  1. After purchasing a 2010 Ford Edge Limited just a few weeks ago, I noticed only two lights (essentially 4 numbers) light up. Our 1999 Ford Explorer Limited had the keypad and all keypad lights lit up. Could this be a bad fuse or a few bad fuses...something I can fix myself or shall I take it to the dealer for a warranty issue since it's under the 3 years and 26,000 miles? Also, is there a function on these new keypads to open the hatch?
  2. Good quality rotors, for future reference would be?
  3. Yes, I agree. I was talking to my husband about this the other day. I wonder how many mechanics will eventually be out of business unless they have a large enough client base that has older model vehicles. Really is a shame because the dealerships will then have the market cornered and prices will really skyrocket!
  4. Thanks for the feedback. Now for the funny part. The dealer also said I needed a new cabin filter. To replace that was going to be $75+. No thanks, I'll wait on that. Joke! As a married 46 y.o. woman with two young girls who has always preferred fixing things when I can, I quickly discovered after googling replacing cabin filter in 2010 Ford Edge, that I could do it myself. It cost me $13 and 10 minutes of my time. This is the reason I can't stand dealerships...the markup on their work and parts is insane. Exactly the reason I will take my "new" vehicle to my trusted mechanic unless it's a warranty issue. \
  5. Greetings ALL! After 13 years, our 1999 Ford "Exploder" Limited (146,000 miles) needed too much work to keep (over $4000) so we traded it in for a 2010 Ford Edge Limited with about 18,000 miles from a dealership. We had our mechanic check it out prior to the purchase and it checked out great. It's just about loaded minus navigation and DVD, and after much research we felt the price was reasonable, albeit a deal too good to be true. Let's just say I'm a skeptic and trust nobody and always wondering where the catch is. I hope that this truly is a good deal. The Carfax checked out but I know that they can miss things especially when they aren't reported. Anyway, it's been about 2 weeks now and we noticed a slight vibration when braking so I took it to our local dealership. They told me the front rotors needed to be machined? The cost-$167. Anyone have any suggestions? Wouldn't it be best and more cost effective to simply replace the front rotors?
