#16 of 39 Re: Ford is a Low Quality Brand So Expect the Edge to be Low Quality, THATS by akirby Nov 03, 2006 (9:04 pm)
Replying to: rafael2 (Nov 03, 2006 2:02 pm) Prove when Ford had a car that was a well built as the Japanese, a Honda or a Toyota.   The 2006 Fusion has a lower defect rate than both the Accord and the Camry. NO recalls. Hardly any TSBs. Very few user reported problems. According to Ford's TGW Global Quality Research System:   Fusion 1,172 TGWs (things gone wrong) Accord 1,353 Camry 1,193   Not the reaction I get on my HONDA Odyssey!   You mean the Odyssey that's had 27 (that's right, 27) recalls since 1997? And 5 in the last 2 years? Sorry but you picked the wrong poster child for import superiority.   I'm talking about the new products from Ford - the F150, Mustang, Fusion, 500, Edge and their Lincoln/Mercury counterparts that have all been introduced new or significantly updated in the last 3 years. These models are proving extremely reliable - equal to or better than the imports. No argument on some of the older stuff. But it's not 1995 anymore. Even Hyundai has respectable (if not stellar) quality now.

I am going to give you the "proverbial" 0.02 cents on this matter ...I am ready to buy a CUV and I was undecided between the EDGE and the MAZDA CX 9..both good vehicles in my opinion,of course the CX 9 being a higher price. I subscribed to different groups MAZDA and FORD EDGE and what I am noticing is that the MAZDA CX 9 forums are reporting more "dissapointments" (small ones) than the people in the EDGE forums. This made me think in the price differences on both vehicles fully loaded (about $3500 difference). Again for the price, it seems that FORD's EDGE is a winner hands down.I have not followed the others like the ENCLAVE (dealers believe that they have a "HOT" item..very little negotiations,if any)..Saturn(with their "famous" no haggling policy) and GMC (they also think that they have the vehicle for the second coming of CHRIST ,not trying to be irreverent),so that leaves me back to the EDGE,which incidentally you can hardly find any 2007 they way I want it, so I will wait another 30 or 60 ddays for the 2008 which is coming much better equip (they way I like it). Sorry for the long posting.. Replies to this message: jet2work (Aug 02, 2007 9:48 am)

Replying to: frizz2112 (Oct 23, 2006 4:51 pm) I have been driving Fords for over forty years and I have had very good service with every one of them.I have a 96 Aerostar with well over 100,000 miles on. This vehicle has never had a tune up, original spark, wires, etc. Never had a problem with it. It run like a new one, not one time has it ever failed me, and its still solid and trouble free and I have had it for over ten years. There is no way that I would trade any of my Ford's for a rice burner. I also have a 2003 Ford Super Duty turbo diesel, great truck, lot of power, well built, not bad on fuel either, better than any stinken Tundra.

Replying to: ANT14 (Oct 20, 2006 10:12 am) Great article, how true it is. No manufacture is perfect. I have been driving Fords for over forty years, and they have been good to me.I hope Ford gets through this and gets back on top.No rice burners for me.
