Thought this video was relevant to the (older) discussion. https://youtu.be/UPWJp7azEvc Out of curiosity I looked up what station's locally had top-tier, and was surprised to learn that only two brands were. Google "top tier gas stations" to see a Google map of the stations in your area that sell top-tier. AAA came out a couple of years ago promoting top tier gas. https://newsroom.aaa.com/2016/07/aaa-not-gasoline-created-equal/

No surprise, just thought it was interesting.

The popping sound is probably the right strut mount bearing has seised. As you turn the spring goes through a twisting motion. The upper strut mount contains a bearing the allows the spring to rotate. When the strut bearing freezes up the spring begins to twist and with no bearing to relieve the torque built up, the end of the spring snaps back to its resting position. This creates the popping sound. In addition, you also feel the snap in your steering leading you to believe that something else is at play. When replacing the struts and mounts, I would recommed only Motorcraft. Don't go cheap and use Chinese parts unless your planning on dumping the car immediately afterwards. May consider replacing the rear shocks at the same time.

Is it your opinion that the moisture is getting in though these stickers? Or if through the "vents", why not just dry out the lights and seal the vents with clear silicon sealant?

You want rattles? Loan it to me for 10 minutes. I swear, if I bought a new Edge and had that scraddle, I'd rip the damn thing apart until I found it. I hate scraddles (squeek/rattles).

Simple. It only works when the cargo deck is raised or lowered. :cough:

Seems to depend of state law. Poured on the ground, it's sweet smell and taste attracts wildlife. If you can contact your local EPA; they should be able to advise if it's considered hazardous waste and where to dispose.I believe the stuff they spray on planes is the same as RV antifreeze. Nontoxic.

Call your dealer and see what they say. Coolant is usually regarded as a hazardous waste and needs disposal in a special place.

Drove me nuts. Buzzzzz, tweet, tweet, twee....buzzzz (repeat).

Not trying to argue the point, but none of the lights your looking for are DOT certified. Don't get rid of the original lights as these will reduce your trade-in value should you go through a licensed dealer. (You may consider putting in the oem lights when trading). That being said, you can find what your looking for on Ebay.

Ah, thanks. I misread your post.

Q. How many dimes does it take to make a battery? I have a Solar BA-7 and it showed my (old) battery was failing. Had it tested at local Ford dealer with a coupon and it passed with flying colors. TWICE! Failed about a month after the second check. Dealerships don't have the proper testers to test a modern battery. Their tester measures voltage and a with modern car you muse measure capacity. So that's my $0.10 worth.

If your thinking of DIY this video shows you how (just be aware that you are going to LOOSE a LOT of light at night. If your looking at a full replacment, Ebay is full if units: https://www.ebay.com/b/Headlights-for-2007-Ford-Edge/33710/bn_87011018

Makes me wonder. This dealer originally told you that the battery was good. And later, after ACTUALLY checking it, discovered it was bad .... I would have a talk with the service manager.

Ok, got about 1000 miles of driving on the rental. Strange buzzing, rattle driving me nuts. Can't seem to pin down where it's coming from. Passenger thought it was coming from the consul. Don't care for the radio (not Revel). No goodies, can't park itself. Don't like having to use touch screen for (nearly) everything. But tens for temp +/- too small. Getting 23.0 in Cascades (mostly I-90 at 80 mph). Great beer in local brewerys. Great food in Cascades. Visited Rosyln where they filmed Northern Exposure. Know the moose in the opening credits? He was stoned. Guy had a banana tied to a stick and walked around town. Moose loved banana's and followed him all over town. That scene was filmed at 3 an. Couldn't take down the Rosyln sign, so the changed it to Rosyln's Cafe. Totem pole is still there. Local kids had no idea how long it was there, old timer told us the crew of show made it. Sad the kids who grew up there had no sense of their history. If you're ever in this neck of the woods, up around Snoqualmie Pass there's a place called "The Commonwealth". Stop. Great food and locally brewed beer. Really great food. They will make any sandwich vegetarian. (My son). He loved his sandwitch. I loved the beer which is brewed next door. I had a sausage sandwich and the sausage is made locally. Made two trips. Also visited the site where they filmed Twin Peaks. It's in North Bend, Wa. The cafe shown is a real greasy spoon. Love Washingon. Great people, great attitude, very friendly place (except for Seattle proper).

It was reported on other models / years that keeping the IA FOB inside or too close to the car causes it to wake up and remain awake until the battery is drained. Others reported that the ACM was turning itself on and draining the battery quickly. The fix was to replace the ACM (Audio Control Module). Believe I read somewhere that Ford issued a bulletin on this as it was happening on so many cars. Don't recall this happening on the 2018 though.

See if this video from Mactfordedge video on this same program.

Mine wasn't qualified either. It was covered under the extended warranty I had at that time.

Drove hard today in the mountains. Avg 23 mpg. Has Hancock 19's. Not completely smooth, but not too bad. Great brakes, almost too good.

I ☆☆like☆☆ this car!

Driving now. It's a titaniim.

Uhhhhhhh, black. (Have no idea. How do I check)?

Travelling. In Seattle, got a new Edge for the week. Seems solid, very quiet and extremely smooth. Seats are hard to get out of (side bolsters too high). Not crazy about Sync 3, phone synces, but no voice with Google Maps. Great brakes, excellent acceleration.

Oh it's dry all right. The locals start whining if the humidity hits 4%. ? But anything over 108° and you will burn your fingers trying to open the car door. Man its hot. Used my shirt to open the door, leaned in and started the car. Finally able to get in after 20 minutes of ac running.

Before you go to the dealer, go online aND get at least three quotes from on-line dealers. Run it for both Premium Care and Extra Care. Pick the best quote and then take THAT one to your dealer. Call ahead and make an appointment with the dealers comptroller (VP or whoever handles the money). Allow him to present his offers and then tell him you looked on line and show him the quote(s) you printed out. (He will match as he knows you can buy the warranty from any authorized dealer.) My dealer's agent took a deep breath and immediately said he would match the price. I hesitated, looked at my watch, and he offered $0 deductible if I had the work done at their garage ($100 elsewhere). I also agreed to an inspection to verify that there was no exiting defects. Cost was $100. I agreed but insisted that the inspection be done only by the Service Manager (after all he's the best mechanic in the garage). He agreed and I signed. Inspection is usually mandatory and expect to pay 1 hour over and above the cost of the warranty. (I actually wanted a full inspection to see if anything was wrong as I was still under a Premium Care plan).
