  1. Welcome to the forum, djrjr, and congrats on your beautiful new/leased '15 Sport! Hope your Edge won't be hit by any of the major malfunctions noted by various owners so far. Most rattle issues can be fixed (so I read) with some tape/glue/foam, so that's the bright side
  2. How about 45 min to 1 hr later? Should be off by then if working correctly.
  3. Are these 63.4 or 70.6 center bore wheels, wizard?
  4. AutoNation parts depts generally have a good reputation, and the WBL one for sure! Glad they were able to help out
  5. Well, at least you got some new parts in the process :/
  6. Could just be a bad wheel/tire combo, became obvious when that rear tire got moved to active duty in the front. Hopefully you can get a re-alignment/balancing for free? The Paradas are quality tires, but there could be a dud once in a while. 22" OEM wheels have been known to crack, so I would have them inspected very closely. Or could be a driveshaft bearing issue that happens to coincide with the tire purchase/rotation.
  7. Run, don't walk from San Tan Ford. There are better dealerships out there. BTW, as a matter of routine, 3yr/36,000 mile intervals still hold for drain & fills: brake fluid, trans fluid, power steering fluid, etc. IF you want to be proactive. Not absoutely necessary, but a good idea. All fluids discolor over time. But do they smell burnt, is there debris in the fluid, ... That's what you need to watch out for, and check on a regular basis. And yes, I have gotten the "brake fluid is dirty, throttle body is dirty, etc." routine before. Maybe the dealership hopes the owner won't question them on it.
  8. So you are using a carrier of some sort, crchet? Parking Aids section of the manual starts around pg 183. There may be, as Joe said, a way to turn the system off ... Certain add-on devices such as large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks and any device that may block the normal detection zone of the system, may create false beeps. Note: If you attach certain add-on devices such as a trailer or bike rack, the rear sensing system may detect that add-on device and therefore provide warnings. It is suggested that you disable the rear sensing system when you attach an add-on device to your vehicle to prevent these warnings. Apparently on the F150s, you can press the odometer reset button while the system is beeping to turn it off. Pg 103/107: If you scroll through the menus, there should be a DRIVER ASSIST section when you can uncheck the Rear Parking Aid feature to disable it. Pg 119: If MyKey is enabled, Park Aid cannot be deactivated.
  9. Exactly what persuaded me to buy my first Ford eons ago
  10. That's going to stop working eventually as well, so you might want to be proactive and spray the heck out of the latch now with electronics or MAF cleaner to prolong service life.
  11. It's possible, but usually the problem I have seen is related to charging using a generic cable between a Samsung device and a Samsung charger. Worth a shot for sure.
  12. I believe the "Edge" being sold in China is actually a rebadged Explorer.
  13. All I know is there is generally a 10 minute "courtesy" power ON after engine is turned off unless (driver?) door is opened before that time is up. There is also, at least on 2011 & newer, a battery saver timeout of 45 minutes (or less if the battery level is detected to be at threshhold before that). Logic is primarily to allow accessories to be run without using engine power, such as traveling with passengers, running a short errand, vacuuming the interior etc.
  14. The major concern is with an Edge that has AWD, where the system can and will shut down if too much difference (> 3%) is noted ("sensed") somewhere in the system. Best to replace with the same make/model of tire that the other 3 are. Will minimize ride/handling characteristics as well as keep the AWD from freaking out. HTH.
  15. Ford does use hydraulic mounts in vehicles like the Taurus SHO even today, don't know about the 2011+ Edge though.
  16. The price of trading in ole reliable - a headache in oh so many ways We need good aftermarket parts for the lift struts.
  17. Probably needs new design foam padding? Maybe they will fix the heated/cooled feature while they are at it.
  18. In at least a few cases, the water leaks also led to compromised electronics.
  19. The manual certainly implies the power point is always on. Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the power point. To prevent the battery from discharging accidentally: • Do not use the power point longer than necessary when the vehicle is not running. • Do not leave devices plugged in overnight or when you park your vehicle for extended periods.
  20. Not a reassuring experience at all! Is there an actual leak or could it be the fuel pump/level sensor is disconnected/rusted/at fault?
  21. How many miles on your Edge? Checked for codes from the OBD port? When the A/C does work without the coolant temp going to H, are the temperatures out of the vent what you'd expect? Checked the condenser/radiator to make sure they are clean? You can use a foaming A/C cleaner (any home hardware store), let sit, then gently wash down with water from a garden hose (no high pressure!). Coolant level at FULL when engine is cold & off? Does the cooling fan come on when you first start the engine with the A/C off, then switch it on in MAX A/C position with blower on HIGH? Check coolant flow with engine running & warmed up by turning on MAX HEAT/blower HIGH then touching the heater outlet hose. Hose should be hot. Also feel the upper/lower radiator hoses. One of them should definitely be hotter than the other when engine is warmed up. That would verify thermostat. The gauge itself may be faulty. Pinpoint Test D: Incorrect Temperature Gauge Indication Normal OperationThe PCM receives the engine coolant temperature status through hardwired circuitry to the cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor. The instrument cluster receives the engine coolant temperature data from the PCM over the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN) communication bus. The instrument cluster monitors the engine coolant temperature data received from the PCM and commands the temperature gauge indication with a corresponding movement of the pointer. If the instrument cluster does not receive the engine coolant temperature status message from the PCM for 5 seconds or less, the instrument cluster defaults the temperature gauge to the last setting, based upon the last known good temperature status message. If the instrument cluster does not receive the engine coolant temperature status message from the PCM for more than 5 seconds or if the data received is deemed invalid, the instrument cluster sets DTC U0100 in continuous memory and defaults the temperature gauge to cold ©. NOTE: If DTC U0100 is set in the instrument cluster, other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer, tachometer or odometer. Possible Causes PCM Instrument cluster
