  1. That’s correct. I have this exact one and when installing you have to determine ahead of time what area you want protected. I chose the outer ‘Edge” (pun intended) of the bumper. With three oblivious teenagers loading/unloading the car I figured outside damage would be more likely
  2. Good morning, OP here with a followup/resolution. I took my car to another Ford dealer and they retrieved the code that caused the check engine light to come on. Long story short the #6 cylinder was misfiring, so they recommended replacing the ignition coil and getting a tune up that included replacing the spark plugs. This problem was unrelated to the flooded waters I drove through. As for my flood damage concerns, aside from having the flex pipe repaired, Ford recommended servicing the trans fluid (flush), rear axle service, and power steering (flush). Oh and of course, my battery (over six years old) didn't pass the battery check test so I had that replaced as well. Just a quick thanks to all of you who provided their recommendations. When it comes to cars, I'm not mechanically savvy and sometimes it's difficult knowing what questions to ask.
  3. Thank you all for the feedback. Went to the dealer and of course, no codes could be found. Will definitely have the PTU and O2 sensor checked
  4. Top of the wheels. I checked the engine compartment after driving through but it didn’t appear wet. Not sure if it did get wet and evaporated from the heat. Is the O2 sensor higher up by the throttle bodyAir cleaner?
  5. Hello, I ended up driving through a flooded viaduct and after coming out on the other side, I heard what sounded like a hole in the muffler. Next day, I took it to a muffler shop and they told me/showed me that the flex pipe needed to be replaced and I approved. After getting the car back, I ran an errand and throttled up to 45-50 mph when the Check Engine link began to flash/blink. I put it in neutral and pulled off the road to check. Engine sounded fine. Oil was full. No abnormal smells, vibrations, etc. Car sounded fine and the light went off so I went on my way. This morning the light came on again after passing a car at roughly 40-45mph. This time the car was somewhat hesitant to accelerate and the engine felt sluggish. After 45 seconds, the condition went away and the car experienced no further issues. My question is would the exhaust repair trigger some type of code to cause the light to come on? Is there a sensor in between the flex pipe repair that the mechanic could have possibly forgot to reconnect? Could an incorrect repair set the light off? Or could this be just a coincidence of two separate issues occuring at the same time? BTW, I have a dealer appt tomorrow to get a scan. Any thoughts/recommendations would be highly appreciated. Car details - 2011 Ford Edge Ltd. AWD, 3.5L w/approx 88k miles. Daily driver.
  6. Happened to me as well. The problem started last year ('11 Ltd, AWD, 42k miles), disappeared in the spring, summer, and fall, but then got progressively worse once the temp's went below freezing. No amount of hard/soft closing, wd-40, electronic cleaner spray, and other fixes would work. I bit the bullet and went to my dealership. While the service mgr mentioned that there was a TSB, I forgot to ask him for the reference #. I am far from handy, so long story short I paid about $340 for the repair.
  7. Hi a4372, Probably too simplistic on my part, but I had something similar (floored/gunned it going around a corner and get a delayed reaction). Have you tried disengaging the traction control?
  8. Hi Folks, I purchased a used 2011 Ford Edge Ltd. AWD last month and been lurking here about 3 weeks and finally signed up. Apologies in advance for my newb questions down the road, however, I am really digging all the mods and advice (LED lighting will be the first mod I will tackle). Great work here folks and I look forward to discussions going forward. Jordan
