Talk:Ford Edge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Production Delays:

I have read many theories about why Edge's launch was delayed: Quality and quality control issues were the chief amongst these. Particularly, I had heard that Ford was not releasing the Edge until it could work through 5 days of production with no quality issues. Other theories are about improvements to materials, fixing various "quality of perception" issues, and what is currently posted, "Supplier Issues" (the first time I had heard this).

Can anyone find a definitive source on this?
