Be thankful you don't have it. The motion sensor cannot differentiate an intended kick from other movements. It's easily triggered while loading and unloading or just cleaning off the rear window. It's a real annoyance.

Perhaps enough people finally complained. My big feet are always activating mine unintentionally. It looks good on the brochure, but in practice it's a pain.

You will love your car once they fix this. They have been de-contenting the Edge for a few years. Although they are basically identical, 2022 misses a few things from 2021, 2023 misses a few more, etc. (For instance, I don't have a glove box light.) The center of the button is spring loaded and goes in and comes back out flush with the silver ring.

I think you need to take this in for warranty replacement. My buttons are pretty much flush all across. My volume is not recessed and my tune is not bulged out like that.

Are you pushing on the ring of the volume button or the center? Pushing the center of the volume button will turn the sound system on and off.

I didn't get a paper manual, but I prefer the PDF version on my computer. It's easy to search when I'm looking for something. The one on the car's display is worthless. It's worded like they are trying to save paper. They should go into more detail since it isn't on paper any more.

Of all the posts I've read, I don't recall anyone citing an actual problem that it has caused. They just don't like it and/or just want to complain. It can be unnerving but not like my 2019 Escape. The stop and restart was more noticeable. In the Edge it's smoother and quieter. Mine only kicks in a few months out of the year. I keep windows up and climate control on. The engine is quiet anyway so I have to look at the dash to see if it's stopped.

My Sync 4 Version is 23159_PRODUCT, Revision 915. My last OTA update was to Ford Power-Up 4.2.4 on Oct 5.

I added insulation to mine. You just pop it into place. The engine cover was more trouble than it was worth IMHO.

It is my understanding that many of the deep sleep messages were programming errors and you weren't actually going into deep sleep mode. I got the messages, too, but the car functioned fine. I read something about this recently but I don't recall where. Auto start / stop is very complex. There are posts in this forum that list the criteria. During the summer, mine seldom kicks in. But that's okay. If auto start / stop doesn't kick in, it doesn't necessarily indicate a bad battery. If the dealer has tested your battery and it shows good, I wouldn't fret it. Take the trip and enjoy the drive.

Yeah, I got this yesterday. Looks nice but now I have to relearn where things are. I think the heated/cooled seats was an improvement. It's a tap, tap, tap instead of a slider. I haven't had a chance to really poke around and explore.

I don't drink either. I have no problem with this. If a drunk tries to drive or steal my car, they won't get far.

I've had an Escape and it was cramped and noisy. The Explorer is too big for my taste. I am not ready to buy an EV. I have an extended warranty on my 2022 for 60 months/60,000 and it's paid for. I intend to drive it for a while yet, but I still like to look around for my next purchase. I have driven Ford/Mercury since 1985 but this is my last. Currently, Ford/Lincoln does not offer what I want and the Ecoboost fiasco has left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm leaning toward Mercedes-Benz (German made, not Alabama).

I'd use protectant on it to minimize the effect. This is the type of scratch that WILL look worse if I try to "fix" it.

I have a 2022 model and I recently noticed that my taillights have holes drilled right in the middle of each unit on the outside. The holes are about the size in enigma-2's video but they aren't hidden away like he did. You don't notice them unless you look and they don't let water in (that I can tell). I've never had condensation in my lights.
