  1. I went to Napa to get a new air filter and the one they found in their system for my 2015 wasn't even close in size. They then searched for a 2016 and found what appears to be the right dimensions but their filter has a layer of cotton on the bottom of it (similar to what was mentioned earlier about a pre-filter) but the stock filter doesn't have this cotton at all. I've never seen a filter like the Napa one before. My stock filter has lines of glue on it in the same area where the Napa filter has the cotton glued on but no cotton.
  2. My center assembly was replaced yesterday. But they didn't replace my left rear tail light, despite my photos showing a lot of condensation in them. If it happens again, which I suspect it will, I'll take more photos and bring it in again.
  3. The first dealer I brought mine to never got back to me about replacing them. So I brought it to the dealer that's close to my office this morning to see if they're able to address it. Of course the lenses look fine now but I'll email them photos for proof if they need it. Hopefully they're able to address the fogging and the squeaking seat today.
  4. Has anyone else had an issue with their driver's seat squeaking? If you move back and forth (toward the steering wheel and back) or just press your hand on the lower back area of the seat, it squeaks with the sound of old, rusty springs. Anyone else have that issue?
  5. I have in that same area as well as the arm rest. The rattle seems to come from the passenger's side hinge for the arm rest. Drives me crazy.
  6. I'll have to try some clay bar for the scratches I picked up on mine. Made the mistake of letting the connecting hose from a car wash's manual washing area slap the Edge in a couple places and left some fine scratches. Good tip!
  7. To update mine, I haven't heard the squeal in quite some time.
  8. Yes, 2015. There wasn't any condensation in the housings when I went Friday so obviously they couldn't find anything wrong. But the tech requested I email him some photos that I had saved on my phone and he's going to send to Ford to see if they want to buy me new taillights or not.
  9. I'm taking mine to the dealer this afternoon to have it looked at. I'm not overly concerned about mine but it shouldn't be happening to the degree that it is. Since mine is a lease and I'm just borrowing the car, I'm letting Ford look at "their car" to see if it's something they'd like to fix.
  10. Sounds great. So far I haven't found these Edges to be too terribly friendly for upfitting (well, at least with the lights I have on hand).
  11. I'll be curious of the results if you try this out. I'd like to get something similar for mine, or any other brush guard style. I'd like to add some lights to mine (volunteer FF) for a little more visibility. Light mounting options are limited on these, especially with mine being a lease.
  12. Could be. I just filled up and saw a 1.10mpg increase from my last fill up but the mileage on this tank was still average. That was the furthest I've gone on a tank of gas since December but still nothing earth shattering. Oh well. Figured it was worth a shot. I don't think I've ever put anything more than 87 in a car before so I figured it was worth a shot to see what would happen in this case.
  13. I put 91 in at my last fill up. I couldn't believe the price difference between 87 and 91. I'll be filling up again today but will go back to 87. I don't know if it was just butt dyno or what, but the engine seemed a bit more lively on the 91. There was one improvement that I know for a fact, however. On 87 every day when approaching the highway on ramp at around 45-50mph, there's a noticeable RPM surge with the motor under load. It'll rev a little higher, drop back down, and then rev up again. You can watch the needle move. On 91 that occurrence seems to have disappeared.
  14. I've been running 87 in mine since I purchased it. It had 411 miles on it when I bought it and now has 6,300 miles on it. I'm due for a fill up today and may try higher octane, just for kicks. I've been tracking my mileage after the first tank or two and have been averaging 21.4mpg. Granted my Edge is AWD and I bought it in September, so a lot of the mileage has been on winter blend fuel and snow tires.
  15. My brakes always squeal first thing in the morning. But after driving it for a couple of minutes the squealing goes away. I haven't brought it to the dealer to be addressed, yet.
  16. Yeah mine are pretty touchy as well. I almost get whiplash after driving my fiance's Jetta Hybrid that has the wonkiest braking system I've ever used.
  17. Mine seemed to scratch pretty easily and I had a hard time attempting to remove the scratches. A plastic lanyard for a brush at the manual car wash hit the fenders and bumper of mine and left pretty noticeable scratches. You can't feel them with your finger so I figured they weren't that deep. But I tried two different scratch removers without success. There must have been some dirt on the lanyard itself and it didn't brush up against the Edge too hard, so it didn't take much to scratch it. Other than that I've noticed no issues with the paint.
  18. I'm definitely looking forward to that. The peace of mind is worth the price alone.
  19. I bought WeatherTechs for the front of my Edge and installed them yesterday. They look and fit great. This is my first ever set of WeatherTechs so I'm looking forward to having them this winter. With the lease, I didn't want to take the chance of destroying the stock carpeting and having to pay for it later. I had all season rubber mats in my Jeep before this but they didn't have a sidewall, thus allowing for the carpet to still get salt build up. That salt is tough stuff to get out.
  20. I also have moisture in the tail light and noticed it after using a high pressure spray. I noticed moisture in another Edge that I test drove before purchasing my own.
  21. I traded in my 2012 Jeep Liberty sport for the Edge. The Jeep was lifted with Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires. The gas mileage on the Jeep was killing me and I was upside down on my loan. So I leased this Edge SE with the 2.0 EcoBoost and have loved every minute of it so far. I miss a few options my Jeep had but I'm already loving the 8mpg increase I'm seeing.
