no one said anything about being defective, i was simply stating things i didn't care for about the car. no need to get ur wizard robe all wrinkled and all. "most" of the cars I've owned in the past 20 years have pretty much had the option for the dome light switch, so this is new to me and a bit of an inconvenience. no big deal tho. cheers!

its been almost a year since pd'ing the rims. including car washes, hand washes, rain storms, and typical horrible nyc winters (tons of snow storms/road salting), it still looks pretty good. i had to touch up the edges here and there, but its so easy to do and cheap as well. as long as you properly clean intended surface well before applying initial coat, they should last quite a bit. check cellbine's vid on how to properly do it. he's got it covered! (pun intended)

i don't love my edge, nor do i hate it. i like certain things of the car, and i dislike certain things as well. for the price, its a bit of a let down. also, the dome light isn't my ONLY complaint of the car. i have a couple of issues with other things, not a huge deal. but again, i wish i was "in love" with the car, and I'm not. I'm getting something new soon enough, and ill either trade this one in, or i'll hand it down to the mrs., or one of my kids. they seem to like the car more than i do anyway! lol

don't remember actual link. i googled "ford emblems" and a couple of ebay auctions popped up.

Thanks guys. I didn't lower the ride height, it's all stock.

but the solution creates another problem. i know i can easily remove the bulb...obviously. but if i do that, i won't have the front interior lights on at all, which is also an inconvenience. i want the light on when i want it on, and off when i want it off. not always on, or always off. thats where ford dropped the ball. they don't give you the option. so your solution...isnt quite a solution. who wants to fiddle with removing bulbs every time you want the light on or off. imagine you had to do that in your house, bedroom, bathroom, etc. removing bulbs are an inconvenience...period. not a solution in my eyes. a simple switch like all other cars would have been common sense and a simple remedy.

The fact that you don't have the option to turn it off or on is the annoying part. I personally don't want the light on every time the door is opened. I should have the option.

Ive been a Ford owner for over 15 years with 4 different models. The latest being a 2013 Edge Sport, and 2013 Explorer Sport. Since day one I've had nothing but problems with the sync/nav system. From freezing, to rebooting midway to my destination causing me to miss my exits and getting lost several times. I'm an avid mountain biker and snowboarder who searches for new destinations to ride. While following directions from my nav, several times it just froze and had to be rebooted. Meaning I literally had to pull over on the highway and pull a fuse and wait for it to reboot. Not fun, and very dangerous. Also when my iPhone or my iPod is plugged into the usb outlet, it always just freezes for no reason. And the cover art to my music is always a song behind which defeats the whole purpose of displaying the cover art. Just ridiculous. My wife's Explorer Sport with the same sync does the same crap! Until Ford does away with the whole sync system, I'll NEVER buy a Ford again. I'm already shopping for 2 new vehicles only after owning my edge and explorer for only 11 months! Just can't tolerate it anymore. All the service techs say is master reset it. Really!?! Everytime?!?! Frustrated beyond description. Bought both vehicles brand new and fully loaded, edge for me, explorer for my wife....both very disappointed! Unacceptable...

i left the rims and tires on. just stuffed newspaper behind the rims to shield the brakes/rotors. real easy. once dry, easily peels off excess overspray on tires. theres a how-to video from cellbine on this forum. pretty in depth too. good luck!

it was a separate option available thru ford factory that actually integrates with existing parking sensors. comes with entertainment/convenience package.

tks bro. i only dipped the rims. the ford emblems are after market emblems that attach over the original ones with double sided tape.

Ford's parking assist. Actually pretty useful when parking is tight, and when people are approaching ur car.

2013 Edge Sport AWD... (sorry for crappy phone pics) Added extras- Tinted windows, window rain guards, front bug deflector, wheel mud guards, rear 2" hitch, weathertech mats....and empty wallet!!

The "pulling/veering" has slightly got better. Or should I say "occuring less". Maybe the tires have worn in a little, or maybe I've grown used to it a bit. Nevertheless, I've tried everything and anything, and at this point, it is what it is. I don't hate the car, but I haven't fallen in love with it either. I'm on the fence and undecided with my feelings towards the edge. It's growing on me though... There are things I really like about it, and there are things that bug me... nothing is perfect. Time will tell.

I was told the the tires were rotated both front to back, and left to right. This sucks, not happy. Not much I can do at this point. o well....

I hate the fact that I can't turn off my interior dome light. All my other cars past and present have always had the option of shutting off the interior lights. Am I missing something? At night, it's so annoying when the light goes on every time a door is open. I feel like I'm under a "spotlight" lol. I own a 2013 edge sport awd. How can i fix this without removing a bulb or fuse?

Just received my blacked out ford emblems from ebay. One for the front grill, and one for the rear. How do I remove the original emblems? Or do I just simply apply double sided tape to inside of new emblems, and stick onto the existing blue emblems? The new black emblems don't have any prongs or studs behind them. It's just a plain metal oem ford emblem basically painted all gloss black. tks fredro

Thanks, I'll check the temps of the rotors/wheels and see if there is a difference from one to the others. We'll see....

I just picked up my brand new 2013 Edge Sport AWD just about a month ago. It has been in 2 different Ford service centers for about 3 weeks of the month that I've owned the vehicle. Since day one, the vehicle seems to pull or veer to the left as soon as I let go of the steering wheel at highway speeds (above 55). I took it back to the dealer where I purchased the vehicle. They tried 2 different alignments, and rotated the tires twice as well. The service manager said it was normal for the car to pull because of the roads being "crowned". I still wasn't satisfied so I contacted Ford customer service and informed them of my worries. The regional manager had me bring my car to another local Ford service center for a second opinion. The second service manager said he felt the pulling after he test drove it and agreed to fix it. Another alignment, and rotation of the tires and still the problem exists. Again, he claimed the various road conditions were to blame. I own 3 other vehicles, none of which pull like my Edge. All of which are driven on the same roads, same conditions, several times a week. I was also told that the 22" stock rims were known to "drift" because of the diameter size and width of the rims/tires. I live in NY and frequently drive to PA, NJ, VT for snowboarding, and I don't feel completely comfortable driving lengthy distances like this. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it something that eventually goes away with tire wear? Do I just suck it up and deal with it/ get used to it? The money I paid for this car, I should not have these feelings. Oh, by the way, I'm not a big fan of the SYNC system either. It freezes up, lags, and doesn't respond well to voice commands. i already had to master reset the system to stop the lagging/freezing. SOOOO ANNOYING!!! Please help shed some light on this issue. My next step is to cry "LEMON"!!!! Very unsatisfied customer.... Fredro
