I'm currently driving a rental Ford Edge for work, and the infotainment has been littered with so many glitches that it's frustrating. The bluetooth is so bad that probably 80% of phone calls are messed up--and that's not an exaggeration. Some of the time the connection is complete static, and sometimes there is just absolutely no sound from the caller. It's ridiculous. I've never had so many issues with bluetooth in any other car I've ever driven. Another guy at work has a rental Edge as well and has the same issues with bluetooth. Additionally, sometimes the infotainment doesn't display the correct information on the screen, either. I could be listening to music from a USB drive, but the track list won't show. I've had to reset the infotainment from other random issues as well.
This isn't infotainment related, but the forward collision warning is also total garbage. It only goes off when I'm crawling in stop and go traffic at 3 mph. The Edge also has the climate controls on the screen (which is asinine since there's still buttons for other stuff right below), which I'm quickly learning to despise as well. I hate the Ford decided to put the climate on the touch screen...
With that being said, my experience in the Edge has put a bit of a damper on my desire to get a 24 Mustang due to the increased use of the infotainment screens and the potential for so many small but annoying issues. For those that have their cars, what has your experience been like? I don't know how much (if any) of the infotainment and electronics are shared between the Edge and the Mustang, so I'm curious to get real world perspectives from those that actually have their cars.
