Are there any part numbers to these or TSB numbers? I definitely have seen this any time it rains the lower door panels are always completely coated. We live in South Georgia so no snow or ice and the car only has 25,000 miles (2015). I already see rust on the fold lines/weld lines on the door from this. Never mind... some searching I found this: TSB: 18-2339: TSB

I have seen a couple around I believe but they’ve all been rather expensive around $1,000 which right now is not worth it.

We have a 2015 and really it was all cosmetic things that were taken care of under warranty. We purchased ours in late October after the water intrusion was fixed. We also had the brake booster replaced under warranty (under the TSB) for sensitivity. No mechanical issues to speak of plenty happy. Wish we had sync 3 is all which came in 2016 and newer.

I have a question about the oil report if anyone has seen a similar trendS with the newer 2.7 shearing the oil or if Mact you have any thoughts.. I changed the oil last time about 1,000 miles past when the on life oil monitor said to change it. Both the first and second (nearly third as well) had the oil sheared to a what would be a lower viscosity oil. This most recent time I changed it right at the indicated time and it was barely on the edge. All three oil samples were done with the exact same oil. Thoughts? Thank you.

It depends on what year as some early one issue (leaking and very sensitive brakes) were (mostly) fixed after year 1 as an example.

We get 21/24 average depending. 21 if it’s mostly rural/city and 24 if it’s mostly highway. 93 octane only since new. The pictures attached are both from Fulley fuel tracker.

Wanted to see if anyone else had any thoughts on this. Did Ford change the pan material?

Last year I replaced the plastic valve cover on my 2002 Nissan for the first time. Yes, the gasket was hard as a rock but it lasted 16 years so no reason it cannot work just different steps Ford would have to take to ensure reliability vs going the cheap route and doing just enough in their mind to get by. Our 15’ Edge sport is about 19,000 miles now and luckily, *knock-on-wood we haven’t seen this issue yet but I am watching it like a hawk. Are there any stats on how many are affected? Is is a small percentage (under 10%) or is it an overwhelming fleet issue?

Update - The new brake booster definitely makes a difference in the short drive I had. Although it wasn't completely cold, I could tell right away that the initial bit of travel was very soft compared to when I dropped it off. It's my wife's car so the test will be when she drives it later.

Got a call from the dealer last evening. They are ordering the updated break booster for our 2015 edge sport. Hopefully it helps with the binary brake feel.

This might be it: 2015 Ford Edge Equipment Service Bulletin 448044

Correct, they do not have one for the 2.7L twin turbo EB motor.... For Ford 2015 Edge 2.7L V6 TurboUnfortunately, this Edge uses a plastic proprietary plug. Better luck next time.

Where did you pick this up from?

Thanks for all your thoughts so far!

I wanted to see what folks here do... I made a pole to help keep track of their thoughts so please fill it in and if you have additional comments of course they are welcome. I have always replaced the (in my previous vehicles) the copper crush washer every single oil change but I can only find the plastic drain plug and o-ring and not just the o-ring. Granted I think its maybe $10 for it but I was under the assumption that even the dealer doesnt change out the plug. Personally, Ive done three oil changes (17,000 miles now) and have yet to swap the plug (never leaked) but am thinking about doing it for #4...
