Canadians can purchase the USA sold ESP's

I've had my Edge Sport since new and in 27 Months have 50,400 Km (31,500 Miles) on it

I purchased the 5 year 75,000 Mile or 120,000 KM $50 Deductible plan from Troy Ford on their web site ( $1,140 no Tax) After exchange rate ($1,207CDN)

.

I got an automated email from Troy Ford stating they would process my contract in 3 business days

Ed Wright FromTroy Ford sent me my contract on the Third day.

My local Canadian Dealer confirmed that my ESP was on their system about a week later

I saved over $1,800 + Taxes on this ESP by buying it from Troy Fords Website in the USA over my local Ford Dealer.

I know most of the guys and girls in my Service Dept from my Roush track days and show and shines and they told me the deal I got was at least $1200 below the dealers cost for this plan in Canada

Tmbubell, Is your bug deflector from Ford??

Thanks

Yes,

This is the Ford Bug Deflector

Its been over 2 years and 31,000 miles/ 50,000 km and the deflector has held up well and I still have all 5 of those knobs stuck to the hood of the car under the deflector

I have a 2012 Edge Limited in White Platinum (you know, the extra $500 paint job...) Well I have noticed that my front and back bumpers are starting to fade to a yellowish tint. The paint on the plastic bumpers is a different color then the metal sides. Anyone else have this issue?

 

I have attached a photo so you can see the difference.

 

 

Same Problem with my 2011 Edge Sport .

Ford has messed this up somehow - not considering the paint was going on a plastic bumper instead of metal so processes needed to be different or something

Dealer said they would repaint them to match but I have never had much luck with non factory paint holding up to driving conditions - non factory paint seems to chip a lot easier.

He also mentioned that the bumpers are not painted at the same location as the Edge Body. I have also noticed that my fuel door is doing the same thing

They've gotten more of the new website up.

 

Looks like the update is getting closer.

Update is on the web site now

I was having a similar issue with my 2011 Sport pulsating when braking (25,000 Miles / 40,000 Km)

After i first felt the pulse it took me 2 weeks to get to the dealer and have it checked out

Here is what they found

Measure rotor run out -

Front has .006-.008 Runout

Machine front brake rotors

Measurement before was 28.15 MM - RT Side - After 27.70 mm

Measurement before was 28.05 MM - LF Side - After 27.75 mm

Rear brakes are good

I have the FMPP maintenance plan so all was covered

Service advisor said this is a known issue

Hmmm, never noticed it before but I have a little play in mine too, about 1/8" maximum travel left to right, maybe a little less. My 2013 Edge is only 6 months old, so I'd think what you're experiencing is pretty normal.

Thanks for checking.

Question

I had the trim piece that the camera mounts behind replaced.

The camera now has a little play/wiggle to it when cleaning

I can't remember if that is normal or if it was solid before and didn't move when cleaning

Is your camera solid or have a little play?

Thanks

I have the FMPP maintenance plan so all was covered for free, it was also a good time to get the 22" all-seasons back on the Edge and put the 17" winters into storage

I can send and receive with my Galaxy S III, but you cant send unless you are stopped, will not let you do it moving.

You might check your to see if it shows up when your stopped.

Thanks

I was parked in my driveway while testing.

I was told the dealerships have the new A4 nav cards in stock. I called my local dealer and they do. I've scheduled the update for Friday. Hoping this adds the "notification" area on my phone under Bluetooth cause I can't get it to appear now before the update. When I talked to ford they said that the iPhone at this time is not compatible for text messaging. Here's hoping they are wrong and the update helps

I have it working on my iphone 4

It receives messages only ,

I'm on the Telus network

Where does one even find the update to 3.5.1 anyhow? All I see when I go to the update page is that I have logged the successful update of 3.2.2 and there is no place for me to click on downloading a newer version. I've updated before but it seems now I'm missing something. Anyone know how to help me out here?

I was at the dealer getting new wiper blades (part of service package) and the service manager asked if I wanted 3.5.1 and the new A4 NAV card installed.

I have the 3.5.1 update now and turned on the show notification box in my iphone 4 bluetooth sync settings.

I can now receive text messages :hyper:

My phone provider is Telus BC, Canada

Sending messages still doesn't work , heard this wont work until Apple unlocks something in MAPP protocol

Thanks

What is a good bug deflector that would look good on a 2013 Edge Sport tuxedo black.

I have the Ford Protector on my 2011 Sport

its been on since new (May 2011) no problems or complaints.

The 5 rubber nobs mounted to the hood under the protector have even stayed in place

any opinions on the price?

I have the same Edge Sport that i bought brand new in May 2011 - $46000 + taxes from the Lower Mainland, British Columbia

Wow, that means my Edge Sport has lost $21,000 in 18 Months of ownership.

Check the Vin # with ICBC and make sure nothing happened to it, also ask if it was a rental company return

Other than that it looks like you are getting a really good deal.

I have a 13 SEL that has 20" Scorpion all seasons. I'm not sure what seasons they are referring to but after sliding around all day in the first snowfall of the season, I'll label them as 3 season lol.

 

I have never owned snow tires so I am wondering what the preference is for size? From the forum, 17's seem popular. Is it price? Performance?

Here is what I did last year:

Posted 19 November 2011 - 04:35 AM

I went with 235/65/17 BFgoodrich Slalom KSI

(4) Black Steel Wheels

(4) 235/65/17 BFgoodrich Slalom KSI

(4) TPMS

Brand New Set up: installed, mounted, balanced , Taxes, enviro fees, OTD $ 1,194 Canadian (- Minus $50 BFgoodrich mail in, dealer 100 bonus air miles) Total OTD Cost $ $1,144

The dealer reprogrammed my edge sport awd to the new size so the speedo is accurate

Fitment is good and no clearance issues

The only difference i felt in the braking and handling was it seemed a bit easier to turn the steering wheel, less resistance

Update

Gas mileage and acceleration has improved with the smaller tire

The idea is the smaller the tire the better it cuts through the snow

My '12 Edge Limited has 20 in wheels and tires Winter is almost here and I want winter tires as I live close to the mountains and we do get some heavy snow here in Lethbridge. There are no 20 in steel wheels available. Tires have few choices. Fords winter pkg is 17" I want 18" wheels and tires no problem. How is the change from 20 to 18 going to affect my speedo etc. are there any changes to be made to the computer and if so I suppose only Ford can do it. Any suggestion or advice????

Hi,

 

I have a quick question - I own a 2013 Ford Edge Sport AWD (with 22s) and I need to get winter tires for this coming cold Winer season here in Canada.

 

Buying 22 inch winter tires are super expensive, so I've got a lead on a new set of Blizzak tires (245/45 R20) on seperate rims. They reportedly came off a Taurus SHO.

 

The wheels (rims) are 8.5" wide with a '114.3 x 5' bolt pattern.

 

Will these fit my Edge? Are there any issues I should worry about with the different in rims/tires?

 

Your help us appreciated!

Running MFT 3.22

updated iphone 4 to iOS 6

tried messaging (Texting) sending and receiving

Sending MFT touch said it was successful, but person never gets text

Messaging inbox is empty even though phone receives texts?

Has anyone got this feature to work on the iphone 4 with MFT ?

Not to change the subject matter but tmbubell how long ago did you get the sirius radio subscription?

I got it with my 2003 Steeda Focus in 2005 for $499 (I Think) , Sirius transferred it to my 2007 Roush Mustang for free in 2007 and then transferred it to the Edge for $75 in 2011.

Noticed something else with the update other than temp display.

I have a lifetime Sirius radio subscription and after the update all of my sync services are working and say subscribed

weather, movies, gas etc. Never worked before in Canada

COZ:

I downloaded the update to an 8GB drive and plugged it into the USB drive in my car and nothing happens.

Tried the other USB drive, Same thing.

Tried having the flash drive plugged in before starting the car and also while the car is running.

All I get is a response on the 8" screen that it sees a drive in the USB port.

But nothing happens.

This is frustrating.

Try

Start the vehicle

plug the usb in

goto to maintenance screen (Gears bottom right of home button)

goto settings

in setting go to system

Scroll down to : install application

then click on install software application

from here in about 5 min the screen will change to installing update

then the system will reboot

then microsoft sync page will come up saying 20 min to install

system will reboot

radio will start playing

install complete will come up - press ok

system will perform Maintenance

Then Done - Approx 30 min total with the vehicle running the whole time

This is how my update went

I downloaded the update onto my USB device from syncmyride site - took 2 Min

Update took approx: 30 Min

Had to repair my phone after install

It added the temp back onto the 8" screen :hyper:

Kept all my radio stations in right order

Kept all my Nav Favourites

So far so good,

Only real difference noticed besides temp is on start up the screen is black for about 3-4 seconds before the home page comes up.

I have a 2011 Sport

I had a similar intermittent rattle coming from the back.

Spare tire hold down had come loose, tightened it up, no more rattle.

I also had a rattle from the vista roof, it didn't seat just right one time and during the rainy season the roof can stay closed for weeks.

rattle was there until i opened the roof and it went away, Closed the roof and it seated properly, no more rattle

I was also wondering about this.

When the Edge was brand new, I didn't notice it as much, now that it a year old the bumper seems to be a creamer white ?

New

A week old

Hmm i guess it was always a little off

The other trim pieces haven't discoloured or change colour, just the front and rear bumpers.

I have noticed this on some other Edges and MKX's which have the tri-white.

Edge is due for its spring Detail, so I will see if this helps, if not I will ask the dealer whats going on.
