  1. I had a 2013 Edge Limited with the 2.0L Ecoboost engine and after 32K km I never had a problem using regular gas. Same with my new 2016 Edge for 6200 km never had a problem until now. The owner’s manual says to use regular gas and that’s what I do. It’s not the fuel I got my appointment with the dealer for next Monday and they said since it’s very unusual to have engine problem on a new car they will keep the car all day for various tests. I will report back the results
  2. Yes both engine / trany fully warmed, I will check with the dealer. I'm very surprised on a new car to have engine problems
  3. On my 2016 Edge Titanium with 2.0 Ecoboost and 6200km I’m experiencing very rough idle speed every time I stop at a red light or anywhere else. If I shift to neutral then its ok. No problem accelerating or driving and plan to take it for service. I wonder if it’s a common problem on the 2016.
  4. I always use the keypad in the summer when I don’t have enough pockets, very convenient In the winter when I have tons of pockets I hardly use it I guess there must be something wrong with mine and I will have it checked in my first service.
  5. Its 4 months now I have my 2016 Edge Titanium and I must say it’s the best car I ever had, absolutely beautiful. The only annoying problem I have is with the Keyless entry keypad which I use often and a few times I was almost locked out. I have a 5 digits number to enter and although I enter it correctly, the door does not unlock always at the first try. Does anyone else has the same problem? Is there a particular way to punch the numbers? I know the manual says to key in the numbers slowly but this does not help
  6. Finally I ended up buying the ones from Ford (part #FT4Z-18246-A, it’s a kit for 4, CAD$132.18 + tax). You have no choice to get only the front ones which I wanted Very nice looking, sleek and the color identical to the doors trim (black), you can hardly notice them The installation instructions are pictorial and subject to misunderstanding but it took me less than 30 minutes to install all 4 of them. The kit includes everything you need (Scotch-Brite Pad, Alcohol prep pads and Adhesive Promoter). I think they are expensive for stick-ons but they are nice looking and if they don’t peel-off with the harsh weather I will be happy
  7. Thanks for the SYNC3 .PDF, thats the best I have seen so far I did subscribe to the owner.ford.com site but did not have a chance yet to explore it
  8. I agree with you folks, nowhere is mentioned to slide the screen to see the next functions. Now I will go and check all screens to see if I discover more goodies, lol
  9. This DID the trick ONEDGE16, wow, I dont have page 2 but looking on the screen I touched it and swept with my finger to the left and there I can see the extra icons for Ambient Light, WiFi, Vallet and one more which I forget.what it was. Now I can check all the other screens in the same way to see what else I can discover, LOL Much appreciated
  10. Thanks for the phone number, I will post back the results
  11. As I mentioned on the Sync3 screen under Settings, I have nothing with "vehicle" or "ambient lighting" On the instrument cluster I do have "vehicle" but under this screen there is nothing about "ambient lighting"
  12. I understand what you are saying but in my 2016 Edge I don’t have anything similar Yes I have Sync3 and on my screen when I touch the “Settings” I get 8 squares on the screen (Sound, Clock, Bluetooth, 911 Assist, Navigation, Mobile Apps, General and Voice Control) When I touch on the “General Square” I get: Language, Distance, Temperature, Touch Screen Beep, Auto System Updates, About, Software Licences and. Main Reset. There is nothing about Lights or Ambient Lights On the left instrument cluster I do have an entry for Lights but the only option on this entry is to adjust how many seconds the lights stay on after you open a door etc. The footwells and the bottom of the doors are lit when I open any door but when I close the doors all these lights go OFF. Thanks for the manual, its handy to have it on .PDF format
  13. Does the footwell lighting is included in the 2016 Titanium Edge? If so where is the control for it? My old 2013 Edge Limited had the control on the MFT screen and I could switch to 6 different colors. On the 2016 Titanium the MFT does not have anything for ambient lighting or lights
  14. Good to know but kind of late for me because the ones I ordered should arrive tomorrow. I loved the ones from Weathertech on my 2013 Edge, slim and a good fit. If I don’t like the ones I ordered hopefully I can return them and then I will wait for Weathertech
  15. Good to know they worked good for you, Since Weathertech does not have ones for either 2015 / 2016 Edge I found another place locally and placed an order for a set of 4 (I only wanted the front ones but I had no choice). He said they should be here in the next couple of days and they are not stick-ons, they fit tight like the Weathertech. Cost about CAD$120 + taxes for the set. I will post pictures when I get them on. I just dont know why Ford does not have a fix for this problem, like today its raining here and if I crack my window open I get flooded inside + the wipers through the rain right inside
  16. Has anyone used the Ford windows wind deflectors part FT4Z-18246-A? I had a Weathertech pair on my 2013 Edge and I loved them but there not available yet for the 2015-2016 Edge so I was thinking about the Ford ones. However these are stick-on and I dont know how well they will stay in place
  17. Last Wednesday Apr-27-16 I returned my 2013 Edge Limited and got my new 2016 Titanium with the 301A package, 2.0L Ecoboost, Platinum White with Ceramic interior. It only had 5km. Very happy with the car, looks and feels luxurious inside and outside and have notice no defects. I like the black shiny finish on the dashboard which does not give the feeling of cheap plastic like my 2013 I’m disappointed that the Wallpaper feature is gone with the new SYNC3 but overall I’m very happy
  18. Didn't have a chance to use the nav yet but I agree with you on the wallpaper - it really sucks. When I placed my order I was not smart enough to ask about changes because I thought there will be improvements and not elimination of existing features. But I must say the 2016 is a huge improvement vs the 2013 I had before, the interior / exterior are amazing and the ride more solid
  19. Thanks Cara, SYNC3 is much better than the one I had on my 2013 Edge Limited but they should not have removed the walpaper
  20. Has the wallpaper feature on SYNC3 removed? I just got my new 2016 Titanium and I try to learn the new SYNC but there is nowhere I can find it
  21. Very disturbing to hear this major problem but luckily the truck is at least safe to drive. Regardless I dont understand how Ford allows such a defect to go un detected at the factory since I assume they do some kind of waterproof test in all trucks. Since my current lease expires next February I was thinking to go for the 2015 Titanium but now I'm thinking if its a good way to go or not
  22. Now I get it and I will look into it, thanks
  23. Very good info WingNut, thanks. But how can I sell my car when it is not mine (I mean it's leased)?
  24. This is my first time I leased a car and I wonder what happens when I return the car at the end of the lease. I have a 3 years lease which expires in February but I plan to return it and lease the 2015 Edge around October / November since I prefer not to have a new car in the middle of the winter. The salesman who leased my current Edge has move to another Ford dealer in another town and since I liked him I plan to go there for the new lease. I spoke to him already and he said there is no problem to get the new Edge over there but I wonder if it makes a difference. My Edge currently has about 26k kilometers and is in top shape however there are 8 needle head marks on the paint in the front especially on the hood from stones or salt. These marks are just paint chip and are not dents. Would they charge me for a new paint job and what happens when you return the car at the end of the lease?
