My Advance Trak error display has been coming on on my 2011 Edge over the last several weeks (approx 32k miles) Took it to the dealer. Ford knows it is a problem but has no fix right now.

I get that problem every once in a while. Tomorrow it will probably work, but it will also prob happen again

Dealer could not fix the problem. Ford knows about it but has no solution at this time.

I'm not going to trust that, I will still take mine in. My light sometimes comes on for a few seconds, sometimes it stays on for a minute or two. always turns off while I am driving. Sometimes I ge the two little icons to come on on the lower right, so the indicators are very intermittent.

I have an Edge SEL with about 32k miles and I started getting the Advance Trac warning light a few days ago. It will come on for a few seconds, sometines a few minutes, doesn't come back on immediately when I start the car. I am taking it in, but I cannot duplicate it on demand so I will take a pic when it happens again

Any problems I have had with Nav, and that is very few, I resolve by hitting the voice button, saying "services" then "directions" and go from there. Works reliably. I also go to an address on Google maps and send it to my Edge.

Sadnes, What are you trying to say?

I was at a dealer and the accessory person was clear that due to liability and that those were not the original head rests, she could not tell me that it is something I should do. She danced aroud the topic and was not jumping at the chance to take one off of a newer Edge and try it on my 11. For $400 a pair, wife and I passed. Also what would the implications be if we were in an accident and one of us was hurt and the head rests were involved?

That "bugs" site is extremely helpful in seeing what bugs have been reported. I looked at all of them and other information, Thanks!

Don't take this wrong, it is an opinion, but why are a lot of people complaining about the temp display moving? Who looks at it much? I have had my Edge for 1.5 years and I have looked at the temp maybe 2 times. If passenger wants to know, they can ask the driver, you look down and there it is. I understand wanting the time big and easy to see, you need to know what time it is to see if you are running late. I just don't get it.

I installed the update including nav about 10 days ago. Everything works great and I am completely satisfied. This is from someone who had some very nasty things to say about MFT.

Edge is a good car, but I would not get My Ford Touch, or wait until you see feedback on the whenever to be released complete rewrite. I haven't checked, but I believe Explorer is about the same cost and same mileage but more room. Also for whatever it is worth, Edge sales are down year to date over last year, only by about 1%, Explorer sales are up about 20%.

I could not care where the temp display is or even if I have one. I just want the system to work. It's like the old joke of hanging a string outside of your window. If it is wet it is raining, if it has ice on it it is cold, if it is moving it is windy.

I chuckled when I saw "My daughter's MFT in her 2012 Focus works flawlessly except for 2 lockups requiring a fuse pull right after she got it 2 months ago. And she's a "real" person. " "Except for 2 lockups in 2 months"???? "Requiring a fuse pull"? There should be none. My wife has an 11 Equinox with voice control and touch screen and has not had one lockup. I have an 11 Edge and have regular problems, and it is not because I do not wait long enough after car start or I do no know how to use the system. I also refuse to consider pulling the fuse or disconnecting the battery as a solution. I am patient and I will just wait and see. I appreciate Ford doing the Beta testing, but if it does not resolve problems for basically all owners, I think they are in for some big problems, operationally and PR.

I realize that the purpose of you using it is for testing, but I don't consider your experience too valid unless you are also using navigation. Everyone testing it needs to be using phone, nav and mp3 player, voice and touch commands, A LOT! I would guess that with 1000 people Ford is getting a good distribution of devices, but I hope they are documenting model of phones that are being used, type of mp3 player and length/duration of destination/route.

This doesn't belong in this thread so this will be my last comment about it here, but whatever written document you are offered and agree to sign dictates the terms, and you should rethink your doubt.

Netizen, your profile says you are in the midwest. I am in St. Louis. All I can say is I have not contacted an attorney, nor have I been offered a settlement. But from what I hear, don't people have to keep quiet about it? Aren't there are unreasonable aspects to the settlement offer? Maybe we should talk.

I heard from my lawyer yesterday. Ford made me an acceptable offer for my 11 Edge because of MFT problems. I'll give you details when I get the paperwork. I keep the car, basically receive a big, big, big rebate 14 months after I bought it.

Wooo hoo! My lawyer called me today and Ford made me an acceptable offer for my Edge. Bought it in October of 2010 and have had 4 software updates and the APIM module replaced. Still problems with 2.11. It's basically a big, big, big rebate and I keep the car. I'll provide more details when I see the paperwork.

I have found using voice-services works much, much better than trying to do it directly through nav

Do a master software reset through the touch screen, that fixed a lot of my problems. Also, to do an occasional reboot, instead of pulling a fuse or disconnecting the battery, somewhere on this site there is a delayed reboot program. You put it on a thumb drive, connect it in your car and it loads in about 10 seconds. The next time you start the car you get the "Sync performing system maintenance" reboot.

I had an 05 Escape that I sold when I got my 11 Edge. I had 0 problems in 120k miles with my Escape 3.0 L V6. it was a very good vehicle. I thought the interior was fine and some of the text started wearing off f few buttons, but what do you expect after 6 years. My SEL Edge gets slightly better mileage which I like since it is a bigger engine. It is a nicer vehicle, my only problem has been MFT, but I got the ESP which covers it, so I am not worried for 6 years 100k miles. I just want it to work right. There will not be a hybrid version of the new Escape and it will have MFT. No 6 cylinder either, but I believe it will have the 4 ecoboost.

I don't know all of the options you have, but I would not get it if it has My Ford Touch until the new release and you can see all of the problems have been worked out.. Or, if you really want the car, ask for more of a discount because of the uncertainty of My Ford Touch

I just spoke to MFT tech support and they said the new software on USB probably won't be in January but should be in first quarter.

I am in Missouri and I have already received one offer from Ford (too low) for my 11 Edge for MFT. The primary thing my lawyer has said is that Ford rarely buys vehicles back. They give you money, you keep the car, but they still must honor the warranty and it does not go on the record as being defined as a lemon. I am supposed to receive another offer this week and hopefully the situation will be resolved.
