  1. I'm using all season Pirellis. I don't see any super duty options on the fordeom parts. I ended up ordering EBC reds for front and rear and akebonos pads at the same time (with amazon prime). EBC said they don't make Front pads for the Edge ST even though it's listed on retailers site. I installed EBC Red pads on the stock rotors and they are terrible. They dig into the rotors and have uneven wear after 300 miles but stopping power on the rears are better. People in other forums had a similar issue and EBC recommends using their rotors for their brake ebc red/yellow/green pads. I took before and after photos. The amazon EBC seller refunded me without returning the product. Since the rear rotors are now destroyed with groves. I ordered a brand new set of Brakeperformance rotors, slotted and dimpled and I am going to pair them with the Akebonos. I also flushed the system with ATE 5.1, this brand's formula makes brake pads much more responsive than other fluids and used it in all my prior vehicles. Also during my brake job, I found the front passenger bleeder screw with a very very small leak at the tip. When I took off the cap I found it slightly wet. When a brake vacuum is attached to the closed screw with 25 psi, nothing comes out. But if I smash on the brakes with my weight and pump it. I can get my finger tip wet and not enough for a drop. Long story short, ordered a new bleeder screw. Left Before Right After.jpf
  2. I have a 2021 Ford Edge ST with performance brake package. 1. The stock brake pads are shit and dusty as shit. Like every 2 weeks, the rims are covered even with ceramic coating them. 2. After chipping it with Racechip GTS + 54 HP and putting in a AFE oiled filter (+24hp) (The panel filter flows higher than the CAI) , it's even more apparent the brakes are really weak when I gun it and try to stop. 3. The rear brakes pads are quite low and I read everywhere this is normal for Fords and is a way to reduce nose diving when breaking (my 2005 mini cooper S had the same thing). The fronts probably are in the yellow but still a good amount left, but I am really tired of the dust. 4. I ordered Akebano Ultra premiums for front and rear. (I've had good stopping distance and dust with these on my 3 series). I've used Posi quiet (they're okay), Powerstop (close to stock for bmw), and Hawks (as good as Akebano). 5. I am debating between ordering drilled rotors on eBay and they're Manufactured in Canada (power stop, stop tech, r1 are made in China) OR re-using the existing rotors. Since the Ford is as heavy as a truck, has anybody tried EBC Red/Green/Yellow and can comment on their stopping power? Has anybody changed to performance pads but not rotors on their Ford?
  3. I changed the values with Forscan from the sheet above, you have to use As-built change, not just the "start" button changes. I programmed it by doing the following 0. Select memory setting 1. Turn on car 2. Select mirror to program (left/right) 3. Put car in reverse 4. Adjust mirror how you want it. 5. Press and hold memory setting you use for you used until you hear a beep 6. Put car back in park (wait 15 seconds), mirror will return to original position. 7. Repeat for left/right side. 2021 Ford Edge ST with Performance brake package and all the bells and whistles.
  4. I also finally got my update as well. Now I will turn off the updates forever ? because ford doesn’t do enough testing before a release.
  5. I haven't received anything secondary or third update. Car connects to fiber internet everyday and has hot spot wifi with unlimited data.
  6. When you're in reverse, the "+" button is on the screen on the top left in a circle. It will then zoom in on the camera for tow mode. Then when you switch back to "D" the front camera button will work.
  7. Before the latest update, if you wanted to see the front camera, you would have to put the car in reverse, zoom in with the "+" button, switch to "D", then click the front camera button again, but it would IMMEdiately switch back after 1 second. Now after the update if you do the same procedure the front camera stays on after driving above 7mph. That is, put the car in R, hit zoom "+", then switch back to D, then hit the front camera, it will stay on and not immediately switch back.
  8. Well the problem is formally recognized on NHTSA and FORD OEM DTC which means it will get solved. The question WHEN. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10214840-0001.pdf https://ford.oemdtc.com/10460/front-camera-inoperative-after-vehicle-traveled-over-6mph-10km-h-2021-ford-edge
  9. I still have not received part 2 of the update and my camera did not change yet. I have hot spot enabled and fiber gigabit internet/wifi it connects to every morning in the garage.
  10. If you’re getting that many problems you should contact a lemon law attorney but that lawyer will suck the money out of you. But seriously the used car market should allow you to sell pretty quick like you rented it. I drive mine like I stole it (after dropping off kids) since it is a ST version. If you don’t like in San Francisco (like me) or New York, you’ll survive without a front camera. Our parking lots allow for less than 6 inches of clearance on the sides.
  11. Mine is Version 22028 Revision 358 It could be we need a new version. I also have a mobile hotspot enabled.
  12. Called again, Ford engineering is still "working" on a solution, still no update. So if anybody has a solution or Technical service bulletin for their fix, please post it here.
  13. Thanks @Xfire. I called the Ford dealer again to see what they have to say. I haven't had a chance to bring the car our yet today to see if an update is available.
  14. Nothing yet, it's been a week. They said they contacted Ford Engineering and are awaiting a response. They said I should get one today or tomorrow. Once they have a fix they said to bring the vehicle back in. I also filed a ticket with the NHTSA. Somebody filed a complaint for the rear camera and got the update pushed that screwed up the front camera. https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#index Report your problem by filing a ticket.
  15. I dropped it off to the dealer today. They have "electronics" tech onsite. It's Serramonte Ford, just south of San Francisco. We'll see what they have to say.
  16. I filed a ticket with Ford, they told me to take it to dealer after sending the video. I'll let you guys know about the outcome.
  17. Model - 2021 Ford Edge ST - Fully loaded with forward camera, navi, pano roof, brake package, heated/cooled seats, etc. My forward camera stop working after the 5/13 Sync update. The sync update was to address a "frozen" REVERSE camera, but it BROKE the FORWARD CAMERA. In addition I NEVER had an issues with the reverse camera. Expected Functionality - Forward Camera works under 15mph in drive when I press the "forward camera" button to get close to cars in traffic, parking lots, and parking. Problem - Forward Camera - after latest sync update, forward camera no longer works after driving above 7 15 mph, coming to a complete stop and pressing forward camera button again. Conditions when the front camera does work. Condition 1 - Starting the car (cold start) and going into drive and hitting the forward camera. Condition 2 - After driving the car above 7 15 mph, shifting into reverse, shifting to drive, and pressing the forward camera Conditions where the Forward camera does not work. 1. After moving the vehicle above 7 15 mph, coming to a complete stop and pressing the "forward camera". 2. Driving under 5mph and pressing forward camera; Both these conditions used to work. I utilize the forward camera in tight parking spots and parking lots in San Francisco, but it not responding I am likely to get into a crash or hit the vehicle because the car is not functioning. Attempted steps taking to remediate the problem - 1. General - Settings - Factory Reset; waiting until screen loads. 2. Power button and "next track button" until Ford Screen shows. 3. Disconnecting negative battery and reconnecting. **I updated to show 7 mph, I looked into the handbook, it says 7mph. I contact Ford on twitter, facebook, and chat. Has anybody else experienced this problem? If yes +1 in the comments. I am bugging them on every surface.
