I have not had any issue yet in my 2016 Edge, or my 2023 Explorer, but when I had my 2019 SuperDuty, I had to replace the front camera. The rear was fine before I traded it in, so I don't know if it ever failed or not. It was under recall, but when I traded it, it was still "awaiting parts". I bought the front camera from an online Ford dealer for a great price, and changed it myself. Took about an hour and all was well. My Edge is under recall for the mirror (guess what...parts unavailable at this time".) The Explorer has no recalls at the moment.

Man, these rear-view camera issues have been going on for years. Why can't Ford get it right? You'd figure after this long, they would have it figured out.

Very cool. Thanks for getting back and posting the fix.

Not necessarily. Though it might not be called Edge, it is certainly in the realm of possibility to bring it back under a new name. Who knows??

Boy, the more technologically advanced we get, the stupider technology seems to become. I simply do not have the patience to go to that much trouble to make my music play in the intended order. It is insanely crazy that something so seemingly simple seems to be impossible to accomplish. Bring back the 8 track tape baby!

Well, I hope we didn't scare Patrick off. I'm curious to see what he is referring to.

Welcome to the forum Patrick J. First, in case you didn't notice, you are replying to a post from 13 years ago. Second, a picture is worth a thousand words. If you can provide some pictures of what you are asking about, it would be really helpful. Finally, please provide information about your car...year, trim, etc. The more info you provide, the better people will be able to help you.

Awesome. Glad you got it fixed. And thanks for posting up the fix also. It may help someone in the future.

I bought a 2016 Titanium a couple of years ago, with around 60K I think. I don't put a lot of miles on it, but my son drove it for a while when his car tanked on him, until he got a new one. He put quite a few miles on it. It now has 95K or so, and I have not had any issues with it. I did have to replace a TPMS sensor just recently, but otherwise, routine maintenance. Again, I don't drive it heavily, since I am retired, and it's just me and my wife, and we have another car also. But I have had nothing bad to say so far.

Just out of curiosity, what were the bugs? Seems kinda strange that all would be well if there were bugs in the load.

Did you hear anything from your dealer yet?

HULK SMASH!

I think this is going to be a tough one. Hang tight...maybe someone will be along with some help. It's way out of my league.

Hey, when you get the itch, ya gotta scratch it. Nice car...congratulations.

Great. Thanks for updating us and closing this one out. It's always good when someone reports back with a fix. Good on ya, and glad you got it fixed.

"Sometimes..."? I think most times. The search functionality on these forums is just not very good. Not just this forum, but almost all forums I visit. I have never had much luck finding anything on any of the forums I am on. But your advice about using Google is spot on. It even sometimes brings you to the very thread in a forum you were trying to find! Very frustrating.

Ditto. I mean, isn't AWD by definition 4 wheel drive? I'm confused.

I may or may not be able to provide any help for you, but no one can unless you provide a bit more information. Year, trim, is this a new to you car, have you done any work on it that may have affected the radio, etc. Welcome to the forum.

I almost always have this "issue" with new tires, especially Michelins. But after a couple of thousand miles, it goes away. I still stick with Michelins, as I've been using them forever, and never had any problems with them (above temporary issue noted).

Well, if it makes you feel any better, it's not just the Edge that has this issue. I have seen some problems over on the Explorer forum, and I had to have the blend door/actuator issue repaird on my old F-250. I have seen it on other year models as well. So it seems to be more a Ford issue rather than a specific model. I'm sure other brands have issues as well, but I can't be sure since I have had mostly Fords. My Dodge Charger did not have this type of issue. I have a 2016 Edge, with just over 100K, and no issue with that yet. My Explorer is a 2023 with around 45K, and no issues with that one yet either. Yours is a 2007, so things are going to go wrong with it. It doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad car, it's just getting old. There, now don't you feel a little better??

Great. Glad you got it solved. And thanks for posting back with the fix. This helps others that may be having the same or similar problem.

Hah! I never knew it had a name, but I am familiar with the concept from my flying days in the Air Force. We would always take a plane up after it came back from maintenance and test all the equipment before the plane returned to service. There were many times I remember hearing the maintenance folks saying everything was just fine when it left here. And we would always say, "well, you shouldn't have touched it if it wasn't broke". And back and forth. Mostly in jest, but the Waddington Effect was certainly a real thing. The other funny thing I remember from those days, was "CND". We would report an issue with something, and when it came back, it would be stamped "CND". Could Not Duplicate. There were some problems that happened while the plane was in the air, but could not be duplicated or replicated on the ground. Very frustrating sometimes. Ahh, the good old days!

When you fill up, do you try to squeeze ever last bit of gas into the tank? You know, keep pumping and clicking until you can't get anymore in? If so, this may be contributing to it. I didn't believe it was so until I tested it out, not putting anymore gas in after the initial shutoff. Sure enough, no fumes. Then I tried to pump as much as I could in on the next fill up, and yep. There were the fumes again. So I verified that this was an issue. This was in my previous car (a Dodge Charger), but I did try it in my Edge also, and it sure enough happened then also. So I no longer pump until my hand cramps. After the pump shuts off the first time, I hang it up and carry on. If you are not doing this, then that's all I got.

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.
