So my Edge Sport is back in the shop for a second time to get the MFT fixed! MFT worked fined prior to the updated flash stick that they sent me. Now my real-time traffic, weather, and bluetooth phone is not working. Every now and then the NAV will not work with a message that reads insert card. Also mysteriously, the audio adjustment screen will appear randomly (e.g., bass, fade...). Ford has reset MFT last time and they said that I am the only one with this problem. Humm what is the luck that my MFT is screwed up? Besides, I like my old MFT before the update because it worked fine and the graphics looked cooler. Thanks FORD!

I'm another that doesn't like the new system. It looks blocky and cheesier! So I will check for the new outside temp. Also my real time traffic doesn't work. Is there any way to fix this? I want my old system back. I have the 2011 Sport. Plus the screen mysteriously switches on its own.

Thanks c_bova if you can take a photo.

Thanks Sam for the update. Yeah like you, I never noticed it at first until I was walking up to my car and got closer at the angle of approach it is so obvious! I had to get mine replaced so now it looks normal. They had to order new headliner and of course the first one came to Ford damaged and then they re-ordered it. I think that is why they switched their slogan, "Quailty is Job One"..........I'm sure the overpaid union worker inspector wonders why he got laid off and then is crying that he doesn't have a job while collecting unemployment sapping the economy. I'm sure he or she is blaming FORD for not having a job. I just don't get it and people think it is their right to have a job because of their Union and they should be paid $45 an hour to inspect a vehicle or sweep a floor or push a button at the Ford plant along with weeks of vacation a year entitled to them. All of this to sell a product at $43K which they want to keep costs down by not having HID headlights and homelink. I don't get it. Okay, I was ranting again...Sorry but I am just saying!

I reason why I got the Sport was because: 1. This is a company car and I could only get a Ford since that is who we have a contract with. 2. Wanted a SUV but the Explorer is too big. 3. Edge looks cool but I got the Sport because I hate the chrome grille! 4. Plus the blacked out Sport looks better with all the other options but I just don't care for the 22's (Actually my 18" winter wheel and tire package make the Blk Sport look aggressive). 5. After owning the "high" end brands, Ford still needs to get their act together!

@cjohns28, I almost thought about the Lincoln but never drove one. I never cared for all the chrome but I do like the lux features. The main reason, I got the Sport is because it didn't have all the cheap plastic Chrome. I do like the look of the 22s but I wish they were lighter 20s. I have 18s snow tires on now and I think they are better than the 22s. Too bad they took the Sport out of the Edge Sport.

@cjohns28.. I was referring to the Bling of the 22" more so than the Edge Sport. Anyway, I have owned most every Lux Veh Brand, Lexus, Benz, BMW, Audi, Acura, Infiniti..etc..If you read my earlier niggles, I was disappointed more so in the quaility of the Ford. Come on, how does my headliner with the gap even pass inspection to make it out of the assembly line? Never had any of these cosmetic issues with my Lux Brands! And regarding how the Ford looks...Yeah, if you think about it Ford and GM always trys to come out with the newest look but after a few years it looks old; unlike an older Benz that still has the timeless classy look. Don't get me wrong, I do like my Edge but I am just dissapointed in what it could have been especially at the price point of $43K. I like the tech features when they work. My veh is a 3 year lease and I probably won't own another one. I will switch back to my Lux brands.

I would disagree with you because Ford should be focusing back on performance (SVT) and I think they have with the Mustang. Anyway and real "Hitter" that wants bling would have opt for the X6 or X5 or Cayenne or G550. Only "FAKE Hitters" would want stock 22s for bling!

After having my 18" winters on my 2011 Edge Sport AWD, I am convinced that some idiot at FORD pressured someone into these stupid 22". I know the 22" look good on paper but they are very heavy and impractical tires which take the "SPORT" out of the Edge Sport! They should have had light weight 20" on instead. My acceleration with the 18s is much improved plus the handling is the same. Just out of feel, I know the 18s would be faster on a slalom course. The 22s just feel heavy in the steering. I just don't get it? After sport tuned suspension, great sport looks, why not go all the way and look at the numbers on paper for performance? Who cares about these stupid worthless paddel shifters! It's not like I bought a Ferrari F1. Take the money spent on the paddle shifters and give me HID option. Again, so much potential but someone killed the word SPORT in the Edge!

I did notice that my Edge Sport AWD is faster since I have taken off the heavy 22"s. I have 18" Bizzaks on now and the handling seems the same and my ride is better even though they are snow tires. I wish they just stuck with 20s instead. What I hate is that this SUV had so much potential but some knuckle head made the decision to stop make this SUV great! Yes, why not put the 3.5 ecoboost? Why cut the corners on the cost regarding HID headlights? Homelink? etc...as options? This will be my LAST Ford.... A shout out to those who tricked out their performance>> What is your new 0-60 times?

I just tried this the other day. Yes the governer kicks in at 110 mph. What is the point of a 140 Speedo when the vehicle only does 110? How am I suppose to out run the Po-Po if the crown vics can go up to 120-130?

So I just got my Blizzaks along with new rims installed from Discount Tire on my Edge Sport AWD today. I can hardly wait for a good snow fall to try them out. I did notice that my Edge Sport AWD has better acceleration due to the tire sized and weight (Stock 22" are heavy). Just guessing, but I bet my 0-60 time is more like 7 seconds flat now. It actually squawks the tires on take off. Handling seems the same. These tires look mean and cool with the rims. I almost think they look better than the stock 22"s. I did notice a vibration in the steering wheel and I have to bring it back to get it checked out. I asked about the Hub Centric rings and they told me that I didn't need it. I got the P245/60R/18 Blizzak DM-V1 and MB Wheels Alpina rims. What do you guys think? Mike~
