    How about checking the alignment first? Usually alignment shops point out worn suspension parts because they wont be able to correctly align the suspension.

    Octane rating method is different, US uses AKI while GCC countries use RON methods for indicated fuel octane ratings. GCC 97/98 octane is equivalent to ~92/93 in US GCC 95 octane is equivalent to ~90 in US GCC 90/91 octane is equivalent to ~87 in US It is very common here for people to misunderstand the different octane ratings & they would thing that 90 is much better than the manufacturer recommended minimum of 87 while they are really the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating

    As far as I know, the bolt pattern is different in the 2015, so Explorer wheels do not fit.

    1- Driving habits & traffic. We have a lot of stop & go. For example, for a 3 mile trip, you can easily go from 0-60mph 3-4 times because of the many signals and/or roundabouts. 2- Heat. Which also causes a lot of engine idling for A/C to keep interiors cool when waiting even for long periods. 3- This is only my guess, since we do live in the 3rd world, I don't expect the fuel energy content is up to standards as there is no body to check or ensure fuel grades are ok.

    Thanks for pointing that out. I actually searched before posting and did not fine it but found this early review: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/17552-car-and-driver-review-out-on-2015-edge/ Perhaps a mod can delete this post or merge it with the other one as it was posted earlier.

    http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2015-ford-edge-sport-27l-ecoboost-test-review 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds. 1/4 mile in 14.2 seconds @ 98 mph. Highlights:

    You should also state if you have a FWD or AWD Edge. Also remember that octane rating method is different, UAE/GCC 95 octane is equivalent to 90 in US while 98 in UAE is equivalent to 93. US uses AKI method while GCC countries use RON. Furthermore, I have always noted fuel economy here (GCC) is always much worse than what people get in US. I get between 15.5 & 18 MPG (US gallons by the way = 3.785 liters) with my 2011 3.7L AWD MKX. In Doha we have extreme stop & go driving.

    Thanks a lot. Here is a PDF version: TSB 15-0047 - Shift to Park or Transmission not in Park Message – Discharged Battery Due to Shift to Park Light On - Unable to Remove IKT.pdf

    13171 is version 3.6.2 which is the latest version of MyFord Touch for models up to 2013 (if I remember correctly). 2014 & newer have version 3.7.

    Actually it is not that hard! They can connect the License to the SD Card which, as far as it is known till now, is not possible to copy or duplicate!!!

    When MFT debuted back in 2010 for the 2011 model, there was a lot of talk that Navigation would be an add on option by simply buying & inserting an SD card. Many customers, including those who post in this forum, were told by Ford Dealers that Navigation could be added later on only to be disappointed. Even if Ford did not state it, as it might have been speculation by some reviewers and/or salespeople that was spread on the internet, Ford did NOT make it clear at the time. To know now that adding Nav is a simple software issue (which Ford denied many times ago through their reps in Forums) is just a continuation of Ford's mess-up with MFT.

    Drpepper, if your dealer couldn't fix it with the TSB provided above, I believe you'd need to look for a different dealer!

    I have no idea of another version, but I just realized that since you have a 2015, shouldn't your version be 3.7?
  15. omar302
    Did you try to do a Master Reset? It usually clears things better than a restart.
  16. omar302
    Only AWD vehicles as it is the part responsible to send output to the rear wheels.
  17. omar302
    Take it to your dealer, they should try a reflash, if it doesn't work, I believet hey should change the APIM. You have a 5 year extended warrantyo n the APIM (software & hardware) with unlimited mileage.

    MyKey is a standard feature. If that's the case, you would need an Admin key to un-program the MyKey.

    An updated, I found a post on an Explorer forum with similar center stack where a member stated that dealer replaced it with a new with a hard button for the Hazards instead of capacitive. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3436512&postcount=7

    This is the first review I read for the 2015 Edge Sport showing 0-60 mph time. 5.7s is very good indeed. That is the only part of the review I actually cared for. I agree with the others, they should have picked a 2.0 SEL or Titanium to make it a fair comparison, similarly equipped to the others & would have faired well in terms of price, performance, ride & MPG. A loaded 2.0 Titanium with 19" wheels which has more features than the Murano (Auto Park, Hands free liftgate, 2nd row Inflatable seat belts) is still ~ $500 less than the tested Muran (neck to neck with the optional 3.5L Engine) Selecting the Sport model & then saying the ride was harsh is not fair. Also, regarding MFT, I also have a 2013 Nissan Altima with the 8" Nav/infotainment screen (should be similar to the Murano's), and even though it is faster than the MFT, I still prefer Ford's MFT as it is still smarter & can do more compared to Nissan's.

    I couldn't get the TSB in PDF, but I posted it earlier in text format: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/15380-ambient-lighting-14-sport-fwd/?do=findComment&comment=117117 Please do update us on this as I have the same issue (and for Texts ringer).
  22. omar302
    Just to add my input, had the "loose" drivers seat & after nearly 4-5 "fix" attempts by the dealer they replaced the seat track & the seat is now as it should be. P/N of the ordered part was BT4Z-7861711-D
  23. omar302
    I am sure you have this covered, but even the best can miss some simple things, maybe you have the MyKey feature enabled & you hit the MyKey top speed of 80 mph?
  24. omar302
    I think that is how the 1st generation is designed. Also AWD should have no effect in this case because the Edge is FWD based, so the front wheels are always driving.

    Congratulations, Ford listened and added the button in the 2015 Edge.
