The FORD OEM floor mats that came with my car are actually WeatherTech, or an exact copy. They look exactly the same without the WeatherTech logo. I haven't had any trouble with them at all.
I found this about 3D vs WeatherTech. There are others.

Update, new battery produced same results. She checked with her salesman and he said bring it in and they will look at it. Thats when she told me she bought an extended warranty and hopes its covered (she "forgot" to tell me that after days of me running my own diagnostics and google research). I told her I would pay any diagnostic fee and deductible. Turns out they diagnosed ot as needing a new transmission, $100 is all she is paying and they gave her a loaner. Said they have no clue on timeframe for replacement.....
True. Stay on top of them to do a full replacement of the transmission. It's no good to you the way it is.
Remind them that they even stated that there is no more they can do and you still have the problem. If it came back that soon, one can only think what is coming next.
I was happy with the OEM ones that came with my Sport and after many years the driver's mat wore a hole in from my right heel and that's when I went with the 3D which is what we had installed in my wife's BMW X5.
I bought the Ford OEM all weather floor mats for my 24 ST and they work great. You can't go wrong with OEM, and the price was good.
Trim to fit is a red flag to me too.
I can't comment on the Michelin but have the 3D in both my vehicles and that's the brand I'm sticking with.

I don't expect the trim-to-fit is a good option.
Was poking around for all-weather mats for the '24 ST last night and kept seeing Michelin pop up. 4pcs set, trim-to-fit, cargo liner in the box. Had no idea. Not buying anything yet, just trying to figure out whether they're worth a look for a year-round daily here in Ohio. The trim-to-fit part is what I can't picture — how much cutting are we talking about on an Edge, and does the driver's side sit right around the pedals?
Mostly want to hear from people who actually have them in the car.
Hello everyone…just bought a nice 2013 Ford Edge Sport. It has already had the expensive stuff done,timing chain and water pump,new struts,new tires, and lower control arm kit, new axles with CV joints.
When I bought my 2021 ST, around 10K it developed the thump you speak of. Mine would happen during acceleration from a dead stop. It was very random and felt like the whole transmission was going to explode. Back and forth with the dealer numerous times. They would tell me they couldn't find anything wrong. After numerous trips back and forth, they finally replaced the valve body assembly. I never had the thump come back but had a weird delay shifting into reverse.
I ended up trading in for a 2024 at 12K, just because I never felt comfortable after the experience. Also knew it was the last year for the Edge. I love the vehicle!
I just lost a lot of trust with Ford.
I would push them until they replace the transmission. Once the transmission has a curse, it never fully goes away.
