In the Market for 2013 Edge Sport, Any Reoccurring Issues?
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to sman83's topic in 2013 Edge & MKX
Congrats, and welcome to Edge ownership! As they say, Happy Trails! -
Do you typically run FI cleaner through the fuel system, Prinzll? Sounds like a spark plug change as well as PCV valve change (plus air filter for all your AZ folks ) is in order!

2011 Sport FWD: Shocks or Struts (or both?)
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to robroy90's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Hope the Continentals do the trick! It is rather annoying not to be able to narrow down the cause of prominent NVH. -
2011 Sport FWD: Shocks or Struts (or both?)
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to robroy90's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
If it's the tires, on rotation, the noise should > in the front and < in the rear. If it's wheel bearings (and the rear WBs do go out more often), then the rotation will have little to no effect on the noise. Have the wheel bearings checked for free rotation while on the lift and emergency brake off. -
2011 Sport FWD: Shocks or Struts (or both?)
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to robroy90's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Look over the reviews at Tirerack. Seems the tires do well initially but once the miles pile on (20K or more usually), the ratings really drop. Could be they were never rotated or checked for pressure etc. but in the absence of that knowledge: http://www.tirerack.com/survey/SurveyComments.jsp?&category=tire&additionalComments=y&commentStatus=P&tireMake=Sumitomo&tireModel=HTR+Sport+H%2FP&fromTireDetail=true&tirePageLocQty= Maybe you should try to find a local reputable tire shop that will allow you to test drive new tires to see if that is what you need (a 30 day guarantee or something). I have had that option available to me before. With that many miles on the tires, if there ARE problems, the tires cannot be "corrected". And you are sure that it IS road noise? Does it go up when you turn the wheel to the left vs the right (thinking wheel bearings)? Fordparts.com is the reference site for all things Ford, but when in doubt, you can always ask Benny at LevittownFordSuperCenter.com. He has a thread on here where you can post any parts questions you have, and is VERY helpful. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/10937-employee-pricing-on-all-parts-accessories/page-10 -
2013 Ford Edge Limited Brake Issues
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to scottk's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
How much mileage on it when you picked it up? Sitting on the lot for a long time will do bad things to the brakes unless everything is serviced before being put into daily use. -
2013 Ford Edge Limited Brake Issues
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to scottk's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Is the Edge used on a daily basis? The brakes need to be exercised regularly to keep the pistons and slide pins from binding. 14K is not much over 3 years! At least the slide pins should be greased regularly, once a year or more, since you live in the salt/rust belt. -
Congrats, Mrinal and welcome to the forum! Miles of smiles, may they accompany you.

Black would offset the silver rotors nicely. -
Abnormal Steering on the 3.7 Sport
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to mcali6301's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Does the Edge track straight while driving at speeds 60 or above, i.e., if you let go of the wheel briefly, would it continue in a straight line with the steering wheel pointed straight ahead? -
Welcome to the community, Burke, congrats on the '15 Edge! AWD? Color? Pics? Planning to leave it stock?

2008 Edge heated seat has a mind of it's own
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to MisterTom's topic in 2008 Edge & MKX
Probably a failed/shorting control module (located underneath the seat, IIRC). -
It's the customer service you deserve for your patience during these "hostage" negotiations.

2011 Sport FWD: Shocks or Struts (or both?)
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to robroy90's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Welcome to the forum! Struts up front, shocks in the rear. Normally only need to replace the components (in pairs) on the axle with the issues. Not all 4 at the same time. Which Pirellis are you running? The Scorpion Zero's did have some issues early on. Did you notice the noise moving around when the tires were rotated? Sometime the 22" wheels crack or suffer from bead seal failure also. -
All Ford Edges Now on Factory Hold?
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to xbillmh's topic in Buying, Leasing & Ordering
A bilge pump WOULD come in handy as the waters rise due to global warming ... -
Glad to hear the miscreant injector was found & addressed! Did you take pics of the old plugs by any chance? Try returning the TPS and TB?

There is a classifieds listing for wheels, if you are interested in that. Chrome clad covers CAN be removed http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/13714-chrome-clad-covers-can-be-removed/ if you think you like the "after" look, you can go that route. You could also fit 2010+ Taurus SHO or MKS or Explorer 20" wheels on your Edge. Make sure the center bore on the wheels is the same. There are many reputable vendors in the "truck" wheel business, KMC is a popular one. TSW wheels are also great choices. If you search on "new wheels" on this site you will see what people have chosen as aftermarket replacements. You can gaze at endless wonder here: http://www.carid.com/2013-ford-edge-limited-wheels/ I like to sort by highest ratings/lowest price etc. But I am partial to Foose Outkast because they look kinda like the 2013+ Taurus SHO wheels

2011 Edge SEL ambient temp sensor
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to Shannon Pauley's topic in Exterior & Body
I assume you are in Canada, Shannon, since it says 23 degrees Seriously though, does it say 23 Celsius or 23 Farenheit? Do you know what all they tried to do to fix the issue? Has the Edge been in any front end incidents lately? The sensor is usually in the engine compartment, behind the front bumper cover. It could be that the sensor, APIM or the CCM is involved and has to be replaced, but it might help to pull fuses (#37 in the passenger compartment fuse panel for instance) first. Believe it or not, a weak/bad battery can also do funky things. So have that checked (by modern testers). Try resetting everything with a pull of the negative battery cable for about 30 minutes. -
All Ford Edges Now on Factory Hold?
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to xbillmh's topic in Buying, Leasing & Ordering
Being kept in the dark can be awfully frustrating! I don't know if this is a reflection of the frustration Ford itself feels or what. Considering the setbacks they have had with the new MY Edge, there must be something big going on to merit such a blackout. I don't know if they could open communications simply by signing their customers to an NDA of some sort. xbillmh, I hope they get you a vehicle produced as close to actual delivery as possible, so it has not been sitting on the lot for a prolonged period. That'd be only right. They should recognize your patience and "reward" you accordingly. -
Abnormal Steering on the 3.7 Sport
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to mcali6301's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Well, can't say they didn't try! -
There might be some Dremel-tool-based appicators out there, and that would definitely help the correction be more even. But for tight spaces, usually the best route is to take a good microfiber cloth (or glove) and some finishing polish like Meguiar's 205 (since the haze/swirls are not bad yet), add elbow grease. No idea on the Mother's Powerball for this app. There are a few user reviews, mostly good. Not quite for paint, but these tools do exist: http://www.amazon.com/Anytime-Tools-MANIFOLD-ALUMINUM-Stainless/dp/B000HW9G6K/

Just what the Dr ordered, thanks to Charles-Eric! http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/11753-upgrade-the-headlights-to-auto-light/ I know it's for a 2011, but maybe the 2010 is similar.
