  1. I have an 09 Limited and have had this same problem since I bought the vehicle. You can see my post called "high pitch whine" to see if my issues match yours. So far the dealership has been unable to fix it. I have had a new radio installed, had the rear sub speaker replaced, and then had the entire electrical system analyzed to see what causes the noise. Currently the dealership has discovered that for some reason, and they dont know why, the radio is getting too much power (or putting it out) and is causes feedback. I am waiting for them to get in another radio to replace my "newest" one. They finally determined that it was the radio itself causing the problem because they took mine out and installed a Nav system radio ( I only have the base radio without Nav), and as soon as that radio was installed the noise went away. So, perhaps I somehow got a defective radio that was then replaced by another defective radio..... So, I am hopeful that a new system will be able to eliminate the noise.
  2. I took it in to the dealer and they noticed the noise right away. I had a faulty rear trunk speaker that was causing some feedback, which they replaced in the hopes that it would solve the problem. It did seem to help, but didnt eliminate the noise. So they took it back again and think it needs the radio to be replaced. I do not think it is the radio at all, as on most posts everyone has noticed that you can hear the noise outside the vehicle. However, I will let them replace the radio and go from there. My wife doesn't ever notice the noise unless I bring it up, so it isn't a showstopper, but it would be nice to not have it on those days when I prefer to drive without a radio or such. Out of ignorance and laziness, where is the fuel pump so that I can get close to it and perhaps point it out to the dealer? I live in Germany and pointing to problems is much easier than trying to describe them in German.
  3. I am looking for suggestions on a good hitch mounted, 3 bike rack for an 09 Edge. I have the class II factory hitch. Anyone have a model that they could suggest?
  4. Hello, I erroneously posted this question under the "accessories and modifications" folder yesterday , when I meant for it to be here....... I recently purchased a 09 Limited, and I notice a very high pitched "whining" noise from in the cabin when the car is on. It is not the radio, or at least it doesn't stop when the radio is off. Has anyone experienced the same type noise, or know what is causing it?
  5. Greetings, I recently purchased a 09 Limited, and I notice a very high pitched "whining" noise from in the cabin when the car is on. It is not the radio, or at least it doesn't stop when the radio is off. Has anyone experienced the same type noise, or know what is causing it?
  6. I have a new 09 Edge with the charcoal leather interior. What type of product could I use to clean the leather and perhaps "condition" it? I am looking for an option that softens the leather, if that is possible, and gives it a nice appearance. I assume there are better options than just ArmorAll. Similar question for the dash. What product would protect it without a greasy appearance?
  7. Sorry, Redfire is what I have. Not sure if I am going to do the whole handle replacement anyway.
  8. Thanks to you both for the replies. At least I know I have some options!
  9. I have seen several Edge with Chrome door handles instead of the body color. I am not sure if that is an option during the ordering process for a new Edge or if they were installed aftermarket. Does anyone have the chrome door handles, or know how/where to get them?
  10. Thanks to those that replied. I went ahead and ordered the 09 Limited FWD. I decided against the AWD due to the amount of PTU issues the Forum has listed, and the fact that I wasnt sold on needing AWD along with lower gas mileage. My Edge won't arrive until April (I live in Germany) so I will have a while to continue reading the Forum for updates.
  11. Thanks for the reply. This is the only issue that concerns me with the Edge. Anyone else have an 09 that can give a quick response? I am going in to meet the dealer tomorrow and would like all the information I can get before doing anything formal.
  12. Has anyone who has purchased on 09 model noticed this problem yet? I am hoping it was fixed prior to the 09 models rolling out.
  13. I am about to start the paperwork to order an 09 Edge limited and I just read through the long thread on the burning smell that seems to be prevalent on 07 and 08s. I test drove a used 08 limited this week and noticed the burning smell on my first stop just as described in the thread. When I returned it the dealer they said it was leftover cleaning fluid on the engine. After reading through the other posts this is obviously not the problem. Has anyone who has purchased on 09 Edge noticed this problem? I am hoping that it is an issue that has been dealt with prior to putting out the 09 line.
