Welcome to the community, Nick! Glad to have you and your '11 Edge (and other rides) here! As stated above, great place to be, learn, and share Pix please

Transmission shift points are probably the biggest long-running complaint I have.

From all reports, Ford has had less issues with carbon buildup than their widely publicized German counterparts. The engine would still benefit from a DI cleaning service (upper induction service) or walnut shell blasting every 30,000 miles or so.

Cool name!

vLEDs is a reputable vendor, most issues have related to switchbacks, not surprising with the Edge's finicky system. BUT the rating of 4500 has to be total for BOTH bulbs, not ea, as only 125% of halogen output means 2250 per side (halogen typically 1600-1900 per side). I hope the wattage rating is also a TOTAL rating, because I currently have LED headlights that are purportedly 20W/2200 lumens per bulb (unverified).

I know of a guy who used their lighting products on his F150, and the results were quite good! Their lumens rating is also probably a believable rating, unlike many vendors on EBay.

Have you tried the DIY fixes mentioned on this forum for the door ajar issue? Try spraying the switch with electrical cleaner/MAF cleaner. If you have a keyed entry, use the key to work the lock mechanism a few times. If you HAVE to replace the switch, there are a couple of sets of instructions on how to DIY. Keep all receipts in case Ford decides to reimburse down the road. How long are your trips with the F150? City/Hwy? There are a few reports of low mpg like yours, but most are at least 16 mpg or better. Any other operational problems you have noticed?

Leak in the coil would explain why another member is smelling oil in the cabin but not outside, along with mustiness. Good info!

Thanks for the update. Sounds like all is a-ok now! Still have your Edge, or the Fusion is a replacement?

Exciting times for sure! Good to try out a different ride once in a while to keep yourself from getting bored Glad you made it through OK, too bad about the chili competition.

Did you ever find out the source of the oil leak early this year? It could have returned. I had a PTU seal go bad on me, would only smell in the wintertime on startup. Condensor and/or heater core may need servicing with BG FrigiClean or similar product, applied through the condensation drain. This should get rid of musty/mildewy odors. EDIT: Per another recent post, some F150 owners had an evaporator coil leaking, creating an oil smell in the cabin. So this is another item you might have looked at.

There's a separate MKX forum??? Welcome aboard, TJay, good choice for new ride This forum is very friendly and informative. Keep us updated on how you do with your MKX. Pics too, please

I looked at the driver side door today, and it is every so slightly out at both top & bottom. No problem. I do however need to spray some silicone on the weatherstripping as the weather's getting to be pretty cold.

Cold boot for the drive Good to know as possible solution.

What year/level of Edge do you have? If it's still the OEM battery, typically 3 years is on the outside the max life the battery is good for.

Have never found just the lenses. My guess is that if you did, brand new, they would nearly be the cost of the entire assembly. They try to push you into complete replacement these days.

Ahhhh yes, the clean obsession

Wouldn't mind a 7-seater with the Edge nameplate on it in the U.S. Yeah, I know, we have the Explorer ...

Hope they get your Edge fixed up pronto!

I see what you mean. Is it "off" more at the top of the door than the bottom? Hopefully no "shaving" or trimming of metal parts is needed.

If the headlights are anything like the taillights, you should be able to separate the lens from the body. There was a writeup sometime ago on how a member coated/painted the interior chrome parts of the taillights black, that has some tips on how to separate and re-join. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/14008-diy-tail-light-painting/

I find it really difficult to believe an oil could make that much of a difference, but am interested in your followup I would think colder weather, more idling time, more use of the HVAC, all these things would contribute to the lowered mpg. Still, 4 mpg is a lot!

Absolutely. I posted the alignment procedure for GK purposes, since the topic was brought up. Not sure I see anything in these instructions either to help the door close tighter to the body, but a body shop would know far better than I

Since the frame of reference is relative, either the front or the rear door or both could need alignment. Here are the instructions for a 2007: Door Adjustment — Front NOTE: LH door shown, RH door similar. NOTE: Make sure the rear door is within specifications before making any adjustments to the front door. For additional information, refer to Section 501-35 . Remove the front fender. For additional information, refer to Section 501-02 .Mark the position of the front door hinges to use as a reference point.Loosen the 2 front door lower hinge-to-body bolts just enough to permit movement.Loosen the 2 front door upper hinge-to-body bolts just enough to permit movement.Loosen the front door upper hinge locator pin nut just enough to permit movement.Adjust the front door to specifications. For additional information, refer to Section 501-35 .Tighten the front door upper hinge-to-body bolts in the order shown. Tighten to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft). Tighten the front door upper hinge locator pin nut. Tighten to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Install the front fender. For additional information, refer to Section 501-02 . Door Adjustment — Rear Remove the B-pillar trim panel. For additional information, refer to Section 501-05 .Mark the positions of the rear door hinges to use as reference points.Loosen the 2 lower interior rear door hinge-to-body nuts just enough to permit movement.Loosen the 2 upper interior rear door hinge-to-body bolts just enough to permit movement.Loosen the exterior upper rear door hinge locator pin nut just enough to permit movement.Adjust the rear door to specifications. For additional information, refer to Section 501-35 .Tighten the interior upper rear door hinge-to-body nuts in the order shown. Tighten to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft). Tighten the exterior upper rear door hinge-to-body nut. Tighten to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Check the front door adjustments. For additional information, refer to Door Adjustment — Front in this section.Install the B-pillar trim panel. For additional information, refer to Section 501-05 .

Man, people seem to be sent out there with a missive to cause damage to other vehicles these days! Glad the scuffs are taken care of
