Letslivesafe:
My personal experience with Ford edge.
I bought a naija used 07 ford edge in 2019 as my first car. I enjoyed the car at first but at some point couldn't keep up with d defects it was developing. That was because I gave a technician who didn't understand Ford vehicles.
I had the vehicle manual and decided to read it up, that's when I knew most technicians damage any make of vehicle by using the wrong lubricant for different components.
I stumbled on FEMTOPFORD on nairaland and he was dishing me with advises on phone for free, he advised me to always scan my vehicle before heading to the workshop. This prompted me to buy a hand obd scanner.
When my water pump failed and I had to bring down my engine to replace the water pump. After the repair I got fed up and put the car for sale.
I was later directed to a ford technician in Asaba who has expertise in ford over the years, walking into his workshop I was convinced cause I saw majorly ford cars and American cars in his workshop. He was also working on a water pump and he showed me how to loose the water pump without bringing down the engine.
After he drove my car, he advised me not to sell the vehicle or I will regret it. He said this is one of the vehicles that can withstand the bad roads in Asaba.
I decided to give the vehicle more time. I have noticed I have used the car with bad suspensions for a long time and even travelled a long distance with bad suspensions ( though I know it's a bad practice). I have not driven into a workshop other than when last I changed my engine oil.
Conclusion: I have decided to upgrade to a 2011- 2013 ford edge

Explorer is a huge SUV with maximum comfort, you will not spend unreasonable maintenance cost if you keep to manufacturer guide.
Howver, make sure you test drive the car to be sure the gear selection is perfect, check to be sure engine is in good condition without oil spill. Drive and speed up to 120kmh to be sure no vibration or shaking. Test braking system to be sure your ABS is OK.

Finally, ask the seller to tell you car repair history. Don't forget to ask when last he did oil change and transmission fluid change so u can be guided even though your car computer have the oil intelligent warming required change.

Thank you for your comments.
I finally got the car and apparently the dealer didn't service te car so I probably need to do a complete servicing but I need a few clarifications, how regular should the transmission fluid be changed based on your experience? And do you have vendor you can recommend who sales the original fluid so i can get from the person

Thanks Curiobling and further more, he should be sceptical about the fluids.

At Femtopford Auto workshops, engine service is every 4 months and transmission service is once annually. I will advise he goes for the 3.0 liters ivct engine instead of the 2.0 liters Ecoboost engine which the costs engine and transmission are thrice that of 3.5 ivct.

I drive a 2017 Ford Edge Titanium 2.0L (FWD).
The car drives normally at low speed in busy traffic, but when driving on the expressway and trying to accelerate, the engine revs and the first gear takes about 7 seconds before responding, while the second gear takes about 5 seconds before engaging.
Most of the research I have been doing have been pointing towards "Ford 6F35 Transmission Valve Body / Solenoid Pack" issues.

How and where can I get this fixed?
