Wow! I stopped going on their forums after I made the decision that I wasn't going to buy one. I didn't know about all of those issues. It just simply reaffirms my decision not to buy one though. Whew! I sure hate it for those folks who did buy one though. I hope Dodge does right by them. Thanks for the wishes for safe travels. 54 days to go here, 67 until I am driving my new toy. (Don't think that a Ford Dealership isn't the first place I am going when I get off the plane though. I must see this vehicle in person as soon as possible.) Take care, Julia

I'm not sure what it is either, but I too check the forums often. I pick up my Edge on June 4th and I can't wait. I'll be sure to post pictures of my amethyst beauty as soon as I get it (well...as soon as I can bring myself to stop driving long enough to take photos and post them.) Julia

Hi, Scott. It was great to read your message as your wife and I sound a lot alike as far as our vehicle desires. I too loved the Nitro...or so I thought. I too showed all of my friends the brochure, looked at it on line every day, etc. Then I got a chance to see one in person. Walking towards it on the lot I liked it even more than I had from seeing it on line and in the brochure. I was pretty excited at that point. Then I got in it. Unfortunately I never got to drive it (we are not permitted to drive over here in Korea) but just sitting in it and looking at the interior changed my mind immediately. It just felt so stiff and the interior looked really cheap to me. So, I decided to order the Edge site unseen. I will be picking mine up on June 4th. I'm moving back to the US shortly before that, hence the choice of pick-up date. I am so excited, but a little nervous considering I've never seen this vehicle in person. I hope you get good information about the fuel consumption and you are able to make the decision to go ahead and order it. Oh, BTW - I too ordered an amethyst. Take care, Julia

Well, it must be official. My order is being processed. I received an email with my VIN today. Background: (I posted this on another Ford Edge Forum so it may sound familiar if you belong to that forum as well.) I am in the Army currently stationed in Korea. I have exactly 60 days left here (yes, I am counting days! LOL) One of the benefits of being stationed overseas with the military is the option to special order/purchase a vehicle (get a pretty decent price) and have it guaranteed to be ready for pick-up when you get back to the states. So, sight unseen I have ordered an Edge. (My parents went and looked at one for me and seem to think that I'll be very pleased with it so I'm going on a whim and taking their recommendation.) So.....on June 4th (I'm taking a short vacation in Michigan before I head down to my new duty station in South Carolina where I will pick up my vehicle) I'll be picking up my Amethyst SEL+ loaded with every available option and of course, the BAMR. In the mean time, I'll be living vicariously through all of you who are already driving yours, so keep the stories coming. I'll be sure to post photos as soon as I pick it up. Happy Driving, Julia
