I got the notice on Monday that parts are now available and we can get our cars serviced. Does anyone have access to Ford's procedure for the dealers, as to what will be covered under the recall? I don't want to have the dealer trying to charge me for the brake fluid flush that I assume is part of the procedure.

My Samsung wireless charger interferes with my Citizen atomic watch. It never gets the signal if I leave it near my charging phone at night. No phone, it gets the signal fine.

For those rusty pipes. ?

I agree, they often aren't. In this case, they are.

I understand now why there are different numbers for left and right. Rock Auto is much cheaper than Amazon on these, about $7 each. So, even with shipping, it is a better deal. I try to buy automotive parts from automotive parts dealers, other products also from their specialty dealers. I'm afraid of a world where Amazon becomes the only place to go to.

I just wanted to recount my experience replacing my wipers, 2016 Edge SEL. I was amazed the original blades lasted about 4 years, never had that before. So, I wanted to replace with the same, Motorcraft. When ordering from Rock Auto, I didn't notice that I was ordering WW2801PF, which is a universal replacement, it has several adapters in the package. I was disappointed that these blades were noisier than the originals, and didn't seem to wipe as well. After a few months, I went to the Motorcraft website. They show these blades as replacement, but show other blades as OE replacements. They are WW2755 for left, and WW2760 for right. I don't know why they need different numbers for right and left, you would think they would be the same. Anyway, these blades come with the Edge adapter pre-installed, and no other adapters in the package. I am happy to say these are just as quiet as the originals, and wipe very well. My advice to anyone replacing with Motorcraft is to buy these OE replacements. Rock Auto had these, as well.

Ford's policy on map updates really sucks. We recently got a Honda CR-V for my wife. It has the Garmin navigation system. You get 5 years of free updates. Last week I decided to check if there was an update, since the car came with the 2019 maps. Sure enough, I was able to update her car to the 2020 maps, totally free. Ford's $109 update only goes to 1/2018, really not worth it.

Welcome to the forum. There's lots to learn here.

I've seen a Youtube of someone removing this battery. When you remove the hold down in the front, you can then slide the battery towards you, making the negative terminal accessible. I haven't actually done this, but I also have a 2016 and expect to be doing this soon, so I'll be interested to hear from someone who has actually changed the battery.

Well, hopefully this saga has come to a happy ending. I got called on Tuesday that the apim was in, scheduled installation for today, Thursday. I waited for it, it seemed much more organized and relaxed at the service department than when I had been there in January. Two hours and it was done. As a bonus, the new apim came with the updated navigation, so I didn't have to pay for that. Just the $50 deductible of my Premiere plan. I just realized, the maps are 1 17, not the latest 1 18. I didn't even know 1 17 existed. It's still a big step up from the 1 14 the car came with.

One reason to keep an inexpensive 12VDC compressor in your trunk.

CARR142, how long did it take to get the APIM each time you had it replaced? Btw, bummer that you have had to do it twice. I see in the latest Consumer Reports reliability ratings the Edge gets a poor rating for in-car electronics. It's too bad, since the Sync system is great when it is working.

Latest update... It's now 6 weeks since the part was ordered, still not in. The service advisor, who is not responsive at all (I always have to call him, he has never called me back), is saying he doesn't think the APIM will be covered under the Premium Care extended warranty. I looked at the list of covered components and it shows both navigation and Sync to be covered. He also doesn't know why the part is taking so long to come in. This is going to be fun.

Thanks for the write up. I have 30k on my 2016 2.0L, and this looks like what I will be doing this spring.

Well, here it is two weeks later and still no APIM. The dealer claims Ford does not release these that quickly and it could take a while longer, no exact guess. Has anyone gotten a new APIM from a dealer? If so, how long did it take to get it? This whole mess is getting ridiculous. It's almost a month since I first called for an appointment. It's a good thing I have Android Auto, as I have had to use Waze a couple of times during this. Interestingly, that works fine. I guess the APIM doesn't control the Android Auto apps.

Well, the dealer ordered the APIM, he concurred with jmr061's diagnosis. I've got the car back, awaiting the part. Getting there wasn't so easy. I brought the car in Tuesday morning, as the appointment called for. They didn't look at the car until today, Friday. I've never experienced that before. They claimed they were incredibly backed up, and had no loaner cars available. I'm not looking forward to when I bring the car back for the installation, to have to go through this again.

With all the electronics on this vehicle, the ESP is not such a bad purchase. I'm currently experiencing problems with the Sync system on my 2016. If it requires an APIM replacement, as some on this forum think, that is over $1k repair. I'm glad I have the ESP.

Appointment at the dealer for January 14. I'll let you all know what happens.

I do have an extended warranty. This afternoon I did a master reset. I got mixed results, a little better performance but still not what it should be. I'll give it the rest of the week, then make an appointment at the dealer.

Interesting, I have a Motorcraft filter in there now that has the pre-filter. I'll probably be changing it again this spring, I'll have to see what's available.

My Michelins were doing fine, 2016 Edge SEL. Then, I got a nail in a tire in a spot that couldn't be fixed. With 30k on the car, I didn't want to replace just the one tire. So, I got a set of Firestone Destination LE2's. I had just had those put on my wife's Odyssey, and I previously had them on a RAV4. I've always been happy with them. So far, they feel great. I'm just disappointed that the Michelins were wearing well, I think I would have gotten 50k out of them.

I'm not sure you will be able to buy a version without the pre-filter. I went through this when I replaced the filter on my 2016 Edge. It seems all the aftermarket, including Motorcraft, have that pre-filter.

2016 Edge SEL. I'm on Sync 3.0, build 19205. I didn't do the 19205 update myself, it must have been over the air. The whole Sync system is very sluggish, it can take 10-15 seconds after pushing an on screen choice before it responds. This is all through the Sync system: audio, nav, everything. It was never like this before. The NAV screen freezes often, then takes off with a jolt and catches up. Sometimes, the map goes blank, then reappears. This makes it useless for navigation function. If I do a reset, how far back will it take me? Or any other suggestions. Thanks.

Have you tried to lubricate the cylinder? Try a silicone or Teflon spray.
