robertlane Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Way to go for the Ford Edge team! I think that those who have an Edge are one of the prime reason that it rates so very well, year after year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightydog Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I don't have an ecoboost but I do love my edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimp Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 The reliability always gets pulled down by the MyFord Touch system which I think is my favorite part of the vehicle. My wife drives a 2009 Mercedes E-Class with the same large display with the same mapping, phone, and entertainment features. But it's all controlled by buttons. It takes twice as long to find anything drilling down through control layers via buttons and I think it's about three times as likely to cause you to have an accident from being distracted, but I haven't seen Consumer Reports slam them for it. I've had that car for three years and still can't work my way through it while it took at most two weeks before I was comfortable with the Ford functionality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightydog Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I agree, I like the Touch system but they could make it a little easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct about the MyFord Touch - it's the single most factor for Ford's low ratings in consumer reports and I read more owner complaints about it across all Ford sites, regardless of vehicle than any other. I had an Explorer with one in it and it seemed to operate OK for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightydog Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I have heard the same issues but I have had both systems and I perfer the Ford system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammie Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 It is the one thing that I don't like, I find it hard to use and not very user friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 The problem here is that people don't feel that they need to or should restart the system or update it when new software comes out. A lot of people out there love their MFT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
