After a quick google, it seems like a lot of other manufacturers are also having the same type of issue. Someone better figure it out

Hah I wish, they probably would have refused to pay for one. That's surprising, they better be teaching them how to do things properly. Would hate to see peoples engines getting damaged from over/under filling, loose plugs, oil caps that don't get put back on. etc.

Next time I will, thank you! I spent 8 hours downloading files -__-

My explanation as of now (feel free to add your opinion): High throttle input = more fuel being injected, but when in a higher gear(3-6), engine rpm low = not a lot of airflow into the engine....Transmission doesn't shift quick enough, rpm doesn't go up enough, resulting in not enough air in the combustion chamber, causing too much un-burnt fuel to enter the cat, causing a funky smell. Hence why under the aggressive shift tune the smell is gone, the transmission is shifting much quicker under throttle inputs, air flow is increased much quicker, causing less richness if the a/f mix. Recorded a bunch of stats today, over the course of 3 hours, was able to replicate the smell under certain conditions each time. March 2017: Smell's been back a few times.

Awesome! For anyone considering buying a 72 hr pass, do it. There's a ton of documents to download and organize, but its well worth it. The site is basically the same as what the dealer techs have access to.

Got my dealer to do the first oil change. After picking up the vehicle and going home I noticed there was engine oil spilled on the bumper. I then opened the hood and there was engine oil all over the engine cover, spilled on the headlamp housing, all over the engine surrounding the oil filter area. I then checked underneath and the entire oil pan was drenched, and there was oil on the under body cladding. I cleaned it up and stopped by the dealer the next day and spoke with the owner and he apologized and offered a free oil change and cleaning, I told him no thanks (I didn't want to clean up a mess a second time). I couldn't understand how a tech could be that careless on a car that barely had 5000 km's on it. And the damn thing was shiny and clean when I dropped it off, so there is no excuse of "eh well the owner doesn't take care of it, so why should I" Life lesson: If you want something done right, do it yourself. (as long as you know how)

I was wondering what brand / type of oil people are using so I made a survey. http://www.strawpoll.me/10868991Pick a brand and a type.

Perhaps the bulbs were burnt out, ford might have used 2 or 3 bulbs in the housing to illuminate each part. The 2014 taillights are halogen bulbs and look like the letter D, and the 2015 are led and shaped like a eye.

Strange that it smells like sulfur, according to this: http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-to/a536/2423551/ and a few other sources, it could be too much fuel is being injected under the increased load. This does makes sense though because the pcm may be trying to keep temps lower by injecting more fuel. Strange how it only happens under hard accelerations(and not eased accelerations), tomorrow I'm going to see what the fuel trim is like when I'm giving it wide open throttle. If its super rich then the cat probably wont be working as it should, which could produce the smell. (http://www.aa1car.com/library/converter.htm) For me it doesn't smell a lot like sulfur, more like burning plastic, although I've never smelt sulfur. Also after a spirited drive, the entire engine bay smells like burning plastic(similar to the odour inside the car), somewhat sweet smelling as well (hopefully not coolant) I wonder what’s actually causing the smell, it has to be some sort of pcv/exhaust/vacuum line that's connected into or near the cabin air system, because when the hvac is off, the smell doesn't enter the cabin. Then again when the hvac is on, there is a 'vacuum' that's going into the car which could be sucking the smell in from the engine bay, but where the heck is the smell escaping from the engine! Or could it just be a plastic component that smells when it heats up. This is frustrating because it could literally be a hundred different things. If I do buy a service manual I'm going to see what is connected to the cabin air system, or whats near the intake for it. Maybe we could ask LMS what exactly they are doing with the fuel injection in their tune? It could lead us somewhere. Anyways, back to pretending like the smell is just something that we pass by on the road

The powerstop kit looks great, and its priced reasonably. Sure just let me sell my kidneys, and I'll be sure to place an order, $7000 isn't justifiable for a daily driver for me. Although I bet those brakes are awesome

Has anyone purchased an access code to the motor craft website? Is it worth it? Are the service manuals up to date? https://www.motorcraftservice.com/ https://www.motorcraftservice.com/Purchase/ViewProduct - the 72 hr one makes the most sense If I do get a pass, I'll update this post with the results July 31st : Read the 4th Post, its a much better solution

really hope a company releases a kit for the 2.7 edge, its going to save us from some expensive carbon cleaning in the long run

Has anyone attempted a brake upgrade on their 15' edge? These stock ones have so much fade after a little bit of hard braking.

That might work, only concern is that second wedge cushion looks like it is separate from the rear/bottom portion, but they could be sewn together. Thank you!

Does anyone else with the 15 sport find that the seat bottom isn't long enough to support their legs? My legs get super sore after driving for a few hours. I looked at different ways to extend the thigh support and the only thing that seems like it would work is to take it into an upholstery shop and have them add foam to the seat cushion to lengthen it. Does anyone have any better ideas? (besides putting a pillow on the seat)

Has anyone been able to get their hands on an oil catch can for their Edge? I've seen many options for the F-150 2.7 Ecoboost, but none for the Edge. Also a secondary question, I read somewhere on the forums that someone with a LMS tune no longer had that funky smell entering the cabin under hard accelerations, can anyone else confirm this?
