Thanks Haz for the video, didn't know that the Flex & MKT were built along side the Edge/MKX, anyway, I think I would be good at the inspector job, at the 0:57 mark in the video, you can see a Flex leaving but its rear wiper is stopped at a pretty high angle, no way that's normal. Makes you wonder, if such an obvious thing goes unnoticed in such a video, who knows how many other hidden things are wrong not caught by QA/QC. Seriously, Quality Control at Ford needs a refresh. Edit, screenshot attached.

The other day I noticed that all four doors had rough edges on the top & bottom of the door latch. They look like they were hit by a sharp thing. Never noticed them before & they are on all 4 doors. The top one is bigger than the one below. There is nothing on the other side were the door closes to explain it. Anyone has something similar? Looking at it now, could these be welding spots? They sure to look like a possible future rust area.

2011+ Edge Limited & Sport & all MKX models have acoustic front side glass, so this also adds to the difference in sound deadening between a SE/SEL Edge and an MKX.

I tried Teflon SHIELD® and they're great in the rain, don't know about snow though.

It is not normal. What year & model is your Edge? Does it have MyFord Touch? If yes, is it updated? Tried to reset it?

Will do, thanks.

It is NOT normal. Definitely take it to the dealer to get it fixed.

Yes. I know I have a problem, but since it still passes Ford's test procedure, I cannot get it fixed now. Have to wait till it gets worse to fail the test.

A suggestion to anyone facing this problem, try a master reset and/or a battery cable disconnect for 10-15 minutes to reset all the electronics.

See this video:

The problem is that Ford's way of testing the booster for vacuum leaks is to wait 10 minutes after shutting the engine off, if vacuum is present, booster is fine. I remember in most cars, vacuum would remain for at lease a day. With my MKX, currently barely getting an hour, maybe less, I don't usually notice it because I remote start it 90% of the time, but it is slowly failing. Procedure is listed in page 15 (point 7) in attached document which I got from this forum. Ford Edge Brakes Info.pdf

If you mean the sunglass holder with map lights, just pull it from the back side (towards the rear of the car). It will come out, there are no screws holding it.

Well, Ford is now willing to take the risk, the 2015 Mustang will show each tire's pressure.

From the owners manual, the following messages appear on the instrument cluster: CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOONDisplayed when the engine oil life remaining is 10% or less. OIL CHANGE REQUIREDDisplayed when the oil life left reaches 0%.

Checking the Grand Cherokee's website, it doesn't offer cooled seats. It has available "ventilated seats". Simple fans. Ford/Lincoln has "cooled" seats that actually cool the sear, not just blow air. Taycon: In 2013, Ford changed to a hard button for the 4-way flasher. Was watching the how-to video for the lockpick installation and noticed how simple it was to remove the panel and started wondering if a panel from a 2013 (with the hard button) would work in a 2011.

The MKX has only a few features more than an Edge. The aforementioned cooled seats, adaptive HID headlights, THX and the leather covered dash. The main advantage of the MKX over the Edge is you can get it loaded with the 3.7L Engine. As for MFT, the reason for its shortcomings, in my opinion, are from Ford's management. To be honest, you would expect that Ford would have its people use the vehicles the final design is sold to consumer, but it just does show. I mean who ever approved the capacitive 4-way flasher button?? Also, how come is the MFT/MLT screen a resistive display, requiring pressure to register inputs while the buttons below it are capacitive working while barely touching them!! I consider myself up to date on tech and sometimes find using those capacitive buttons awkward, especially the volume/fan sliders (supposedly Lincoln upgrades!). Back to topic, I rented a 2011 GC back in 2011 (when the latest generation first debuted) before I got the MKX, and honestly, it did NOT feel premium at all! It was ok, but not great (though it was just above the basic model) & the v6 engine with the old 5 speed was slow. Since I really don't go off-road, there was no reason to choose a GC over an Edge/MKX.

What phone do you have, was it updated recently? If its an Android & you usually keep Bluetooth on all the time, like I do, usually turning Bluetooth off then on cures it. If that doesn't work, try re-pairing the phone. Make sure to un-pair Sync from your phone, and delete your phone from Sync. Then Pair them. If that still doesn't fix it, try restarting Sync (pull fuse/connector, reboot app or disconnect battery), finally you can Master Reset Sync.

Physically, it should fit. But you will probably need to do the wiring for the signal LEDs, My 2011 (May'11 production) does NOT have the wiring for it & wouldn't expect any 2011 modle to have them.

Factory size is 245/60R18, with a 60 not 65 aspect ratio. That's for the 18" wheel size.

Remember, when a part is replaced, you get a 12month/12k miles warranty on it. So even if the bumper to bumper warranty expired you might still be covered for the latch.

Bahrain & other GCC countries are considered severe. Mainly because of the hotter weather & severe city cycle driver. Too much stop & go and it is normal to drive high speeds for short distances. A typical 10-15 minute commute can easily envolve many 0-62 mph accelerations. Ford's oil life monitor can get you 10k miles (16k km), so the recommended severe interval is recommended at half the distance, 5k miles (8k km). Hot weather means it is quite normal to see 120 ℉ in the summer, and our very cold winter is not less than 50℉.

More Money!!! That why! They are STEALERSHIPS!!! The Middle East owners manual specifically mentions 8k.

If I only cared for the factory warranty, I would only do the bare minimum as the manual, which I usually do.

Yes, like what ls973800 said, he has an extended warranty with additional terms & conditions. Unfortunately, here in the Arabian Gulf Countries (GCC) labor is cheap, but dealers are even bigger stealers than those in the USA having to do so called "Full Service" maintenance on new vehicles (usually oil+filter+inspections) at higher rates (100+ USD) and at more frequent intervals!

The reason for one replacement, I believe, is that there was a certain batch (rather a large one) that had this defect. I would expect the replacements to be of newer batches such as those installed in newer Edges/MKX not included in the extended warranty. In any case, my understanding, if the original warranty is still valid, it would be replaced under it & you still have the extended warranty. Also, when the new part is installed, it still has a standard (12 month/12K mile) if the original B2B warranty is expired.
