Beautiful!

No way to avoid a diagnostic There is a rare possibility that has to do with subframe not allowing proper adjustment. I'd try to find a reputable dealer or service shop on yelp or repairpal or dealerrater.

I have seen around the web that a PCM update has resolved solenoid related noises for gm transmissions. Worth a shot here?

I guess aftermarket is the best choice then.

Hmmm, ok, thanks!

Glad to see DDM handling the issue. Maybe shoulda gotten a couple extra while at it

You might be able to do this with a head unit swap and a ford tech to help you turn it on. Pm thirdgenlxi, he did something similar for his 2007, get his insight.

How many miles on your current pads/rotors, kghayes? You may need a brake booster, in addition to new pads/rotors (unfortunately, I have to recommend non-Ford parts for p/r). I will be getting my brakes p/r done soon with a brake flush. And definitely change dealers/shops if unhappy with service. Plenty of recommendations on yelp, repairpal, dealerrater, etc.

Welcome to Edge ownership, truly!

Ooooooooo ... The tow package should make the transmission happier too!

Are you all getting the TSS/OSS sensors replaced?

Definitely pays to get a Lincoln! Glad to hear they continue their outstanding customer service. Maybe all us Ford-ies should flood Lincoln service centers

Interesting. Did you use the paste wax or the liquid wax? What was your application process? Don't normally hear of a pure carnauba survive that kind of beating.

Does the '12 Edge use a mechanical shutter to switch from Hi to Lo Beam? Could a malfunction with the shutter cause this type of problem?

Welcome to the community! Agreed on aftermarket handsfree device possibility.

Tasca lists 7T4Z-16A550-A as the part number for '07-'13 Edge/MKX front mud guards http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OEM-BLACK-FRONT-SPLASH-GUARDS-MUD-FLAPS-2007-2013-EDGE-MKX-7T4Z-16A550-A-/231075766757

Do you have the manual or automatic climate control? Could still have a problem with the blend door and/or the climate control module.

Hopefully they gave you enough to move forward and acquire another compatible vehicle.

I guess all attention has been focused on the MKC?

What oil and filter are you using, Josh? This engine seems to prefer the OEM Motorcraft FL400S, due to the location of the bypass valve at the base end as opposed to most other filters, providing lubrication that much quicker to the engine on startup. If the sound goes on for a few minutes, it could be due to inadequate lubrication through the cam phasers, so keeping a tight schedule on OCs is an excellent recommendation.

Could very well be one or more wheel bearings going out. Sometimes brake pad/rotor interaction can also cause grinding noises when turning if the pads are not seating properly. Should all be under b2b warranty, so definitely have the dealer look at this.

I am still thinking "fogged" assemblies that could clear up with a bit of polishing.

By frequency of occurrence, I suspect the cooling fan motor is at fault. You may want to replace the entire assembly due to cost reasons: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12731-radiator-fan-assembly-replacement-procedure/ This is the basic procedure from the 2007's workshop manual: Cooling Fan Motor and Shroud Item Part Number Description 1 13A506 Wiring harness retainer (5 required) 2 8B274 Upper radiator hose 3 14A464 Cooling fan motor and shroud electrical connector 4 W503924 Cooling fan motor and shroud bolt (2 required) 5 8C607 Cooling fan motor and shroud 6 W503924 Oil cooler bracket bolt (if equipped) 7 — Oil cooler bracket (if equipped) Removal and Installation Disconnect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to Section 414-01 .Remove the air cleaner assembly. For additional information, refer to Section 303-12 .If equipped, detach the 2 block heater wiring clips from the radiator support. Detach the 5 wiring harness retainers and position the harness aside.Position aside the upper radiator hose from the cooling fan motor and shroud.Disconnect the cooling fan motor and shroud electrical connector.If equipped, remove the bolt and position aside the oil cooler bracket. To install, tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). Remove the 2 bolts and the cooling fan motor and shroud. To install, tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). To install, reverse the removal procedure.
