How Good Is Ford Edge by Marpol: 1:41pm On Apr 22, 2015
Hi house, please how good is Ford Edge? I mean the 2007, 2008 or 2009 models. I have been hearing about the transmission being problematic. Can someone kindly shed more light on this please.

Nice answer.
You just indirectly answered other prevalent questions ("How much is the average repair cost ?" and "Where can i find a ford mechanic?"wink

From your answer i hope he know his options are shipping parts from US or Kazeem installing a "Lamborghini" engine(parts) for him

Two of my colleagues are complaining seriously about the scarcity of the parts. They said they made a very big mistake by buying it.


But why is there no parts in Nigeria?
Re: How Good Is Ford Edge by sultaan(m): 2:26am On Apr 23, 2015
What type of parts are they looking for?

If you buy on Amazon like pyke part might end up cheaper.

Any mechanic should be able to repair any car because you are going off the scan result or replacing an obviously worn part.

They probably have the same transmission as your Japanese cars made by Aisin

The Edge is fitted with a transmission developed by Ford and GM. Stay away from models prior to 2009, as they have defective transmissions - the clutch components break easily.

If their parts are scarce, I may start selling them grin

But seriously, can't they be sourced from Ford Nigeria??
Re: How Good Is Ford Edge by sultaan(m): 2:28am On Apr 24, 2015
That I'd the problem with this sole distributor idea that the dealers in Nigeria crave

Ford edge is a very good and reliable car, both the 1st built of 2007-2009 and the 2nd built 2010-2014 of 3.5lit engine V6.

The transmission is good with high efficiency, provided that the car users do not violate the use of specified transmission fluid recommended by 'Motorcraft' manufacturer for servicing the transmission which are 2 blended types meant for 1st and 2nd built as per there different expansion characteristics due to the transmission operating temperature.

Recently there are parts in Nigeria, a lot of Ford spare parts dealers are effective in Nigeria because Ford vehicles especially edge and Explorer are numerously shipped into Nigeria and demands of customers are extremely high

Average repair is economical once the car owners abide by Ford/Motorcraft specifications.

Ford repair should not be fully based on scanning result alone, because norms and standards defer from various vehicles manufacturers.

Re: How Good Is Ford Edge by Nobody: 10:18am On Mar 27, 2016
The 2007-2009 ford edge are pretty much the same,except for the fact that some petty touches were made to improve economy in the 08 and 09. 2010 model year had significant change in both engine and transmission. So if its all about the most improved version of the first generation,it should be the 2010 Ford edge.

Re: How Good Is Ford Edge by sultaan(m): 10:23pm On May 28, 2023
7 years later, the Edge has turned out to be one of the fastest selling SUV in Lagos.
Considering the number sold then and the number on the road.

The popularity of the car on the road should indicate it is a decent SUV to buy at it price.

So from your professional point of view.
The standard recommendation by our techs is to advise buyers to go for Toyota, or Honda.

Knowing what you know now compared to 7 years ago, if I cannot afford the Toyota/ Honda price, will you recommend a Ford Edge

When parts can be picked up as easy as Toyota and Honda or Kia/Hyundai, I shall consider, in the meantime at arms length.

The car is in use in Canada not Naija. Bad roads and auto mechanics are a major problem in Nigeria.

Naija roads aren’t good for any car brand. Good maintenance culture and patronizing honest and good professionals will ensure your car is in good shape.
