  1. As stated on the invoice, "The cat broke up and damaged the down stream converter, Replaced both converters." The dealer replaced the catalytic converters. Again, it was covered under the warranty, no charge. It just took two weeks to get it back. The parts needed to be ordered in. So far , so good.
  2. I returned my edge back to the dealer tonight. The car ran fine until the check engine light came on yesterday. The code is P0420. I don't know what the code really means. I was told the catalytic converter would be affected by the coil problem. I'll know more tomorrow after they look at it.
  3. I picked up my 2008 Edge this morning from the dealer. It was in for a week. They replaced all 6 coil packs, 6 spark plugs and the pcm, plus the three gaskets and another key. They referenced the TSB dated 11-8-2. My cost was $0.00. I had 79,545 miles on it when I scanned the codes PO300, PO301, PO302, PO351, PO352, PO354 set the check engine light 2 weeks ago. I brought it to the dealer to diagnose it. They called me yesterday and told me it was all done and there was no charge. The only complaint I have is the lack off communication. When calling the dealer It is all automated and you get transferred to voice mails. I had to call twice during the week to check on the status. The first time I was connected to the advisor and the second time I left a voice mail which he returned the next day to tell me it was ready. When I picked it up today, the LOT GUY helped me. Told me the cashier had the keys. I never spoke to an advisor. I did check the car. I can see four new coil packs and I had to replace the wiring harness back into the valve cover. I was anticipating a fight. Other than the complaints I had, they did know of the problem and told me it is also happens to the Escape. They said the spark plugs create a resistance that over loads the coil packs, in turn, damages the PCM driver. Quite the opposite from the earlier posts.
  4. The attorney is affordable.I can't have the car not work. I'm capable of fixing it myself. That will save me money. I'll have to tow the car there. They have to diagnose it for $95an hour. I'll only pay for an hour. Then I'll see what they say. I may have to tow it home. And back to flash the pcm. It doesn't make sense to not cover this problem. Cars these days don't work without a computer. They can't expect a consumer to spend $30,000 for a car then spend thousands to fix a computer problem
  5. Thanks for the story. I have to get the car to the dealer today. This will help to back up the problem. I know someone at a different dealership as well. He is a fleet manager. I haven't talked to him in a while so I am reluctant to call him. I want to take it to the dealer that i bought it from and have had the car serviced. If i get any bull I'll call. Unlike some, I don't have the money to fix it then fight it. My dealer said the coils are not covered and a car was in with 66,000 miles and was not covered and cost $5800 to fix. It belonged to a friend of the service advisor, Must be bull. Also said the cat will have to be replaced.
  6. I have a 2008 Ford Edge. Codes 301,300,302,351,352,and 354 Came on today without warning. Looks like I'm calling the Ford dealer. I've have 79,545 miles. Hopefully its covered
  7. I have a 2008 edge. The door window suddenly drops down. Second time since I have owned it. Dealer fixed it the first time. Now I want to see if I can do it to save some money. The window probably has become disconnected with the regulator. Anyone come across this problem?
