Ford Roadside Assistance is now picking up and flat bedding my 2011 Sport since the "nightlight" unintended feature drained the battery. unfortunately, theyre already 2+ hours late....:angry:

Is it just me or does that residual seem really high? I leased (for the first time ever) thru the xplan for my 2008 limited. I found no cost savings overall after inception fees and so on. About the only advantage I found was that when the Revamped 11's came out, I didn't have to sell anything. All we had to do was make the decision to either buy out our lease Or leave it behind for the new one. We decided to purchase our 2011, especially when Bank of America gave us 2% interest. If you like always having the newest vehicles, don't want to deal with the costly repairs (after 36k miles, tires, Brakes, antifreeze flushes) then leasing is probably a great option for you. That is, as long as you stay within your miles.

I think its just a glitch that happens every now and again. If you lock the car after driving and shutting off the engine, then immediately unlock the door (maybe Because you forgot something ) then the screens light up again. Sometimes after relocking the doors a second time the screens never shut down. It doesn't happen everytime, but its happened a few...and this time it bit me.

Download the Microsoft barcode scanner app. And usually you use your phones camera to scan the tag

I think the problem is if you lock your doors and then returned your vehicle the screens light up regardless of whether you relock your doors. I always lock my doors no matter where I park and I've had the screen stay lit in the parking lot of my workplace. This time unfortunately I wasn't able to catch it before it drained my battery. The screens may have remained on for 12+ hours or however long it took to kill the battery.

Nope. Battery voltage is 4.9 volts. Typically when a battery drains below 6.0 it's irreparabley damaged. I put a charger on it 3.5 hours ago and there's been no change. I'm sure I could jump Not, but it'll be dead again at my destination when the vehicle is shut off.....

Ok. I'm an idiot too, that's not how I received mine, and not how I kept it. Lol mine is straight up and down against the back. Lol. I like this setup better. Is this how it was designed to be? Makes sense of the mushroom top knobs.

Wondering if the dealer will tell me its not their problem, or if they'll replace the battery and acknowledge that the mytouch isn't functioning correctly

Bummed! I went out to the Edge this morning and the battery was dead. As I'm setting up the charger to try and salvage it my neighbor tells me when he got home he saw my interior glowing. Asked if I left my interior lights on? So apparently my nightlight fordtouch went all night till the battery gave up. What surprised me most was that there's no battery saver technology built in. Just so bummed out right now.

You make a valid point about carrying eggs there. I have mine hooked to the rear most hooks and it does in fact contact the door.

Nobody interested? If anyone in Canada would like to take a picture of their large fuse box in a 2011 sport than I can compare it to ours.

My friends wife just bought a brand new srx, so when we got together for dinner recently we both swapped vehicles and took them out for test drives. As much as I like the styling of the cadillac, I really love my Sport and wouldn't give it up for any other suv. My wife completely agreed that she liked ours better, and despite what she said after driving the sport, my buddy told me at work the next day that if they had seen the edge sport earlier they probably wouldve bought that as well. The positive feedback I get just solidifies my choice

I love hearing about peoples excitement when they get their new edge. There is a bit of a learning curve to the new electronics, but it also seems to get a little more intuitive every drive you take. Best of luck with your new edge sport I know you're going to love it.

Just ordered the Gorilla acorns from Amazon. $43, but if you get the Amazon credit card, they knock $30 off the price. I got the card, theyll apply the refund to my card and after a few months Ill shred the card and cancel the account. Cant beat these locks for $13.

I actually drove them back to back and it wasnt much difference at all. BUT, we need at least one AWD vehicle in the household since I NEED to get to work no matter the weather. I may only need the AWD once or twice a winter but the trade off for MPGs was minimal enough that I could justify it. Youll be happy with the FWD Sport in SoCal

I have also noticed that the hood appears slightly off as well--it appears about 1/8 inch lower at the sides. Not sure if that's by design or not. My 2011 Sport has a dropped hood on the driver side. The passenger side is flush with the fender. The gaps are perfect as far as alignment from the fenders but the height is not right.

I decided to remove my front license plate holder for looks. The rivets used to hold it on pop off with a 7/32" drill. You can find a website called bumperplugs.com which sells all colors of matched plugs for license plate holes. I also posted the Ford part number for the replacement bar, 8200e around $171 for chrome, $115 for paint to match.

Im 6 foot 1 and I'm having no trouble in the edge. We just picked up a 2011 sport ourselves. Although I do miss the pull on the door handle I tend to keep those things that I would store in there in the center console now. As far as the shelf that was in front of the shifter, if you have a sport you should have a shelf hidden behind your sony media center. I think this new shelf is even better because it discreetly covers anything that you'd like to lay there. You should check or have your dealer check to make sure that your seat is able to lower itself all the way down to its lowest seating position. When my seat is down I have plenty of headroom.

I hope that people start developing apps that betterand easier to use. Variety will make everybody step up their game and develop good apps. Id like an easy app that uses my gps location and finds businesses and services. I know that the sync services works this way, I just want an app that works really well and has a simple to understand user interface. Less user initiated steps and more results. I wonder if developers will be interested enough to get a market going like the android market or the iphone market? How about an app that takes the user entered information and dumps it directly into fuely.com so we can all compare gas mileage?

^ I agree. I think the smartest option for Ford would have been to beef up the front end and trans components, and offer a true Sport version or Edge SHO with the 3.5 EcoBoost, paddles, and hell make it AWD only to handle the output. I wouldve paid for a 360HP monster in the same dress as my 2011 Sport.

I think I might of ruined some sales this past weekend at our local toyota dealership. I parked our brand new white ford edge sport in front of the front doors of the dealership while we walked in to look at the highlander for my wife. With my dealer plates still attached people walked around my truck in the parking lot before and after walking into the dealership. When one of the salesman made a smart remark about my ford edge I offered to take him for a test ride that would blow him away. He declined, saying he's not interested. I made sure to tell him that he should be very interested in the competition because the competition is very strong, and that I wouldn't trade my edge for any other SUV. I guess we'll have to find a new toyota dealership now.

WOW!!! The haters can say what ever they want that looks great! If you have a disposable income to spend more power to ya!!!!
