I have to get rid of these factory "upgraded" 20" wheels - show me what you got! Anyone seen an Edge w/ Shelby Torq Thrust M?? I kind of like the old school muscle car wheels.

that is just great news ... after 3 hours of no call from my dealer - I called back... "do you want to make and appointment" NO I want to talk to somebody... "Well we have to see it".... you already have... "OK.. Do you want the service manager you call you back".... YES sounds like a waste of my time if your "new wheels" are still clicking!

waiting on a return phone call. thanks.

any update or fix on this??? my second set is clicking so bad!!

Steve, I have also noticed the "driveway clicking" as the sun heats up the plastic covers! I hope they fix this.. I'm on my 2nd set - I'll get them replaced (again) when they get the problem fixed.

Every morning I back out of my driveway and once I start to move forward I get this loud "moan" (hard to discribe) ... "moan"....."moan"... "moan".... then slowly it fades away. I'm guessing it has something to do with the brakes. If I hold the brakes lightly for the first 100 feet no "moan" - or at least not as loud. Anyone else have this?? 08 Edge Lim - 20" wheels. I thought at first it was just over night rust rubbing off but wouldn't that come off after backing up 30' out of the driveway? My driveway is on an incline so I'm using the brakes to back out.

I have an 08 Edge Limited, Black - I've heard the same sound - not all the time - usually just backing out of my driveway (slight incline) I have also heard the same sound from my wife's 07 Mazda CX9 - similar car.

My 20" Chrome Clad wheels were doing the same thing (noise and turning brass) 800 miles at the time -wheels were backordered for a couple of weeks but the dealership replaced all four wheels. The new wheels were "clicking" before a got home - I'm about 5 miles away from the dealership! Service Manager said he would call Ford - that was a week ago - no word yet.

So one day after getting the wheels replaced.. they are clicking again.. this time not just turning but going straight too. I think these ones are worse than the first set! I stopped at the dealer on the way home from work - service manager said he would see if he could find out any more details and call me back. He said the only things that were reused were the center caps, lugs, and tires. I asked him if Ford would be willing to downgrade (if you want to call it that) to a different wheel. I doubt that - but worth a try. Heck - I'd accept some of my $800 premium wheel upgrade back - then go out and buy aftermarkets. (that will never happen) I'll see what the say next week... but for a 30k plus car this is not acceptable. So far I love the rest of the car.

No problem. yeah my pet peeve is "my bad" - that gets me going. I see what you mean about RIM / WHEEL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rim_(wheel)

wheels... rims... i hear you.. relax. btw - they replaced the entire WHEEL!

So they replaced all four wheels yesterday... so far no clicking noise... I'll give it a few weeks - i bet it comes back. I do have to take it back - looks like they damaged one rim (maybe mounting it?) the clad part and the rim both have small dents (about the size of a flathead screwdriver). Plus this rim also has a crappy chrome job - you can see that brass color towards the hub. Worst part about this entire deal is that I never really "loved" these rims. Maybe it's time for some nice aftermarkets.

Here is my toy.... 1955 Chevy Bel Air

I don't have the factory NAV option - maybe that saves me from the Line In bug.

glad it worked.. i have noticed that the shuffle setting must reset after the car restarts - i've had the same song replay in the morning and during my trip home from work. What do you mean getting Sync to alway recongnize the USB device? I keep my ipod connected and each morning Sync connects and starts playing from the day before. Only once or twice Sync got mixed up and connected to the media stream of my bluetooth phone (which i don't use)????

Lex, this is how i've corrected the bug... with car on and ipod connected (ipod is stuck on bug) with the ipod connected to the usb port turn off the car and open the door wait for the Ford logo go off with ipod still on use the ipod to select shuffle turn back on the car this seems to keep all play shuffle even after restart - i've only noticed that the bug comes back after the ipod was removed i've only tried all play shuffle.

Lex, I get the same issue using my ipod nano. I have noticed that if i set the ipod to shuffle(through the ipod) and don't unplug it (i keep in in my car) the next day it resumes it's all play shuffle.

They said "we are ordering you four new wheels"... i thought the chrome clad was "glued" to the wheel and could not be "replaced"?

They were going to only replace my front rims too... then I asked them about the "brass" color showing thru the chrome (towards the hub) on all four rims.. they called me back and said they will replace all four. The replacements are still on backorder.

When i first got my Edge I had a Motorola V710 - would NOT work with sync... Since I was ready for a phone upgrade thru Verizon I picked up an LG EnV2 ($3.00 after discount and rebate :hyper: ) and it works with no problems.

so my dealer called and confirmed the front clicking and the TSB - said they would replace all four wheels. He stated that they are on backorder so it might be a couple of weeks.

I too have an 08 Edge LTD with the Premium 20" "hub caps". I have about 700 miles and also get the clicking sound from the front wheels. I also have a slight brass color on the rim towards the hub (driverside wheel). I called my dealer's service department - Monday they want to pull the wheel and have a look. I'll keep you posted.
