Hello, We have over 50,000 on our Edge and have not replaced the tires or the brakes yet. When i had it in for an oil change they said the brakes were only halfway gone and the tires still have quite a bit of tread left. Will more than likely get over 60,000 + outta them. Not bad for OEM tires!!! We have the 20' rims with awesome Pirelli Scorpions on them. I will definately be replacing them with the same tire. Hope this helps.

Hello, I would recommend some Cooper Discover HT's. We put them on our first 07 edge and they were a MAJOR upgrade from the Hanjunks that came OE. They were alot cheaper in price than the other manufacturers and they come with roadside warranty where others charge extra for it. Now we have an 08 Edge Limited with the 20s on it with Pirellis scorpion tires.I really like them alot. Not sure if Pirelli makes tires in your size but i would also recommend them also. Good luck!!

Hello, i am not 100% sure but i believe the edge has to have a special tool to take the serpentine belt off. if i remember right there is no longer a standard tensioner that you can just release the pressure on and take the belt off, you now have to use this tool and basically run the belt off and then run the new one back on. i had asked a ford tech when we had our 07 before getting our 08 limited and that is how he explained it to me. i have not actually looked into anymore since i do not plan on having to change it anytime soon. let me know what you find out.

Thanks for the reply. I pick the vehicle up next week so i will have them explain to me exactly what they had to fix and why. I think what you are saying is actually what they were trying to relay to me. The service manager did say that the master cylinder was leaking internally and that it was completely full of fluid thus the reason we were loosing all the brake fluid. There was no external leak at the master cylinder that they could find, but they did notice some leaking at the calipers which led them to investigate those as well. I will repost exactly what they tell me when i pick it up. I might be confused or maybe they explained something incorrectly to me too! Thanks again.

Hello, We have a 2008 Ford Edge Limited with only 40,000 miles on it and for the last several months have been dealing with a brake problem. After giving our original dealership SEVERAL attempts to correct the problem we decided to take our Edge to another Ford Dealership (who has been top notch and extremely helpful) to have them try and diagnose the brake problems. It took them a short time to tell us that the Master Cylinder was bad and was leaking so much that it was full of fluid(our previous dealerships fix to our complaining about the brake problem was to just keep adding brake fluid, never mind finding out where the fluid was going, just fill it up and send the customer on their way!!!), since the master was full of fluid internally it was putting pressure on our calipers and they may have been damaged too. Received a call from them today and so far they have replaced the master and are keeping it for a couple days to see if any damage has been done to the calipers. The dealership contacted Ford to see what they could do and they were basically told that since we are out of warranty they cannot help us at all. The service manager told me to try calling the customer service line and see what response i would get and i got the exact same answer. Needless to say the dealership is going outta their way to help with the expensive problem this has become and is trying to cut any unneeded expenses to help us out. If the calipers have to be replaced our final bill will be well over $2,000.00!!!!!!!!!!! Not exactly what i think we should be pumping into a vehicle with ONLY 40,000 miles on it!! After doing some research i am starting to see a repeated problem some Edge owners are having with Master cylinders in their own rides.The main thing in all of this is that the problem was caught before my wife and kids were put into harms way but it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth on our FIRST Ford vehice we have ever owned. We love the Edge except for this one thing, but brakes to me are a major thing!!! When the time comes to replace our Edge it's gonna be a hard decision. I hope Ford really starts looking into the master cylinder problem they may have. I realize that even new cars have problems but when several people are reporting the same problem there could be a connection. If anyone else has had brake problems please send me a message, i would love to hear your story!!

Hello and wish you luck with your Edge inquiries! We own a 2008 Ford Edge Limited AWD, best vehicle we have ever owned!! Regarding ways to find out if an Edge has Sync!! If you have the VIN #s you can create a SYNC account on their website and enter the Vin to see if it has it. If there are pictures on the internet look at the steering wheel controls. There should be a button with a mouth on it that says MEDIA, if it has this button it has SYNC.(There is also a Microsoft SYNC badge by the shifter.) Regarding the prices for used, i know when we purchased our Edge earlier this year it was a dealer program with about 13000 miles on it. It stickered for almost 40,000 new and they were asking 28,900. I got out the door for 25,000 with no trade! I would shop around until you find the one you want and if the price is right buy it! Good luck and god bless!

Which remote start are you talking about? The single fob remote start WILL NOT work with the auto climate control in a Ford Edge. I have personally talked with Ford on this one and all Edges with dual climate control require two outputs and the single keyfob kit ONLY has ONE output, thus it can only be used to start the vehicle! There is NO way to add another output to it. Are you sure you didnt just install the six button keyfob,that kit WILL work! Not trying to start an arguement but i have talked to numerous individuals within my dealership and spoke directly with a Engineer,tech,at Ford who explained the whole problem with the output. This is also a common issue with the taurus. thanks,jeremy

Hello, The single keyfob Ford remote start will not work with the autoclimate control in Edges. The Edges require two outputs to both turn on the vehicle and turn on the autoclimate and the single fob remote start only has one output. You would need the six button keyfob if you want to be able to turn on the heater/ac, etc. The above information came directly from Ford Accessory technician. As far as the heated seats, i read on this forum that Ford purposely setup the heated seats so that you can not program them to work with the remote start, i do not know if this is true just going from what i read on here. hope this helps you. Thanks, Jeremy

Hello, I have a Genuine Ford Remote Start Kit, Type A for sale(7L2Z-19G364-AA). I bought this to be installed on our EDGE Limited but found out that this kit will not work with the dual auto climate controls, only the turn dial controls. This kit works on Ford Edges without auto climate control and on the Ford Fusion, may work for other Ford/Lincoln vehicles but i am not sure. I am selling at dealer cost of $177.00 and i will include FREE SHIPPING in the US only. EVERYTHING that comes with this kit is included. Please let me know if your interested. Thanks, Jeremy

Quick update on the whole remote start thread. I have a cousin who is a ford tech and i went ahead and called him last night to see what he thought about this. He told me that even the basic remote start 101 Ford system should at least mimic the last climate control settings, he couldnt remember if the defrost would work too if it was on or not, but he said something was not hooked up correctly or was never hooked up to begin with!! Anyways, he went ahead and contact a Ford Specialist that deals directly with this kinda stuff and i am just waiting for him to get back to me. Will be seeing him tomm so i got my fingers crossed. The dealership still hasnt called back but i am positive that my problem will get resolved now that i involved my cousin. Should have had him install it to begin with!!!!!! Shame on me!! So for anyone thinking of getting just the basic FORD remote, your worries are over, it should allow you to use the auto climate control as long as they hook it up correctly!! I believe i said it before but the cheapest place i found the system was downs ford (thefordsource.com), they ship incredibly fast and they offer the remote starts at near cost!! Anyways, i will keep you posted as to what eventually has to be done but i thought i would try to keep everyone in the loop. Happy Thanksgiving, Jeremy

Hello, We have two boys(4 & 7) and they have no space concerns in the back seat. I am 6'2 and have the seat completely back and my 7yr old who is very tall for his age does not even come close to hitting the back seats. More than enough room. We have even had three car seats back there will no problems. We do have the rear seat entertainment package which i highly recommend!! Good luck and you will be not regret it if you buy a EDGE, best choice we ever made. Thanks Jeremy

Thanks, i will be taking it back to the dealership so they can fix it. It kinda defeats the whole purpose of having it if you can run the heater, etc. I appreciate your help. Thanks Jeremy

Thanks for the respones, but i am not sure i understand what you mean when you say whatever you had programmed previous. I bought the Ford basic auto start with the one button key fob and had it installed at a Ford Dealership. How do i program it to turn on whatever i had previously set. Right now the car will start with the remote but the fan motor will not kick on until we insert the key and turn it to the run position! I am very frustrated and the dealer is trying to find out if this is the way its suppose to be or if something is not right with it but until then i would like to find out for myself. Thanks Jeremy

Hello, I am hoping someone out here can help me. I recently had the Ford Edge Remote Start 7L2Z-19G364-AA put on my wifes Edge Limited. At the time i didnt realize that this remote start would only start the car and not give us the ablility to have the heater/defroster/ac turned on. (We have the dual auto climate control) I guess i would have to get the Ford Edge Remote Start,Remote Keyless Entry & Vehicle Security 7L3Z-19G364-AA to be able to control our climate control from our house. My question is is the only difference between these two systems the Keyfob? Is it possible that i can just buy the 6 button keyfob from the remote start,keyless,etc. system and have it programmed to our current remote start. I would like to believe that the remote start module is the exact same for both systems and that the keyfobs are the only real difference but i dont know. Anyone who could help me would be appreciated greatly. Thanks, Jeremy

I have talked with my dealership and the technician who installed my remote start. He didnt realize that the remote start that i got wouldnt work to turn on the auto climate control either. He has contacted his FORD rep but has not gotten a response back yet. The only thing so far that he could find out was that the remote start,keyless entry,etc. does have six buttons on the keyfob and two buttons are programmable to whatever you want them to go to. He said that they could be setup to control the climate control and such. They charged around $150.00 to install. I actually bought the remote start myself from thefordsource.com (Downs Ford) since they were WAY cheaper than what my dealer could get it for. When i told my dealership what i could buy it for $177.00 they told me to go ahead and buy it from Downs Ford because that price was almost the dealers price. Then i had my local garage install it. It does kinda such to be able to start the car but not turn the heater on to have everything all warmed up. To think that a couple years ago remote start wasnt even an option!!!
