Oil pressure is not oil level. Don't drive it until you verify whether you actually have low oil pressure. It could be the oil pressure sensor. If the sensor is ok then it could be the oil pump.

Says who? There has been no information on the 2015 Edge published yet even to the dealers for order banks, etc. It's up in the air whether the new one will show up this year as a 2015 or next year as a 2016. If it's going to be this year it better show up quickly.

I haven't played with it enough to verify, but it used to work on my Fusion and now it doesn't and there is no option to turn it back on. I haven't tried re-pairing it yet. But..... I just paired my iphone 5 and my wife's iphone 5S with her brand new Escape and it doesn't work there either. I'll do more troubleshooting.

Well that sucks. Sounds like the dealer caused more problems while fixing the original problems. Can't blame you for getting rid of it based on that history.

It will auto-reboot if it gets too hosed. As long as you can pair the phone and it reconnects I wouldn't worry about it - it should fix itself.

iphone text messaging never worked on the older sync systems - only the MFT systems briefly.

Mine also quit working on my 2013 Fusion. I think it was one of the recent IOS updates. I don't even have the notifications option in the bluetooth information screen on the iphone.

It could be leaking under pressure and burning off, although you'd normally be able to smell that.

It's a DVD and if the update fails it can "brick" the system. I wouldn't do it unless you really need the most up to date maps.

If they worked before then the wiring must have been disconnected when the shifter was replaced.

Remove K&N Filter. Insert OEM filter. Pass SMOG test. Remove OEM filter. Insert K&N filter.

I do. Every time I get a new vehicle. Or at least whenever I encounter a problem or issue or question. Sometimes more than once.

FTFY.

More likely you had water or ice on one of the handles.

If they didn't, they wouldn't make any money. That's why it's called wholesale vs. retail.

Making a note........... 2:27 pm May 20, 2014. Nick agrees with me. Got it!

What would be nice is if you could customize the home screen. Add custom buttons for favorite commands to one section (Focus had this initially although it might have only been for the steering wheel controls), allow sections to be hidden (phone/climate) and allow others to be half or full screen. Also - make a default setting to show the entertainment screen since that's what most people are used to. Or just allow the owner to choose the startup screen.

I don't believe that you can use hard buttons without taking your eyes off the road except maybe for the huge volume button. I haven't seen the split screen design for nav map/radio/climate together. Can you post a picture? Our 08 Edge certainly doesn't work that way. There are dozens of improvements and I'm sure we'll see a lot in the new system (maybe out later this year?), but I don't believe the current system is nearly as bad as people think it is ergonomically and the vast majority of the early defects have been fixed now. I also don't think Ford would fudge, lie or influence poll results - there is no benefit to that. You do have to understand that they're polling people who already bought a mft equipped Ford so that leaves out the folks who decided not to buy one because of MFT. But the point is once you have MFT and spend a bit of time with it 7 out of 10 like it and recommend it to others. That's not exactly a ringing endorsement and I'm sure Ford isn't happy about it, but it does show a big difference from public opinion and media reports that exaggerate the problems and make it sound like everyone hates it.

Nobody said it was perfect or that it didn't need to be improved. The first several versions stunk on ice. I was the moderator here during the MFT launch on the 2011 Edge so I know how bad it was. There are many reasons why that happened and many things that Ford did wrong in the process. They relied on an outsourced vendor (Bsquare) who screwed up the code so bad it took them over a year to make any headway and almost 2 years to get it somewhat stable. Of course the 71% survey came from Ford - who else would do such a survey? And why would they lie about something that could be challenged so easily by a competitor by doing their own poll? And if they were going to make it up they certainly would have made up a much higher number. Yes, they did away with the touch sensitive buttons. I have them in my Fusion and don't particularly like them. But they're not the end of the world, either. Just not quite as easy to use. And they're certainly not part of MFT. Where I think they made it too complicated was the home screen instead of a regular menu and having too many ways to do something which confuses people. There isn't any need to use the touch screen for climate control other than the heated seat controls but I do that from the home screen (Fusion - Edge might be different). Hard buttons would help there. You can change the temp from the buttons below the screen or from the steering wheel. The Nav screen is just like every other Ford nav screen - no difference and it's accessible from anywhere with one touch of the upper right screen area. No need to use the phone screen except to pair a new phone. Using it only requires voice commands or steering wheel buttons. For entertainment, I only use the touch screen to switch from Sirius to USB and back. I use the steering wheel controls for station selection and volume. I use voice control to play a song or playlist or artist. So honestly - what is so difficult about it now? The problems that caused the drop in quality were hangs, freezes, reboots and slow response. None of those problems exist in the latest version. Again - I know it's not perfect but it works quite well if you spend just a few minutes to learn it and set it up. You hardly hear any complaints about it from current vehicle tests. If you don't like it that's perfectly fine but don't pretend that everyone hates it just because you do. And since you played the IT card - I'm an IT architect for a Fortune 20 company with 30 years of experience including software development, so I know a little bit about software.

To the contrary - 80% of MFT owners recommend the system to others. It's certainly not perfect and has lots of room for improvement, but most of the displeasure lately seems to be a personal preference thing with the screen layout or menu options or just a general dislike of touch screens. There is a big difference between a cell phone screen that only has to last 2 or 3 years and a vehicle screen that has to last 20 years or more.

The system dates each post automatically. I'm surprised they wouldn't cover it only 184 miles past warranty.

Yep - forgot about the relay(s). There are 2 fuses/relays if you have the towing package, one if not in the power distribution box under the hood. They're labeled in the owner's manual.

If the temp gauge is reading hot and the fans aren't coming on then it's almost certainly the controller.

You can only replace the fans and controller together. The good news is you can get the Dorman part from Amazon for $150 and replace it yourself. I just did mine on Friday. Next time do a simple search before you post - this thread has all the details: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12731-radiator-fan-assembly-replacement-procedure/
