My 2010 Edge Limited battery just died. It was replaced under warantee in 2/12. When I took it in last time they told me probably just a faulty battery. I wonder what they are going to say about it when I bring it in next week?

My wife's 2010 is averaging 17mpg. This is worse than the 2000 Jeep we replaced.

My wife has a 2010 Edge as well. First battery replaced 2/12. Battery just died again. Going to take it back to the dealer for yet another battery. What is it with these vehicles?? Last time they said they put a better battery in with more cca's. I charged it up last night and it is back down half a volt with no load. These batteries are no good. A little over a year for replacement once I can live with. 2 times in 2 years?BS.

The 3.5L FWD is 19 mpg / 27 mpg / 21 mpg combined

My Wife's limited is averaging 15.5 MPG combined. I am less than impressed. I thought it would get at least 19mpg combined. The sticker on the car is just a highly inflated guess of what Ford dreams of having.

I purchased a Ford Edge cargo mat. I ended up giving it back. For $100 I thought it would not be a cheap flimsy piece or crap. Anyone have any suggestions where I could find a nice quality rubber cargo mat for the 2010 Edge. The factory one is unacceptable and overpriced.

The radio in the limited is a 6 cd changer, not a single disk like the SEL. Also, it has the HDMI plug in the center console which I didn't notice in the SEL.

Alternative which I've purchased that is custom fitted and cuts down on the dash glare and heat build up (protects the dash also): http://www.dashtopper.com/

Yikes! I might put that on a 1980 pinto!

Remember that with X plan you can't be charged more than $75 doc fee. Without X plan doc fees can be as high as $400 or more. If there was dealer cash then that would most likely be available to x plan buyers in the form of additional rebates.

 

 

Hummmm........ I just bought an EDGE using the X plan and the dealership put down $145 for DOC FEES. Luckily the car I picked up was not good enough (it had 455 miles on it) so they are getting me one from another dealer on Monday. I asked him about it and he said that is normal. I did get him to take off about $500 in bogus fees, but it looks like they are trying to screw with me. What other fees should NOT be there? There was $50 inventory tax, is that legit?

Thanks
