Chummy

It wound up being a speed sensor, the cost roughly $68 for diagnostics, $37 for the part, all covered by warranty. Our dealer also provided us with a loaner at no cost to us while our Edge was in the shop. Hope you enjoy a similar experience, Paul!

In the last week or two, the warning lamps for ABS & Traction Control have been lighting on our 2007 Edge SEL equipped with AWD. It's the snow season in these parts, and the timing is tough. Stepping on the brake pedal when starting I've noticed it will now often feel as if stepping on a brick, not the otherwise more typical controlled give. The lamps will fire normally during the start-up sequence and will either: a) remain lit during all motoring; b ) extinguish after ABS kicks in during braking on a slippery stretch of pavement; or c) remain lit for a period, then go off for a period, then return. I've found that after the ABS work successfully and the lamps extinguish that all I must do to extinguish the "wrench" icon lamp is to shift (at stop) momentarily into neutral. Yesterday the ABS was activating even on dry pavement when the lamps were lit. I phoned the dealer to arrange service, and they indicated this could be related to a faulty rear wheel speed sensor. They noted there were three other Edges in their shop while we spoke. I located on this site a TSB for similar symptoms, but it identifies FWD Edges. Have any of the other Edge motorists on this forum experienced a similar problem as to what I'm describing? What was your experience with same? Thanks in advance!

When it's very cold, near or below zero, our Edge can dip to the low 16s, but in just over 3300 miles on the odometer our overall results are 18.0 mpg.
