  1. Never heard of such an issue. Though there was supposed to be a feature with the Ford electric powered steering that compensated for wind drift, but never heard of this before, it goes against safer & more economical driving. If it is still under warranty, then just go to the dealer. Otherwise, first try as recommended above. Then try rotating the wheels (left/right) to make sure that it is not due to the new tyres. Finally, an alignment at a different shop. That's what I would do.
  2. AFFECTED VEHICLES Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates Edge 2018 Oakville May 3, 2017 through March 8, 2018 Expedition 2018 Kentucky March 14, 2017 through March 19, 2018 REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM In all of the affected vehicles, an error in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software or Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) configuration will prevent the Automatic Engine Idle Shutdown feature from automatically shutting down the ignition and engine after it has been idling for an extended period. The ignition and engine can still be shut down using the push button ignition switch. SERVICE ACTION Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to reprogram the PCM on Edge vehicles using Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) version 110.01 or higher and reconfigure the IPC on Expedition vehicles using the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS). This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. Details in this link.
  3. Welcome to the forums 12amNSX & gspald.
  4. As far as i know, on the stock Navigation shows in the cluster. But I do not have Sync 3 and have no experience with it. Even though my Edge is a 2016, being an Export model, it has Sync 2 (MyFord Touch). Sync 3 came to our region starting with 2017 models.
  5. You will need to modify the As-Built Data (ABD) for the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). Refer to this sheet mod for the fusion at the bottom under "Dual Screen Cluster "Right Screen Modifications".
  6. I have done this around 2 weeks ago, but just got around to posting it. I replaced the dead pedal with one matching the Aluminum Brake & Accelerator pedals. I found this (item#282805266654) in eBay & requested the seller to sell only the dead pedal since the Sport already has Aluminum brake & accelerator pedals from the factory. Very simple to install, just pry out the old one (pull it straight out), transfer the three (3) pushpins from the old dead pedal to the new one & install (push in) the new one. One of the pins did not come out with the old dead pedal so I had to remove from the floor separately.
  7. There was a thread about it, but note that also the side taillights are also different. They will also need to be replaced to match the illumination of the center light.
  8. During the 1st generation, 2007-2010, the Edge & MKX only had the 3.5L engine while the Mazda CX-9 had the 3.7L with more torque, a different transmission and the Mazda is a 3 row crossover that is bigger & heavier than the Edge. So it does put more load on the PTU.
  9. What was the original value? Tried it on a 2014 Limited Edge but it didn't work. Original value was "3".
  10. Yes, you only use the reservoir cap to fill coolant. It is an expansion tank system where the whole cooling system including the reservoir are under pressure.
  11. This is the thread: https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/22064-smart-charging-usb-ports/
  12. From your linked article, this PTU originally debuted on the Jeep Cherokee, searching online and there seems to be a similar story with PTU failures! https://www.google.com/search?q=2014+jeep+cherokee+power+transfer+unit+problems&oq=2014+jeep+Cherokee+ptu&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l2.10060j0j4&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 Now, again I suggest a vote type survey on this forum, just remember that people come to forums only when they have problems, so if out of 500k sold Edges (as an example) , and 100 had PTU, you'll see 100 posts of PTU problems, but the rest will not post about not having an issue. Also, from that Jeep PTU issues, this model only came in 2014, while the Edge from 2007.
  13. I suggest to make a survey amongst forum members to get an idea of the percentage of those who had an issue with the PTU. Same for the other "common" issues. Note that for the PTU, Ford did offer an extended warranty (10Y/120K Miles) for the Middle East where there is much higher temperatures & high speed driving in addition to crossovers being marketed as SUVs and driving on sand dunes is much more common than in the US. Also replacement PTUs came with drain plugs & on 2013 or 2014 all PTUs came with drain plugs from the factory. Meaning Ford was trying to address the issue. If I'm not mistaken, there are also at least 6 or 7 versions (incremental improvements) for the standard PTU.

    Welcome to the forums and congrats on the new ride.
  15. The rain sensor is on the windshield behind the rear view mirror, near the center but to the passenger side. It is under a black plastic cover. As far as I know, if the sensor is removed from the windshield it will require a new clear silicone adhesive when re-installing it.
  16. How is the difference in ride? Also, with the 20", you have stock size tires (245/50/R20)?
  17. Didn't the 2010 Edge Sport come from the factory with blacked out Headlights & Taillights? I mean blacked-out in the manner described in post #6? I am sure you can find a good set on ebay.
  18. I once had a MotorCraft battery that had a cracked case that caused the positive terminal to corrode very fast, when I took it to the dealer for replacement they still connected their tester & told me it passed the test!
  19. Looking at the current performance vehicles from Ford, the Edge ST will be the quickest (0-60 & 1/4 mile) Ford with an ST badge. That is until the Explorer ST comes, which with the 3.0L & 10-speed is still unknown how fast could be. From my memory, ST has always been about half-way sports vehicles, rather than full sports as the RS. Still, an Edge ST with the 3.0L would have been nice. At least now with the 2.7L makes me happier with my Sport .
  20. I have been using a new tire brand for a few months now that recently have become available in USA. Vredestein Ultrac Vortis, made in in Holland, and I find them relatively good, the reviews on them from EU are favorable. Though they are summer tires.
  21. Welcome to the forums & congrats on the new ride.
  22. They should've put in the 400 HP 3.0L engine.
  23. My 2016 also had the Auto lock enabled with no setting in the instrument cluster to disable it. Using ForScan & following the IPC type 2 sheet for the 2016+ Explorer & 2G Fusion Sheet (don't remember correctly) I was able to add the setting to the menu & then disable it. I was also able to add the "Auto Re-lock" setting that re-locks the doors after 45 seconds if you unlock it remotely but don't open any door. This post has the mod to disable Autolock on a 2017 Edge. But I believe that enabling the IPC mod, changing the setting in the cluster settings will change the corresponding body control module.
