Got the Edge back new wheel and all, had to immediately take it for a reprogram to get rid of new errors regarding hill start and forward crash assist. Now the remote start doesn't work. Headed back in on Monday. This is really getting old.

Well my warning on the dash never goes off-- so it's sure not enjoyable to be in. And why should I assume it's safe? It's a steering error!! I think nobody could guarantee it wouldn't go awry and be a hazard.

ETA on new steering wheel is January 31. I will be expecting more answers on if this is a truly new version of the wheel assembly or just the same thing that could fail. My dealer still has my car and is having no luck finding another wheel assembly in the meantime. So far they argue it's unsafe to drive. Jan 31 would be well over the 30 days for a lemon law filing if it indeed takes that long.

So far, they've had my edge for a little over a week, steering wheel is on back order from the vendor. They have no idea how long it'll be but deem my car unsafe to drive. Unbelievable.

Update! New steering wheel coming... no ETA. Sound familiar?!

FYI the software update was ineffective. Backed out my driveway over the gutter and felt the wheel move more than usual. Bingo. Adaptive steering fault again. Service has my Edge now and they say it needs a steering module. Anyone have this experience? Did it fix? Halfway to a lemon complaint now. What a mess for a new car.

Ford applied SSM 46171 to my Edge today to "fix" the warning for me. Anyone know what this means other than it being a software update? Just wondering if this is a fix or a bandaid.

Light/warning came on for me today, then it didn't, now it is again. I guess I'll be the next guinea pig. Nice having a new car.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the info. Over 63mph it won't do it but at 62 it will. Crazy.

Any resolution to this? My new sport does it as well, 58-64 mph. Fluctuates rpm enough to feel it. Took it to my dealer and they said they didn't see it do it. Of course.
