    Attached is the letter clearly stating 5 years for Ford vehicles & six years for Lincoln vehicles, it also clearly states the warranty is automatically transferred to subsequent owners. R12M02 Warranty Extension - APIM.pdf
  2. omar302
    The extended warranty on the APIM is actually 5 years for MyFord Touch & 6 years for MyLicoln Touch, regardless of mileage.

    May 2011 build 2011 MKX. And it actually calculates the best case scenario, 100% life equals 10,000 miles. That's why I reset it to 50% at oil changes so I'd get the reminder after 5000 miles.
  4. omar302
    I know how it is supposed to work, but out of experience, it ALWAYS worked on mileage basis (maybe time). Even in our extreme summer months (120+ Fahrenheit), Oil life percentage was consistent with the normal commuting schedule (1% oil life per 100 miles driven). Since Ford recommends 5000 mile (8000 km) service intervals where I live, I reset the oil life to 50% & ALWAYS get the reminder at EXACTLY 5000 miles regardless of the extreme summer or mild winter months. As a matter of fact, even regardless of driving style as in the summer we have the habit of long engine idling & frequent long duration remote starts to cool down the interiors, and again the "IOLM" always goes by mileage.

    I believe this is you issue.
  6. omar302
    The oil life monitor is simply a timer that measures mileage & time (and maybe other things). As stated by akirby, the recommendation by Ford for normal driving is 16000 km or 12 months (whichever comes first). 100% oil life will represent this normal range (16000 km / 12 months). If you want to go other than normal schedule, like extremely hot weather, (severe duty) you can go for 8000 km or 6 month service intervals, in this case reset the oil life to 50% and it will come up after 8k or 6 months.

    As per the leaflet, "Trailer Sway Control" uses the technologies of Ford’s AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control) to provide an additional layer of confidence and control while towing., so it seams it is only a software/algorithm added without any additional hardware and/or sensors. Even the yaw rate, lateral acceleration and gyroscopic roll rate sensors are originally part of Ford's Stability & Roll control systems.
  8. omar302
    Yes, it could be, or the signal driving the servo could be wrong making it an electronic error & not mechanical.
  9. omar302
    The speedometer needle is driven by an electric motor/servo. Edit: Here is a cluster were you can see the back of it.
  10. omar302
    The cluster is only electronically connected. There are only electric connectors at the back. The speedo needle is only electronically controlled. Hence why both should have the same reading. They are merely 2 output forms for the same input.
  11. omar302
    Confirmed. 100 km/h & needle at exactly 100 km/h.
  12. omar302
    The OP's issue is the difference between the speedo needle indicated speed vs. the cruise control set speed. In my opinion, the needle is not calibrated correctly. It is definitely not right. Will try to confirm it with my car. Also note that it will not have any relation to the tire size. The difference is in 2 outputs of the cluster itself.

    On a 2013 Edge I recently drove with 'S' mode, other than the different shifting characteristic, I also noticed that it only went to 5th gear. Shifting back to 'D' at highway speeds showed the upshift with the RPM going down. Might also be the case for 2015s, if so, you'd definitelyg get less mileage if you used S mode so often.
  14. omar302
    That is the best I was able to find: http://www.motorshow.me/GalleryDocs/Doc4844.pdf

    As per the owners manual, the headlight replacement bulb for the 2013 Edge is HIR2, also referred to as 9012. This should be without a cover at the tip of the bulb. (Example) It is a single filament bulb, but the projector in the Edge has a moving part/shield that allows high/low beam function from the same bulb. My guess is that the replacement bulb you got is a 9006, which is very similar to the HIR2 with slight differences and can be installed in the same housing. The 9006 has a cover at the tip of the bulb is inferior to the HIR2 (less output).
  16. omar302
    @Vortechtral Can post the bulb numbers? old & new? You probable got a different bulb, even if they look the same (9006 vs. 9005 or H11 vs. H9) Also what year is your Edge/MKX? I don't recall any year the Edge/MKX had a dual beam headlight bulb.

    don't forget to give a review after installing it. How much was it for it?
  18. omar302
    It was repaired. Thank God since I just had them installed in July. They used an umbrella looking patch that is installed from inside the tire. 3 days now & seems fine.
  19. omar302
    Got a puncture (screw), thankfully air leak was slow & I didn't have to use the spare. While repairing it, had all wheels balanced (road force), and I found some interesting (not good) things!! Puncture: Screw: Front Right Spring insulator: Left Spring insulator for comparison: Rear Left brake: Rear Right brake for comparison:
  20. omar302
    Make sure it is screwed in tightly.

    They tried to fix this on my MKX, it is ~80% better. Still some slight smell is present, though not nearly as bad as before & I might be confusing it for outside air since the TSB involves reprogramming of the Climate Control possibly to turn off recirculation during hard acceleration. But when I tried to glance through the paper work, it seems they applied a newer TSB (starts with 15-XXXX) and it also involved replacing the exhaust tips with a newer version that has the exhaust gas outlet exiting downwards but with the chrome "oval" tip still looking the same. It is now a truly fake exhaust tip. Note: I recently saw a 2015 MKX in a showroom & it still had the old type exhaust tip, so this TSB might be very new & not in production vehicle.
  22. omar302
    It is called a bug deflector or bug shield. The 2011+ model will not fit the 2007-2010 models because the hood is different. Ebay has a few offerings (here is an OEM)
  23. omar302
    It is probably Exhaust smell. Check the TSB in this post.
  24. omar302
    Already offered on the Focus & Feista ST. http://www.autoblog.com/2014/12/27/ford-racing-ecoboost-reflash-warranty/

    As far as I know, this part has to be ordered & would not be readily available (a newer version with a physical button, so not the same p/n). You can go used or try LevittownFordSuperCenter to get a new one.
