  1. And yet... Last quarter... The Edge had one of the highest ratings for loyalty ownership across all vehicles. RIP Edge after 2023 as Ford doesn't listen to customers.
  2. I never recommend finding kick starts. Too easy for funds to disappear. Those that do make it like AA wireless end up cheaper after entering mainstream, and if good have plenty of competition soon after.
  3. Whien connecting to your car for AA or Carplay wirelessly, it really is useless for anything but short trips. It sucks tons of power, and with, the screen on, Navigation running, and music playing, wireless chargers can't really pump out enough watts. Most loose power with this kind of draw, and when the phone heats up things get even worse. They are designed to use when phone not in use to get a charge. Very few devices even put out more than 12- 15 watts, and even then phone will probably over heat and shut off. Get the magnet or a right angle USB c, and leave the wireless charger for the passenger unless the want control of car entertainment.
  4. Confirmed gone from many sources. Plants will become EV makers. Interestingly it was one of their better sellers, but that means nothing to Ford. Kill the Bronco, oh wait... Kill the Ranger... Oh wait..... I expect a similar sized model will come back after they push out all the Explorers, but as an EV.
  5. If you mean accessing from the screen like on Sync4a in the 2021& 2022s, I guess anything is possible given enough time, money and parts... but would probably be cheaper to buy a new car. I have seen guys upgrade dashboard screens using parts from lincolns, but even that was a pita and generally took customized software. I would assume it would be like changing an old TV with manual knobs to electronic buttons.
  6. New torque converter could still be bad, or installed incorrectly. My issue was the worst right around 40 mph when letting off gas, or adding with a light pedal. Never hurts to double check since you are under warranty. Had a Ford ranger xlt, Ford rebuilt the tranny 3 times in 3,000 miles because the mechanics kept getting it wrong.
  7. Also check torque converter. I had a bad one on my old Titanium right from delivery. Dealer kept telling me software update will fix it. Kept getting worse until it felt like I was being rear ended . Finally found a new dealer, and just before warranty was running out got correct diagnoses and they replaced and rebuilt entire tranny since it was damaged from due to condition going on for so long.
  8. Nope. Mine work, just slow and lazy. Doesn't always get commands right and wish they had included seat Warners as an option. Check that you have latest apim updates, there is a thread here or head over to Ford support. You can set up car to get them wireless.
  9. Yea, that was the first part I added. Mostly to protect hood paint from heat. They left off engine cover as well, but I like seeing the engine so I can notice possible issues and make sure no critters hiding inside. They love making beds under those nice warm pretty engine covers
  10. " 2021 Edges built on or before the third week of May, 2021 were fitted with Rear Center Bumper Cover Shields. 2021 Edges built on or after the fourth week of May, 2021 and all 2022 Edges were not fitted with Rear Center Bumper Cover Shields" Amazing research. Checked mine, shield in place. Manufactured March 2021. Bought in Dec. I guess that's why the dealer gave me a deal, had it too long. Small town, guess he doesn't sell many STs.
  11. According to manual, tire pressure is not read accurately until car is on and moving for a few minutes, meaning tires must be turning. A spare never turns while in storage. So even if you could register a fifth wheel, the 5th would never respond accurately. They sell tpms kits to add to cars, motorcycles, golf carts, rvs.... Most read accurately without movement. I was suggesting you may want to buy one of these after market addons, such as a MC since only 2 tires, put one of the sensors on the spare, and the portable screen/ reader could be kept anywhere in your car and you use it to check spare.
  12. Very doubtful, also the tries need to be rotating for a few minutes to get accurate reading. You'd be better off with a second set bought off Amazon with it's own system. These are generally sold for motorcycles up to RVs, trucks, ect...
  13. 2021, ST, nothing flaps. Trailer tail light hookup wasn't seated in holder and dangling, but took 5 seconds to put back in place. Take it in, tell the to correct. If they refuse, contact Ford Customer Svc. I am assuming Ford option, not after market add on.
  14. My 2021 has been flawless. Only wish they left manual controls for seat heater and air conditioner. Using screen while moving can sometimes be a little tricky as you should be watching road not screen. Still trying to use voice to set controls, but sometimes not recognized properly. You know you can add a wireless backup camera right? Many options for where to put screen.
  15. I have used one of these too, pretty good. Only issue I had was it sticking out of bottom sometimes made it Rocky on my bed side wireless charger and big bumps in car sometimes caused disconnect. Magnets pretty strong though and much better than wireless pad. PS forgot, if you use a phone case, you may have to modify the charger opening to accommodate

    ST Overheating

    Makes much more sense. Let them have it, consider an extended warranty. Search this forum, you'll see some Ford discounts, dealer might match. PennFed has great rates for powertrain coverage, plan to buy one just before I hit 1 year ownership.
  17. Uhaul. One stop shop with tremendous guarantee on their install.

    ST Overheating

    I haven't . . Love the car. 2021 ST. PS they want it back??? Never heard of this on a used car. I have seen them send techs and engineer to inspect, tear down at dealer site, had this on vette i bought that wouldn't shift correctly. Are they buying it back from you or properly compensating you?
  19. Couple of years ago rented a Ford Fusion. Got hit by a deer on front left side of car. Was driveable to get replacement. On the way to get replacement the air conditioner gave out, (compressor), and the bill my insurer got was over $5k. And thats' before today's inflation. Be careful. Best guess seller wants to keep insurance cash and stick someone else with the bills. They always find more once they start repairing.
  20. Sticks how? Door frame, latch... If latch try silicone spray, if plastic door, may be out of alignment, or if you are in very hot climate may have warped. I'm assuming sticks with nothing in it, so not over weight or oversized objects.
  21. This is a problem with all modern smartphones and most wireless chargers. They will charge some if phone screen off and nothing running. But turn on wireless AA or Carplay, use GPS and let some tunes flow... And you're using more power than the charger puts out. Some of these new phones pull almost Same amps as a small tablet. In my opinion they are only good for bedside, desk charging or a passenger phone not being used. Only fix is plug in a cord. If your phone is actually moving or vibrating off charging plate, get a thinner tackier/rubberized phone case. Clean the pad too, it may have some oils on it.
  22. Ford must be on it. Got another update yesterday. Details page not coming up for me, but guessing it was some bugs such as camera. I don't have 360 so unsure. If available on your car, highly recommend adding your home wifi if it reaches garage, seems to help me get updates quickly.
  23. Yep. Works perfect on my 2021, and I've had to use it several times. New cars are just like computers and smartphones, need to reboot every now and then. Turning car off does not reset apim
  24. Remember radio power button simultaneously with fast forward button for 10-15 seconds is your friend. It soft resets apim on lock ups, glitches, recent updates ...
  25. I would give it a few days and see what happens. It is probably a server side issue. Then you could do a factory reset if not working, and it should come back up. By any chance do you live in an area of limited cell service or have you set up connection to your house wifi if it reaches garage? This could help if it needs to download data or update. I just got a letter on a recall or bad back up camera screen and my car auto updated it without a visit to dealer
