Just got off the phone with a very nice young lady from the Ford customer service help line and see tells me my vehicle should have sport mode. She is going to send the information to the service manager at the dealer so hopefully this will get things moving.

Just bought a lightly used 2013 Edge SEL and I'm having the same problem. There is an S on the shift pattern with the +/- buttons on the side of the shifter but it automatically goes into manual mode without touching the shift buttons. The Ford dealer is telling me that Sport Mode was an option because the manual says (if equipped) by the description. It was my understanding that it was standard on all 2013 and newer vehicles. All the other vehicles I test drove had it so I did not even think to check because I saw the S on the shift pattern.

I bought a lightly used 2013 Edge SEL last week and was surprised yesterday to find out it does not have sport mode. There is an S on the shift pattern but when I move the shifter to that position (without touching the +/- buttons) the transmission goes into manual mode. and a 1 appears on the left display panel. By reading the Ford brochure it was my understanding that all 2013 Edge models came with sport mode. Am I incorrect? All the other 2013 Edge models I test drove did have sport mode so I did not even think to check it on this one. The vehicle was built in late 2012 and I did read another thread on this forum where the vehicle had the wrong ECU and after replacing it sport mode was functional. I went back to the Ford dealer yesterday and explained the situation to the to the sales person and actually had to explain how sport mode was suppose to work. I don't think he believed me until I had him test drive a 2013 model that did auto shift in sport mode. Does anyone know if the 2012 and 2013 models have the same transmission and simply a different ECU to enable sport mode?
