Hello, I recently purchased a 2019 Edge Titanium (used, w/ ~12k miles) and I have been learning about the controls and tech in this car. I'm coming from a 2010 Fusion SE with Sync, and this is at the other end of the spectrum for complexity and features. When I'm not in a rush, I spend around five minutes poking at the touch screen controls and trying different things while my car warms up.
I have a couple settings in the gauge cluster Settings menu that keep mysteriously coming back after I have disabled them. 1) Auto Engine Off, and 2) Easy Entry and Exit. I don't need the seat moving around unnecessarily, and I want to avoid the wear and tear caused by auto stop-start, to the point where I'm about ready to buy a defeat device I found that installs in-line with the button panel harness and simulates a momentary button press after a time delay from starting the vehicle and applying power. Is there a software bug in these feature settings that might cause them to automatically come back? Is there a software-based fix?
