  1. I agree with FAST380. This sounds like Lane Keeping is on and you're not used to it, or it may be set to its highest sensitivity. I've never had that steering issue with my '16 Edge Sport.
  2. Good news, less good news on the adaptive steering fault fix. Good news: Fixed. Less good news: The techs forgot to reprogram the car so that the adaptive steering works. (The option is grayed out in the instrument cluster.) So I'm stuck with regular power steering until I go back for that fix. I can live with that. First world problems.
  3. Yes, my understanding is that the fix is a new steering wheel. I'll update/confirm when I have the Edge worked on on Friday.
  4. Mine has come and gone for a month. Took it to the dealer last week, who acknowledged the issue; My Edge is going back in at the end of the week for the fix.
  5. Over 10,000 miles since December, I've averaged just under 22mpg, with an 80/20 highway/local roads mix. On longer road trips like the one I'm on now, I get 25-26ish mpg (doing 75mph with mainly highway driving and no stop-and-go) with my Sport fairly well loaded. No complaints.
  6. Hey, rvcjew. How do I get into engineering mode?
  7. FWIW, the fault warning light has come and gone several times over the past week, and is now off. Though I can tell the adaptive steering function is no longer working. Since I'm on vacation, I haven't taken the Edge in to the dealer for the steering wheel fix. Will update the thread when that's done with the results. Still loving the Edge, though!
  8. So my '16 Edge Sport w/9400 miles, built 5/16 and bought in December, has joined the Adaptive Steering Fault club. Light came on for the first time ever today. If it stays on, it's off to the dealer for a (hopefully) fix! Sigh.
  9. Hand washed my Red Edge, even though I had to pull the hose through snow banks (which are rapidly melting this weekend in RI). Now I just have to avoid melting puddles while driving.
  10. Question for those using CarPlay in the '16+ Edge (after software/hub update): Do you think the Apple Maps screen looks too washed out -- especially at night? The daytime version isn't too bad, but at night, the whole display looks like it has a film over it, making street names and streets themselves hard to see clearly, especially in comparison to the built in Nav, which is crisp and clear. I've tried various permutations of adjusting the screen brightness up and down, but nothing seems to help much. This seems to be something coming from the Apple side of things, since the vehicle display itself has plenty of contrast. I'm running the latest iOS 10.3 beta, BTW, and have tried adjusting settings in iOS for accessibility, brightness/contrast etc. That has no effect on the vehicle display at all. It's bad enough that I've taken to disabling CarPlay and accessing my music/messages etc. using Sync 3. It's not as elegant as CarPlay, but works most times. Thoughts? Suggestions? TIA.
  11. Congrats! That's a really sharp looking Edge!
  12. I had trim removal tools and followed the steps others had used to pull the hub out from the front. It was a bear. Undoing it from behind (after removing some of the center console trim pieces) seems to be the smoother/easier way to go. Attached is an image of the old hub after I finally got it out (using needle nosed pliers).
  13. Hey richzx14. If you wait for Ford, the elusive update may never show up. They've been promising this for 2016 models for about a year now. That said, the update IS available and is a fairly easy DIY. This thread has all the info you need :http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/21394-sync-3-and-carplayandroid-auto-information/ Go to page 4 (postings around Dec. 12 or 13) for specifics on getting the update file, which you download to a flash drive and plug the flash drive into the vehicle's USB port. You'll also likely need a new USB hub, since most 2016s came with an older hub not enabled for Apple Car Play. That part is available from Ford dealers for about $55 and can be installed yourself. It's a bit of a pain to get the old hub out; the new just pops right in, though. You don't need the new hub if you're just doing Android Auto. The software update enables that as well. Car Play is convenient, though Apple Maps isn't as graphically nice as the Sync 3 system nav maps. (It looks washed out on my screen, anyway.) Hope this helps. PS: I really like the Kona blue myself. I think both colors look great!
  14. Hey Driv200. I don't know if this will help, but I picked up a leftover 2016 Edge Sport Dec. 1 that had been on the dealer's lot since June (build date, May 5, 2016). Ruby Red, 401A, cold weather package and the BAMR (panoramic roof) for just over 39K. Original sticker was $46,760. Only thing it didn't have that I'd have liked was the adaptive cruise package. I have the 20-in. wheels, not the 21s. This was in southern, Mass. I'd think you should be at least below $39K at this point, but YMMV. I have over 4K miles on it already and LOVE it. No issues to report, though I did have to update the Sync3 system and buy a USB hub to get Apple Car Play working. Good luck. The Ruby Red is a real looker!
