I believe omar302 had this addressed on his MKX, and he is in the Middle East, so the warranty should cover you as well.

Hope that is the last of it!

Welcome to the community, Ginger, def off to a great start! Bronzefire is a great color.

You did good

In the FSM, it is called the Aero Shield, and it is held in place by 4 bolts, 4 trim pins, and 2 push pins. To install, tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). Likely find it in Emissions Components along with the Vapor Canister. Might be these two, but I can't tell 4 sure: FORD OEM Exterior-Air Deflector Left BT4Z7811398B FORD OEM Exterior-Air Deflector Right BT4Z7811398A

The key shown on the product page does not have SA lettering on it, do your new keys have it? This EBay listing shows IKTs that fit a 2013 Edge: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-New-Remote-Start-Head-Key-80-Bit-Keyless-Fob-Transmitter-Uncut-Blade-Combo-Car-/400924667244

Watching for updates

Congrats, looks very COMFY

Can you include pics & links of the :China" IKT keys you ordered/received, so we know what we are possibly looking at? How old is the battery in the Edge? Original, or replaced recently?

Hi Matt! Highly unusual to hear of this type issue with the 3.5L (I assume this is what you have since you mentioned the back center cylinder) engine. More typically, there is block porosity (rare), head gasket failure (rare), and/or water pump failure (a bit more frequent). But as with all these crammed engine bays, Bank 1 suffers from heat suffocation, so problems are more likely to show up on that side. How much mileage do you have on your 2013/engine? Are you monitoring CHT and ECT temps off the OBD port? A lot of idling/traffic, or mostly highway driving...?

True, it could be the underbody shield used to protect the fuel/evap components.

Possible the bushings in the suspension are wearing down and can't cushion fast enough for a series of bumps.

Welcome to the forum, Agima, and congrats on the new ride! Definitely some homework with the tech in the 2011 What color is your Edge, please do post some pics when you can!

When I was doing this, I got stuck until I realized there is indeed a bolt hidden away under the windshield cowling, securing the intake manifold in place. It's a bit of a pain to get to, but using an extension for your socket wrench should work fine. If you have an '07, you could be running into the electrically heated PCV valve issue, in which case the electrical connector needs to be disconnected first also. See pics in my post http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/8724-sparkplug-replacement-job-info-with-photos/page-3?do=findComment&comment=130235 HTH.

Thanks for the followup, Gortty!

The NHTSA site is the best way for the public to get a "free" hold of the TSB summaries that I know of.

Yup, definitely a candidate, with an April 1st build date (not that the problem is limited to the specified dates).

You can look up your Edge by VIN here: https://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleSelection.do The production date (first item in righthand column) is listed, I believe, in DDMMYYYY format.

Know the production date of your Edge? Wonder if it was a repurchased vehicle ...

So pulling the neg battery cable for 30 min or pulling the fuse for the sunroof did not do anything? Have you inspected the tracks carefully to see if some part has come loose, causing blockages? If you can get it to move at all: we have threads on "slow" sunroofs & re-initialization, not sure if those procedures will help. Greasing the tracks is also helpful.

After all of the above are verified ok ... In sequence, we'd be looking for a plugged/restricted heater core (check temp diff between inlet & outlet hoses once the engine has reached operating temp), then temperature blend door actuator, then various circuits for shorts, then the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM), and finally the HVAC module.

Does the blower work consistently at all fan speeds? Checked the cabin air filter? Manual or automatic climate control? Coolant level checked? Should be at the FULL level when cold/at ambient.

Ridealong with a tech and a black box sounds due ... Did they check the steering gear and rack?

Welcome to the forum and Edge ownership, SilverLimited, look forward to your experiences with your new ride! It is a great fit for me as well for the reasons you mentioned. Owned Fords before? Previous rides?
