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.

My 3.5 powered Fusion Sport had the water pump let go at 159,000 miles, and filled the crankcase up with coolant and over heated, it a very short period of time. Not sure if it is fixable for reasonable or not. So I went to look at an MKZ (and they had 2 MKX's that I wanted to check out as well). Not many of them around, and the 2017+ with the 3.0TT are pricy when they come up. So I looked at 2013-2016 with the 2.0 (also available with the 3.7, no thanks). This 2016 MKZ Reserve with the Technology Package and moon roof fit what I was looking for and price. I didn't want a moon roof because of how much head room they take, but not bad. Still warming up to the color, Guard Metallic with Cappuccino interior. 95,000 miles. It is missing some things from my 2019 Edge SEL, like stop and go cruise (it has adaptive cruise, but at 12 mph it turns off) and lane centering. But it has a lot more options. Reserve includes: Ambient Lighting HD Radio™ Accent Light (in Headlamps) Electrochromic Exterior Driver Side View Mirror PowerFold® Side View Mirrors Daytime Running Lamps – Configurable Power Tilt/Telescope Steering Column Leather Seating Navigation with voice recognition Blind Spot Information System w/Cross-Traffic Alert Power Decklid with Soft Close Cooled Leather Driver and Front-Passenger Seats Heated Steering Wheel Heated Rear-Seats 110 V Powerpoint Embedded Modem And the tech package adds: Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning with Brake Support Active Park Assist Lane Keeping System Forward Sensing System Auto High Beams Rain-Sensing Wipers Already swapped SYNC 2 to SYNC 3, the 3G TCU to a 4G TCU, the spark plugs, air and cabin filter. Next up is coolant and transmission fluid, cleaning up some chips and the exhaust bezels (like the Edge ST, part of the bumper).

The manual does say: So yes, they are switched, and not always powered. https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/OwnerManual/Home/Content?variantid=9611&languageCode=en&countryCode=USA&moidRef=G2127957&Uid=G2143359&ProcUid=G2134795&userMarket=USA&div=f&vFilteringEnabled=False&buildtype=web

I did mine at 96,000 miles because my rears were worn down to 2-3mm, and it was pretty easy to get them chattering after hard stops (adaptive cruise and mountain passes). the fronts were still over 8mm, could have gone a lot longer before replacing them, but I had ordered the parts and also was upgrading my smaller FWD rotors to larger ones. For some reason I skipped painting the calipers, I always do them on all cars I have owned, but didn't feel it with this one.

Order guide for 2024 shows Oxford White as code YZ, available on the SE, SEL, and SAP (available on the SEL). The door sill sticker shows WB? I don't recall seeing any year Edge available in Performance White.

Even though the owners manual shows there might be both, how many USB ports do you have? The ones at the base of the center stack in the center console are data. I don't think you have any others any place else, not even the center console bin, back of center console, or cargo area. It states that if it has the USB symbol it is data, and a battery symbol it is charge only.

It was very common on mid 2000 to 2010 legacy cars, my 2000 Grand Marquis had a MAF and an IAT separate, but 2003 it was IAT attached to the MAF sensor module. But on a vehicle without a MAF? Or anything not legacy?

While I know that is close to the quotes from brake places, I squirm every time I see that price, after having done my own (and upgrading to the larger AWD brakes for my FWD vehicle) for...$388 (4 coated premium rotors, all pads, all bushings, 2 larger front caliper mounts). $280 without the caliper mounts. Probably didn't have any more required waiting until they were dead, should replace rotors anyways.

Those two tires are basically the same diameter and revs per mile, so as long at the wheels are up to spec as well (offset, width, etc) then they would be fine.

They are not all the same! There are some many factors. While diameter is important, what that diameter does, how many revs per mile, is sometimes easier to see the differences. 2 randomly picked tires that tire rack shows the actual specs for (not the generated from published sizes). I don't think you understand section width versus tread width, and how that can affect the ratio (that 60 in this example which is a percentage).
