It's a 2014 model, the struts should still be fine. Most probable cause is that the a button (dash, cargo or fob) was mistakenly pressed for closing the door. Also note that the lift gate an Obstacle detection feature, from the manual:

Yes. It is normal.

Can't say for the tranny or steering, you should go by what the Owners Manual specifies for your specific model year. mact is an expert with the Edge, especially the early models, he put more than 250k miles on his.

Ford recommends 10W-30 in our region (Arabian Gulf / Middle East) where temperatures in the summer easily exceed 120F.

As per the TSB: So the 2008 model would not be covered by this TSB. -
Setting up a replacement key fob
omar302 replied to msawdust's topic in 2015+ Edge & MKX Generation II
The relevant section of the manual: http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/OwnerManual/Home/Content?bookCode=O31263&languageCode=EN&marketCode=US&vCode=&vFilteringEnabled=True&subTitleSelected=G1675928&chapterTitleSelected=G1675927&topicHRef=G1728925&viewTech=IE&div=f I know it is for a 2016, but should be similar for the 2015. -

'14 Passenger 12V power point removal
omar302 replied to Mustangmike72's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
I don't know why they still state this, but at least since my 2008 Taurus & now 2011 MKX didn't get their Radio presets reset on a battery disconnect/change! -
I never tried dimming mine, so don't know if its a common bug. Are you on the latest MyFord Touch update? Version 3.8? If yes, try to disconnect the car's battery for ~10 minutes to reset the electronics. If that doesn't work try a Master Reset for the Sync (center screen settings). If all these don't work, then I'd say you'll need to visit a dealer.

'14 Passenger 12V power point removal
omar302 replied to Mustangmike72's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
You need a special tool to remove the socket from the front, without needing to remove panel. I faced a similar problem for the rear (2nd row) power point. I removed the whole trim piece & even then it was quite difficult to remove the socket. I remember I had to break it off. Just shows how life is so much easier with the right tools. I found this tool on Amazon, I remember the Ford tool looks similar, but I can't be sure. http://www.amazon.com/Dorman-56457-Cigarette-Lighter-Removal/dp/B00G3YYSLE -
The latest maps version should work, but it would be better to have latest Sync update from Ford's website.

Opening the liftgate with a dead battery
omar302 replied to sscutchen's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Never thought about it myself, but a very important issue. I also keep my charging cables next to the spare wheel. Just checked the Owners Manual & there seems to be a way, will need to see it in car to confirm. -
Like what "WWWPerfA_ZN0W" stated, may be the Battery Monitoring System requires resetting. There is an another to reset it yourself: From this post: Carry out the Battery Monitoring System (BMS) Reset using the scan tool after the battery is connected. If the BMS Reset is not carried out, it takes approximately 8 hours for the Body Control Module (BCM) to learn the new battery state of charge. During this 8 hour period, the vehicle must be undisturbed, with no doors opened or keyless entry button presses. If the vehicle is used before the BCM is allowed to learn the new battery state of charge, engine off load shedding can still occur and a message may be displayed."

The fuel door on newer Fords, including the 2015+ Edge, open by "pushing the door in" so it comes out, unlike the order ones that have a lip to pull the door open. So I'd guess this piece is for the mechanism that allows the door to "push" in & out.

Question for Todd, Our Ford Service Rep.
omar302 replied to Larry's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Yes, mine was replaced under warranty, though it was still the original 4-year Lincoln warranty. But the extended warrant did show up on the dealer's system when they checked my car. I am living in Qatar and they will honor all warranties listed on my car or any other Ford/Lincoln vehicle sold in the GCC area. -
13N02 - Extended Warranty Coverage on Brake Booster
omar302 replied to omar302's topic in Recalls, TSBs & Warranty
Dear Mohamed, The dealer is trying to cheat you. You should make a complaint to the consumer protection agency in your country or call Ford Middle East in Dubai. -
I can confirm that for the 2011, both pieces are made of foam. I would also think they're for sound as they are pretty thick.
-
Congrats, very nice ride. Hope you enjoy it to the fullest.
-
Sport mode is simply a program with some different parameters like allowing the tranny to hold gear more (shift at a higher RPM). There has never been any mention that it might have any adverse affect nor would Ford have added the feature if it did.
-
Don't have a real answer, but the 2011+ engine is not exactly the same,so not sure if the cover would mount. Note that for the 2011+ the engine cover is actually 2 pieces. You'd probably be better going for the MKX cover (2007-2010).

Older generation (2007-2014) Edge/MKX had the low fuel light first come on at exactly 80 km to empty, then at 40km, then at 20km & finally at 0. (Not sure of miles since I use metric but probably 50, 25 & 12 miles). Also, whenever the car is restarted with less than 80km to empty the low fuel warning would come on. The same behavior was also in the 2008 Taurus I had & on a friend's 2013 Explorer.

The Edge already has it in the left cluster display, should be under driver assist.
