  1. (Disclaimer: I have no idea how to describe this, but it annoy's me to no end!)

     

    I have an 07 Edge that I love everything about... EXCEPT this:

    Does anyone know why when you spray wiper solution on the windshield the wipers use the following pattern to clean:

    Clean/Wipe 3 times continuously...

    5 second delay then cleans/wipes 1 additional time

     

    Can this be changed? It would be perfect if it just stopped after the initial cleaning. The last one is totally unnecessary and does nothing but cause annoying streaks always in my line of vision!

     

    Please help!

    Thanks.

  2. Don't know if this is what you are all talking about, but are just at 2k miles on our Edge, and today for the first time, wife was driving and felt a "kick" either between 1-2 or 2-3 shift. It almost felt as if you lifted right as the tranny was shifting. It was just a hard shift.

     

    Might be the same thing, but I don't even have 1k on mine yet but when it is "shifting" the Edge "pauses" for a second or so. I hit the gas and it just does nothing.

    It's getting on my nerves. Might have to take it in for the dredded "s" word. Ugh.

  3. Mine had a slight hesitation today between the 1-2 shift with the gas pedal floored. This is the first time I've ever noticed it. Is this the slip ya'll are talking about? I only have about 2k miles on it so far. I don't know if its normal or not.

    Yep... That's what I'm talking about. It is really annoying! My old 165hp GrandAm is faster than this 260+ hp, $30k+ auto that I just got and its driving me nuts!

    If someone hears something please let me know. I really don't want to take it to the dealer again, but if I have to I will...

  4. I bought them both :confused: I really like the EDGE, and its really nice for laid back driving, it rides very softly, but I'm sport inclined so I would say that I love the CX-7, and would pick the CX-7 if I had to. Again they're not really in the same class, the CX-7 rides firm and sticks to the road, its also noisier, but you get really great midrange acceleration, Best brakes, excellent handling, and a nice interior that compliments the Standard setting exterior. And it feels like it has a lot more torque.

     

    I drove both and chose the Edge. The CX-7 had way too many blind spots in my opinion. That, and the Edge had way better incentives to purchase.

  5. Assuming these trannies operate like previous Ford trannies - they do not learn driving styles and will not behave differently with different drivers. What they will do is compare the time it takes to perform each shift (from gear, to gear, rpm, throttle position, etc.) and compare it to the factory spec and the computer will adjust the shift pressure to keep the times in spec. This will account for manufacturing differences and for wear over time. If you and your wife drive differently (more or less throttle, etc.) then it's possible that the learning is more or less complete for one of you. But that should even out over a few days or weeks.

     

    Again - that's how they've worked in the past on the Lincoln LS e.g. and I would assume the new ones do the same.

     

    I noticed that mine seems to slip between gears also. I feels kinda like a drag in between gears or something. Wasn't sure if I should take it in or not...

  6. Welcome! You purchased a fantastic vehicle with the absolute best color!

    (thought I would be just like jeffrey)

     

    Great wheels! I'll upgrade mine... one day! Gotta do something about the audio though. The Audiophile (sp) is ok, but the tone is really flat. I'm used to the Monsoon in my old Pontiac and the Edge sound system is not even close to it.

  7. Folks...I am a proud, new, owner of a Ford Edge SLE....I love it! The vehicle handles Great!!! :happy feet: I will add aftermarket parts to the vehicle :rockon: !!!!!! Way to roll as a Mom with two boys :shades: !!!

     

    Hi everyone! First Post!!

     

    Just purchased my Carbon SEL Plus Saturday and already looking for accessories :)

     

    I was browsing this site when searching for info on the Edge and it has already provided me with some great info. Noticed the info about the paint overrun and wouldn't you know it, mine had it too!

     

    Will post pics once I get it back from the dealer (fixing the paint). TTYL!
