Sorry to see you in this boat with a lot of other folks, I got lucky and count my blessings! It would have been better to get an exception from the govt, produce the original design, maybe add a coating to it to make it more resistant to corrosion, and get the vehicles back on the road. It's not like they ruptured when brand new or something. Maybe even let the customers take the vehicle home, tankless and sealed off the fuel componentry if they wanted to keep them. I just wish they were afforded better protection at the dealership. As far as insurance, I am sure they will cover the rental for the duration of the recall. Just have to talk to them, and let them talk to Ford. Maybe they can get you a better rental vehicle too!

Ok ...

Thank goodness on my '95, the only problem I ever had with the door was the nylon bushing on the door jamb broke after 17 years

Keep a lookout for any more shift issues. Check the trans fluid condition too.

Good luck!

Reddish fluid should be either trans or power steering fluid. From the location, I'd go with power steering fluid. Have you checked the power steering fluid level in the reservoir? That hose/fittings likely need replacement, IMHO.

Hope all the pieces fall into place pronto, Craigtaz!

Sorry to hear about the wheels, J! This past winter has been nasty in its' own way.

Hopefully a placeholder, or you just got a one-of-a-kind time machine

How do you know it's clearing codes if you haven't pulled them? There ARE temporary codes, but the important ones are usually set in "permanent" memory. You have to clear those manually (unless voltages are so messed up it messed up the PCM too).

Finally found the post where Dan listed his product earlier: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/11431-led-puddle-lights/?do=findComment&comment=87296

Better brakes do exist, you can get better pads to work with OEM rotors, or replace both rotor & pad (Power Stop, EBC, etc.). A big brake kit is available for front (Brembo?), while TCE is willing to customize a Wilwood kit for the Edge/MKX (they need a "volunteer" + a few short hours for measurements etc.) for F/R. There are versions of the PTU on the SHO and thus the Police Interceptor that have a water-cooled system, but alas, not extra capacity. As akirby pointed out, a regular PTU fluid exchange program is the best/easiest bet right now for our vehicles.

Financing is usually where it falls apart most often, IMHO. You do have to question every number they write down (orally means nothing, commitment to paper is everything), but even then it may not work out. Financing is where the dealership makes money.

Wow, that looks great!!! Nice job

Nice upgrade! Looking forward to your review of the EBC looks/function over time

Got a nice glow on it

Congrats, about time Which dealer did you end up working out a deal with?

Probably need to replace the shifter based on your troubleshooting. Normally, we see transmission range sensors causing battery drain, but this could be an early or different version of the same problem.

Maybe the steel not of as good a quality as in the past?

That's me, flyin' feathers everywhere!!!

Sweet updates! Looking forward to the pics & your review of the new lights (staying away from filter discussions lol) ...

Looks nice! My Edge has issues with the headlights pitting more than anything else, they are pretty clear otherwise.

Have you looked up the window sticker for your Edge to see what's supposed to be on there? Mine says 20 gallons, even though AWD is supposed to have 19 gal for 2007. http://www.inventory.ford.com/services/inventory/WindowSticker.pdf?vin=

Best of luck, hoping for a continuation of the trend
