One more update - got the Edge back today from the shop : Update / for those interested ..... codes came back as catalytic converter efficiency issue - cylinders 1,2,3 misfiring. So - ordered new Catalytic converter(rear bank), three new coils, 6 spark plugs, belt tensioner and belt, pcv valve, intake plenum gasket and the special oil for the PTU while the mechanic is tearing it apart. I think it was about 6 hours of labour on total - parts from Rock auto were about $700 and labour was another $700. Expensive repair but a lot of parts put in - and hopefully this gets us another year or two of use. The PTU was thirsty for oil - apparently they weren’t able to suction anything out of it .... fingers crossed that it’s ok for awhile. And - the catalytic converter was clogged pretty badly. No internal parts were broken or chunked up but definitely clogged and extremely sooty. Huge difference in driving - out foot to the floor couple times after getting it back and it is now breathing and firing on all 6.

Update : went for for a second opinion to the shop that does my wheel alignments and here is his response after scanning the codes and doin a test drive with scanner attached : 1) cylinders 1,2,3 misfiring like crazy. 2) bank 1 cat is a gonner. (Firewall side) So - he figures - as did some of you - that the misfires were likely the initial trigger for the death of the converter. Because my wife drives this car so gently, she never noticed an issue with the motor under hard acceleration - as she never did that. As the intake plenum has to be removed to do the plugs - I’ve ordered coils as well for the back 3. Additionally a new pcv valve, plenum gasket, spark plugs, belt tensioner, belt, and while the converter is removed - I believe access to the PTU fill bolt is made a little easier - so I’ll ask him to drain with a suction what is in there and then refill with whatever is supposed to go back in - I’ll have to look that up. Parts are now on order from RockAuto to the tune of $700 Canadian. My second garage was cool with me sourcing the parts - and he will get this done once I get the parts in. I hope this this solves things and gives a little more life to this car for us. Thanks all, for your comments and suggestions !!

Update - had the code scanned and it came back as a catalytic converter - bank 1 which I believe is the catalytic converter on the firewall side of motor - just below the exhaust manifold. Apparently the theory is that under light load - as in exactly how my wife drives all the time - the exhaust is able to exit no problem. When lead foot me steps on the gas - the additional accelerated combustion can’t exit through the converter fast enough and effectively causes a misfire because the fumes are slowed down from leaving. Garage said $800 for that converter - I’ve checked online at places like Rockauto and I can get it for about $300 delivered to me. Not sure who is going to do the install now - as I’m not willing to pay a shop an extra $500 just for ordering the part from their local Napa or carquest. So is this converter a DIY type of driveway repair or do I need a lift and torch to swap it in ??

Omar - your suggestion crossed my mind. Thanks. Plugs are original - I know - too many miles on them but as you mentioned if the codes pull up an issue withthe plugs or coils - I’ll be quite ok with that compared to a transmission issue.

Maybe this is a better description of what is happening. 2013 Edge LTD - AWD. If driving at steady speed - say 60 km/h (35 mph) and then nail the throttle as if to pass, I feel the trans downshift once - and then it feels like the motor is revving but the trans won’t stay in that lower gear and it makes the car feel like it’s bogging down. Won’t accelerate with foot mashed down on gas. Following doing this - a high pitched squeel from the right side of engine is heard - but it goes away after 10-15 seconds. When driving very normally and lightly accelerating it goes through the gears smoothly and downshifts smoothly when coming to a stop. Check engine light is now on - steady. Will take it to get codes read tomoro. Do these symptoms sound familiar to anyone ? 175,000 kms (about 110,000 miles) on the odometer. i don’t believe it’s hitting the rev limiter - if you need to pull out and pass you should be able to floor the gas for a second or two to get it moving. Yes my 13 has the manual shift option on the shift lever.

No - it feels like it downshifts one gear then with my foot flat on the floor the motor Feels/sounds like it’s revving way up but it’s not staying revved up. Could almost describe it as a bogging down feel but the motor sure seems like it’s screaming and trying to go.

2013 Edge LTD - AWD- 175,000kms. 3.5 ltrj When driving at say 60 km/h and then I mash the gas pedal to floor - (to make a pass) it seems to shift transmission down one gear, then it’s as if the trans won’t allow it to stay in a lower gear and it feels like the car is bucking like a wild horse trying to kick a rider off. When driving at normal acceleration it up shifts just fine - and when slight gas pedal is applied it will downshift and hold one lower gear. It downshifts fine as in when coming to a stop. You wouldnt know there was an issue unless you mash the gas pedal and aggressively try to accelerate. Any ideas what what the cause could be ??? thanks in advance.

This was a simple fix. There are two bolts holding the catch portion of the latch: loosen these bolts and raise the catch just a little bit. Tighten and test. Mine now closes with finger pressure. It didn't make sense to me that the hood had to be slammed to catch. I'll take a pic tomorrow and show what the two bolts look like. This was a 2 minute adjustment.

My Edge (2013) hood requires that I hold it about 12" in the air - and then let it fall to close. If I don't do this - it doesn't latch and I have to re-open it then let it slam again. Dealer I bought from said they are all like that...... I didn't argue at that point - I'll figure it out on my own. I did a search on this forum - can't see any comments about how to adjust the hood latch mechanism - so if anyone knows how to do it - please post. I'll have a look at it this weekend and see what the deal is. thanks

I really like the look of that!

Hi All! just bought a 2013 AWD LTD Silver Edge - has 23,000kms on the clock. Living in Southern Ontario and I'll be frequenting this forum to learn more about my NEw to Me purchase. I moderate a forum for Honda VFR's so I should be able to navigate around here better than I can get around the electronic wizardry found in my Edge! Its got the shiny shiny shiny 20" rims so I'll be referring to it as the Pimp Mobile until I can dirty them up a bit! Has the Navi, Sync, package - and the monster sized panoramic roof. I had an 08' Edge LTD before - and loved it - I'm liking this one already as well. I'll also try to search for topics before I ask questions - I'll assume thats a sore spot for the forum regulars (repeatedly asking questions that have been asked before). All for now, Cheers. Ken
