  1. Since an old thread was resurrected, I was just wondering how exactly ThugFordEdge3.5 knew that the dealership used tap water during his repair?
  2. Yours is showing the Gold is required. I know you can still get it from Ford, because I still use it in a 2004 Crown Vic. I would assume that you could switch to another flavor, as long as it is flushed well and make sure you continue to use the same type. Ironically I bought extra of the Motorcraft Orange Coolant for my 2015 and now my new 2019 ST was filled with the Yellow and there was an addition to the owners manual noting the change. Quick video on the different colors:
  3. The entire grill was not removed. Removing the driver side headlight assembly should be the same on other 2015 to 2019 Edge models.
  4. Did anybody do this in 2019? I just got a letter from Ford regarding the ST SUV Experience held in Utah, but the registration for 2020 is not open yet.
  5. Because mashing the brakes at the bottom of a hill to reduce or stop its acceleration, is not the best way to keep the vehicle under control. But I'll let you guys get back to your debate.
  6. Exactly why is this recommended?
  7. If you use OEM Style Blades, they are two different part numbers. Same length, but the aerodynamic edge has to face front. I wasn't crazy about the "center out" either, but you get used to it.
  8. I am going to try and swap the little drawer from my 15 to my 19. I was able to simply pull off the cover on my 19, but does anyone know how the drawer assembly comes out?
  9. Ford put them there for a reason. I am assuming it is to smooth out air flow underneath the vehicle and possible keep debris from flying up in there. I have seen tractor trailers with long plastic panels that prevent air flow from entering under the side of the trailer, so I believe that every little bit helps MPG.
  10. I always get an alignment with new tires, but I have never replaced tires with such low mileage. If they are providing some sort of warranty or road hazard, I am sure they want to know they are starting with a good alignment.
  11. No issues with my 2015 SEL. Just got a 2019 ST and found there is no hood insulation pad! Did they do away with it or is it just not installed on the cold weather package?
  12. Check out page 69 in the following manual: http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/Catalog/owner_information/2016-Edge-Owners-Manual-version-1_om_EN-US_10_2015.pdf You need both of your present FOBs to program a third and fourth. Limit is four.
  13. How do you do this? By pushing the interior door mounted lock button before closing the door ?
  14. I am having the same issue with my 2015 SEL AWD. It has pulled slightly to the left since day one. It has been aligned by the dealership three times, with each time them feeding me a line of crap. I did get the print outs from them and while the specs were in the green, some were at extremes. The last time I drove the tech and showed him the pull. They ordered and installed a camber kit, but told me the tech didn't think anything was wrong. I had to ask, why they installed the kit then? The final time the manager said everything was in the green and there was nothing more they could do. After complaining to the dept head, I was told to take it to another dealer or to an outside vendor that "they" use. I told them that one of the reasons I bought the vehicle there was because it was very convenient to my home. So now I have to do the legwork to go somewhere else.
  15. I believe the foam pieces are attached with Velcro, so they could possibly be removed. On a similar note, there is a plastic J hook on a short strap snapped underneath the cargo floor. I assume this holds the floor up when accessing the compartment or spare tire. Where does that hook onto? Only place that it reached was the top hatch lip area over the weatherstripping and it just didn't seem that secure.
  16. They swapped front tires left to right for me but it still pulls to the left. The tech said it should be good because all of the specs are in the green, but he was ordering "special bolts" to get more of a camber adjustment. Now the bolts are in, but while I was scheduling an appointment with the advisor he told me the tech doesn't think there is anything wrong with the alignment. I told him how we just made a trip to the shore and back and how on the freeways I had to keep a constant slight right pressure to avoid drifting left and maybe he should drive the car for a couple days. Now I am leery of what this appointment next week will even accomplish. This is my 2nd brand new Ford out of 3 previously owned Fords and the ordeal is really leaving a bad impression.
  17. Still having a slight pull to the left after two visits to the dealer. The advisor says all specs are in the green, attached is the printout. I don't think they tried to even the cross camber measurements. Does anything jump out to anyone on the printout that would cause the pull?
  18. Like Candurin said, change the batteries. You don't know how old or weak those batteries are.
  19. I actually have half of this problem. Didn't notice it at first, but the driver's side of my hood would shake and bounce up and down. But after looking at it closely, there is a noticeable gap between the hood and top of the headlamp assembly, only on the driver's side. The passenger side sits flush, tight and rock solid. The dealer bodyshop looked at it and agreed (probably a bad stamping) and they will need it for a few days. Now I am concerned as to how it will be fixed, body work? I doubt a new hood ? I wish I would have noticed it sooner, it is very subtle. When I looked closely at photos I took the weekend after it was bought, you can see the gap, but only if you are looking for it.
