Thanks for the update and "fix". Always good to see closure.

Hah! Give it hell man, give it hell! You have nothing to lose with it, so might as well enjoy it while it lasts!

Yes, it is the 2.0L. I got the car a few years ago with around 75K on it I think. My son drove it for a couple of months before he bought a new car, and put a lot of miles on it. So far I have not had any major problems with it. I just got the rear camera recall done on it, and had the hood struts replaced. I replaced the battery a couple of years ago. Other than that, just regular maintenance. It is just over 100 K on it right now. I don't drive it a lot since I retired, but it is a great little car so far.

A dead cell used to be somewhat problematic "back in the day". I don't know if it is still an issue with todays batteries. But it does sound like a possibility. You say you don't have an Autozone, how about O'Reillys? They should also be able to test it. Or any auto parts store really (Napa, etc.).

Ah, yeah, maybe time to move on. Those nickels and dimes tend to add up pretty quick, especially in todays challenging economy.

I agree with enigma on the K&N cabin filter. I tried one on my Dodge Charger, and it let in so many odors, it was kinda worthless. Back to a factory type filter, and most of the odors were blocked out again. I had the K&N engine air filter in my old gas F-250, and it did fine for that truck. I never bought another filter, just cleaned and oiled as instructed. It did not increase HP or gas mileage, or anything like that. It did have a pretty neat roar on acceleration, but other than that, it just saved me a little money on replacement filters. I find it just easier nowadays to stick with manufacturer recommended filters, and don't try and mess with the aftermarket stuff anymore.

Well, I finally decided to get my Edge in for service. I had a TPMS fail on it, and was getting nagged by the dealer that the oil change is due. I also had this outstanding recall, full thing was Safety Recall Notice 25S89/NHTSA Recall 25V572. On the write-up from the dealer, it said "Scanned for codes, found code C1001:01 in the APIM", and then a bunch of stuff for diagnosing and fixing it. Basically, they ended up replacing the rear camera. I had a couple of issues with the camera in the past. Once it went black on my, and after I got it home, I tried it again, and it was all pixelated. But then it was fine for a while. It did it another time or two, so that's why I decided to get it in to the dealer. I also had the TPMS replaced, and the struts on the engine hood replaced. They were both dead. Too much money, but at least it's all done. Of course due to the miles, a few other items were recommended (various fluid flushes, cabin filter, and decarb the engine. But I figured I gave 'em enough for one trip. Anyway, all is well, and just wanted to pass on the result of my rear camera recall experience. They had my Edge for 2 days and came to my house, picked it up, and brought it back to me. All is well in the world again!

You are a poet, and didn't know it!

Agree...it doesn't make sense. I can't possibly imagine what happened, but something went haywire with the replaced windshield.

First, welcome to the forum. Now, why would you want to pursue all the Frankenstein parts for something that seems to work fine already? And how in the world did you find that Nissan and Volvo parts fit on a Ford car? Good luck with this, if you are able to find any info, or decide to pursue it on your own.

And everything is now working as it should? As enigma said, battery issues can cause all kinds of weird problems.

Glad you got it fixed, or, it fixed it self, as it were. And thanks for posting back up with the "resolution".

I seriously doubt it will be as easy as a simple swap from another car. I won't claim to know what would be involved in it, but I'm pretty sure it ain't gonna be a plug and play. And as for going back to "the olden days", that's not gonna happen either. This is one of those things I'm afraid that you're going to have to adjust to, if you want to drive the newer cars. Your only other option is going to be to drive an older car.

Well, I'm afraid I don't have an answer, but I am interested to see if this can be done. My thought is, it might be able to, but that it might be an expensive modification. Hopefully someone will come along with an answer for you.

How many miles on your Edge? Sorry to hear of all the problems. Did you get it new, or used?
