  1. 2011 Limited. P0456 came up a few days again after replacing with a Motorcraft valve (you can imagine the first word out of my mouth). Low cost and did it myself, so I'm OK with that. Would probably fail eventually. My thinking is now I'm not so lucky as it could be the canister, a more expensive and complex repair. I will note that between the valve replacement and the return of the code, some gas was spilled while using a 5 gallon container and might have gotten into the EVAP system. If gas is in the EVAP system, will it eventually evaporate? Any other thoughts.
  2. From WWWPerfA_ZN0W, but posted to his board as this thread is old... Regarding "Just curious, any of you all top off the tank after shutoff? These systems get more sensitive to that year by year, and apparently some of the "overage" (i.e., raw fuel) can spill into the EVAP system." I had a slight gas smell in the garage with a P0456 code before I did something stupid. I replaced the valve and cleared the code. Then I had a 5 gallon gas can (fresh gas) that was not needed, so I poured it into the tank, some spilled (stupid). P0456 came back a few days later. If some went into the EVAP system tripping the P0456 again, will the gas evaporate on its own, eventually?
  3. From a post you made a number of years ago:

  4. I'm getting a brake rattle noise, but only the first few times the brakes are applied after the car sits for a while. I would think that if something were loose, that I would always hear it. Any ideas before a waste a day at the dealership?
  5. The street isn't missing, it's just that the Touch software can't find it. Once I entered that latitude/longitude as wellas synced from Google Maps, the address was found and the street is clearly in the map database. Here's the address and coordinates if you want to try: 2729 Bison Ranch Trl, Heber-Overgaard, AZ N 34.39, W 110.53 or N 34D, 23M, 27S, W 110D, 31M, 35S
  6. Telenav is issuing a trouble ticket and I'm expect a call back.
  7. Yup... my bad on NAVTEQ. I'll ask Telenav as well. And my software is all up to date. And the spelling was all the same.
  8. This morning I entered the location's Lat/Long and it showed up, right where it should, on the street which was named. The fact that I couldn't find this name while trying to enter street address is more than annoying. I've emailed NAVTEQ (the company that provides the map SD card) to see what they know.
  9. Do you mean the SD card (if so how...online or through the dealer) or the nav software/firmware within the Sync system?
  10. I tried to get directions for a trip, and the street isn't in the Nav system. I've confirmed with both Google Maps and MapQuest. I've "sent" the Google Maps directions to the car via Sync (I'll try that tomorrow), but I was under the impression that Google doesn't actually send the directions, just the address (which it won't recognize). I suppose I could get Long/Lat from Google Maps and use that, but has anyone else had this issue?
  11. I sat down and made my own cover (basically a sandal from the looks of it). Hard plastic with soft rubber on the transmitter side.
  12. I'm sure it's not by itself, but this has happened three times in six weeks and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced it. I've come out of a store and found my liftgate open. I keep the transmitter in my pocket with my cell and just find it hard to believe that the cell is hitting the liftgate button twice within three seconds and I'm close enough to the car. I'm going to isoltae the transmitter with nothing else in my pocket, but it just seems strange.
  13. Thanks everyone. I've had FWD before, but that and the transverse engine gave it a pull harder than I was used to.

  15. So a pull to the right when accelerating is normal? Geez, sounds like something dangerous as mine does this. Hard acceleration and it really wants to go right.
  16. Brand new vehicle. Noticed that when accelerating (whether from stop or while moving) car pulls to the right. The harder the acceleration, the harder the pull. Dealer says that's normal and said they test drove another Edge to verify. Said they all do it. I'm wondering the first time someone aceelrates into another car how fast a recall would come. I always thought that a car should go straight when accelerating, coasting and stopping. Can any of you try an acceleration test and see if the vehicle pulls right. (I've also posted in Transaxel-FWD)

  18. Can someone see if they get the same results as I do. In Navigation, Destination, POI, Auto Dealers, All Dealers: In All Dealers I still only get FLM. Can anyone confirm? Other dealers are in their (found it using Auto Repair).
  19. I'm running Sync 2.7 with a paired Treo 755p (yes, I know, very antiquated phone, but works well). Phone connects quickly and works as well with Sync as it does with my home luetooth network. When the phonebook transferred, it only took about 20 or so of my phone's entries (I have many more). And the entries transferred are randon (not in alpha or any other order). Is there a phonebook size limit that anyone knows of? Hs anyone else seen this problem?
  20. I'll ask this on the Ford Sync forum as well, but has anyone had any luck adding wallpaper images? I've tried all the approved file type and in the exact size recommended (and others--smaller and larger). I get an error message saying the image is not formatted properly. I'm using USB to load (USB works fine as it sees the files--and plays music).
  21. Just a question for other owners. When navigating to a destination, if you make your turn, does the system then automatically say something like "drive for 2 miles" or not? I ask because the main dashboard navigation says "OK to repeat" but it never said it the first time.
  22. Got my beauty on Saturday. After some MyTouch glitches (a reset helped--and if you want to sync a Palm Treo, but your phone in temporarily visable and let Sync find it, not the other way around). One odd thing that happened once... after setting my destination, the radio came on. While this appears liek a glitch, the sound system probably needs to be on for voice directions. Gotta say, Microsoft didn't make this the best system in the world.
