Got the same issue too. I looked at the catch and it looks like that only one of the bolts has a slotted hole. I will give it a try to see if I can adjust it properly

I also find the power liftgade a useless option. Too difficult to fiddle with the exterior button to open the gate and tooooooo slow to open / close

Had the truck at the dealer yesterday. As per work order it looks like that they only checked for oil leaks and found none but the dealer send an email to Ford for further assistance. Got a copy of the email from Ford and it says: “From the excessive engine oil consumption test found in section 303-00, diagnostic and testing of the workshop manual, the specification for excessive oil consumption is one quart of oil per 4800km (3000 miles). It is recommended to perform the excessive oil consumption test as per the workshop manual. The pre-test and post test checks are very useful tools to diagnose the root cause of excessive oil consumption” I did not read Ford’s letter when I picked up my truck but it looks like they did not perform the test as per Ford’s letter and so I will go back and find out why. The work order says that they did add 0.5 liters of oil and if my conversion is correct 0.5 liters equals 0.53 quarts. Since the oil I lost (0.5 liters) happened in approx. 2500km of city driving, that falls within Ford’s definition of excessive oil consumption (0.53 quarts oil lost per 2500km times two = approx. one quart per 5000km)

Very good info autom8r, thanks I wrote down your points and definitely I will ask the dealer to give me a report of their tests / work done. Hope to go some times in June and I will post back the results.

As I mentioned in post #3, I will be going to the dealer soon so no point for me to remove the cover. Although I like working on cars I prefer not to do any work when under warranty.

Never smelled burning oil however she could leak a very small amount of oil thru the piston rings and burn it and that will not even show in the tailpipes. We should not forget that all this happens with city driving and to my opinion if I was going on a trip where the truck will be going constantly at 100km/hr it may leak / burn much more and faster. But why on the 1st 5500km she did not loose any oil and when I changed to synthetic she started to loose oil? Just a coincidence?

Good point nickf but I have not inspected the underside of the engine bay. Plan to go to the dealer next week or so and I'm sure they will check this area

I got my 2013 Edge Ltd with 2L ECOBoost on Feb-2013 and had the 1st service Aug-22-2013 at 5520km. During this time I was checking the oil level regularly and noticed oil level was full at all times During the 1st service I asked to change the oil to synthetic and they used CX0-5W30-LFS12 Checking my oil level again I noticed now that I was loosing oil and not from leaks because I park inside my garage and the floor under the truck is always clean. I have not notice any blue smoke either coming out from my exhaust but this is difficult to notice since the fumes, if any, are not easily visible from the drivers seat. Also the oil on the deepstick is clean with no visible water present Last March, which is about 7 months and about 4000km after my 1st oil change, the oil level was half full and I went to the dealer where they top it up (again with the same synthetic) and told me to keep an eye to see what happens. I was not charged for this service Now which is 2 months and about 2000km after the dealer toped up my oil, the level is half way down between the full and the half full level on my dipstick and I don’t like that. The last 2000km have all been city driving I plan to go to the dealer again but this time I have to make an appointment because I guess they will keep the truck to find out why I loose oil. Is it possible the 2L ECOBoost engine does not like synthetic oil? Anyone with similar experience?

I don’t know of any way to disable this feature but to me the tire pressure monitoring system is useless and it just adds cost to the price of the car. I don’t need a complicated system to tell me if my tires are properly inflated or not but others they may need that

Here is something good about this subject for all members. I was scheduled to go to the dealer to fix my "tire pressure monitor fault" and the other day when I started the car the warning light / message was NOT there anymore. So to my opinion, as long as you know that your tires are inflated properly, give it some time and the warning message will go off (unless there is a real problem with the sensor

Maybe, but the manual clearly says to Inspect the wheel pilot hole and mounting surface which means two items to inspect. Next week I will go to the dealer for my TPMS fault and I will ask

Good to know and thanks for your time

On page 170 of the manual for my 2013 Edge Ltd it says not to use the power points for operating the cigarette lighter. Since a lighter fits in the power point why it does not work? Perhaps if I change the socket it may work?

I have change my tires 3 times so far (from winter to summer tires) on my 2013 Edge Ltd and never noticed or looked for a wheel pilot hole as described on the manual page 339 I was reading the manual again to see if there is any info on my recent TPMS fault and the manual says under the tire change procedure “Inspect the wheel pilot hole and mounting surface…..” I know about inspecting the mounting surface but has anyone noticed this pilot hole and what is its purpose?

Good to know, thanks

You may have a point here. Last year when I bought the car in February I drove back home and left the summer tires (18") in the garage since I was going to change them in a couple of months. But last December when I removed the summer tires I store them in my cabana which is about 100 feet away from the garage. Perhaps keeping the tires far away de activates the sensor on the tires? If that is the case, can I do something myself to avoid going to a garage which will cost me $$$ ?

BTW I forgot to ask; why last year I installed the 18" summer tires and all was ok and this time I have this problem? Perhaps the tires need to be installed in a certain way and last year I was just lucky?

On the rainy day I drove for about 25 miles at 110 kph and today on snny day I drove for about 30 miles at 100 kph and the same message is still there. So I will go to someplace and have it fixed Thanks for the reply

I bought my Edge LTD on February 2013 and since by local laws I needed winter tires I ask the dealer to remove the 18” chrome clad tires and install the 17” winter tires I bought from him. Two months later I removed myself the 17” winter tires and installed the 18” chrome clad and drove all summer with no problem. Last December, I removed again the summer tires and installed the winter ones and all went fine again. Last Monday, I removed the winter tires and installed the summer ones again. Checked the pressure in all and it was 36psi. Next day was a heavy rain day, start the car and noticed nothing on the dashboard and drove for about 3 miles to a store. When I got back into the car and drove another 10 miles the TPMS message came on. Stopped and checked all tires and nothing was wrong and finally went home. Car stayed all night in the garage including all day Tuesday and I thought that now she will dry enough to get no messages again. Today I went out but the message now says “Tire Pressure Sensor Fault”. Car has 12000km Should I go to the dealer or there is something I can do myself?

A very cool ride man, congrats........

Now I get it guys, thanks

I have no real need for the Nav system but after 4 months owning the truck I decided to test it. So I press the Home button to write my home address, then the number button to enter the street number and the numeric pad came up (wanted to input 2004); I press 2 and it shows on the list but then the rest numbers faded away on the pad and could not input the remaining of the number. Same for the street name, I press the first letter on the keypad but then the rest letters faded away. Don’t really know what I did byt eventually the Home address was completed by itself and it guided me back home nicely The owners manual has almost nothing about the Nav system screens Anyone knows where I can get good instructions on the Nav?

I will be going for my 1st service next month and the radio control is among my questions. Climate control works good for me. I think both controls have to do with the settings but going thru the settings you need a special course, lol

Hey Larry Was told that tinted coat is a laquer they apply after the paint job. I was thinking to get the ruby red, very sharp looking, but got finally the Kodiak Brown. Both are sharp looking colors to my opinion but yes they both show up dirt pretty fast. Yes silver does not show up the dirt by depends what you like. I will never have a silver or gray color in my ride So if we like a funcy color we got to wash her more often. lol Enjoy your ride

Guards looks good + your ride looks sharp
