Its likely a bad seal on the steering rack and the leaked oil is collecting in the concertina boots and only after they're FULL will it start leaking out to the ground.

 However if you have the 2.0l and it's collapsed the is a chance of debris from the cat ending up in the turbo and taking out the turbo.

Is that possible? - the turbo is upstream of the CAT in the exhaust gas flow path.

What model/year/engine ?

It’s apparent that you didn’t take it to a reputable  mechanic - the first thing that should have been done on finding an issue with the timing and before going ahead with the replacement of the timing components, would be to assess the consequential damage knowing that this is an interference engine.

Throwing more parts at it isn’t going to help - you need to consider a replacement engine.

I have a 2021 Ford Edge ST, and when going on a road trip will get a sensor failure fault about every 30 minutes. It usually resets withing 30 minutes from the time of the fault. I have taken it to the dealer the last three oil changes, and they perform the diagnostic test, but because they cannot replicate the failure they have not been able to fix the problem. Failure to replicate the problem I believe may also prevent them from just replacing the sensor, the concern being Ford will not compensate them.  The car is still in warranty with 30,000 miles. The problem occurs only after driving for about an hour at highway speeds. It is the same wheel which move from front left, to rear left because of tire rotation. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or has any suggestions?   

Take a photo of the fault indication and show it to the service manager - the service manager can report it as a failure without mentioning that its intermittent - if its the dealership where you bought it they'll be more inclined to help get it passed by Corp.

"Salon" ?

OK guys, current status: I checked the parking brake pads and the piston movements. The pads look almost like new, no difference in thickness to new ones. The pistons in the calipers move nicely, everything seems to be in ship-shape. So I closed everything again. The squeal is still there, louder than ever!

Would be good to get photos of your installation.

Does yours have separate pads for the parking brake, not shoes like the above YT video ?

If its pads squealing I would put a small bevel/chamfer  on the leading and trailing edge of the pads.

Welcome.

I haven't seen any other posts with oil consumption issues in the 2.7TT which leads me to believe that its not a common problem.

Do you have an extended warranty? - if so take it in for an official oil consumption test, and depending the outcome they should cover the repairs or replacement engine.

Asl check the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve and make sure its not allowing oil to be fed into the intake, if that's good then do a compression and leak-down test.

I use a Catch-Can and it will alert me to any malfunction with the PCV system.

But my question is:

Will this crack get bigger and cause the performance and drivability to worsen?

Welcome and sorry to hear of your predicament.

Yes, most certainly - just can't predict at what rate it will worsen.

My friend used a reputable independent and a Ford re-manufactured engine - cant recall the amount but it was less that $8K.

Have you been in touch with Ford Corp.?

I'm looking to upgrade my basic 4 inch screen to a 8 inch Sync 3 system in my 2013 Edge, but I can't seem to find any videos with the disassembly. I'm a bit lost where the APIM is located.

Welcome.

Not familiar with the latest models, but my 2017 updates over WiFi were so slow - I tried it once and cancelled it and went with downloading to USB.

Check this site to see if download to USB is available.

Maybe @Haz can help.

The TPMS sensors installed one year ago in my Edge are working great, and so are the ones installed in my BMW motorcycle two years ago - both sets bought from the same country that made my 4 yo cell phone which is still working flawlessly.

I replaced my evap purge valve and the only symptoms was a minor stumble at idle immediately after gassing up and a stored error code  - haven't had any further issues since installing the new evap purge valve.

I doubt that an evap purge valve could cause it to die while driving.

This is the tape to buy.

Thank you for the info it is 2007 edge SEL

please add that to your profile signature - https://www.fordedgeforum.com/settings/signature/

If its got to the point of making the noise you describe, an oil change is unlikely to help.

What model, year, AWD, .........? - please add that to your profile signature - https://www.fordedgeforum.com/settings/signature/

BUMP !

Thanks @Haz

One more favor, do you have the part number for those white plastic clips?

Edit: I think I found them.

With the weather forecast change tomorrow is also a bike day, so I just took it through the car wash and zero leaks.

Now just waiting to see if @Haz can help with instructions to remove the trim piece so that I can attach the loose plastic clip, and be done with Safelite for good.

I was able to fish the loose clip out from under the trim and now the trim's curvature matches the windshield.

@Haz please help with a guide to removed the plastic trim mentioned above.

The wipers are removed to lift the plastic trim that runs across the top edge of the bulkhead.

I don't see any body damage.

For today's install I cannot find any fault with the glass, but notice that the plastic trim between the top edge of the windshield and the moon roof was raised in one spot - I lifted it slightly and could see one of the white nylon clips is loose and obviously not letting the trim go down all the way.

I'm going to do a search to see how to lift that trim piece and correct the one clip - will go through the files @Haz posted.

Edit: I can't see why they would need to lift this trim piece.

Tomorrow's a bike day, so will take it through the car wash on Friday and if its leak free I'm done with Safelite - if there's an issue I'll be in touch with my insurance to see how I can get this job done by another supplier.

I do not recommend Safelite.

My third windshield is scheduled for installation at 3pm tomorrow - I'll report back how that goes.

The install of the current windshield is good, just that I'm not prepared to live with what appears to be a factory second.

Talking of Dicks and lawnmowers - I use my bike for my work commute in good weather and one afternoon I came around a fairly sharp curve to find a SOB had laid a thick bed of grass cuttings on the road - caused some sphincter pucker but got through it safely.

That's no way to test a battery - get it load tested at a place like AutoZone.

Old style trickle chargers are unsafe  and high risk of damaging a battery - get a modern battery tender/maintainer.

Checked battery, which seems to be ok.

How did you do that?

"seems to be ok" -  not sure what's meant by that.
