Hey Tulsa, I live in Pittsburgh PA now, but grew up in your neck of the woods (Jenks, Sapulpa, Tulsa, etc). Anyway, I am having the same problem with bugs. In the three weeks I've owned my Edge I think I've hit every bug in western PA. And since this is my first white vehicle it seems like they all stand out like a sore thumb. I tried bug remover spray but it doesn't seem to help much. As to the question of if I am satisfied or not.... I love it, but... The first week my side window cracked (from somewhere down inside the door). The second week it wouldn't start one night (said "key fob not detected" after 10 minutes of panic & anger my husband googled the issue and we were able to get it started). And this week a rock hit my windshield (no major damage, but did chip it). Now while I do realize that last one had nothing to do with the vehicle, I am hoping that trouble comes in threes and that was the third one and we are done now. I am a real techy person and love gadgets & such, so this seemed like the perfect car. I hate Microsoft (I'm an Apple gal), but so far Apple's not putting their awesome products into cars, so I'll have settle for what I can get. The MFT has been a little laggy & buggy, but I expected that. I honestly think part of the problem is that they try to cram too much on a screen. Those nav screens are a mess. But if you don't try to navigate too quickly through the screens it will get you to what you want. I'm still adjusting to the size & shape. Like others here have said, I'm having a hard time knowing where my nose is and I keep driving to the left of the lanes cause I feel like my right side is too close to everything. I know it's just a matter of perspective & I will get used to it eventually. Over all, I am pretty happy so far. It is probably too early to say if I would recommend it to people, but I wouldn't steer someone away from one either.

Same thing happened to me this past Saturday night. My Edge was 14 days old that night. We tried everything we could think of before finally calling road side assistance were I was told that all they could do was send a tow. We tried the remote start (it started but wouldn't finish the final stage when the brake was depressed & the button pushed), we tried putting the fob in the slot in the console. Finally my husband did a google search on his phone & found these postings. We got out, locked it, waited a few minutes then got in & it started right up. I must say, this is my first Ford and so far I am not "loving" it. I don't hate it yet, but it is starting to get on my nerves. (9 days after I bought it the driver side window cracked down inside the door-another issue that I found others had had as well. The Edge spent 2 days in the shop to get that fixed). So, so far it has not been the best experience. I have purchased 2 other brand new vehicles in my life (both GM brands) and I have never had issues like these in the first weeks, let alone first years.
