Hey there Ford Edge people, My car was having some battery issues just a few days before I was leaving to go overseas for a month. I figured I'd have to change the battery when I got back. Well, I'm back and I went to take a look and I noticed this blue and grey powder on the negative terminal. (See photos attached) I don't know if I need to replace the battery or if it's just corrosion on the terminal or if it's Ford Warranty stuff or just wear and tear. I have an extended Warranty and don't want to buy a battery and then it be something I can get fixed under the warranty. I can't start the car though to get it to Ford anyways. What do you suggest? Thanks! Mikey M EDIT: It's just corrosion on the terminals. I'm gonna clean it up and then get a jump start and take it from there. All good.

I used that Ford Inventory tool when shopping around. It was super useful to pull the VINs off Cars.com and compare the extras to see if they had what I what I wanted.

Thanks, guys. I bought it in VA because I wanted a very specific set of options and there were only 7 available that met that criteria in all of Cars.com, and the dealer in VA (Ted Britt Ford) gave me the best drive away price, with the least hassle. After negotiating it all, I flew in and a few hours later I was driving home. They were really good. My Edge is Silver. I was considering between that and a black one, but I went with silver because the front of the Edge Sport is black, and I wanted the contrast. Ultimately I went with the best deal I got. I liked them both. The car I had previously was a 96 Blazer, lol. It was a POS but all that I could afford at the time; I had just moved back to the states. Before that I had a Holden Monaro, which is an Australian vehicle. 5.7L V8. They sold it here as a Pontiac GTO. The Edge is miles better than the Blazer, and is almost like a SUV version of the Monaro which was also silver. I actually wanted the Sport because it had a bit more horsepower than the Monaro, which impressed me cause it's a naturally aspirated V6, and for an SUV the Edge had a pretty good 0-60. So far I like the whole thing. It's very comfortable. It accelerates really well. It handles really well. I like the tech in it too; although Sync has some hissy fits sometimes and does weird things (switching between music sources randomly or before or after calls or if I don't do what the Navigation is telling me to do, lol - it can be tempermental), I still like it a lot. No pics right now, as I'm out of town, but I am looking forward to getting back and driving my Edge. I miss it!

Thanks!

Hi there! I just got my Edge a week or two ago. I live in North AZ where it is hot and dry for about 8 months of the year (not as bad as Phoenix or Tucson, but still). I have an Edge Sport with a leather interior so I'm looking for ways to protect the interior. I was considering getting some high end seat covers, but because the issue is dryness, I don't know if they will protect the leather from cracking. Will I still have to take the seat covers off and condition the leather to ensure that they keep moisture? From everything I've read, I basically need to condition all the leather and the dash every month or so, to make sure it doesn't crack. Does anyone know how durable the leather is in these cars? If anyone has experience with this I'd love to hear from you. Thanks! Mikey

Hi! My name is Mikey. I live in North AZ and I just bought a certified pre owned Edge Sport. I bought it from a dealer in Virginia, and drove it home. It was a great drive, and a good opportunity to get to know my *new* car. Anyways, I'm new here and thought I'd say hello. Cheers, Mikey
