Sounds good, If / when Ford credit answers I will post back

The lease on my 2016 Edge Titanium expires in April-17-2020 (my intentions are to either buy back the lease or extend for another year). My dealer, like most in my area, is closed due to Covid-19. Trying to call Ford credit the lines are busy for ever so I sent an email. I wonder if they don’t reply by April-27 what my options are.

Had a call last week from Ford Credit to remind me that my lease expires April-27 and I told them that I plan to buy back my lease and I asked can I do this process with another dealer? They said is better to go to the same dealer otherwise the new dealer will have to get authorization from the original dealer. Anyone knows why this authorization is required and what's about?

Unfortunately no one replied and I completely forgot about it.

The 2.0 is made of plastic, will do this project early summer

One more question guys When my lease expires and I buy back the lease, does the dealer get a commission from this transaction? My thinking is that he probably got his money when I first leased the car and at the end when I buy the lease he would get nothing and maybe he has no interest to do any paper work. If that’s the case, perhaps is better to arrange with Ford credit to pay them directly?

Wow...that’s really cool man, thanks for your time. And the Ford logo makes it look like an OEM job. The link you sent also is very useful, lots of ideas.

On my 2016 Edge Titanium 2.0L EcoBoost I’m thinking to spay paint the engine plastic cover, the one which sits at the top of the engine block and has access for the oil dip stick / oil fill. I noticed this cover is easily removable Has anyone done this? Good idea? It’s all about the looks and keeping things under the hood clean

Thanks Waldo for taking the time, I understand

I now understand akirby, thanks

How about the vehicle registration to transfer the ownership from Ford credit to my name? Does the dealer takes care of that also? I was told that I will have to go to a vehicle registration outlet to make the transfer and I may have to pay extra taxes like when you buy a used car

The lease on my 2016 Edge Titanium FWD expires April-2020 and among my options I consider to pay cash the residual value (CAD$17,000 + Tax) and keep the car. I only have 31,000km on it and I love my car which is in like new condition. I never done this before so I wonder what the procedure is. I leased the car from a Ford dealer so I assume that I can go to any Ford dealer to complete the transaction. Does it matter if I go to the same Ford dealer? Would the dealer make all required paper work to transfer ownership? Is there anything I should be aware?

That makes my original question harder to understand. So if the tires are not rotating where my TPMS system gets the readings to show them in my dash? As I said my winter tires have no TPMS sensors

Out of curiosity how the TPMS system works? Somehow I believe the sensors on each tire they need some kind of power to be able to send the signal. If that’s true then when the tires are removed from the car the sensors inside these tires should be dead?

Back in 2016 when I leased my new FWD Titanium Edge it came with the TPMS sensors installed in the 4 all season tires. My 4 winter tires do not have TPMS sensors and when I switch tires from summer to winter I store the original 4 season tires in my garage and next to my Edge (I do the change myself) So in the winter when I drive up to an approx. radius of 20 miles the TPMS system shows the "pressure" of my winter tires regardless if I stop/start the engine while out shopping. If I go further out of the 20 miles range the TPMS system shows nothing and I get a message (forget what exactly says but is related to having no air in my tires). Is this normal?

I downloaded the 2019 Edge owners manual to educate myself ahead of time and I read about it akirby, just a few new points to know, not a big deal.

Glad to hear the positive comments..... The negative comments I read were not related to Edge or any other manufacturer. The two I remember were both of stupid things people can do like.... person jumping out of car to jip to a store and left the car running, door open and the car rolled... or how you move the car with a dead battery and the gear selector on P Regardless, I’m an Edge man and my next one will be the 3rd since 2013

I’m just guessing the new rotary gear selector stated with the 2019 Edge. Do you have any good / bad comments about it. I will be looking at 2020 Edge when it arrives in Canada and I read some negative comments on the web about this new gear selector type

Thanks akirby for the heads up, guess I was too early and will wait to visit Ford in October. I see from the Titanium equipment list there are quite a few options I would like to have so it will be a difficult choice to switch to an SEL.

My FWD 2016 Edge Titanium lease will expire in 6 months and I’m looking for a new one. Prior to my 2016 Edge I had the 2013 Limited and I enjoyed both very much. Ford.ca does not have right now a 2020 Edge but they do have 2020 Explorer and some other models and I wonder if a 2020 Edge will be available perhaps later? I plan this time to get the SEL FWD to save some money. The only difference I see between the Titanium and SEL is the SEL does not have leather seats neither heated steering (which I don’t care that much) but the price difference between the 2 is approx. CAD$6,000. I priced the basic model for both on the web and I wonder if I missed something. Thanks

2016 Edge Titanium, 2WD: While I was driving yesterday I noticed the rear air vent (at the back of the center console) was blowing warm air and all front vents were blowing cold air like they should. At 100F exterior temperature I had set the AC at 64F for me and the wife had hers at 72F. I found this very unusual because I keep my little Shih-Tzu at the back and often I put my hand at the back vent to check the air is blowing at the right height and couple of day ago it was blowing cold air. Checking the Owners manual to see if there is a setting for that I found none. Is there a setting somewhere to correct the above problem?

I don’t agree brother, TPMS is a convenience and a safety for many and although I agree people for centuries got along fine without TPMS in todays fast pace world not too many of us has the time to check tires pressure like we used to do. It’s like the smart phones, Internet, smart TV’s and so on, people got along fine for centuries without these “conveniences” but today who will look in the yellow pages for a name? It’s called progress regardless if we like it or not. Just my opinion

Thanks guys that will do the trick

Back in April 2016 when I got my new Edge I bought from the dealer a set of wind / water deflectors for all windows. I find these deflectors indispensable for the Canadian weather since without them as soon as you crack the window open any rain water will come inside the cabin. WeatherTech which I would have preferred to buy these deflectors from didn’t have them at the time so I bought the ones made by Ford and which are stick-on. I never liked the Ford ones because they are paper thin and now the front passenger window one started the peel off and I think soon will fly away. Anyone knows how to remove these deflectors? It looks like the glue Ford is using to stick them to the exterior window frame is pretty strong and I’m afraid to force it in case it damages the finish
