A lot of either wrong manuals in your vehicles infotainment system, or...who knows. Creative interpretation? E15 is okay for 2001 and newer vehicles, some are grand fathered in due to the EPA testing them. Every Ford Edge. 2013 or newer, in the owners manual, states that not more than 15% ethanol. You know what is not more than 15%???? 15%. Sure, if I had bottomless pockets, or didn't drive 22,000 miles a year, or didn't have a appliance CUV, sure, always 91/93 pure gas 0% ethanol. Especially if it sat with a tank of gas for more than a few days, which mine doesn't. https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/OwnerManual/Home/Content?variantid=9611&languageCode=en&countryCode=USA&moidRef=G2126645&Uid=G2170137&ProcUid=G2134123&userMarket=usa&div=f&vFilteringEnabled=False&buildtype=we

Higher octane than recommended and under the ethanol percentage cut off, and same ethanol percentage as winter gas, and that is bad? I guess I think of this vehicle as just an appliance. Save $1200 a year in gas, 20%, is huge for me. I might have jumped to conclusions that it is related to the gas, or maybe it is fine when it isn't 110 degrees, or lower altitude than where I filled up. I still am trying to get the stored/historical code, but nothing is showing it. If you think that running 93 octane is the only way, good on you. It is an $.80 premium over 87 where I live, $12 a tank. Fill it twice a week, that is a steak dinner for a family. If it was my weekend toy, like my previous car, sure, it would get premium. 4,000 miles a year the difference is less than $200.

Not E85. Plenty of hard core tuned for E85 performance vehicles around me, they are used to getting 150 miles per tank. The smell of of burning is unique and easy to spot. I have never used E85, in an E85 capable vehicle the cost versus mpg doesn't work out. E15 is only 5% more than normal summer gas, and $5 a tank less in the middle of a 3000 mile week is appreciated especially after $5.79 a gallon in CA.

I didn't connect the dots the first time, and it is fairly rare to find Unleaded88, so I haven't filled up with it for a while. Once it happened again, I looked at my receipts and I had gotten Unleaded88 that last trip at some point. I will see if I can get the actual code set, but none of my code readers see a history/current/stored fault codes. My winter gas is 15% ethanol and 87 octane, but this time of year it is only 10%. Since I would be burning 80-90% of it at once, and it won't sit in the tank, and 30 cents cheaper for better performance a negligible hit in mpg (I think it gets the same or better, as I have used it coming down from higher elevations, as well as going to higher elevations). In May of this year a bill passed allowing year around distribution of E15, due to probable lack of gasoline (the one that everyone with a pre 2001 car freaked out about).

The owners manual (my 2019, your 2024) say specifically nothing over 15% ethanol, so Eco 88 should be fine.

I was driving on the interstate, adaptive cruise set to 82, ambient temp was 115 degrees. White background message, with a red upside down triangle and exclamation point, with the only word I caught out of the all of "slow" or "slowly". It went away in a couple of seconds so I couldn't read it. I don't see any alerts in the owners manual that sounds similar. Anyone know what the message might have been? Not only was it quick to disappear, the sun shining on the cluster made it hard to read also.

I normally do not have access to Unleaded 88. When I travel to Colorado through New Mexico, They offer 85 octane, 87 "mid", and 90 "premium". A few stations also have Eco88 (which is 87 octane regular unleaded mixed with E85 to a Ethanol content of 15%). It is $.30 cheaper than 85, and higher octane. My vehicle runs great with it, and the fuel mileage is close enough to using regular unleaded that there isn't a trackable difference. However this time after putting in 17.5 gallons in the tank (the 30 miles to empty alert was triggered, the gas station I had planned on stopping at was out of gas, the next one had a power outage), I got a CEL. When I look back to the last time this happened, I think I had a tank of Eco 88 also. The less than helpful message in the app is the same as last time, but it goes away before I can get it, and it isn't saved as a historical code, which is odd. I will try another reader, but Forscan or Torque app don't see any stored codes or pending, or current codes. It isn't happening during idle, it is after bombing down the highway at 85 mph for a couple hours. I filled up with 86 octane later on (used 85% of the tank of Eco 88), and continued on. Once it sat overnight (I had driven 12 hours, and wasn't up for checking the code) next startup the CEL was off.

2016 MKZ, I first mounted under the speaker cover, where the Edge cubby is, but moved it to the top of my cluster because it rattled. Both locations it worked after a few minutes of driving around. It was a cheapo that came with the kit I ordered, i don't know the source other than China along with everything else. I don't use factory SYNC 3 navigation I use Android Auto and Apple Carplay, but the indication on the dash is consistent and correct. Android Auto doesn't always know which way my vehicle is pointed at the start of navigation until move but I think it is using the phone compass and GPS at that point.

Where did you source the screen and APIM from? The screen only connects to the APIM using that 4 pin LVDS cable, is that plugged in? If it doesn't really work, but you can communicate with it using Forscan, then it could be a bad screen, cable, or not plugged in. Also not all APIMs can control an 8 inch screen, some are for smaller format screens (Transit Connect comes to mind). I did this update to my 2016 MKZ, I decided to go with a ~$300 kit from China, as a bonus they did use my VIN and AsBuilt data to enable all my options (ambient lighting, cooled seats, active park assist, etc), but I did go and change some things like the startup sequence. I had to modify my screen mount, but otherwise it was plug and play.

I have 3 Fords that are daily driven. 2012 Fusion with gear shift lever (and gated for manual +/- shifts) 2016 MKZ with row of buttons to the left of the infotainment display (and paddle shifters on the steering wheel) 2019 Edge with the dial shifter (S mode button, no paddle shifters because FWD, but would love to add them) It took a bit to get used to the gear shift lever (I came from a Grand Marquis with a column shift) but not too long, as have had floor shift automatics before. It took a bit longer to get used to the dial shifter in the Edge. Now if I haven't driven it for a while if I am turned looking behind me I go the wrong direction, so I go to Park instead of Drive after backing up in Reverse. Still getting used to the row of buttons on the MKZ. It isn't intuitive and I still have to look at it. I won't be doing any J Turns in it anytime soon. The last 2 vehicles I don't shift to park. I press the Start/Stop button and it auto shifts to Park. I like that.

I don't have vented rears, I have the solid smaller rotors, my fronts are inverted hat like the non PP ST rotors. This shows pad wear (still have some of the bevel left), the friction area (they look grooved, but they are smooth, and nothing smeared), and the hat/cooling fins (some brake dust, some water spots, I don't think any rust): front: rear:

I will have to see how the coated rotors look on my 2015 Fusion that is driven in rain, snow, "salted" roads, but the ones on my Edge that lives in the desert are still shinely coated and no signs of rust. The wear pattern is great. One small groove I can barely feel with a finger nail. They still take a beating and don't overheat/shudder on long down hill descents, or high effort short stops (not quite emergency stops, but close). I don't have discolored lines/marks like you do in that image. I only have 31,000 miles in the 17 months on it since replacing the brakes, I haven't recently checked the pad depth. I guess Z17 are low dust ceramic, so on my 2019 Edge (non ST) I did the same rotors and pads. I got the Z23 (carbon fiber/ceramic) pads and the same geomet coated rotors for my 2016 MKZ. I haven't installed them yet. Since I drive my MKZ more and am the more aggressive driver of the household, I tend to go more for the drilled, slotted, carbon metallic pads.

Super common issue. There are a multitude of ways to either fix it, or disable it. I am surprised a google search for "ford edge door ajar" didn't link to more than one thread here. Once you figure out what door it is, it can be replaced (the latch) or some go so far as to just break out the switch so it never works, which I would find annoying, but not as as annoying as lights on all night or alarm sounding, or errors while driving.

I would rip it out in a second if I could get rid of the eject button. It is always being touched and pausing whatever media is playing while it decides if there is a disc or not. I thought it would be easy to get to and disable when I had the center stack out, but it wasn't, and it seems to be logic and not a stand alone circuit to snip. I was happy when my 2017 Escape and 2019 Edge didn't have them. I did find my old "driving CD's" I burned so many years ago, but with 5 or 6 streaming audio selections, XM, and USB drives, I can deal not using a CD ever again.

2019 Edge isn't going anywhere, except vacations. Tried to get some pictures of the flipping of green to gray, but it is just green.
