The 2.7L was designed for duty in the heavier F-150 that can tow much more than its weight! The transmission/PTU in the Edge Sport has long been used with the more powerful 3.5L Ecoboost engine in the heavier Flex Ecoboost since 2010. I wouldn't worry about their durability in the Edge Sport!

Paddle Shifters in non-sport trims
omar302 replied to lakeguy77's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
I tried, they didn't want & couldn't research it more. Maybe you'll get better results. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/14777-wiring-for-paddle-shifters-sport-non-sport/?fromsearch=1 -
As you said, it depends on the outside temperature reading. I don't know the outside tempreture values upon which the seats cool or heat. But searching online found this, for other Fords, though it might not be applicable to other models: From the 2011 Ford HD trucks:

Also, the PTU is covered by the powertrain warranty which is good for 5 years or 60k miles.

If you look at the 2011-2015 Owners manual of the MKX, it shows the difference in light pattern between Halogen & HID. In the 2015 Edge Owners Manual there is only 1 pattern shown and it is similar to the Halogen pattern in the MKX. For color & that bluish line, don't take my photos as a guide due to the cellphone camera I am using, the bluish line/cutoff is there. I have a 2011 MKX with factory HID.

On the topic of HID light pattern, it seems Ford is using a different projector on the MKX (maybe other Lincolns also) versus Ford vehicles. On Ford (seen it on the Explorer, Edge & Mustang), the HID pattern looks like a Halogens pattern only brighter, on the MKX it has a clear cutoff with the right side going up. The light on the MKX also shines considerably wider on the road. I recently rented a Nissan Altima with HID & it also had a similar pattern as the MKX. This is the pattern from my OEM HID lights (sorry for the low quality pictures):

Car does not recognise keys
omar302 replied to chris275's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
I know I am late to this, but OP did not mention trying the other key fob! Shouldn't replacement of the key fob battery be the 1st thing to try? -
2014 keypad & myford touch pin change

The MFT screen should allow changing of the user defined code. From my experience, if you selected to erase the user defined code on the MFT screen, you won't be able to enter a new user defined code. I don't remember exactly how I was then able to get it back, but I think it was after a Master Reset that MFT allowed me to enter the code again. The same "bug" is also present on the 2015 Expedition with MFT (tried it with version V3.7 installed). -
Good luck. Keep us updated & how they fix it.

I think the base model didn't get the select shift.other models, SEL, Limited & Sport all have select shift & sport mode (2013+).

2013 Ford Edge SEL does not have sport mode
omar302 replied to chuckdonline's topic in 2013 Edge & MKX
Sorted out here I guess http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/10908-transmission-sport-mode-misnomer/?fromsearch=1 -
Compare the thickness to the old filter. It's the first time I read about someone complaining of its thickness. I know that installing the filter is a little bit difficult, make sure the tabs are in all the way before pressing the cover down. There should be force/pressure required when putting the clips back, otherwise how would it seal?

From my experience with frameless wipers on the Edge/MKX, they don't contour well to the windshield. Think of it as the windshield is curved too much for the wipers make full contact on the glass. Go back to regular wipers or those "hybrid" designs where the wiper looks like a frame less design but actually has a frame beneath the outer shell.

I don't think it's normal. Probably a PCM reprogramming is required. Just report it to your dealer.

I would lean towards #2 due to the lower mileage. If they'reb oth 2011, check the build dates, the newer the better as issues were being sorted out. Many TSBs are applicable to early build 2011s. That might help you take a decision if your still debating.

#1 is the Jeep "Grand Cherokee", not the "Cherokee". It has the ZF 8 speed train, RWD based, sized similar to the Edge. It can be optioned up to be much more luxurious than the Edge or sportier. In my opinion, unless you really need the extra off road capabilities, for similarly priced models, the Edge is the better vehicle.
-
Not me, neither did I here about it before. Probably an isolated issue.

With only 1 key, you need either a dealer or a locksmith with proper tool to program an additional key. I'd also suggest they erase all old keys.

Ford Panoramic roofs are not the same. I see 3 different types: 1- Sunroof with additional glass extending to the back seat. You'll notice that the front (moving) glass panel is smaller than the rear, and when it opens, it slides under the rear glass panel. All Ford/Lincoln models with panoramic sunroofs have this except the Edge, MKX (<2016) & MKZ (2013+). Edit: I think the 2015+ F150 now has the both glass panels nearly the same size, but the front panel slides under the rear panel. 2-The "vista" roof, where the front glass panel is larger than the tears. Here when it opens, the front glass slides over the rear glass & would actually open over the roof. As far as I know, this is only present in the 2007+ Edge & 2007-2015 MKX. The 2016 MKX uses type 1 unlike the new Edge. 3- The full roof, which only the MKZ has (2013+). The whole roof is one big glass panel, when it opens, it slides over the rear window.

If memory serves, if you have the 3.5 V6, then you have the standard skirts. With the 2.0 Ecoboost, skirts are different. Edit: Also Sport models have different skirts.

Motortrend SUV of the year issue - January
omar302 replied to GT500R's topic in Articles, News & Reviews
I'd guess it is also because of the tranny. As far as I remember, the torque limit was 350 lb-ft for the 6F55 transmission. Which was supposed to be the reason why the FWD based 3.5 Ecoboost engines were all limited to 350lb-ft of torque. I was surprised to see them announce the MKX with 335hp & 380lb-ft, more than even the RWD based F-150 (325/375). So it the PCM might be cutting off power considerable at shift points to protect the transmission. -
Glad your ok. Yes it was bad, but I wouldn't call "Lethal". Anyway, if you don't need the "kick" option, I'd guess the easiest solution is to disconnect the sensors under the car.

AWD will disconnect (turn off) when the spare wheel is installed. From the Owners manual:
