INTERAVE

Its happening now everytime I press the brakes. With only 16000 miles on the odometer don't you think its a bit early for the brake pads to be worn down?? I am going to take it to the dealer tomorrow. I hope its under warranty. Thanks for your all your help!

I had the same problem. Its your Transmission Tranfer case. Its leaking. Take it to your Ford dealer and have him REPLACE IT not try and tighten it. They tried that for me and it didnt work. They had to order a new one. I still have a bit of the smell and I am bringing it back to have them look at it once again. Hope this helps!

I have only 16,300 miles on my Ford Edge. I just started hearing my rear right brake start grinding. At this low mileage should I already have to start changing my brake pads??????

Hey, let me know how that goes. I would like to know if I should do the same thing and bring it in to the dealer.

Oh, I do alright. Its just that sometimes if either the BAMR is open or the A/C is on, SYNC cant hear me clearly and I have to repeat myself or hit the steering button again and yell my command louder. I thought that maybe there was a continuous problem with other SYNC users and if an update for this was needed and available yet.

Does anyone have the same problem? I have to talk extremely loud to my SYNC when my A/C is on. This is extremely embarrasing to the other occupants in my vehicle when I need to talk to SYNC and embarrassing to me when drivers of other vehicles are next to me at a light and staring at me yelling in my car "PHONE!" "CALL HOME!" :wacko:

I have a 2008 Limited in Redfire Metallic Paint. Things I love about my Edge: BAMR--On a nice day, the sky is the limit!! SYNC- Its making me lazy! LOL! 18' CHROME CLAD RIMS --WHEN CLEAN THEY STAND OUT AND GET ATTENTION! Engine power--GUN YOUR EDGE AND IT GOES!! Especially in the higher revs!! Reclining Rear Seats -- My friends love going for long drives in my Edge because they can just sit back, recline their seats, and gaze up through my BAMR at the Sky!

Since we are all sharing, here are the specs on my 2008 EDGE LIMITED AWD: Redfire Metallic Black Leather Interior DVD NAVIGATION SYNC 18" Inch Chrome Clad Wheels (Second set, first ones stolen) McGuard RIM locks Cargo Management System Sirius Satellite Radio Heated Seats w/3 Memory Vista BAMR Flex seating package 9 speaker Audiophile stereo system w/6 cd changer I wish I had gotten the Power Liftgate but my dealer had none in stock with the Navigation system. So far at 1000 miles it looks as if I am only getting 10.8 mpg. I sure hope it gets better with time. The Brakes do suck a bit. Especially if you work them hard. They fade quite fast and the travel is way too long for a vehicle weighing 4200 lbs. Engine is strong though with some nice pull in the higher revs. Whats the deal with Ford not putting a Cargo Cover in the LIMITED???? I had a Ford Escape Limited before this one and it had it! Now I have to shell out $150 bucks to get one????? Ridiculous. The Keys remind me of when I was in Public school and they used to give you the bathroom key and it was attached to a big piece of plywood so that it wouldnt get lost. I cant even put the spare in my wallet because it would prevent it from closing! Sheesh. My car gets a lot of looks which makes me feel good but watch out for THIEVES and by all means GET LOCKS FOR YOUR RIMS!!!

It depends on what size rims you have. I have the Limited AWD with the 18's. If you have these then you need to get the 1/2. I got mine from McGard.

:happy feet: Ok heres the latest and final update: Its been 3 weeks since thieves decided that my OEM Chrome Clad wheels are what they wanted and needed. I am finally happy to proclaim that I have gotten my car back!!!! I am soo f..kin happy!! I have been driving a Chevy Malibu (piece of junk) rental and when I got into my Edge, it was like going from old beat up sneakers to new Air Jordans! I miss the power, and comfort. I missed my Vista roof and Sync/Navigation!! But most of all, I just missed looking at it. Now, does anyone know where I can get Wheel Locks??? :hyper:

What is the location of that store? Is it in Brooklyn, NY?

Well, if I owned the vehicle instead of leasing it I wouldnt have gotten the OEM wheels but for those of you who have leased a car before know that when it comes time to turning the car in at lease end, the Manufacturer can tend to get very particular about what the car looks like. I am not going to give a Manufacturer really nice rims, even if my Insurance company paid for most of them. I'd rather just give him what he initially gave me when I got the lease from the beginning. :stats:

Ok so now its coming up on 2 weeks this Friday since my EDGE was raped of its tires and rims. I just got the final total on how much the total amount this is going to be. $4452!! This doesnt even include the Wheel Locks! My Insurance company is paying $3952 after my deductible. Did I ask for my rims to be taken??? NO!! Now I have to fork over $500 and I didnt even do anything!! WHAT A LIFE!!! GET WHEEL LOCKS AND A ALARM SYSTEM!! :wacko:

The Service Manager at the Ford dealer said that if I tried to put Explorer wheels on my AWD Edge the brakes would automatically lock up and the calipers would bend. He very sternly said not to attempt it. Thanks for the sentiment though. I really have been going thru a lot of crap over this and its kind of depressed me.
