Newbie (1/14)

  1. That's normal. I ordered a Limited and it said the same thing when I checked my VIN. It was a Limited when it showed up. They must not have internally changed the terminology.
  2. lol...I was told I couldn't take the head unit out. Bummer. Could have sold it on ebay
  3. Speaking of safety features, it is curious that not a single airbag went off. At any rate, I walked away without a scratch.
  4. Thanks for the support and comments, I believe everyone is okay (me the the semi driver). I think I'm still running on adrenaline. The Semi was in the middle lane and went into my lane (left lane) and beyond. Couldn't tell you why at this point. Not only did he merge into my lane, but also onto the shoulder. No warning at all. The shoulder is wide enough to drive on and let passengers in and out on both sides of the vehicle without interfering with traffic in the left lane. He pushed me into the concrete barrier. The bottom of the barrier is wider than the top, so I am speculating that my wheel caught the base and rode me up and over the barrier with applied pressure from his cab. The damage on the driver's side is much less severe than the passenger side. Few scratches, but my front driver side wheel shattered. It's my understanding the driver of the semi will be charged. I'm not sure that I have replacement coverage, but I'll let you know what happens. I managed to salvage my weather tech cargo mat, but couldn't get to the rest of the mats. lol.
  5. I waited longer for this car than I drove it. Bummer. Just thought I would share. It looks bad on the outside, but the inside held up pretty well.
  6. I am starting to notice this on my Edge too. Under a normal accelleration with RPM's at about 2000, there is a noise that occurs just under 40mph. It's brief and goes away above 40. I would describe it as a quiet howling noise. Like when you blow air into or over a pop bottle. It will get old quick. 2008 FWD Limited 2500 miles
  7. Wow...that better be excessive. There is no way I would pay for new tires that often. Are you peeling out every time you drive? You may need an alignment. :fan:
  8. Seems like a life safety concern. I'm not sure I would drive it anymore. Drop it off at the dealer ASAP. Heck, maybe they should tow it in for you. I like to err on the side of caution. I'm not sure what you have for a Lemon Law, but I would get that clock ticking right away. Maybe there is a "diagnostic" light show mode for QA purposes that wasn't deactivated. Who knows, but it shouldn't be your problem. Just be nice to the dealer. That's my 2 cents. ...and be sure to let us know how it goes.
  9. I like my Edge and there isn't anything I hate about it, but.... 1. I would like one touch close on the BAMR. 2. The sound system should be better, at least a graphic equalizer. Mere Bass and Treble controls just don't cut it for a "premium" audio system. Especially when they promote it with the SYNC system. My sound generally sounds muffled. 3. ....to be added later...pretty happy with the Edge.
  10. I would be skeptical. They may tell you that you have to qualify for every rebate to get $5,000 off. You could go in there and have it priced out just for fun. Nail down every cost up front. We had a dealer out hear who advertised "25% off New Fords". They had a pricing example: "MSRP-25%=Sell Price" I went in and they said they would not give me 25% off a New Ford Edge. They said the ad did not say "every" new Ford. On top of that, they said I had to qualify for a bunch of rebates to come close to (but not ever acheive) 25% off. I walked out. Thought about reporting them to the BB, but just moved on with life instead.
  11. Cool feature. I didn't see it in the Edge manual and I just tried it and it didn't work. Bummer.
  12. I've noticed something similar with my USB stick. It only happens when I unplug it and plug it back in. It's like it didn't make a good connection or something. It happened when I did the Sync version checker. I had to unplug the stick and plug it back in again. However, once it is recognized and left in, it always defaults to USB
  13. It's the Bionic Edge! As previously driven by Lee Majors. They have the technology. They can rebuild it. ....na-na-na-na. (I know it isn't funny that your Edge is having so many problems. It's just a crazy that they are going through all these motions with you.)
  14. Mine does not have this strip either. Kind of surprising. One of my friends pointed it out.
