  1. I had a 2011 Edge that had a problem with the driver's door switch. This was apparently a common issue with 2011 Edges. The door switch malfunctioned and kept telling me the door was open when it was closed. Although I did not experience the battery issues, I think that if the door switch was malfunctioning intermittently, it could cause lights to go on and off as well as other electronics in the vehicle running the battery down.
  2. This is probably a long shot but if your vehicle has traction control maybe it is detecting wheel slippage either due to a wrong size tire or a faulty sensor. If it detects wheel slippage it cuts power to the wheels. Traction control can be turned off for 1 ignition cycle. On my 2015 Edge I was able to do this via the menu. On my 2019 Edge there is a button on the dash.
  3. Air conditioner will drip water and leave a small pool under the vehicle after it has been shut off.
  4. I have had 4 Ford Edges but never experienced anything like this on any of them. I did, however, experience something like that on a 2002 Ford Explorer that turned out to be a steering linkage component that was part of a recall. The vehicle would wander and got worse the faster I went. I don't recall what part it was and the linkages are probably quite different on an Edge. Hope you get it sorted.
  5. The oil life monitor monitors a number of factors (in addition to mileage) to determine how much life is left in your oil. However, the reading is only valid if it was reset to 100% the last time the oil was changed.
  6. I have a 2019 Edge Titanium with 4,500 miles. My mirrors have never tilted. I have had 4 Edge Titaniums and none had tilting mirrors. I have never seen this feature described in any Ford literature or web site. However, if you find it is an available feature I would definitely be interested in it. The backup camera provides a lot of visibility when backing up but not along side the vehicle.
  7. Sorry. I missed your post so am very late responding. I had the original all season tires on the vehicle. I believe they were Hanook. Still no problem climbing the hill with traction control off.
  8. I have the same vehicle. If I am travelling around 60mph with little or no headwind I get around 26 to 27mpg. At 70 or 80mph with a headwind it will drop to around 21 or 22 mpg. With a strong headwind it can drop to 20 or lower. Not sure why you would get less.
  9. I want to pass on an experience I had with the traction control on my 2015 Ford Edge AWD. I live in NW Ontario, Canada on the shore of Lake of the Woods. My driveway has a steep hill that I have to climb to get out. I have been driving up this hill in winter conditions for 26 years with 3 ford Explorers, a Ford Escape and 3 Ford Edges, all with 4WD or AWD and have never had a problem until now. Shortly after snow and some freezing rain I tried to drive up this hill. 3/4 of the way up, the traction control light came on and I lost power which stopped me at that point. I admit there was some spinning and sliding but that is normal. I tried to back down the hill but as soon as I started to move, the heavier front of the vehicle went first and I started to slide sideways down the hill. This hill is not much wider that the Edge is long and there are steep banks down to large rocks. Eventually I got turned around and got off the hill without going over the side. I checked the manual and determined how to turn off traction control which I did and drove out with no problem. Over the next couple of weeks I drove out with traction control disabled and again no problem. Then one day after turning it off I attempted to drive out and part way up the hill traction control turned back on by itself and cut power to the wheels stopping me at the same spot. It was a strange situation as both the traction control 'OFF' icon and the traction control 'ON' icon illuminated simultaneously, a situation that should never coexist. That condition eventually cleared itself after another uncontrolled decent down the hill and several attempts to manually clear it. I went to the dealer who couldn't do anything as the condition had cleared. While traction control may be an important safety feature on level ground it can be an unsafe feature on a hill so if anyone has a driving situation like mine, just be aware.
  10. Possibly the engine cooling fan is not working. I believe it is electric so it could be a sensor, switch or the fan motor itself. When the car is moving, the moving air would provide the cooling that the fan isn't.
  11. I had the same problem on a 2011 Edge but traded it off so never had it fixed. I have read comments in this forum, however, that the problem might be a sensor rather then the latch itself.
  12. I had this issue with a 2011 Edge. Turning ignition off then back on corrected issue which just resets the computer. I now have a 2015 Edge and although I haven't experienced that specific problem yet, I have other issues, such as the driver's seat not always coming forward, when the vehicle is started. Not a big deal but disappointing that the system is not more reliable.
  13. I'm experiencing the same thing with my 2015 Edge Titanium. Tried multiple positions but nothing helps. My ass just hurts. I have 12,000 km (7,500 miles) and nothing has improved. I even tried a thin cushion but that was just useless plus could not use the heated or cooled seats. This is my 3rd Edge but there won't be a 4th if they don't change the seat design.
  14. Is it a small rubber piece about an inch long? I have a 2015 Edge and I took a look at my fuel lid and that was the only thing I saw that looked like a coil. I have attached a picture.
  15. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of DRL's, that being to increase safety by making your vehicle more visible on the road?
  16. I believe you are correct regarding the timing of Ford making the 2.0 EB standard. I noted that some of the comments in this thread that indicated a significant premium for the 2.0 were dated well into 2015.
  17. I just bought my 3rd Edge- 2015 Titanium with the 2.0 ecoboost. My previous Edges were '08 & '11 with the 3.5 liter. I only have about 1,000 km (600 miles) on my new Edge so can't really give much detail on its performance but I am pleased with its low end torque and fuel consumption. I do want to comment, however, on some of the threads in this discussion regarding the cost of the 2.0 ecoboost. Some have indicated that there is a premium for this engine but that is not the case, at least not in 2015. For all models (except the Sport) the 2.0 ecoboost is the standard engine (both in the U.S. and Canada) and a premium of $400 to $500 is charged for the 3.5 liter.
  18. It's my understanding that with the factory hitch towing capacity is 3,500 pounds but only 2,000 pounds with an aftermarket hitch. My previous 2 Edges (08 & 11) both had factory hitches and included with that was a larger radiator, bigger battery, larger cooling fans and a transmission oil cooler. My current 2015 Edge also has a factory hitch but no mention of these extras. By the way, the handsfree liftgate on my '15 Edge with factory hitch works fine. This was not true in earlier Edges but it appears your dealer was not up to date on his facts.
  19. I just ordered a 2015 Edge Titanium at the end of August and got an early October delivery date so it doesn't appear that there are any production issues.
  20. I just ordered a 2015 Edge almost identical to yours. My wife and I are retired and drive from Canada to Texas each winter. Uncomfortable seats will be a major issue for us.
  21. Not sure where you found that the 2.0 had a $4K premium. I checked both the Ford Canada and Ford U.S. web sites and the 2.0 is $400-$500 less expensive than the 3.5 for the 2015 model. I just ordered a 2015 Titanium with the 2.0. This will be my 3rd Edge. Ford is obviously pushing the eco-boost but strange thing- I checked Ford dealers around both Canada and the U.S. and about 80% of the new Edges on their lots have the 3.5. Not sure if the dealers are really on board with the 2.0.
  22. Hi everyone. Just joined this forum but have been a Ford Edge owner since 2008. Am currently driving a 2011 Edge and about to purchase a 2015 Edge Platinum. But I have 2 questions- should I buy the 2.0 eco-boost or the 3.5 V6? And should I go with a black interior or the Ceramic? I test drove an Escape with the 2.0 and it seemed a bit noisy and created some vibration throughout the vehicle when sitting at a stop while in gear so I am concerned it may be the same in the Edge. We live in a small community and a 2.0 Edge was not available for a test drive so if anyone out there has some experience with it i would appreciate your thoughts and comments. We live in Canada bur winter in Texas. My wife thinks the black interior will be too hot. I am concerned that the Ceramic interior (which looks white in the pictures I have seen) will get dirty. Any thought on that issue? Thanks
