  1. Update. I took the car to the dealer, rode with mechanic to verify noise. The mechanic inspected the brakes, emailed Ford, I assume in Michigan, and did a few troubleshooting checks. I drove the car, next morning car made noise again. The rep at Ford said if car makes the noise to bring it back which I will do next week. Good service other then taking a little while to figure this problem out, I think next visit they may have to spend some money to fix the problem, replace parts. I was playing around with fueling the car, and after the pump shuts off I kept slowly filling the tank, and at 4 gallons the fuel overflowed, 3 seems to be the right amount for topping off after gas hose shuts off. After I got the car back from the dealer the drivers seat goes back further which was one of my complaints about the car, seat to far forward. I do not know what they did, and I did not mention the issue to the rep, I thought that is how far back the seat went, maybe operator error. Also the mpg is reading correctly, earlier it would update about every 8 miles or so, and I thought that was how it worked, need to read the manual. The seat fix was worth the trip alone. Still like the car.
  2. I took the car in, unable to duplicate. The mechanic cleaned the brakes of dust, see if that makes any difference. I did learn something here, after the fuel pump at the gas station shuts off I can put in an additional 3 gallons as long as it is done at a slow rate.
  3. I have a 09 Edge with 4,000 miles. When I brake for the first time I get a pulsating noise that sounds like driving in snow, soft crunching noise. I do feel it in the pedal, and lately it is happening more often, just not during the initial braking. I have read about other people with the problem but no causes. I am planning on taking the car in soon, but I am worried about 'cannot duplicate' or 'that is normal for this car', coming from the mechanic so I would like to know what is wrong before I go. I like the car, I thought the Flex was nice but too big for our needs. Thanks for any info.
