Wow, you're doing that well? The Edge sounds like it would be a nice step up from my Crown Vic... now... just to decide what we will get... Edge, Explorer, Fusion, or Taurus lol...

Weelllll... this is not entirely true. There are some cases where it can dry out. Case in point, I currently drive a 2003 Crown Victoria... The hood latch makes squeaking noises, and eventually turns into a groan that sounds like a busted suspension if ignored. Spraying WLG into the latch and actuating it works, and cures the problem.... for about three weeks. Then all the grease has settled out of the mechanism and it continues as if never treated! I suspect it would perform wonders on a seat rail though, since there is less wind traveling through the cabin... :D

I've never heard of Fords ever making loud banging noises as something that's somehow normal. I have heard some vehicles make a loud clunking when moving into gear but that is indicative of a serious problem!

I think they've been taking heavy doses of asphalt therapy... :D

Do I see a black Explorer as well? Two lovely vehicles there

Thanks, cptampa. I belong to another forum for my current vehicle, a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria, so I agree, most people come to a car forum to talk either A, about their troubles with the car or B, about their love for the car. :D Technical areas of forums are invariably stuffed with problems because yeah, who comes to a forum for problems when their car is working? Haha. I'm trying to keep my previous car forum experiences, and the sales numbers of the Edge in mind. Maybe we will just get a low-end one without MyTouch and have leather seats installed, lol.

Hey everyone! My girlfriend and I have been looking at buying an Edge, so I decided to join this forum to feel out other owners and what they think about the Edge. So far the technical section's offerings have been worrisome, but I know that the tech section of any car site does not have "my vehicle is working perfectly!" threads because of the nature of those kinds of problems! Overall I have heard that the reliability is pretty good, but we will definitely be scared away from a purchase if those kinds of problems are normal. I hope they aren't because we have seen a number of them around town and we feel our hearts are already set... Enough doomsday talk though... looking forward to my stay here.
