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.

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?

Welcome to the forum Greg. Just wanted to let you know you are responding to a post from 14 years ago. It's possible these folks are no longer on the forum. Not a big deal, as you aren't really asking for any help (that I can make out), but just wanted to let you know, in case you missed it.

Retired AF MSgt. Morse Code operator (with 2 years in a communications center just to mix things up). Airborne for 5 1/2 years (RC-135s). Been to Japan, Omaha, Alaska and Hawaii. Retired in San Antonio, TX in 2000. Man, that was a long time ago. My thanks to all my brothers and sisters who served.

Huh. I never really thought about it, but yeah, I can see myself missing that also. I use the rear door lock probably as much or more than I use the front door lock. It is interesting though that my '23 Explorer still has the rear door locks. Or maybe they're back on there. Hmm, dunno.

Welcome to the forum sheshe. I can't help with your issue, but I just wanted to let you know, in case you didn't see it, that you are replying to a thread that is 3 years old, and both of those folks had only 1 post. So you may not see a reply from them. It may be better to start a new thread for your issue, though in this case, someone may come along that may be able to help. Again, welcome to the forum.
