Anyone ever buy their Edge after lease end?
enigma-2 replied to WingNut's topic in Buying, Leasing & Ordering
One other consideration to consider is the lease contract will require you to turn in the car in same condition (less normal wear) as when you received it. This means you will be charged for every ding, scratch, road rash and anything else they find during the return inspection. And not just the dealer, the leasing company (who actualky owns the car) can also find problems and send a separate bill even after the dealer has signed off. Had a business associate that got "dinged" over $700 when he turned in his Navigator. (And he was fanatical about taking care of his car). -
According to the owners manual it's 150,000 miles or 30,000 if you tow a trailer or carry a load on the roof. I agree with akirby's post, at 60,000 intervals (30,000 if you use the car for towing). Also change the coolant (more important than transmission) and don't forget brake fluid & PTU fluid (if equipped). Of all the fluids, coolant is the most important.

OK, I called HERE Maps and there is NO release for Sync-3 cars, because .... (long pause to test patience), is because, Ford has NOT sent HERE Maps any information on the Sync-3 system. Yet. It appears (at least on the surface), that no one was assigned to follow up on this minor detail, in Ford. FAKE ENGINEERING! (ok, sorry, got carried away).

Wonder if the technician checked the connector running to the sensor. Often there's hidden corrosion in the connectors that's hiding the real problem. We had a hanger queen CH-46 (helo) in Nam, that had been down for over two weeks. We checked everything, every inch of wire in every harness. Changed several modules. Finally called in the Boeing rep and he went right to the connector on the generator. Corroded. (We had this connector off to couple test equipment to the generator, but no one ever thought to look inside the wiring connector).

Using a DVD it still takes an hour to install. There are a lot of factors concerning a WiFi connection, noise can slow a connection way down, distance from the router, construction, etc.It would be nice, but I would question that these speeds are practical in real world. But they intend to update via wireless for sync, so who knows?

I believe it means "Break in circuit for interior temperature sensor". -

Good to hear. Please let us know how this turns out. Best of luck. -
I can't see doing this via a download. The software is on 2 disks, say 1 gig of data. Can you imagine how long a download would take? More likely it will come out on a 2 gig USB memory card. More likely, the concerns relate to preventing piracy. Update once and sell on ebay. Probably developing a method to link the installation to a single serial number of one ACU and block from use on any other nav unit.

As glass breakage is not covered under the Ford warranty, consider contacting your insurance company as it's probably covered under your comprehensive policy. -
One item on this comes to mind, not that anyone here would be affected, but there are thousands of cars involved in floods down south that are reemerging on sales lots are reduced prices. Just something to keep in the back of one's mind.

enigma-2 replied to foghelmut's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
A little over a year ago I remember reading some reports about this hotter bulb causing crazing and fogging on the inside of the housing. Wasn't an Edge or MKX, (forget which brand it was) but the thread had two or three reporting same problem. Never read anyone reporting this on an a Edge housing however. -
Found a video, not really your engine but it's for the noise. Does yours sound like this?

Kinda sounds like the timing chain developed slack and rattles on start up until the tensioners take the load. Think there is a TSB covering this.

Yes, new unit, installed by Ford dealer, and under current extended powertrain warranty. (I verified this). As far service, they offered to replace the fluid for $150 (he was thinking that they had to drop it and pour out the lubricant), I objected and got them down to $80 per change.

I know that you need to nearly completely refill the washer bottle to turn off the light. Don't think there's a reset, supposed to reset automatically when you refil. Also you can damage the sensor by using Rain-X washer fluid (or any fluid that beads up on the windshield). These fluids coat the two sensor elements and the sensor thinks the tank is perpetually low. (Have to pull the sensor and clean the tabs with Dawn Dishwashing soap).
