This look like fins to cause air turbulence, or maybe since the air is actually coming from the Turbos, they are meant to correct some turbulence due to the air coming from a high speed compressor.

The 2011 MKX also opens the VISTA shades & vents the glass. Which I can disable it & only keep the windows.

Something to also consider with selection of the Edge: Memory seats are only available in Limited & Sport models. Very useful if 2 drive the car.

Do you mean the fans keep running for ~10 seconds after the engine is shut off? I am not sure that any Edge generation does this, the 2011-2014 definitely doesn't. If that is the case, hopefully someone with a 2007 will chime in to confirm. It might be an electrical issue or a bad Relay causing the fan to remain on.

Highway miles will definitely be worse, especially if you go with AWD. If you don't need AWD, then by all means skip it. It adds weight & means you extra stuff to worry about failing (PTU). The Limited is the only Edge that had factory HID option, so if it's only the wood you don't like, you can cover it up. Also, consider the MKX, they are basically a more luxurious version of the Edge but with the 3.7L engine. Since it's Lincoln, depreciation would be higher so you can get one at a price close to the Edge, and they have a longer warranty period.

Aftermarket should work if they are specified for your year, like the ones & linked to in my above post.

I can't say, I don't have a definite answer. My guess is that OEM 2011 specific sensors wouldn't work on your 2007.

The display on the main screen is for outside temperature. Since the outside temp was 76 & your set temp was 74, I am more inclined to thing that the cabin's actual temp was near or a little below 74 & hence the hot air at the beginning. The system determines the cabin temp from a sensor behind the dash at the driver's right knee location, the area that has a small cent opening.

2007 models used band style sensors. 2011+ use stem mounted sensors. Though they work on the same frequencies, they are different. Found an eBay listing for aftermarket replacements for the 2007 that changes them from band style to stem mounted, but the compatibility list doesn't show any new models, leaving me to believe they don't interchange.

Cruise control in hilly/mountain roads will reduce your fuel economy. From Edmunds:

It has been a while now, but Ford apparently decided to NOT offer the updates on the website, so regardless of the current version you have, it will always show that you have the latest. You have to go to a dealer for the official updates.

As the saying goes,

From the owner's manual:

This should mean to calibrate the compass, for some reason it is entering calibration mode. Don't remember reading on this before, try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes to reset the electronics, it may just sort it out. Also could be something causing the compass to go out of calibration, like magnet, though I am not sure were is the compass located, maybe on or behind the rear view mirror.

Those having the issue, do you press & release the button or press & hold it? In my MKX (though an older generation) you have to press for a second or so.

I just checked the program, it is clear as I suggested, the one-time repair under this program should be done after expiry of the original warranty:

If were to try and find a workaround, I'd check if the previous replacement was done during the original 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty, if it was, then I'd argue that the 1st replacement was supposed to be covered by the original warranty & that this replacement would be the 1st under the extended warranty.

You driver's light could be out due to a fuse, the left & right lights are wired to separate fuses. In the passenger compartment fuse panel: Fuse# 16 for right low beam Fuse# 17 for left low beam

Today I disconnected the battery to reset the electronics, since I live in an apartment & my car is in a shared parking lot, I manually locked the doors. When I returned & tried to open the door with the emergency key but it did not unlock!! It needed some WD-40 to get it to unlock, thankfully I was at home & not out in a real emergency that required the key! Moral of the story, check your door lock with the key as nowadays keys are rarely used.

@Mikelivingstrong Try a master reset or reseting the HVAC or disconnect the battery for ~10 minutes. Sometimes electronics act up.

BLIS is NOT plug & play. It needs a sensor/radar mounted in the rear bumper (1 for each side), plus wiring & programming. I am not saying it is possible, but it will surely be costly.

The chirp is from the horn? The MKZ has it from a different beeper, if your MKX is also from a beeper than I got it wrong!

The 2017 MKZ now uses a different tone for exterior lock/unlock confirmations. I thought that they changed all Lincoln models at the same time just like how they changed the key fobs to the newer design.

Kleber, also the part number you mentioned is for a 2010. The correct part for 2013 is AU5Z9C915B & it is cheaper. http://www.tascaparts.com/oe-ford/au5z9c915b

Why don't you buy it online from the US & have it shipped to you?
