Thanks for the reply. I called the dealership where I purchased it and they quoted me a price of $814.75. The whole light bar assembly across the tailgate has no access panels on the inside either. Although I think this light assembly is the best looking to date there should of been previsions incorporated to service the light assembly. Really dumb engineering idea. I can see why they deep sixed that look. That being said, Ford will not back up the fix. So, now I am filing a safety complaint with NHTSA and ask them to make Ford recall and replace the assembly due to safety concern with possible pedestrian backing up injuries. Also, if enough people have this issue, start a class action suit to make Ford replace the light assembly.

Good evening all, I have a 2016 Sport “To Good To Be Blue” with only 27,000 miles, impeccably maintained, garage kept and just noticed the left side back up lamp out. I’m assuming it’s a burnt out light and from what I am told to remedy this issue I will have to replace the whole light assembly which appears to be a very expensive part. Can anyone please tell me if this is true and is this a common issue with the Edge. If this is the case I’m going to contact Ford Customer Care to get them involved and try to get it replaced under some special circumstance. And if that doesn’t work, I will contact NHTSA and get them involved. Lights, especially LED should outlast incandescent bulbs and I find this troubling Ford would let an engineer design something stupid as an expensive repair for just a burnt out light.

Point well taken, thanks

I totally understand your frustration with those idiots driving around with them on for no reason. I’ve had two A6s and I can attest that they are quite bright, albeit for a reason. Not sure about your experiences, but more than one time during limited visibility someone with his head up his fourth point of contact talking and texting nearly rear ended me. That being said, there’s a reason why they are on some imports. As far as being “illegal”, maybe it’s a state thing.

From what I have seen, heard or read about the European and Chinese version of the Edge has LED rear fog lights replacing the left and right outboard reflector strips on the Edge. Mine is 2016 Sport and I know you can buy aftermarket ones. My question to all is, has anyone done this modification? I know there should be a factory wiring harness along with the associated switch. I’ve been trying to get a parts manual for the overseas version hoping it will show and give a parts listing. Ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.

I would like to add rear fog lights to the two outer reflector bars on my 2016 Edge Sport. These can be purchased online,but there is no reference to the wire harness and switches. From what I understand the European.models have this feature, so I am looking for someone there has knowledge of what I am talking about. Ford parts don’t have manuals depicting the parts needed. Ican buy these aftermarket and do the wiring myself, but I want to keep it factory looking

Car bra for 2011>2014 Edge. Like new, used twice, cleaned and put back in box. It will keep stone chips and bugs from damaging the paint finish. Only installed on vehicle when I went on long road trips. Will keep stone chips and bugs from damaging the paint. This is not a cheap knock off from Asia. Quality, custom made here in America by Colgan. Originally paid over $150, but will sell for $75 OBO, plus shipping. Text 443-910-2635 if interested or answer add.

Thanks, I’ll keep in mind to notify Ford when all this mess around the world is a safer place.

I’ve gotten one other response to this so far and hoping to hear more responses.

Thanks Waldo, I wonder why no one else has ever experienced this condition. There was never any mention of any calibrations being needed by my Ford dealership. As many of these vehicles, not just the Edge, being installed in Ford vehicles, there should of at least had a TSB written.

Good evening all, My 2016 Sport has the collision avoidance option. For no apparent reason it will illuminate, which at times, has quickly gotten my attention leaving me thinking am I under calculating my rate of closure on the vehicle in front of me. Also, it comes on at times just driving alone on the highway. I have taken it to my local Ford dealer to see if it is registering a code, but nothing is stored in the computer. I’m thinking Ford has designed a “self test” into this system to activate after so many of hours or miles driven. Or, is there a unknown “gremlin” poking it’s weary head up from time to time to get my attention. Has anyone out there with a second gen Edge and collision avoidance option been experiencing this phenomena?

Thanks for the info. I have been reading the post on this subject, but was curious if anyone has taken on the task of doing a factory install and all the cost involved. I did some research on factory parts and for the hitch and harness alone approached $500. It would be for the 2013 and not the 2016, which is mostly a "Hanger Queen". Jargon we used in the military when we had our aircraft sitting in the hanger for long periods of time.

Good evening all, I have a 2016 Sport, but when I optioned it out, Ford did not offer a tow package for the Sport. I also have a 2013 Edge SEL AWD, which at the time, a tow option was offered. I would like to install a factory tow hitch and wiring harness. What I would like to know is, has anyone in this forum done a factory tow hitch install? I’m thinking, and I hope I am right is, there should be attaching holes already punched into the rear sub frame to attach a tow hitch and the wiring harness ready to accept a plug in trailer harness. Also, is there a factory trailer tow module needed?

Good evening all, I don’t drive my 2016 Sport much, but I recently noticed my cup holder lighting doesn’t light up while driving at night. It does come on when entering/ exiting my vehicle though. Is there something I programmed and turned it off or does it not light up while driving? If this is the case, it’s a stupid idea. Unless it has something to do with the reflection off the windscreen at night. My 2010 Mercury Mariner stays lit after dark. Has anyone else experienced or noticed this quirk?

It seems like this body style is all the rage these days. BMW and Mercedes have been flaunting this design for a few years. I think Ford watched these two to see how successful their sales figures would be before diving in. Ford needs to drop a Coyote motor in it as an option.

As far as I know, yes it is the factory tint and I will take into consideration on applying a film for added measure, thanks.

Not sure if you received my reply. Yes I still have the cover. I don’t read my forms on a regular basis. If you are still interested text to 443-910-2635, thanks.

Good day all, I have a 2016 Sport with 19,000 miles on the odometer. After noticing a lot of 2.7 EcoBoost owners complaining of oil leaks from this motor, I starting keeping an eye on my garage floor. Low and behold, the oil spots are now showing up there. I took it to my dealer to have a service done and ask the service advisor if he was aware of the problem with the 2.7, and he said " not to his knowledge". Of course now it is out of warranty. If I have to, I will be on Ford like an "Alabama wood tick" and pester them until this is resolved. They know they have a problem, so what is a satisfactory permanent fix. If the plastic pan is the issue, replace it with an aluminum one, not steel. Instead of having the oil pan removed several times, I will wait it out. "Slayer" doesn't get ridden that often anyway.

Thanks for the info on tempered vs laminate. I’m thinking Ford never incorporated the film coating due to cost, but I’m grateful for having the “hanger queen” back on the road. BTW the Nautilus is on my wish list. Great looking vehicle!

Evening all, I have a like new factory vehicle cover by Covercraft, which I ordered when I optioned out my 2016 Edge Sport. Used only to cover my Sport while it sat in my climate controlled garage for a period of time. Never used outside and was eventually folded and put away in its bag. This is the one Ford markets and it is very well made and padded for all season protection. As I said, like new condition. Paid well over $200. Asking $150 or OBO.

Evening all, It’s been some time since I listed this item and never reposted it at a later date. I have a front bra that will fit model years 2011>2014 Edge. Made by Colgan, a premier maker of vehicle bras. Not one of those cheap Chinese knock offs. Used only twice to protect my 2013 Edge while on vacation, cleaned and packed away in the original box. A new one will set you back about $165, but will let it move for $75+SH. If you have one of these model year Edges and want to protect the front from stone chips, this is a great bargain. I have a 2016 Edge Sport and no longer need it.

That is a really great price, considering the price of a factory OEM wheel only lists for $900 to $1100 each, from Ford.

From one veteran to another, been there done that. When I see a service member in a restaurant line I will offer to purchase their meal and thank them for their continued service. My career started as a tanker went to jump school, became Infantry became an Army Ranger. Got out for eight years, couldn’t stand civilian life. Came back to Aviation, went to school for helicopter maintenance, worked my way into an AeroScout slot where I learned to fly scout helicopters, as a scout. Then, became an Army medic, worked my way into flight medic school then finally retiring with 26 satisfying years of service to my country. Also, did two tours in Kuwait, as a contractor supporting OIF 2007 and 2008.

Good evening all, I took the “hanger queen” into my local Ford dealership to have the cracked sunroof replaced. I held out as long as I could for Ford to find a laminate one like the one it was built with. I checked with Carlex aka Carlite and Ford asking why they made the decision to replace laminate glass with the tempered glass. The answer from Carlite was Ford made it stronger, lighter and “cheaper”. Everything I know about tempered glass, is it shatters into thousands of pieces. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a fan of getting shower of glass on my head. When a leading consumer magazine did an article on unexplained panoramic sunroof explosions, which the Ford Edge was included, they also said laminate was a safer option. I checked the new Edge ST and it also has been replaced with a tempered glass made by Pilkington with a Ford logo. I brought the sunroof home with me in hopes someone will start a class action lawsuit started to make Ford install laminate overhead for panoramic sunroof applications. Now , at least, I can take her for a bath without the fear of a leak, hopefully. And get a coat of ceramic sealer.

Another comment why Ford has a metal replacement is there are more F150's sold in the United States than any other vehicle brand and if Ford wants to remain top dog in truck sales and possibly make it to being on top for 50 years, they have to keep their truck audience satisfied and content. The Edge nameplate will be long gone before then.
