I found the ones in the 2016 mkx I had as a loaner, were no better than the ones in my 09. They really didn't go back far enough make me happy. The one's in Mt daughter's 2013 Escape are the same.

The adjustable headrests still don't change to angle to go back, tried them to see if worth switching. (Be great if the adjusted back to a true vertical angle, but alas .... ). But there is a fix for tamuggrad2013, my wife hates (with a capital H) the headrest angle. So it's a simple process to take them out and turn them around. You just push in on the adjuster to raise up to max height, but need a paper clip to release the stop on the other post to lift the headrests out of the retainers. On my 09 mkx, my wife's is turned around and mine is normal. Took time but I got used to it. (Common on all new cars, something safety related). Been discussed before here in the forums (do a search), and I seem to remember someine doing a video on YouTube. Guy put the shafts in a vice and bent them. If you don't have a vice, use a pipe and bend each side to the same angle.

From my own past experience, I found my creeks originated from rubber bushings on the torsion bars. (But I would imagine any rubber bushing could by responsible). Way I found mine, was to crawl partly under the front end and have the better half rock the car up and down. Used spray silicone between metal and rubber to silence. Had to repeat so should have used a good grease, but it does work. As your dealer can't help, wouldn't hesitate to take charge and put an end to it.

You can buy it new for $120 on ebay. Auction #112027920529

Doesn't sound right to me either. There's no electrical circuit required open the door, totally mechanical. Curious, why didn't you pull up on the door lock button and unlock the door? (The little button thingie that pops up and down to lock or unlock the door)? Second point is the shifter, even if it was defective, could not cause the battery to go dead while driving. (It's being continuously recharged). A broken alternator belt, a defective alternator or rectifier, those are the things that can cause the battery not to charge. Or perhaps a bad battery. But there's nothing in the shifter that can cause it. Even if the shifter shorted out the worst that would happen would be a blown fuse.

From what I've read, the plastics have only improved since 1996.

Can't say for certain in your 16 Edge but in my 09 MKX the display can be switched between north always on top (where the car may be going sideways), the Bird Eye's view (don't like) or car goes towards top and direction north changes (what your wanting). (Check page 482 in your owners manual.) Also like to have the turn-by-turn directions displayed as well. Nice to look down and check up on how far before the next turn. Nice to to be able to turn on where gas stations are and what prices are. Also, I'm a sucker for Starbucks and often turn on "show coffee shops" along route. I could never do things like these when I used a Garmin).

Which ever way you go, keep in mind that an aftermarket hitch will limit your trailer to 1,500 lb max (with 2.0 engine) or 2,000 lbs max (with 2.7 or 3.5 engines).

Plastic engines have been around since 1980 when they developed a 2.3 liter Pinto engine. It weighed 152 lbs (vs over 400 for cast iron). There was also an engine developed for racing and had several top 5 finishes, finished 3rd once. "Plastic parts included the engine block, cam cover, air intake trumpets, intake valve stems, piston skirts and wrist pins, connecting rods, oil scraper piston rings, tappets, valve spring retainers and timing gears." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_automotive_engine Good article in Car and Driver on plastic engines of the future. http://blog.caranddriver.com/is-this-the-engine-of-the-future-in-depth-with-matti-holtzberg-and-his-composite-engine-block/ Article in Design News on plastic parts Ford replaced in the curent 3.5 and 3.7 V6's. http://www.designnews.com/author.asp?doc_id=270929

These are the tires I'm currently running. Great tire, wears well, still fairy quiet 2/3's through its life. Don't expect to actually get 80k however.

Doesn't the fuel door lock when the car is locked on the 2016?

Ford advised at my last oil change that my tires are nearing their final miles. Checked Tirerack.Com for my car (2009 MKX, AWD) and the overall best choice (all over 9.0 for all ratings) was the Michelin Premium LTX @ $265/each. I believe that will will be the tire I will go with. (At least for now). Willing to pay more for better performance, smoothness and quiet.

What phone do you have?

Try a dedicated local transmission shop. Probably get a better PTU flush anyway.

Why couldn't you just run a thin bead of clear silicone over the joint of the access cover on the underside of the mirror?

My 09 MKX brake booster wasn't covered either. Shop replaced it under extended warranty.

As WWWPerfA_ZNOW stated, look on tirerack.com, especially at the user ratings. Afterwards you can have the tires shipped to Discount Tire as they are an authorized dealer for TireRack. I did this with my local Ford/Lincoln dealer and they matched price + got $200 debit card back in mail from ford + $25 for using my Ford credit card!!!

Leaves should not be getting into the HVAC blower housing. Check your cabin air filter. Also check under the hood at the back, top of the engine compartment. This is where the HVAC air intake is located. Make certain that the exterior filter (grill?) is in place.

Isn't the resistor completely out of the circuit when the blower is set to high? The HVAC Control Module decides whether to pass current through each leg of the resistor or go direct to the motor.

If you have ever sold new cars you already know that you sell a car three times. First you sell the car off the showroom floor, second you sell the car through financing and third, you sell the car through parts. All parts fail, only a question of time and circumstance. The door switches have been a source of headache, but only a small percentage of cars have failures. Same with tb. Why do some fail early and others go the life of the car?

Several websites offer their opinion based on people they have talked with: http://carpreview.com/ford/edge/2017/previews Here's (supposedly) a pix of prototype: http://releasedatesnewcars.com/2017-ford-edge/ As per rumor website, mostly the same as 2016, some new colors, new grill and front end design, different engine for Euro exports. (Link above). About what you would expect with a mid cycle design. As one site put it, if your wondering if you should go with a 2026 or wait fir the 17, go with the 16 as no real advantage with the 17 (advanced sync stuff will be made available for the 16) and there will be a price increase. 18 is expected to start a new Cycle.

Is there a clip missing or just not holding (needs new clips)?

Could always get a trunk monkey instead. Heard you can buy a 2-pack of sockets at Pep Boys for $25 that can pop most locking wheel bolts. Hiwever, if you put on five per wheel however, if I were a tire thief, I'd just move on.

Have you consideted that the capless filler may be working fine and the actual problem lies in the evap canister, hoses or seloniod (or related)
