  1. F.Y.I. I have a 2008 with the factory 20"s and they pack snow in the rims quite bad causing severe vibrations due to the imbalance of the wheel. I had 20" Harley Davidsons on my Expo and they too were horrible for that. If you are running in "deep" snow i would rrecommend going to 18 or 17 inch rims if they clear the caliper. I will be making that change before winter this year. Love the look of those 22"'s on the Sport by the way!
  2. my mirrors would move a little bit at a time when trying to adjust by memory or manually, not smooth and continuous like normal, dealer replace both mirror motors, all is good now
  3. Was just in the dealership looking at the 2010 Fusion and the Sport model with the same 3.5 and six speed as our edge, has a "select shift" shifter. Has an option to manually shift Is this something that could be done to our Edge's with software update, shifter and some wiring? Could be a great mod I know there are some people on this site that really wanted more ontrol over there transmission Any thoughts?
  4. Thats a winter avg for me, usually -20 celsius here in Canada the last few months AWD plus i'm bad for letting it idle Summers I get mid 20's mpg Its funny how the " old ones" are getting decent milage compared to some of the new products out there. Not to mention the new diesels, i feel sorry for those guys
  5. Hey everybody, Has anyone else experienced this? Every once in a while, completely random I turn the key and it cranks and cranks on the "auto start" until it times out without even a cough. I cycle the key, and it starts up mint. Pretty embarising with people in the car. Love this thing but this is one of those issues that the the dealer has never been able to replicate, also , again very rare but i have a nasty thunk if i hit the gas on a rolling start, like its confused when downshifting to 1st. Just wondering if anyone else out there has had similar problems And i f i keep my foot out of it i average about 18mpg Thanks
  6. Hi Guys, Just started having problems with sync. It has worked perfectly for over a month now. Then the sync "voice" started "breaking up" like a bad cell phone ,also it will no longer connect to my cell phone, which it always has. I have misplaced my manual and the web site for sync has no info. Is there a way to Reboot sync? Any help will be greatly appreciated P.s. I do not think it is my pnone because it will connect to other devices via bluetooth.
  7. Definately! Just remeber though, you won't be getting any numbers to brag about until the temperature warms up. How you drive has more to do with fuel economy than any other factor
  8. Mine also Honks when pushing lock twice, Check the settings in the menu on the dash display, I think thats were it is.
  9. Well, I do alot of Highway driving for business and just returned from Regina and area, in those -20 temps we had early this week and I can say my milage has really improved since new, I have about 5,000km on it now and I averaged over 22mpg ( 10.5L/100km ) on the whole trip, I was very pleased considering it never shut off during the day and it included alot of city as well. Much betterthen when I first got it, when I was getting around 13mpg ( 18L / 100lm ). It really depends on how you drive it. I saw a trick on the forum that if you can keep the rpm under 2000 at all times it gives you great milage. Kinda hard though it makes you drive like a granny. Good Luck!
  10. It's just so much more fun than my old Expedition. Don't get me wrong I loved the old truck for busting drifts but this Edge is way nicer on slippery streets, none of the clunking that the " A4WD" in the Expo provided. Enjoy
  11. I have been a member for a while, but never posted yet. Just have to say I love this thing! We finally got some snow here in Winnipeg Cananda and with the traction control off, this thing is so much fun on the back roads. Like a slow motion rally car. With the system engaged very sure footed and composed. Beautiful vehicle. Post your thoughts.
