Ford gets a lot of things right, just need to fix the few things that are consistently proving to be an issue. Maybe not a recall, but an extended warranty for the parts in question would be a nice start.

Welcome to the community, l1master, quite the story on your new 2013 Edge! Enjoy the trip to Vegas, and bring back stories & pics Now that it is cleaned up, what color Edge did you actually buy?

235/65-17 is the OEM size for 17" wheels. 265 width would give you 1.2 inches of additional overhang, or 0.6 inches on either side. The proposed tire would also throw off your speedometer readings significantly. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/tirecalc.php?tires=235-65r17-265-70r17 Do you have OEM 17's?

Good luck

Either Ford hasn't figured out why these problems (door latch, TB, fuel tank) are happening, or they think the chances of anything major resulting are minimal. At this point, it can't possibly be a lack of awareness of the existence of these problems. For example, there is a TSB for the door ajar issue, even tho it may not be a permanent fix. TSBs should be issued for these other common problems too. Are they even in the works?

Does sound like your commute is a prime candidate for a hybrid vehicle of some sort, as akirby mentioned.

Braces, LOL! Worthwhile upgrade

The battery is usually at the root of the major gremlins, especially if over 3 years of age.

If the latest software version is loaded, the dealer may need to reboot the camera module or replace the actual camera.

Welcome & congrats on your '11 SEL! Have fun with the MFT What color did you go with? How much mileage on the 2011 now, and how much do you anticipate putting on it yearly? Are you putting away money in a kitty for unexpected repairs? Are you a regular maintenance fanatic? Then you likely do not need the Ford ESP. But if you do want the extended warranty, the Ford ESP is likely your best bet (online dealer like Flood Ford).

Only dealership & Ford employees have access to OASIS (technically speaking). Maybe thirdgenlxi (Jared) can run one for you? I will PM him, since you need to have 5 posts before you can PM. Oh, and welcome! Put up an intro in the New Members section

I am not sure, but this is my guess: the slots on the driver side are there mainly to allow for liquids & debris to flow off the windshield and down the drains. There are more on the passenger side because that is where the air intake for the climate control system is located. If the water is getting under this plastic moulding through the slots, it's as intended. Just make sure the long strip seals are present & accounted for when you open the hood and look at the firewall side of the bay. You can always remove the moulding & clean underneath, get a really good look to make sure paint is not rusting or chipping.

If you have a physical key entry on the door, work it with the key (lock/unlock a few times) first. Use the electrical parts cleaner, and away from WD-40. If the issue returns, replace the part. There are a couple of how-tos on doing this. Good luck!

Likely fit only the Edge/MKX with the 3.7 (Mustang) engine. Good find nonetheless.

Do you think something changed for the '14 MY that caused this issue, or simply a production-time aberrance?

Welcome to the community, congrats on grabbing that '14 Edge What are your other rides? Feel free to lurk, but def post pics

Welcome, John. What vehicle are you referring to, and can you provide pics of the damaged area/vents? Do you have automatic climate control or manual?

This was the only one I could get my hands on, aside from the OM (as akirby mentioned), for 2007 Ford vehicles. If you look up the free online Chilton's manuals (via the INFOTRAC url), you can get to maintenance schedules for your specific vehicle, which are basically from the OM. 2007 Ford Edge Maintenance Schedule.pdf

Probably wiring/connector that needs to be ziptied away from the plastic panels.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the '13 SEL! Hope this Edge will treat you well in your 3-year cycle Color, AWD/FWD? See when it was produced, here: http://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegSelector.do If you notice any electrical gremlins, could be battery related, esp if the Edge was basically sitting on the lot for a while.

Norm, you can find BG servicing locations through this website: http://www.bgfindashop.com/locator/index.php If you decide to get it done, have them blow out the drain anyway (air compressor?), can't hurt.

In addition to 303, maybe a dash mat, maybe VHT Nightshade or plastic paint for a more permanent solution.

Enjoy the pre-Halloween party

Welcome to the forum, scoutchris, and congrats on acquiring the 2010 SEL! You could always plastidip the existing wheels, but don't know how well that would stick. What wheels have you looked at so far? Pix of your Edge?
