That's really strange. Why would the engine speed affect whether exhaust fumes enter the car?

You check Ebay? For example http://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-EDGE-WHEEL-RIM-2008-2009-2010-20X7-5-3701-CHROME-RECONDITIONED-/131877514124?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE

As your considering ordering a new Edge, have you considered getting the factory hitch? Not just the hitch, but factory wiring, heaver raditor, fans, xmission cooler, etc. (Much better towing capacity).

I have an 09 and the airflow is fine.

Congrats, grest car, your going to love your decision.You mentioned having a small dent it the doir, there are repair companies atound rmthat can pop that dent without any tooling. Not very expensive either. Believe they use cold then heat, pops right out. (Neven use their service, friend did and was satisfied).

I had to do this once. There may be an easier way, but none I could find in my 2009 navigation system. When in Map mode, you have six quick touch buttons. Choose "Save to Address Book: Press to save the current location to the address book." Once saved in the address book, you can then save to one of the six "favorites" destinations.

Clogged air conditioning
enigma-2 replied to fprodromides's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Consider using the foaming hvac cleaner I wrote you about. It will reach into places that bleach can't reach. It's possible to use bleach and still have mold in the housing or evaporator. The chemical must actually contact the mold to kill it. WWWPerfA_NOW mentioned cleaning the hvac filter. I'd like to confirm that you actually have a filter installed. If not, dirt, bugs, etc. can enter the system and build up. On of the side effects of living in Florida is the bugs and critrers. There's always the possibility that there a nest or accumulation of insects that have invaded your hvac and keeps clogging it. (The system itself is well designed and has had relitavely few problems. For whatever it's worth, I've never had a problem on my 09). The filter is located in back of your glove box and is easy to check. There are videos on YouTube as to how to remove the glove box and a cess the filter. Takes about 3 minutes. There is no corrolation between the hvac drain and the brakes. You have organic pads and that's one of the side effects. If you want to cure this, you could install ceramic pads. One of the cons with ceramic pads is not as good stopping power, but it's a tradeoff. Mine also squeek when I first start to back out of the garage. To stop it, I will do a hard stop while backing out and clean the thin layer of rust off the rotors. I can then back out and no squeek. Had organic (cheap) pads put on my wife's Sebring convertible. Damn things squeeked everywhere she went. All the time. Had no choice but to have new pads put on. Went to NAPA and bought their best pads, had Ford garage put them on. Dead silence and still has good stopping power. -
Clogged air conditioning
enigma-2 replied to fprodromides's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
It needs to be cleaned as there's a buildup of mold or algae. I responded to your question on what's causing this and how fix, in the other forum. The water draining (or not draining) has nothing to do with the brakes. The squeek in the morning due to a thin layer of rust that forms overnight (usually). And, certain types of pads squeek more than others. Spongy brakes are due to having air or water (probably both) in the fluid. Way to fix this is to have your fluid bled or completely changed. If your at the point of a brake chsnge, consider moving up to ceramic brake pads (no squeek or squeal) and have your brake fluid replaced with new. (Brake fluid draws water to itself by drawing water vapor out of the air). -

enigma-2 replied to fprodromides's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Could be an accumulation of dirt, mold, bacteria and algae growth. They make a special cleaner foam that you inject into the hvac housing, that foams up moving into every crevice, killing molds and algaes. It then reverts back to liquid and drains out. You can buy it on Amazon for under $12. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0007PHD0S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1471195169&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Lubegard+96030+Kool-It+Evaporator+and+Heater+Foam+Cleaner There's a video on YouTube showing how to use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi22mdXj3wM -
Navigation removed after Sync2-V3.8 update
enigma-2 replied to Homer's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
When I click on your link it looks like it's being hijacked by a site called "Advertising Studio". -
Think I would have the dealer check for codes. Could result in a dangerous situation. Hope it's not a big deal.

I bought the max esp I could get when I bought my 09 MKX last year. Got three years and (if I remember correctly) 30k miles. Don't drive many miles as i work at home so more interested in time. Have used it several times so far, already paid for itself (as of last week - new fan assy and recharge ac system, ~$800). Covers almost everything, clearly detailed in the brochure. http://slickdeals.net/?lno=7&trd=http+www+factoryplan+wbr+s+com+a&pv=&au=&sdtid=3137454&sdop=1&sdpid=41210416&sdfid=9&mon=1&ref=1&u2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.factoryplans.com%2Fassets%2Fcms%2Ffiles%2Fbrochure_FordESPPlanOptions.pdf

Navigation removed after Sync2-V3.8 update
enigma-2 replied to Homer's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Possibly perhaps, but unlikely. More likely a glitch when loading the update, a spike in the electrical system at the wrong time, timing error due to an interruption (some electrical load kicking on or off, A/C for example). Impossible to know for sure. Sucks you had to pay for it though. I had to pay for my last one, really pissed me off, wasn't all that much, just the principal of it. . -
Almost as if it was operating with the cruise control turned on? Wonder what would happen if you were to tap the brake peddle next time this happens? By the way, your English is very good, understood your meaning very well

Found subwoofer box under copilot´s seat
enigma-2 replied to Damir Čolak's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
I believe the Subwoofer is located in the cargo area on the drivers side. There would not be enough room under a seat for a speaker (and what happens if you were to put the seat all the way down)? -
Check Consumer's Reports Annual Auto Guide. They show all pros and cons reported for past model years. (You can find a copy at your local library). They definitely do have certain recommendations as to which years to avoid. (One you are considering is listed as a definate avoid).

Not just for new car buyers. If you just bought a car with Sirius radio, you can usually get a free trial just by calling. It doesn't cost them anything yo let you listen for 90 days, and it just might get you hooked. Call them and ask for another free trial. What's the worst they can do, say no?

2016 Edge Parking Sensors False Alarm
enigma-2 replied to luxpow's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
This is probably not helpful, Ford states the system may malfunction if A foreign object (such as a bike rack or trailer) is attached to the front or rear of your vehicle or at another location close to the sensors. An overhanging object (such as a surfboard) is attached to the roof. The front bumper or side sensors are damaged or obstructed by a foreign object (such as a front bumper cover). A mini-spare tire is in use. -
"Smaller Revel system"? I get the difference between the quality of dvd's and Sirius, but missed your meaning on the smaller part.
