[QUOTE="J.Rovirosa, post: 16577656, member: 76449"] Needs to be confirmed, but in working on my sister's '08 Edge, I found out that the water pump in the 3.5 fwd applications is behind the timing chain. When it fails, it dumps coolant into the engine. Hers only has 120k miles on it, but it's already needed the cam phasers replaced, probably due to her not getting the oil changed enough. It doesn't get the best mileage and is not particularly quick, but has otherwise been trouble-free. And I'd never buy anything with Ford's Vista roof; if the tracks aren't kept greased constantly, you WILL break the plastic guides for the glass panel which will necessitate removing half the interior to replace the entire track assembly and runs about 400 bucks each side. I lucked out that the problem is so common that there are aluminum aftermarket guides for this reason, but my fear now is that if these guides or those that hold up the back of the panel bind up, the glass will break instead. Probably not going to be opening the sunroof too much after this. [/QUOTE]
