  1. I had a problem with the power lift gate not closing completely, some of the time. 2012 Edge, 4 cyclinder with Ecoboost. I read on this forum about a software upgrade. Our dealer installed this upgrade and there have been no poblems with the lift gate closing completely ever since.
  2. We have a 2012 Edge, 4 cycliner, with Ecoboost, purchased in November 2011, Current mileage, 9,800. Initially, we could not seem to compeletely fill the gas tank. Although the fuel gauage would show full at the gas pump, less then 30 miles of driving would have the fuel level down to 3/4 of a tank. Our local dealer first replaced the gas tank, which did not correct the condition. The dealer then replaced the fuel sending unit which has corrected the problem. On one fill up during a 3,200 mile trip, I was able to add 15.3 gallons to a 18.x gallon tank. This was when the miles to empty display showed between 80 and 100 miles. Overall, In about 20 fill ups of the tank, we have been successful in getting the tank full and having the fuel guage show full for a considerable distance, as expected. I follow the owner's manual instructions to stop filling with the second automatic pump shut off click. I believe the only variable for how much gas is put into the tank is the sensitivity of the pump automatic shutoff and the style of the gas pump supply nozzle.
  3. Yes, were are satisfied with our 2012 Edge (4 cyclinder with Ecoboost), leather seats . We purchased it new in November 2011. From May 15 to May 24, we made a 10 day, 3,000 mile trip, starting in Kansas City, following Interstate 40 to Las Vegas, Nevada, then into Utah and Colorado for sightseeing. Our Edge performed very well during this trip and was always confortable to be driving, We made many stops to take pictures in scenic areas and it was very easy to get in and out of the Edge, Loading our several bags of luggage and a large cooler was easily with the rear hatch that swings up. I kept track of our overall gas mileage for the entire trip, revising the calculation after each fill-up. The average of the miles per gallon for 3,000 miles was 25.98. I am satisfied with this as we traveled over both flat level roads and through the mountains at elevations up to 10,000 feet. We have found the best speed to acheive good fuel economy is 68 miles per hour. At times during the trip, on level roads, with the wind behind the Edge, the "instant fuel economy" display read as high as 32 miles per gallon. Today, we returned from a weekend trip to visit family in Southwest Missouri, we traveled a 167 mile route on route 69 in Eastern Kansas, with rolling hills and level roads. We filled up early this morning, the instant fuel economy display for the entire trip, traveling at 68 mph, read 29.1 to 29.9. Be aware, the actual miles per gallon on a tank of gas will vary from this for a number of reasons as explained in the owner's manual. We had two concerns initially with our Edge. One was that we could not seem to compeletely fill the gas tank. Although the fuel gauage would show full at the gas pump, less then 30 miles of driving would have the fuel level down to 3/4 of a tank. Our local dealer first replaced the gas tank, which did not correct the condition. The dealer then replaced the fuel sending unit which has corrected the problem. On one fill up during our long trip, I was able to add 15.3 gallons to a 18.x gallon tank. This was when the miles to empty display showed between 80 and 100 miles. The second, more minor concern was that the rear hatch would not latch, all the time, when pushing the key fob, the dash button, or the button inside the rear of the Edge. The hatch would come down, attempt to latch, and go back up. I read on this forum about a software upgrade, which was then installed by the dealer. This software upgrade resolved the problem and the latch has been completed suceessfully, without any faults, many times. A very minor concern is the size and style of the coat hooks inside the rear passenger doors. Because we like to have some amount of hanging clothes on long trips, we stretch a clothes rod between the two coat hooks. The design of the coat hooks did not make it easy to attach our clothes rod. I ended up using two zip ties at each end of the clothes rod to securly hold the rod to the clothes hooks. This is not the best solution. If anyone has a better idea, let me know. We have fairly well learned the in and outs of using MyFord Touch including the navigation feature. Overall, we have not had issues with any of the electronic displays in the Edge.
  4. I have a 2012 Ford Edge limited with EcoBoost. We are not able to get a consistent filling of the gas tank. If the fuel gauge shows full, it will quickly drop off of full with just a few miles of driving. A dealer has replaced the fuel tank but with little improvement. I was able to get the gauge to register full for a longer period of time but only after I continued to top off the tank multiple times. I added so much fuel that gas was coming out of a relief valve that exists for this reason. Yes, it is frustrating.

      we have not been successful in getting our fuel gauge to show a full tank for any length of time. When filling the tank, the gas nozzle clicks off but the fuel gauge does not show a full tank or the gauge drops off the full mark with only a few miles of driving. A dealer has replaced the fuel tank with little improvement. The only time I have been able to get the fuel gauge to register full for a lengthy period of time is when I continued to add fuel multiple times after the nozzle first c...
