Hi guys. Just an update on my edge. It's still with the dealer. They sent it to Bristol ford yesterday so could look at the problems today but heard nothing from dealer. That's a whole week now they have had it . In fact the dealer has had it more days than me. Really fed up now. They have given me a kuga rental car but just dissapointed.

does anyone have any suggestions what I can do ? Could I refuse the car and tell them to keep it .

Thanks Joe.

Think you've got to give them a chance to fix it before you can formally reject the car- google rejecting a new car.

Have you got Ford Customer Relations involved? They can sonetimes put pressure on the dealer. Might be worth a try.

Thanks customer relations are involved .....told today they don't know how to fix the problems waiting for ford Canada to get back to them with ideas ....they have had the car now 10days and still have no idea how to fix the problems. Given me a rental car but feel very deflated ...hopefully next week I will have an answer

I have formally rejected my Edge. Hopefully getting a Mondeo Vignale for replacement. 

Ford customer relations were great, kept pushing things along when the dealer seemed reluctant to get it sorted. 

Still ongoing though . . . 

What problem(s) did you have with yours?

Main problem was leaking pan roof. Water got into roof and centre consul switches. 

Loose door trim, excess speed warning chime not working. Rear seat  folded half way. Marked paintwork. Bent scuff plate.

Mine was in an accident. Took 8 weeks for my parts!

Just booked mine in for very loud rattle coming from passenger door and rear hatch sticking. Never had any warranty issues with the Kuga though but that was built in Europe the Edge was built over the pond and the amount of miles I have driven over there I didnt have one exceptable decent car. Always found build quality with American / Canadian vehicles dreadful.

Brace yourself for 8 weeks, anything less is a bonus.
