Build quality

I did get the extended warranty, I'll give it a year and see how things go, but overall I'm disappointed

The hardest part of the past 5 years was being without my vehicle for a week or 10 days at a time. At least it was free repair and free rental or loaner. My favorite loaner was an Edge ST and a Bronco Sport.

Thank you so much for the heads up, fingers crossed as I had a rover and lived through that nightmare, thought Ford had their shit together.

Sadly my loyalty to Ford is fading fast. I had 2 Fords switched to Infiniti in 2002, then back to Lincoln in 2010 through 2019 I got this Ford. Now I'm shopping other brands again...

The problem with this Ford is it's fully a Ford North America product. My 2010 MKZ was based on Mazda6 and 2013 MKZ was a German Mondeo/Fusion platform. They were much more durable and reliable overall and I bought both slightly used CPO warranty. I kept both about 5 years and had ZERO powertrain or major mechanical failures. My repairs were failed heated seat, center display/motherboard, AC sensor, just electrical and electronic glitches and a panoramic roof track replacement. My second choice back in 2019 was a CPO 2018 Naulilus V6 which cost about $10K less than the brand new ST with discounts. I think that Lincoln would have been more problem free based on what I've heard about that generation Edge/Nautilus. It was a 3 year old design and proven with most bugs worked out. The Edge ST probably would have been more reliable too.
