Don't know the answer to your questions, but is the car fixed now? All the issues cleared?

Cool. Thanks for reporting back with a fix.

I don't know the answer to your question, though I would think overfill could be a cause. I am curious though why the dealer recommended the fluid changed in the first place. I can't imagine the fluid needing changed at only 32K. I'm not sure what the schedule is, but I'm betting it's not that early.

Welcome to the forum Ashley coppe. Just wanted to point out that you are responding to a post that is 5 years old. Just in case you didn't notice it. Not a big deal, but just wanted to point it out.

For $580, I think I would do the rebuild. Especially if you are doing the labor, or have someone that can do it relatively inexpensive. With a used engine, even if you could find one as cheap as that rebuild kit (and possibly labor), you take a big chance not knowing what you will get. With the rebuild, you know what you have in the engine and the quality of the work. Just my 2 pennies1

Ah. Makes sense. But when I had my Ham radio going (in my F-250), it kept blowing the fuse for the outlet. It just required too much power. I had to run the power directly to the battery. Have you had it up and working through the power outlet yet?

I can't help with the answer to this, but am just curious. Why do you want to do this?

Nothing wrong with that. And if nothing else, it at least makes people aware of a potential issue. Carry on!

Exactly. You put into words just what I was thinking.

I just got my recall letter in the mail today for my 2016 Edge. No parts available yet, so carry on until parts are available, then I'm supposed to get another letter to have me contact my dealer.

For me, it wasn't the seats in the Edge, but the legroom, specifically the foot room. My feet don't rest comfortably up under the dash. Well, mainly my left foot. I have to cock it sideways, and just can't get it right. I have gotten rid of other cars for this very reason. But the rest of the Edge is pretty good, especially for a 2016. It runs great and has plenty of features for me. Especially since I don't really drive it that often. My other vehicle was a F-250, but after I sold my 5th wheel, I really couldn't justify that much truck. I ended up trading it for a '23 Explorer, which has been a great ride. No leg/foot room problems, and really a great driving/riding car.

Welcome, and congratulations on the new car. I'm betting you took the picture with an iPhone. You'll need to save it to a computer, then find a program that will open it and save it correctly. I use Picasa to do it. I just open it, make sure it is oriented the right way, then save it back to the computer.

Exactly what I was going to say. Some kind of amp.

Awesome man. Thanks for the write-up and the pics. Mine are good right now, but it's something to tuck away and remember...hopefully!

Interesting. Any idea as to how the band came loose?
