My wife and I really enjoy our edge. We have a small trans leak which it is in the shop now for repair. Other then that I have no complaints. May want to rethink the vista roof though, I saw several reports of problems with them. Not only on here but from the ford guys at our shop. I work for another brand automobile at our dealership and an all glass roof isn't just frustrating for the consumer when there is a problem but also for the tech working on the car. Very costly to repair should need be, in parts and labor. We dont have one for thoes reasons. Kind of wish they would have offered a regular sunroof. Very user friendly and quiet on the highway. Great riding car and the awd is a great peice of mind when my wife has to drive in the inclimate weather.

My wifes car is in the shop now. I work at the same dealership but on the Mercedes end. This is the second case they've seen like ours. There is a bad seal on the trans side leaking fluid into the transfer case. If you've ever looked underneath your awd edge you'll see the front wheels are driven conventionaly fwd, and the transfer case is driven out the pass side of the trans where the pass front axle comes out. An unusual setup I must say. The pass side axle goes through the transfer case but is seperated by a hollow shaft which i believe is the drive gear of the transfer case. There is a seal on the trans side and another seal on the out side of the transfer case. Both seals I'm told are on national backorder. However Mazda I'm told use the same trans and transfer case. Parts may be avail from Mazda. We have a rental car so we are going to wait till Ford will make more avail. I'm assuming this was an unforseen problem and supplies from ford are limited.
