Seeking info on Ford Edge reliability

[mkaresh]

We've updated the results for the Edge to include owner experiences through June 2009. In terms of successful repair trips per 100 cars per year:

 

2008 FWD: 53, about average, marginal sample size--actual repair rate probably lower

 

2008 AWD: 99, worse than average

 

2007 FWD: 28, better than average

 

2007 AWD: 98, worse than average

 

The AWD continues to require more repairs owing to a common problem with the PTU seal.

 

A big thank you to this forum and everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

Updated results again next month.

 

We're going to start providing new stats for the odds of requiring no repairs and the odds of getting a lemon. These require larger sample sizes, so additional participants would be helpful.

 

The AWDs are currently a few participants short of the minimum for these stats, while the FWDs are a couple short for the regular results.

We've updated the results for the Edge to include owner experiences through September 30, 2009. In terms of successful repair trips per 100 cars per year:

 

2009: 71, about average, small sample size, unable to split FWD and AWD

 

2008 FWD: 45, about average, marginal sample size--actual repair rate probably lower

 

2008 AWD: 99, worse than average

 

2007 FWD: 23, better than average, marginal sample size

 

2007 AWD: 95, worse than average

 

The AWD continues to require more repairs owing to a common problem with the PTU seal.

 

A big thank you to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in February and May.

 

We've also introduced two new statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop. We don't have these for the Edge yet, though, because they require a larger number of responses. So if you aren't already participating, please consider doing so.

6 times in 2 months....down a car for 10 days in total From May-June

[mkaresh]

We've updated the results for the Edge to include owner experiences through June 30, 2010.

 

Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the more recent months until the summer or even fall of next year.

 

In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

 

2010: 117, worse than average, sample size right at the minimum, better than last time and will probably further improve in future updates

 

2009: 71, about average, not enough responses to split FWD and AWD

 

2008 FWD: 27, better than average

 

2008 AWD: 54, about average

 

2007 FWD: 28, better than average

 

2007 AWD: 46, about average

 

The AWD continues to require more repairs owing to a common problem with the PTU seal, though the difference has been narrowing.

what were the issues?

[mkaresh]

I guess he didn't see the question...

 

Updated results in November. Because we're splitting FWD and AWD, additional participants would be very helpful.

 

I'd also like to provide stats as soon as possible for the revised 2011--just a matter of how soon enough owners get involved.
