Tomorrow I make the final decision to trade my 2008 Ford Edge. I am proud to drive the Edge because it simply stands out in a crowd of bland automobiles. It has a great sound system and its comfortable to drive. If only it was reliable!!! A series of transmission issues ranging from limp mode, to being very "clunky", and even shifting to first gear at 50 MPH and locking up the front tires! A new transmission was installed. This is a budget busting car. The Vista Roof is clicking when I engage it to close after I open it. It still opens and closes, but this is another major repair cost coming soon. The cam shaft actuator has been replaced a couple of times and the latest repair was only a month old before the check engine light came on again. Ford said it was the cam shaft actuator and when I asked if that was under warranty since the repair was under 30 days they quickly pointed the finger to the computer. The computer is another $1000. The perception about owning a german automobile past it's warranty is justified due to cost "should something go wrong". The same can be said about FORD. The difference is Ford will go wrong and do it frequently. What a disappointment! I want another Ford, but there is no way I will buy another one due to quality. Out of all American made cars FORD has the most potential. Tommorrw I trade in my 2008 Edge Limited for $9000 after putting 5000 in repairs this year. FORD please find a way to put Quality in your design ... (not just looks) and quality in your build. Sad to say goodbye to Ford.
