I get the same thing once in a while with my 11 SEL. I just turn the key back on and off and it goes away. Not sure what's going on but it does't happen very often.

A lot depends on driving habits and city vs highway mileage. I just hit 60,000 on my original 245/60/18 Michelin Latitudes and still have decent tread on them. Buddy has the exact same tire and they are bald at 35,000.

I agree. If you're getting up there in cost with a loaded Edge Sport it's definitely worth looking at the MKX. Just drove a new MKX the other day and it's really really nice. I had to turn in my 2013 MKX a few months ago and am now back to driving my 2011 Edge. I miss the Lincoln.

Personally I've never been able to get myself to purchase a foreign vehicle even if it is built in America. I like the idea of the sales profits going to an American company.

Thanks! Gonna get her done in the next few weeks.

I was kinda surprised at this also. I wonder what the reason is?

Gonna do a quick trans drain and refill on the 2011 soon. Anyone know how many quarts will come out when I pull the plug? Will the plug be pretty obvious when I crawl under there?

I've driven Fords my whole life and I will say that the 11 and up Edge/MKX is probably the most solid vehicle Ford has produced. My 2003 F150 is a close second. I never had any major problems with all my Explorers, Broncos, Taurus's and Mustangs but they always turned into rattle-traps around 50,000 miles. I've got 60,000 on my 11 SEL and she still feels new.

I think the 2011-14 Edges have proven themselves to be pretty durable so you should have good luck with it. I really like the look of the white Sport!!!!

The rear wiper on my 11 was shot so I ran up and grabbed a RainX R14D. It fit but didn't sit flush with the rest of the wiper arm like the factory blade did. The factory blade has a raised curve on it to make everything look flush. I had a few old blades laying around so I decided to try and just change out the rubber on the factory blade. I cut the rubber to the proper length, inserted the original metal strips and slid it into the factory blade. Worked perfect!!!! I just need to go find a new blade with the proper width rubber to replace the used rubber I just installed. Moral of the story, Don't throw out your original factory blade!!!!! Just to add to this post, the Trico View and the Trico Exact Fit have the right size rubber. I just purchased a 26 incher for $5.00 and cut the rubber to the proper length.

Never heard of an alignment being a must after a simple tire replacement. Have I been doing it wrong for the last 50 years???

I'm guessing hids in the halogen reflector housings of 2010 and below Edge's produce a terrible beam pattern. What you could do in your 2008 is put H-9's in place of the H-11 low beams. It makes a huge difference so ya gotta make sure to aim them properly. Any good brand will work and be trouble free. I think ya end up going from 1350 to 2150 lumens. She'll love ya for it!!!!!! You have to do a little tab trimming to the H-9 sockets but it's really easy.

Once you get them clean, I would hit them with a quick coat of 303 Fabric Guard. Stuff is amazing and has saved my seats 3 or 4 times from disaster. I sprayed my seats 3 years ago and it's still protecting them!!!!! Can't believe I used Scotch Guard all those years but I didn't know any better.

Friend has a 2012 SEL that does the exact same thing. He purchased it with 24,000 miles on it and I was surprised the tires were so worn. Been to the dealership three times and even took it to some tire place. Dealership put two new tires on the back but the noise is still there to this day. Car now has 52,000 on it and drives perfect and he just lives with the noise. I keep telling him to get it back to the dealership before his extended warranty runs out.

If you can wait, Discount Tire Direct runs some great deals a few times each year. I picked my Yk's up for $264.00 shipped to my door after all the rebates. I kinda jumped the gun because of the great deal and mine have been sitting in the basement for almost a year now but I gotta put them on before winter.

Any updates of how these are working out for you? Are ya happy with the output and beam pattern?????

Seems like ya did it right and it should hold up pretty good. I might have to do the same thing to my 2011 chrome grill eventually cuz it's getting really chipped up. I'll probably try to match the body color if I do mine.

I would try replacing the front speakers first and see what you think. Funny thing is, the basic speakers in the 2010 and below Edges are way better then the ones in the 2011 and up.

What's the setup in the new Edge? Separate highs and lows? If so, are they both halogen projectors? Looking at pics online it almost looks like Ford is using a projector for the lows and a reflector for the highs.

Pretty cool Mac!!!!!! Gonna be fun watching you hit 300,000 miles!!!!

Tough call but I like the power and proven reliability of the 3.5. These days I would be tempted to go for the best MPG but I'm not sure if the 2.0 does that much better then the 3.5.

I think they brought the wrong Edge to this party. Seems like a Titanium would have been a better comparison.

Like others have said, make sure it's done by solid company. If they don't prime and seal the exposed metal properly, it won't take long for the roof line to start rusting.

I sealed my relays with silicone and ziptied them next to the battery out of sight. Been a solid setup for just over 3 years in Michigan's salt belt.

So is this a design flaw or a problem on the assembly line? I was thinking these leaky Edges were just missing a bead of body caulk but it sounds like it could be more then that.
