Not to discredit the quality on the mats, but I always get a kick out of the translation when using translator software. Here's how they describe the mats in the Ebay listing: "Made of anti-skid material. Shaped in Cellular, cylindrical or pyramid structure, it's designed to store some rain and snow, sand and dust and prevent it from remaining within various storage boxes in the car with a long-life service endurance."

I have a Solar BA7 battery checker which has shown my battery with over 14 volts but around 100+ low on CCAs. But it cranked the engine just fine as it always started. Until Saturday at the grocery story. Dead. Couldn't believe it, started great all day. I jumped it wit a small jumper battety I carry (mainly to help others who have a dead battety) and we git home ok. Started next day 1st time but not rest od day. Put the Solar checker on it and was reading 10.4 volts and was unable to get a valid CCA reading. Had a new Motorcraft Max battery put in at local Ford dealer and all is well. You have a bad battery. Everything can be traced back to a weak battery.

Why not just buy a primed grill and have the dealer's body shop paint it? (Or any local body shop). Great car, have fun learning all of the Sync voice commands, we'll have a test ready after one month. Lol.

Oh no, that only affects the rear suspension.

On mine, there is a separate pack containing the handle with wrench, and directions. I believe that on the 2015 the wrench and jack handle connect to the jack body. There always a diagram supplied in the spare area showing exactly how to secure the spare as it's a safety item. (Loose spare tires can kill in an accident. I can personally verify this, happened on a head-on immediately after it had happened, loose spare flew up and killed the passenger) This page may help http://www.twotwentyone.net/car-series-spare-tire-how-to-change-the-tire/

I have a 2009 MKX. I verified that the transmission fluid was changed at 60k (important), and had the PTU fluid changed at 70k. Had the car detailed inside and out. Have Weathertech mats front, rear and cargo. Recommended. Installed an Escort Passport Max2 radar detector just below the mirtor, wired it into the back of the mirror. Somewhat a lead foot and it's save my can several times. (Last weekend actually, cop hiding on backside if hill on bypass, I picked him up 1/4 mile out and slowed, pulled into right hand lane, guy behind me felt the speed limit wasn't fast enough, continued driving 80 and got nailed as we crested to hill. The dealer found the PTU seal leaking at 94k and had it changed (no fluid on garage floor, looked like it had just started to leak. Ford mechanic at dealer told me that loss of fluid over time causes the remaining fluid to get gummy and stop lubricating. Causes the PTU to fail). Definitely something to keep an eye on as you have AWD. Got a engine light around 74k, turned out to be a broken vacuum hose. Dealer said it was not common, only 2nd one they had replaced. Had plugs replaced at 90k service iterval. Dealer told me if they are not serviced, the gap grows larger and causes them to draw more current, causing extra heat and coil failure. I've had no problems whatsoever with the APM (radio, navigation), sync or the APIM (bluetooth, usb). CD, DVD and Jutebox works great too. Had a problem with text messaging until Samsung had an update. Worked perfectly after that. I subscribe to Sirius radio, has some nice points (news such as CNN & Fox, sports, comedy channels, specific music chanels like 50's & 60's, Willie's Roadhouse, dozens of others, etc.). I'll be replacing the battery on Tuesday (battery checker showed that it was starting to fail, finally started to fail yesterday. Then new brakes and tires (next year). Have plans to add a backup camera and tie it into the navigation screen. Have the camera and harness, just lazy in getting started.

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
enigma-2 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Wonder how much light is attenuated by the film? I'm all for vanity and glitz, but personally I would rather have more light on the road than a worthless (to me) dress up item. -
Duck tape it. Use the green stuff. (What was that old expression, "if it's green it good, if it flys its better, Gung ho.")

Hello from Indiana. Believe you will love the Edge, I have an older MKX; best car I've ever owned. Whatever you decide, keep us informed, like to know how you come out. BTW, what's the weather like in the Netherlands this time of year?

Took mine in a couple of weeks ago for warm AC at idle, they replaced the fan assembly AND found it was a little low on refrigerant. Ran a vacuum test, passed, told me it's common to lose a small amount of refrigerant over the years due to seals swelling in the summer and shrinking in the winter. Just saying ...

I've never done it, so that this as a guess, but I would assume you have to remove the bumper cover before you can access the two nuts that hold them on.

2008 Edge Metal Rattling While Driving
enigma-2 replied to kyle5782's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Not that familiar with a 12, on my 09 mkx the bottom tray lifts out to make the second storage compartment deeper, but it also exposes to inside of the console (small stuff could fall in there). Was thinking that there may be something similar on yours. Any possibility that something may have fallen under the rear seat (sound travels). -

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?

https://www.amazon.com/Motorcraft-FS-104-Seat-Filter/dp/B001CA9CN8 When changing, run the seats all the way forward and all the way up (for clearance), service from the back seat floor area. I suggest that before you buy new filters, you pull the existing filters first and check them. They really don't get very dirty and can usually be blown out with a can of air or vacuum cleaner. The filters are about 3" in diameter, around 1"high, round, near the center of the seat. They have to be wiggled off and they tend to stick after being on for so many years. BTW, the new filters are just plastic with holes (no filter material) the prevent anything under the seat from damaging the seat fan motor. -
2008 Edge Metal Rattling While Driving
enigma-2 replied to kyle5782's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Have you physically looked under the car? Possibly an exhaust hanger has broken and the pieces are just barely touching. Any possibility that some change or other small stuff have fallen below the center console storage area into the area under the console? -
Should have a diagram of it in the owners manual. Under changing tires. Jack on bottom, then tire, then round plate and screw nut.

2012 Edge Sync issue (radio)
enigma-2 replied to mark.in.tulsa's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Next time it happens, try a soft reset. Hold down the power button (center volume button) and the right seek button for 5-10 seconds. Display will show that it's rebooting and you can release buttons. If not try a hard reset, remove fuses for 15-20 minutes. Well known problem, no real fix that I've read about other than restarting car. -
Hard shifting after TSS/OSS replacement
enigma-2 replied to Katie Belton's topic in All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Possibly you need to update the software for the Powertrain Control Module and the Transmission Control Module. You should do this before any damage to the transmission occurs. -
Page doesn't have any worthwhile information anyway, mostly ads for buying new cars. Try this page https://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-technology/sync-3/settings/how-to-perform-a-master-reset.html

I'm looking at the map now. Could not find Rue Du Sulky in Pierrefonds, plugged in Palomino and it shows that it's a suburb of Montreal. When I plug in Rue Du Sulky, only Gatineau comes up for the city. Sorry, it's still not on the latest map.

"Bad throttle body-please connect passenger seatbelt to continue". ??? What on Earth does a seatbelt have to do with a throttle body? The TB feedback goes to the engine computer, the seatbelt to the body computer. What am I missing?

Never used it personally, but it may be worth considering. Here's a commercial website that gives suggestions on how to figure whether you should consider gap protection: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/gap-insurance-car-do-you-30132.html

Yes, listed as Rue Du Sulky. Comes off Chemin Riverhead in the east, runs up and into Rue Du Jocke in the west. (Looks like a loop. Just outide of an unnamed golfcourse).Map title lists location ad Chemin Rivermead, Gatineau, QC
