My wife's 2016 Edge Sport has spent quite a bit of time in the shop during its short life. Had the steering wheel replaced (the variable rate steering issues), the radio replaced, and the cylinder heads replaced. Other than the radio, everything was replaced due to TSBs. We're at 31,000 miles now, with likely four months until we're out of the bumper-to-bumper coverage due to mileage. It looks like a warranty would cost about $3,000 for 8 years, 150,000 miles. How's everyone else's repair history been? Thanks for any input you might have.

Are your tires the right size?

So track it by hand and compare.

It's an average, so when you reset it it'll display what you're getting at the moment. Over time, the average will become more... average.

Awesome work! You'll love it!

That's exactly why he should check locally, rather than take advice from people here in the US.

That's in the US. Overseas, its best to check your own manual or call your local Ford office. Warranties and service requirements often change from one country to the next.

Does the Nissan still have that anemic engine? A friend at work got one last year, and she really doesn't like it. Buying a car and not liking it has to really stink. Our Edge is my wife's daily driver. She really, really enjoys it.

We've just got the 20s, and I'd really prefer the stock Titanium wheels. Having driven both enough, the small wheels feel better to me. Depends on the road surfaces, though. If you're in a place with great roads, it may not matter as much. Here, there's an interstate with reasonably good concrete that just doesn't jibe with our Sport. Felt fine on a Titanium, and has always been fine on our other vehicles. I'm not a person that values the appearance of wheels, so that skews my opinion.

Only you can decide the value of the features in 401a. You know your finances, your preferences, and how long you may keep the car. All that said, I've enjoyed my Sport with 401a.

I don't have anything overly helpful to contribute, but I do have a suggestion. Stick a dash cam of some sort where it can document what's happening (if it could see the gauge cluster, that would be ideal). When it happens, verbally describe what you're doing. I'd think that would help you to make a successful lemon law claim.

Yes, there's a fix. They replace the wheel with a revised one.

I'm interested, too. My 2008 minivan's stock system sounds better than the Edge's.

Most people use a USB cable to charge their phones. Two USB ports is nice to have for that. Can't say I've got much 12v stuff left.

Learn to signal, like you're supposed to. It's not hard, it's courteous, and it's the right thing to do.
