  1. Thanks for the reply. So, the story gets better. Went to the dealership and inquired on the issue. The rep kept telling me the camshaft position sensor needs replacing. Still confused I asked to see the technician's report. As I suspected, the report states "CHT sensor" needs replacing. EXACTLY what I told them that needed to be done and was quoted $660 for. Ok, so the rep misread or whatever but we're getting somewhere now. Now we're back to the $1200 bill to fix. The earlier quote for $660 has mysteriously disappeared even though I "coincidently" pulled a name that happens to work there and the exact hour labor charge to fix it. ?. I was informed that the diagnostic fee and the radiator flush was probably not included. So I agreed and said 660 + 130 + 150 = 940. No one could answer my question of the extra 260 ?. Paid the diagnostic fee and left. I knew better than to take something to the dealership out of warranty, but trying to rush things up bit me in the butt. Today located a recommended mechanic who will replace it for far less. Lesson learned.
  2. First time poster and listener as this issue with my 2014 Edge SE is about to drive me insane and led me here. Rewind 2 weeks ago, driving along and "engine coolant over temp" popped up on the dash along with cooling fans kicking on. Great. Arrived home and started trouble shooting the next day. Coolant levels looked Ok. Only code showing is P1289. Another symptoms was temp gauge on dash showing normal operating temps and immediately after warning pops up, the bottom bubble of the thermometer image is colored in (like its not registering). Upon Google search, all signs were pointing to cylinder head temp sensor being bad. I normally perform most of the work myself on vehicles, but I did not want to tackle this project after watching the video on getting to the sensor in the valley. Don't have a mechanic handy so called the dealership. ~$600 to change it out. Fine. I just need to get it fixed. Just received a call stating they traced it down and the camshaft sensor is bad. Confused, I asked again. Quoted $1200 to fix it. Told them I'd be by to pick it up. Even more confusing is the videos I watched were 1/10th the effort to change out the camshaft sensor in comparison to the CHT sensor, but double in price. Long story short, if you're still with me, I've googled far and wide to no avail relating my symptoms and P code to a camshaft sensor. I know just enough about engine repair to get by, but can anyone with expertise see any relation between their diagnosis and my symptoms? Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.
