Sure hope the dealership can figure this out quickly, and then that's the last of the worries for a long long time.

Do you think it's broken in yet, or some further improvement (mpg) is to be expected?

A/C has been slow to cool (blowing "cold" air, that is), even when ambient and engine is just warmed up. Compared it to the '97 Intrepid, which began blowing cold air within seconds of starting the A/C in similar conditions. Looked at the condenser in front of the radiator. Lots of fins that remind me of the Explorer Sport wheel look Didn't really see any major obstructions, but quite a few small pebbles caught here & there. And the fins were black (dirt? paint?). So I took an A/C Foaming Cleaner (Home Depot) and sprayed the condenser liberally with it, let it sit for a few minutes, hosed it off with gentle water pressure. Waiting to get a chance to check for any performance changes, but the fins do look much cleaner.

It's kinda hard for the DIY'er not to "fix" the situation completely understandable! Just like going to the doctor's, how do you know when your cold is not just a cold ...

I personally do not. They will need to see it happen before they can fix it. And I am sure this will happen again sooner rather than later. Did you scan for codes using an OBD scan tool? tsb07-21-11 6F50 TRANSAXLES BUILT PRIOR TO 10-21-2007—DTC P0715, P0717, P0718, P0720, P0721, P0722 AND-OR HARSH ENGAGEMENT, NO UPSHIFT, FIFTH GEAR ONLY 2007-08 Edge.pdf

A search on the forum will be enlightening Basically, you might have faulty wheel speed sensor(s), but the usual culprits are the TSS & OSS sensors (turbine & output shafts) inside the transmission casing.

Other EBs: custom tune, downpipes, intake/exhaust systems, "bigger" turbos, methanol injection. Going all out? Upgraded engine components (rods/pistons/head studs/etc) are available. No drivetrain mods really, other than shortened (full synthetic) fluid change intervals to maximize performance and life.

Can't beat HWHL! Good luck with the new Edge

18 watts would be fine. Specs for sample 921 bulb

From the owner's manual (pg 323 or thereabouts): 2.0 ECOBOOST/2.7 ECOBOOST/3.5 V6 Windshield wiper blade WW-2755 (driver side) WW-2760 (passenger side) WW-1413 (rear window) I guess they didn't change that over the years!

Yeah, it is pretty sad one cannot find the bearings separately. If your mechanic is daring enough to take one apart, he could probably get a very similar part (specwise) from one of the bearing companies out there.

CB will be fine, it's just another small dip in the road. Every incident tends to be very stressful, regardless of magnitude, but our best wishes are always with you.

Go help out a small farmer, do some physical labor, that will relieve your stress for sure

Not so common, I think. The further along we get in automotive design, the more we take things for granted, i.e., the vehicle will auto-handle the situation. I haven't had ONE salesman yet point out these things during the sales process. BUT, I WILL say that since the Owner's Manual is so easy to get to in PDF form, it is worthwhile checking/searching for answers first

Finally, a break in the clouds! Let's hope that Joey is not an isolated case

Ronaldo! How is your Edge restoration project going? Did you get the axle issue resolved?

I think you should give it a go with a full synthetic oil just to see whether it makes engine operation smoother/better mpg. I have seen some benefit with Mobil 1, but too soon yet to draw a conclusion.

I think the fan for the A/C is on the driver side of the fan assembly. You won't feel a breeze there if you start up the Edge with the A/C off. But should when you turn on the MAX A/C. At least that was my experience. Even with a strong light, it was kinda hard to see the fans turning. Maybe a sizeable makeup mirror would work?

Maybe the Chinese version of the Edge is what you need

Good luck! Like enigma said, the shifter may be the culprit, hope it's nothing more involved.

Sorry to hear about your mom, wish her a speedy recovery!

No, only the affected coils, unfortunately. So you could be playing a game of whack-a-mole here. You are correct, akirby, the LATEST version of the TSB does seem to imply that, IF the appropriate codes are also logged. tsb13-04-17 2007-08 Edge MIL ON WITH DTCS - P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0355, AND-OR P0356 - BUILT ON OR BEFORE 3-1-2008 CoilOnPlugs & PCM.pdf

Might need to put on a T-Bolt clamp or an OEM spring clamp instead of the usual hose clamp.

Traction control prevents wheel slippage, transferring power around or reducing power or braking as needed when slip/spin is detected. Exactly what you DON'T want when stuck in the snow. From the 2011 OM: Traction control system (TCS) Traction control is a driver aid feature that helps your vehicle maintain traction of the wheels, typically when driving on slippery and/or hilly road surfaces, by detecting and controlling wheel spin. Excessive wheel spin is controlled in two ways, which may work separately or in tandem; engine traction control and brake traction control. Engine traction control works to limit drive-wheel spin by momentarily reducing engine power. Brake traction control works to limit wheel spin by momentarily applying the brakes to the wheel that is slipping. Traction control is most active at low speeds. During traction control events, the stability control light in the instrument cluster will flash. If the traction control system is activated excessively in a short period of time, the braking portion of the system may become temporarily disabled to allow the brakes to cool down. In this situation, traction control will use only engine power reduction or transfer to help control the wheels from over-spinning. When the brakes have cooled down, the system will regain all features. Anti-lock braking, RSC, and ESC are not affected by this condition and will continue to function during the cool-down period. The engine traction control and brake traction control system may be deactivated in certain situations. See the Switching off AdvanceTrac with RSC section below. Switching off AdvanceTrac with RSC If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine power, switching off certain features of the AdvanceTrac with RSC system may be beneficial because the wheels are allowed to spin. This will restore full engine power and will enhance momentum through the obstacle. To switch off the AdvanceTrac with RSC system, select traction control off in the message center. Full features of the AdvanceTrac with RSC system can be restored by selecting traction control on, or by turning off and restarting the engine. If you switch off the AdvanceTrac with RSC system, the stability control off light will illuminate steadily. Selecting traction control on will turn off the stability control light. In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine traction control and brake traction control features will continue to function. However, ESC and RSC are disabled.

I assume the low side/high side pressures were checked each time work was done on the A/C system? Sounds like the condenser was cleaned (the part in front of the radiator)? Also check if your cabin air filter is blocked. Does water drip from underneath the Edge when you run the A/C? How many miles do you have on your Edge? As Jared pointed out, the fans have been known to fail. Usually a replacement from Dorman works pretty well in these cases. May need to make sure the electrical connections are tight on the new units tho. Do you have the "standard" Edge or the one with the towing package installed?
