  1. Rear Inflatable Seat Belt stuck?

    in Edge ST

    Posted

    2015 Ford Edge Sport.  Rear, passenger side, inflatable seat belt was pulled all the way out to install a car seat, now the bottom reel is pulled all the way out and stuck.  The top reel still works normal, only the bottom is stuck.  It won't retract.  I tugged and pulled, no luck.  I even drove the car about 20 mph and slammed on the brakes.  No luck.  Is there an easy fix or do I have to get Ford Dealer to replace the whole mechanism??  

     

    Thanks. 

  2. Battery Charging Question?

    in 2.7L EcoBoost

    Posted

    I have a Ctek Battery Charger Conditioner with a cigarette lighter attachment to charge a sports car that I have.  Is there any way I can use that on my 2015 Ford Edge Sport?   Will I do any damage if I connect it to a power outlet?  Do they even stay powered up when the car is off?  Any information would be appreciated. 

     

    Thanks

  4. Summary of available LMS tunes for 2.7? and other questions...

    Thanks guys,

     

    I thought also read that someone has used LMS tunes on 91 Octane.

     

    So in summary, you select a tune, say 91 Performance, and drive around for a bit. Then you interact with LMS for adjustments.

    I have a 2015 Sport AWD w/ hitch (I tow a motorcycle, about 1,500 to 1,900 lbs total weight with trailer).   I run the LMS 91 performance tune when not towing and the LMS 91 Tow tune when towing.  Have been doing so since 2016, I have 50,000 miles on vehicle and no problems (yet).  I have interacted with LMS a few times with questions/mods and they were terrific about getting back to me and answering my questions.  

     

    Good Luck

  7. Wheel Lugs?

    in 2.7L EcoBoost

    Posted

    Anybody else hate these cheap ass wheel lugs.  I like my 21" wheels but these lugs get all mis-shaped when you take them on an off.  I used an impact gun to remove them (maybe I shouldn't have).  They are not ruined but they are bloated, rippled and misshaped now.  I ordered Gorilla black lug nuts #61148bcx.   It doesn't specifically say Ford Edge but the measurements are the same M14-1.5" cone, 60 degree edge, etc.    Also, my manual says torque to 162 ft/lbs.....wow.  I was surprised they require that much torque.

  8. Pulls to left on acceleration?

    in 2.7L EcoBoost

    Posted

    OK, here is the outcome of my visit to the second dealer.  They were very nice.  I explained the problem.  The Shop Foreman said they couldn't work on it unless he took a test ride and personally experienced it.  So we did that, his name was Larry (see pic below).  He confirmed it pulls to the left noticeably on acceleration and said they would look at it.  Their conclusion was we checked everything, there is nothing wrong with vehicle, we drove another Edge Sport and it did same thing so we think it is operating normally.  (see below).   So I guess I have to live with it?  Do your guys Edge's pull to the left on acceleration?  Is this really normal?

  9. Pulls to left on acceleration?

    in 2.7L EcoBoost

    Posted

    I took it to another Ford Dealer, they had the Shop Foreman drive it (with me in the car), he confirmed it pulls to left on acceleration. Then we drove another Ford Edge Sport from his lot and it did not pull to left on acceleration, if anything it pulled to right on hard acceleration.  He is puzzled but said they are going to check it out and call Ford engineers to see what they think.  My follow up appointment is next Tuesday, Jan 15th....I'll keep you all posted.

  10. Pulls to left on acceleration?

    in 2.7L EcoBoost

    Posted

    you guys know way more than I do about this but I don't think it's alignment.  I had Ford Dealer align it twice, print out shows all in green and it doesn't pull when coasting or maintaining, only when accelerating?  Maybe I'll have them check the Lower Control Arm as suggested above, I don't know what else to check, tires are good, alignment good, lugs tight, tire pressure even?   

  12. Pulls to left on acceleration?

    in 2.7L EcoBoost

    Car did not pull at all, I had 4 new tires (OEM Pirelli's) put on by Ford Dealer and had wheel alignment.  Car tracks fine when cruise or coasting, but upon acceleration, pulls to the left into the oncoming lane of traffic.  I took back to dealer, they aligned it again and told me there is nothing wrong, it's "right-on".   I know what torque steer is and this does not feel like torque steer (plus wouldn't torque steer pull me to the right?) and if it was torque steer, why didn't it do it before the tires were put on?  Any ideas.

  13. Steering Angle Sensor??

    in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension

    Posted

    Does this make sense to you guys. My 2015 Ford Edge Sport (AWD) with OEM Pirelli tires had no alignment problems, tracked straight. I took to NTB for four new tires (OEM Pirelli replacements) and an alignment. They printed me out a before and after alignment sheet that showed several measurements in the red before and all in green on the after. I drove it, it pulls to the left. They aligned it again, all green on the sheet and it still pulls to the left. The technician told me it is probably the Steering Angle Sensor memory. He claims the electronic steering memory is remembering the setting it used on the old, worn, tires to make it track straight and now that the new tires are on there, the SAS has to be reset. He told me the dealer probably has a tool for that? Does this make sense to you guys and is there any "manual" way to reset this steering angle sensor or do I have to go to dealer? I don't want to ruin a new set of over $1,000 tires.

     

    Thanks

  14. 2015 Edge Sport AWD rear blinker not working

    in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers

    Posted

    I removed the right rear light assembly and it is certainly not "user serviceable" and Ben Senise (above) was correct the owners manual does say it's not user serviceable. So I put it all back together to take it to the dealer and now its working?? The only other variable is we had a hell of a T-Storm yesterday and it monsoon rained. Perhaps water got in there? keep you posted.

  16. Wanting an LMS tune

    in 2.7L EcoBoost

    Posted

    Yes I mostly drive in sport as well. Does anyone know of anyone that uses the tow tune? I do tow a two place seadoo trailer regularly.

     

    I use the tow tune 91oct to tow my 6x10 utility trailer with everything from my motorcycle to misc cargo, no problems. I really don't notice any difference but the directions are bold faced "do not tow in performance tune" So when I tow, I do take the time to switch to "tow" tune. Not sure what changes are made to engine or tranny?

  18. Need a softer ride than 21"

    in Wheels & Tires

    Posted

    I have the OEM 21 wheels 265/40/21 Pirelli's. I was wondering if dropping down to OEM 20" 245/50/20 would make a noticeable difference? If not, would I have to go to 19"? Second question. If I change rims, can I re-use the TPMS in the current OEM 21" rims on the new smaller rims. Any help, comments, suggestions appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    MRT Eco-Flow Axle Back Exhaust for 2015 and newer Ford Edge 2.7L with AWD. I purchased new in January for $560 from MRT had it on for about 1,000 miles. It works great, good power, acceleration and nice sound (not obnoxious at all) just a little louder and deeper than stock. The only reason I removed it is because on long trips, my wife did not like the extra exhaust noise?? Please see link below. It does require cutting the existing 2 tailpipes and welding on the MRT system. I had a local muffler shop do it for $100 because I don't have that kind of equipment.

  25. 21 vs 20 inch?

    in Wheels & Tires

    When you stepped up to 45 sidewall did you note if the ride (comfort not handling) was improved? or not really noticeable?

     

    Thanks

    Running 275/45-21 Verdes on mine for that exact reason. The 40 series on the 21"s looked slightly out of proportion to my eye. Had to use a spacer or they would just barely rub on the bottom of the strut mount. 265/45's *should* fit, but might be close.

     

    Using a 5mm spacer currently, 3mm probably would work. Stock springs right now, but have the HR's in the box ready to go on. Wheel wells should be filled nicely :)

     

    Spedo is still very close. Vehicle vs. GPS @ 60mph is 62. Ride feels close to the same, after the HRs should be a little more rigid than stock.
