johnc77us Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I know what you are going through. I have a 2011 Ford Edge Sport stored in the garage and babied and the entire My Touch System is on the fritz. It locks up frequently, buttons fade off the screen, and I cannot even get the radio to come on. In for service 3 times already where each time it worked for about 3 days and then quit. I have gotten blank screens, error messages, "Sync Performing System Maintenance", etc. All this tech. and I cannot even listen to the radio or turn on my heated seat or adjust where the heat comes out. Unbelievable. Definitely a victim of Ford's politically correct engineering team. Also, the dealer told me that two of the four rims are losing air due to corrosion of the rims. The Vista roof leaks. The paint has defects - tons of greyish spots and oxidation in it like it was left in a field over the summer or something. The trim is falling off on the drivers side rocker panel. The vehicle is a front wheel drive and 3.7L currently getting only 16.7mpg under normal driving (scared to get on it as something else will break). Other design flaws include overly complicated My Touch system GUI is a disaster and needs to be simplified, rear window does not open, SEL model is faster than SPORT and gets better gas mileage for thousands less and the dash works, no towing on sport model, vista roof is noisy (air), rain sensing wipers come on in car wash and off switch is many menus away and not memorized as are the rear beeper and traction assist, and more to come I am sure so stay tuned! Of course, I have not been compensated in the least for my troubles with this vehicle either yet the payment still goes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say you have a lemon, check out the lemon law and see what you can do. I also have a 2011 sport and everything works well, I've had no issues. I have 2800 miles on it and my gas mileage is now up to 21mpg and I get on it every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! 21mpg is better than the SEL models. From what I have read, they are getting 20.4mpg but that was an AWD. Is your ESport a AWD? I have been a fan of Ford cars for sometime. Before this, I had a Fusion which ran well. But this Edge is a disaster. Plus, the dealer cannot give me a loaner because he is out due to so many other Edges with similar problems. Hope yours continues to run well. They are going to replace the "module' on mine. I will be without a car for a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
