Have you done the water pump & timing chain yet?

Little late, but to answer, the backup lights are LED and can only be replaced as a unit.

The requirements in FMVSS No. 108 are: Passenger cars must have four reflectors: two red on the rear and two amber. Reflectors on the rear must be as far apart as possible and on either side of the vertical centerline. Reflectors must be visible from 500 to 50 feet away when directly in front of headlamps. Reflectors on the sides must reflect light to the sides. Reflectors on the rear must reflect red light to the rear.

Well, it did it again. Tried to engine off/open door trick and it stayed on. Hit the media button and the radio rebooted and ran fine. Last night was making a Taco Bell run and map froze and radio dead. Nothing worked. Ignored it and it rebooted on its own. Beginning to think the APIM is going out. Crap..!

You check the tranny fluid level?

Oh, they know exactly what's in their warranty. Their smart enough to exempt certain items that are known to fail and cost big bucks to fix. If it's covered in the warranty they have to cover it. But read the fine print carefully. (One reason I always went with the Lincoln Extended Warranty. No arguments.) Reason the water pump is internal on the Edge is it shortens the overall length of the engine (being transverse). In the F150 its on-line and the water pump is external.

Might be a good idea to have a mechanic pull one of the easy to get to plugs on the front of the engine as see what they look like. Its important to change the plugs on or before. Accessory belts can be examined easily, I've got 140 miles and still good. Don't think its necessary to change preempt. More important in hot climate to change the transmission fluid on regular basis. PTU annually as well (if you have AWD.)

@JPJMustang most likely the water pump seals failed. My dealer quoted $1600-$1700 couple of years ago. They drop the subframe to service. (Good time to also have the plugs serviced as well.) Q. How many miles do you have on yours? (Thinking about having mine replaced as preventive maintenance around 170k.)

Just seen your post. Does you extended warranty cover a loaner or rental?

Some of the folks here would disagree with you. Most of the high oil consumption problems I've read about were in the 150. Slightly different version but many similarities.

I've formed my viewpoint based on hundreds of posts I've read on the Ford F150 forums. In all reality, the only entity with all the facts is likely Ford, who has all the statistical data from all the dealership repairs, and that is likely confidential. I Don't believe that Ford issued an TSB for the 2.7 in the Edge, but they have for the 150 for high oil consumption. (TSB 18-2237) Probably unrelated, there is a recall for the 2021–2022 Edge and Nautilus (and every other model with the 2.7) due to a potential engine failure risk. The issue stems from faulty intake valves. Reading on Bob's the oil guy where one user reported his dipstick was popped up from excessive pressure in the crankcase. #4

Tip from famous YouTube tow truck owner:

Should be able to find chains to fit your edge here: https://www.etrailer.com/fitguidechains.htm?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA_Yq-BhC9ARIsAA6fbAjtbZ734WY3F3K-xqOOkWZnPHfawr5wocJ_V_da8a-mYUa-q46m3ikaAhbKEALw_wcB

I'm running 245/50 R20 wheels with a factory 165/80 D17 spare. The spare is labeled “THIS TIRE AND WHEEL FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY.” there are several conditions listed when using, such as max speed of 70 mph, don't take the car through a commercial car wash and don't use snow chains. My owners manual doesn't differentiate between the 17" & 18" spare, and I have driven using the 17" spare with my 20" wheels w/o problems. (I have AWD.)

The 2.7 EcoBoost engine is known for having several problems due to the engine design and direct injection. One of the most common problems is high oil consumption. (A common failure is due to oil plan leaks due to the plastic oil pan and gasket design.) But there are other, internal causes. This website talks about these and other problems, symptoms and fixes on the 2.7 EcoBoost engines. https://lemonlawexperts.com/ford-2-7-ecoboost-problems/#Problem_4_Head_Gasket_Failures

Whats wrong with Motorcraft?

Second that. Drilled slotted rotors have more heat resistance after hard braking, but actually degrades stopping on a street car (holes and slots in the disks have less braking surface area to press against.) To increase hard braking, wider tires work better. (Once any braking system locks up, the only factor left in stopping to car is the friction between the tires and the ground. The more tire surface in contact with the ground, the more friction exists.)

Had to go to the doctor yesterday for 6-month check up, wife drove. Of course on the way home we had to stop at the Dollar Tree (ahem) and I stayed in the car. Left irmt running as it was cold and very, very windy so I decided to listen to Fox Business on Sirus. Got tied of the downer and pushed the #6 button to change to 60's radio; and nothing happened. Pushed all 6 buttons, nothing. Pushed off, nothing, radio stayed on. Turned the car off, radio stayed on. Pulled out the key, radio stayed on. Started car and pressed the media button on the steering wheel & no Sync. Tried everything I could think of. Finally figured it out. Fix was to turn off the car, remove the key, open the car door, close and wait a few seconds until the timeout turned everything off. (It was at this point that the radio turned off.) Then open the door, started the car and everything worked fine after that. Figured the car was pissed off that I let my wife drive; and figured it was throwing a temper tantrum. ✊😡👊

Honestly, not much to go on, but to me it sounds like some type of vacuum valve opening (or closing) and vibrating when moving. There are vacuum valves inside the cabin. Does it sound like the sound is emulating from inside or outside the cabin? About the only way I can think of isolating the sound would be to place a microphone around various places in the engine compartment and narrowing down when its loudest.

Well, if you don't succeed the first two times, ..... Sorry to hear that, icy streets?

Outch..! I had mine replaced, but it was under an extended warranty. If I remember correctly, it was under $2k. (Gen 1)

"Blinker," I was being facetious. Sorry, long day. 🙂 Why are you replacing the ABS module?

Found them on Amazon. Not too expensive. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=seatbelt+extender+for+ford&adgrpid=71528143127&hvadid=589905295884&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9016241&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=12170112768007906479&hvtargid=kwd-424967327708&hydadcr=18758_13485101&mcid=e5b7195914aa302bb04cf491b6e2f8cf&tag=hydsma-20&ref=pd_sl_7id77nypc5_b

Did you get a quote from your local Ford dealer as a starting point? Also, you may find this video of help

You try torching the bolt?
