copy and paste data from wiki page to Google Sheets, and a simple formula to compute the percentage, yes. I don't think it works correctly when then are more Edge that Fusion, and I probably got it wrong as not a math wizard

The usual wiki check the reference footnotes apply. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Fusion_(Americas)#Yearly_U.S._sales https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Edge#Sales

When looking at the part in the online Ford Parts page, it says it is in the console, but it doesn't show an exploded view of it, it lumps it together with some other peripheral things like the antenna and keypad.

It is a wiki page, so you can follow the superscript number to the references at the bottom to find the source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Edge#Sales

I would call it an emissions, evap emissions issue, and not a fuel system issue. Is it a p1405 or a p1450? All codes (if a p1450 and p2196) and indicators (hard start after fuel fill, "farting" noise from tank/fuel fill) point to the purge valve. There are ways to test it to see if it is bad (always open) or possibly getting a bad signal to purge, and there are other components to the system, but usually only if the purge valve is stuck open will it do this, not other failures (canister being saturated, for example).

I don't know how the harmonic balancer would cause the cam and crank to be out of time and cause valve to piston contact and bend up the valves. That would mean the front of the crankshaft behind the timing chain gear separated from the rest. But with any catastrophic issue like that I guess a lot can happen, but I would think bent valves would be easy to detect before putting in a lot of work not to fix it or knowing that makes it not worth fixing.

Yeah, I guess it might help you see bambi as you hit it. If you are going at speed that high beams longer reach matter, then anything that happens in the fog light realm is either not gonna happen or you will see it happen. I guess it has been a long time since I have had to watch for critters, and when I did my cars had the old school glass "sealed beams", which have the same output as current interior lights, but I found it distracting on the interstate as well as dirt roads and 45 mph rural stretches of road. I do use my fog lights 99% of the time, on my older Fusion it fills some large dark areas while in the neighborhood, and on my 2019 Edge it smooths out the million of small shadows from the LED headlights. I only get flashed when I have a load in the back, fogs on or off.

Since this was posted to the wrong forum, and moved, what year, model, and engine do you have? It was assumed that it was the 3.5/3.7 due to the location of the water pump, but if you call it simple, it might not be a 3.5. Only clue so far is it has at least 4 cylinders, and is a 2012 or older. 2012 was the first year for the 2.0 GTDI engine.

I tried it (using Forscan to enable it) and in actual use I know the reason that it isn't that way from Ford. If you have your high beams on, you want to be looking further down range, with the fogs on you see too much close to you and that takes your focus. I disabled it pretty quickly, my environment that I drive in doesn't really necessitate both being on. I either want to see way down the road, or I want to see the sides illuminated, rarely both.

While it sorta depends on the year, any SP API rated oil should be good. I personally go with Motorcraft Semi-Synthetic and do 6000-7500 change interval. I might go for a full synthetic and go the full IOLM around 10k. SP/GF-6A have newer attributes for turbos, which I think is harder on oil than DI. I have had no issues with consumption and peeking in the cam cover looks nice and light golden, closer to raw aluminum. It took Ford a long time to update their sticker on the the bottles to show the oil was SP and not SN Plus. SP is for 2021 and newer vehicles, but basically supersedes SN.

As others have mentioned, you can lock your proximity key in the cabin using it, and unlock it without any other thing on your person, be it phone or fob. I haven't tried with an apple watch and the phone in the cabin, will have to try that. My Fitbit I created an Alexa routine for it so I don't have to say the PIN (unlock magnetic) but my watch doesn't always reconnect with my phone if it has been out of range of it for awhile or I accidentally try it not in range of my cell phone. I have started using it more so the code is muscle memory, or I can add the same one my old car had that I drove for 20 years and always used the keypad (no proximity key, no phone app).

I guess you are lucky in that cylinder 6 is the one on the drivers front of the 3.5. It seems like the injector on that cylinder got unplugged, or not plugged back in. The IAT is on the big air inlet tube from the air filter housing, check that it is plugged it also.

What would the goal be, or why would premium be wanted or needed? Longevity? I don't think that 87 octane has a negative effect on the engine, even though Ford thinks a little pinging is okay, most don't, but my usage and environment are most conducive to pinging, and it doesn't. Performance? Sure, there might be a little actual and perceived performance improvements, after all Ford did the HP ratings with it. Unless you are doing other mods and need premium, it probably won't make a huge difference. Fuel Mileage? Might be worth it. Currently for me it would have to be a 20% increase (3.20 for regular, 3.70 for premium, so an 18% increase in price). So I would have to go from 25 mpg to 30 mpg average. I Maybe saw 1 mpg and across an entire fuel tank a lot of different driving probably happened, and it wasn't a good comparison. Specific situations? Maybe. If I was to tow close to the limit, up mountains, in the 110 summer, and a tall trailer? I would. Performance and fuel mileage reasons, as my 2017 Escape towing into a 40 mph wind and doing the freeway speeds I had an unexpected added fuel stop that a few mpg more would have helped with.

It only needs 87 octane. There are instances where premium (91 or 93) are warranted, like high ambient temps, lots of elevation changes (up and down mountains), towing, or any combination of these. Personally I run 87 octane. I have ran 91 once (highest octane readily available for me) before and maybe a slight "seat of the pants" difference, but it wasn't worth the extra $.50 a gallon, $9 a tank worth. Fuel mileage with 91 was not markedly better, it was so close that I wouldn't consider it any better. That would be an extra $550 for me a year. I guess if you don't put that many miles on a vehicle it might be easier to justify. Who calls it a premium fuel motor? When Ford did the fuel milage tests for the EPA, it was with 87 octane. When Ford did the testing of the horsepower for the 2.0 and the 2.7 they used 93 octane fuel. So it you need to have that 250 HP then sure. When Premium was $.20 more a gallon, I had a Mark VIII that was premium recommended also, but I got way better fuel mileage, and slight drivability improvements (tried it out at the track, there was no difference in speed or time, 60 foot or 1/4 mile), so I usually ran it. I also had a different car of the same era with a tune and some matching upgrades with 91 octane tune and it did much better. I drive in high ambient temps, and do a fair share of 1000ft elevation to 4000ft elevation driving and never have I had any pinging or adverse performance issues. Add towing to the mix, I might.

Welcome! Would love to know more about your vehicle (year, options, color), your plans for it, and any shortcomings or issues you might have. 2009-2010 with the 3.5, 2011-2014 with the 3.7, or 2016-2018 with the 2.7?

I think that the 2.7 is a better engine than the 2.0, but the 2019 Edge 2.0 fixes the biggest issue with the previous 2.0, the coolant intrusion issue. It does add a different cooling failure, EGR cooler leak, but that is much cheaper to fix if it happens. The ST does have a beefier transmission, I don't know of any known issues with this first year (2019) 8 speed, either the 8F35 (2.0) or the 8F57 (2.7). I also have an older 3.5 powered vehicle, and switch between it and the 2019 Edge with the 2.0. I still like the 3.5 but it is in a lighter AWD car. The GTDI engines are addictive, just for normal performance and mileage if driven right, but have that extra power on tap if you don't mind the fuel mileage hit. I would have loved a 2.7 powered Edge, but not the ST larger wheels or blacked out trim, they are not my style. I guess a Lincoln MKX/Nautilus would be more my speed with the 2.7 but too much of a premium cost over the Edge.

The weather November->May where I live is pretty temperate, and makes the June heat, July-August heat and rain an okay compromise. I from a location that got 30 feet of snow a year and down into the -40F range, and unless I was in a position to split my time between 2 or more places, give me the heat! Modern cars take it in stride. I used MAX AC to get the interior temps down (remote start FTW), but once on the highway and interstate, auto set to 72 with recirc on was comfortable. I also recently added AC to my house, it is way more expensive that my swamp cooler, but I have both, and best of both (switch over to AC when the humidity goes up, otherwise nice chilly humid air at 6500cfm, change the air in the house every couple of minutes). But yes, outdoor work is best done before 9am, I have to take my dogs for their 1.5-2 mile walk at 5:45am, limit outside stuff or stay shaded.

2009 has the combo rotor/drum with small parking brake shoes inside the drum inside the rotor hat. If it was "pad slapped" and the rotor not removed or replaced, I don't see how it would be related. Was the caliper removed and the slides checked and the shims replaced?

Drove it enough to get to this reading: But this is the interesting number, when I got home and parked it/shut it down, the cooling fan stayed on spinning full blast, I have never had that happen with this vehicle, my wife kept telling me I left it running. Luckily at home it was a more moderate 111 degrees, that 7 degrees makes a big difference.

While the coolant intrusion issue would be more than enough to make me not like a vehicle, the previous issues you have suffered up to the point would make it tough to keep a vehicle. I have had my share of vehicles with known issues that I have had to rectify (1989 Cougar 3.8 head gaskets, 2000 Grand Marquis intake manifold), my 2017 Escape with the 1.5 and similar (more prevalent) issue as your 2.0 made me question taking it on longer trips (what it was bought to do), or the 3.5 in my 2012 Fusion and the internal water pump (it is my beat around car so less worried, but still don't want to have any problems). I purposely looked for a 2019 or newer Edge (with a new and exciting EGR failure to replace the engine block issue) for that reason. We'll see how everything else goes, it had already suffered the EGR failure and been fixed before I bought it.

I wold first look for a vacuum leak (after the air filter), it an exhaust leak before the cat, and you can also chart out the o2 sensor signal to see if might not be reading.

Yeah, I have a 2012 Fusion and my daughter has a 2015 Fusion, and I think they are great. No sedans and the entry level now the Maverick which can be hard to get is stopping new brand loyalty starting at the beginning and keeping them when they have more to spend or need something larger. I guess the Escape can be on the lower end as well, but nothing like a Focus or Fusion S.

I was surprised that the Edge is really close to the 2017 Escape in most dimensions. 1/3 inch more front head room (actually less since I have pano roof), .5 more leg room, 4 more front shoulder room (but the location of the center console seems to negate that, it is taller). The cargo area is only 6 inches longer, but with the sharper slanted rear window I actually lose space for some things like a dog kennel. I find the Escape to have more usable spaces even if it is smaller. The center console is more usable, the door pockets, the glove box (the Edge glove box is a joke, as is that silly compartment on top, don't mention the cubby in front of the center console). If I had an equally equipped Escape I would be happier with it. My wife likes the Edge mostly for the pano roof, but finds it larger (it is only 10 inches longer and 4 inches wider than the Escape it replaced) and harder to park. I suppose I have at least one more vehicle purchase to make. I hate the lack of sedans, but will probably go with something more Escape sized. I like the Explorer but not the price, but maybe by the time I need to get another vehicle I will be more likely to spend more. I try to get 20-25 years and 300-350k miles out of vehicles, and newer vehicles, even with cheaper builds and more electronics, seem more likely to be able to do that. I don't know if I am willing to buy a new Lincoln, they are nice and worth the extra cost, but out of my comfort zone ($82,000 for the 2024 Nautilus top end with hybrid). Used the extra $8-12k over the Edge made most MKX/Nautilus out of my range still. I am pretty loyal to Ford, but can keep an open mind.

I see complaints about exported vehicles to the UAE also have this functionality disabled. I don't know the difference between a "for export" to a country or one that was a North America config and exported. I am sure that you can tell this with the VIN, someone here got me detailed specs on mine that show information including the region and if it was marked for export or not. Mine shows build NA (north america), country CAN (Canada), plant Oakville, and the sales information is also NA, USA, Export = N. They don't even have the option to select a wireless network. That Wireless Projection setup is for wireless Android Auto/Carplay.
