Newbie (1/14)

  1. This happens often. While I'm driving the wife's 2008 Edge Limited you hear a beep and the message center displays calibration complete. Anyone ever see this?
  2. Took my 08 limited in and recieved a "that's just brake dust and that's not covered" and I said "for 35.000 you want to bet"? but after further looking at it, the service manager said he will order 4 new rims for it. The mechanic who changed my oil tried to get it clean it off with soft steel wool and a little did come off, but not all. With 11.000 miles on it, I did not see it peeling , just brake dust inbedding in the chrome. I love this vehicle. As far as it goes, if it happens again. they need to replace them with a better design or something. seems it's a large problem for them because I'm not the only one with this issue and by replacing them under warrenty their already accepting responsability for future replacements. By the way i wash my edge 2 to 3 times a week and always clean the rims thourghly and it still happened.
  3. well I took it to the dealer for the rims and an oil change, they kep it for 3 days and the service manager said ther is nothing they could do that it was just brake dust and there was nothing they can do. WELL I SAID BULLSH**, I told him I wash it by hand and scrub the rims with a brush. He contacted ford and they told him to take pictures of the rims and to order 4 new rims. He said they will call me when they come in, but it may take a while. In the meantime they cleaned the rims with soft steel wool and alot did come off but in the narrowest part of the spoke near the center of the rim it is tarnished a brownish color. So I'm waiting for the new rims. I wonder how long these will last me.
  4. Thanks glc, I haven't had time to take it to the dealer as of yet and it's nice to have some info behind me when I do. I just hope the newer material is more durable than what's on it now. i wanted to buy a nice set of chrome wheels, but I said to myself, "self, why do I have to spend about 1 to 2 grand" We paid 35 grand already.
  5. I have noticed that the chrome clad wheels are starting to discolor in the corners of the spokes. I wash my edge about twice a week and the wheels using only blue coral car wash soap and never used any cleaner on the rims or tires. Has anyone encountered this problem? I plan on taking it in for an oil change and showing the service dept. I would think after spending 35.000 for a limited, the rims should not change colors. With around 8800 miles this is the only issur I've had so far.
  6. Was driving last Monday and heard a roaring noise from the left rear wheel area that changed frequency with speed. Tookit in to currie motors in frankfort Illinois and they replaces the hub and bearing assy. with only 4400 miles. Sunday it was fine and all the sudden, next day it was noisy. The service dept. was great. Has anyone else had a bearing problem so soon?
  7. Does anyone have this problem? Everytime I exit my edge it seems that my left shoulder always comes in contact with the headrest, so after a few times the headrest is all the way in the up position. It bugs the crap out of me. I blamed my wife everytime she drove it but found out it was me all the long. Granted I'm 6' 2" I don't think this should happen.
  8. I have a verizon envy, which is an LG phone and everything works fine except the text messageing which does not bother me, but the wife (text queen) can't accept that.
