The rear turn signal bulb in my 2010 Edge Ltd started to indicate intermittent failures. I have replaced the bulb and in doing so I found that the bulb holder showed significant evidence of heat build up. I contacted both my Ford Dealer and Ford customer Care because I regard this as a safety issue for various reasons (Ford Pinto comes to mind) only to be told that since i am about 6 months out of warranty it is my problem at my cost. I am in the process of sending a letter to Ford to clarify in writing that this is in fact there position.

Just had what I believe to be a burnt out right turn signal bulb in my 2010. Bulb holder show signs of significant heat if not fire. Talked to my dealer and Ford. 6 months out of warranty, same experience as Januwine. My problem and my expensee

Thks for the link. Potentially very useful. Have saved it. Interesting that this is not in my Canadian 2010 owners manual.

If you do a search on this forum you should come up with some answers. Briefly, there was a known heater problem with some 2008s. It was something to do with the manufacturing of the heater core. Some special factory tools were needed to correct the problem. Most, if not all those who had the problem, had the the warranty extended by Ford for the heater unit.

Wonder if Ford did a Customer survey or if it was simply a "Management" decision. At one time when it came to buying a new car Ford was the preferred choice. This sort of change, almost slipped in, is the sort of thing together with a couple of other issues have eliminated Ford as my choice of preference. The latest sales numbers show Ford (and the other two NA Manufacturers) dropping against the imports. You have to wonder if I am not the only one.

I dont think it is just 2013s. My 2010 is now giving 24 mpg (US) on the highway at 20,000 miles up from 23 or less. Also general mileage has gone up from 21 mpg to 22 mpg. Not a lot you may say, but a definite and repeatable improvement.

Re the road noise and wind noise for that matter, I think it is a variable and that on some Edge's it is much worse than on others. I have a 2010 that is definitely louder in both area's than my 2008. Although Ford dont want to talk about my issue, it is of note that as reported on this forum, the Ford CEO (Mr Mulhalley I think i have the spelling correct but!) announced a significant investment in robotics for door assembly to eliminate variability and subsequent interior noise. In my case, it is such (for a $45,000+) car that Ford is no longer my automatic #1 supplier.

Yep, should be a revenue positive weekend, but will it actually result in improved highway safety?

Thanks dranged. Interesting. Did not know about the rebuilt title - I learn something new everyday

How will you register it? I understand Ontario now has another set of Nanny Laws that require repairs to be registered (yet another example of the Nanny Government not thinking things through - my $3000 cosmetic hit just shows up as collision damage with - so i am told - a real hit on the resale value). I know that when I had my turkey incident the insurance company registered it and apparently it will show up in the owner transfer package.

I have a 2010 and have never understood the "re-training" theory. I put my summer tires on, the low pressure light comes on, I drive about 1/4 mile it goes off. End of story. I suppose some people might call this learning. What does surprise me is that it takes about 30 km to activate when I put on my winter tires that do not have a sensor. Last year the tire sensor did activate when one tire went down.

I dont think he is paranoid at all! Look what is happening in the UK and we all know that we live in a Nanny world where Goverment knows what is best for us.

Out of curiosity, what pushed you to the Edge instead of the Murano? I ask because the Murano was on my finalist list, but I dropped it because of the very illogical packing groups which pushed the price up to get what I wanted. I can't remember all of them but the one that does come back to mind was that to get a heated passenger seat I had to go really upscale in other areas. The Edge Ltd on the other hand gave me what i wanted without the sun roof, nav system, etc

I am assuming you live in Western Canada. If that mileage is achieved in Manitoba or Sk in Winter, that is truly amazing. When I hit the 1st Manitoba gas I see my mileage drop and it stays down until I can get some good AB gas. This is true not just of the Edge, but of my Passat before and my HD Electra Glide.. My assumption is that there is more alcohol in their gas.

Interesting, especially the fuel economy numbers, which are even more interesting in view of the current Honda issue. The other thing that surprised me was the quoted numbers for the Venza. When I looked for my 2010 (in Canada) there was NO way the Venza prices were even close to the Edge (There were still offers on the Edge).

I have a 2010 AWD Edge LTD. It may be the seat a design/manufacturing issue rather than the seat height. I am 6; 11/2" (and shrinking) and I too have a similar problem, especially on long journeys. I have played around with all the settings and can minimise it. Despite what Ford says, I cannot help but suspect that he seats have been "redesigned" or supplied by "a lower cost manufacturer". I did not have this issue in my 2008 AWD Ltd and both my wife and I feel that the seats in the 2010 are not as comfortable as the 2008 and the electric heat is not as well distributed as it was on the 2008. It could also be that we are simply a few years older!

Any thoughts on the fake chrome on the centre console (2010) model. It also is a VERY thin surface layer

Interesting thread. Does a 2011 let you lock out 6th gear overdrive? I have a 2010 that lets me lock-out the 6th gear OD. I have a single axle 8 x 10 trailer weighing about 1800 lbs with the same surface area as the posters and with OD locked out I can tow it loaded with my HD Bagger at anywhere from 55 to 70 mph up-hill and downhill at a pretty constant speed with no problems (except horrible mileage at anything above 60 mph). I did experiment with the OD NOT locked out and it was not good. Gear hunting, poor mileage and speed fluctuation. With the OD locked out, mileage over about 3000 miles over varying terrain was 14 to 17 mpg with an average of close to 15 mpg. Biggest factors in mileage seemed to be 1. speed, 2, wind, 3, terrain (Colarado & Utaha) and gas (Okalahoma, Missouri and Texas where I found it actually paid to go with mid-grade gas)

You may want to do a search on this forum. I remember reading a while back about someone having just this problem while towing.

It was an option on the 2008 for Canada. however, the reallity is that almost all came to the dealers (once you got north of the centre of the universe) with a block heater. The problem is finding the lead. I had to call from Northern Ontario (I mean the real north not Orillia) when it was predicted to drop to -35C because I couldn't find it.

I just hope it is better than the weather. Last time I tried, essentially it told me there was weather between Sault Ste Marie and Thunder Bay and Winnipeg

Often the 1st (2nd) serious frost of the year will do this if the car is garaged outside. It is made much worse if the preceding weather has been cool and wet. I am assuming it is due to the accumulated water inside the car (carpet, seats, everywhere) and in the atmosphere that is drawn out by the 1st frost and freezes (condenses) on the window. It will go away after two or three frosts. This phenomena also after a wt snow when you have brought much snow into the car on your feet, jacket etc. For some reason it also happens after the car has been inside in a warm environment for some time. My theory on this is it is like glasses that fog up when you come in to the house when it is cold out, specifically the car is cold and when brought into a warm area causes the moisture in the air to condense throughout the car. Then see above after a frost.

Ajax 911, Good Question, simple answer is No, did not think of it. 1duFos, like you, I am sure Ford does put in an antifreeze washer solution since we do live in Canada, but one does use washer fluid from time to time that has to be replensihed. In the summer I put in the cheaper regular washer fluid and a couple of squirts of dishwasher fluid concentrate to act as a degreaser.

I feel for you. My Granddaughter did the same to a portable CD player. Got the coins out but the damage was done.

My only comment would be that you actually drive the vehicle you intend to purchase for some time. I dont know the situation for the 2012 but Ford have recently announced a significant investment in robots to improve assembly and reduce wind noise. I had a 2008 that I loved and based on that I bought a new 2010 sight unseen. Big mistake. Wind and road noise much worse than my 2008. Based on information on this forum I have sort of corrected the problem. Dealer is OK but Ford say nothing wrong!
