Headed to a local dealership to see about a Mazda but was wowed and impressed with true trim level and space I needed in the edge . One week after driving it to work and back (50 mile round trip) check engine light, after Being blown off 4 times at the dealership I finally got someone to run the scanner to get the codes . 2nd and 3rd cylinder misfire . They replaced the eco boost 2.o which was still under warranty . This replacing the faulty motor with a newer faulty design motor without a fix that is different than the first time , I have lost confidence .
I’ve been looking to find a Toyota Mazda or Honda in the used lot to swap this car out with. Not finding anything acceptable yet …but this is a house of ford so this will be a crapshoot … taking too much time. Pulling out of this will hurt my credit . Should I take it back and take my chances? Sell it or use as trade in at another dealership? They did give me a rental during the repair.
I feel like a renegotiation on the price of the vehicle at the very least or some other sort of perk is called for here. I went in today and they suggested I pay them $50 and they would extend the power train warranty. Which will soon be expired .

So yes FORD stands for Fix Or Repair Daily for a reason. I did a quick search and in my area this car is going for on average $25k depending on mileage. I would suggest get the car valued at places like CarMax, Carvana, etc. and see what they'll offer you for it and sell it and buy a Rav4 or something. If you can pay about $26k you can buy a brand new base Rav4 instead of having to buy overpriced used cars.
And even if you still decide to go for a used one avoid used car lots; crooks is the least word for describing them.
Get rid of it as soon as you can. Eliminate Ford from your automotive selection and get something with some quality, like Toyota or Honda.
