Yep. Well, not totally gone, but I no longer have it. After I sold my F-250 a year or so ago, I got a Ford Explorer to go with my Edge. As it turned out, I really missed my truck. I don't regret selling it, especially with the current price of diesel. So I bought a F-150. Much more manageable, and ahhhhh, back in a truck. I gave my Edge to my son, to help him get back on his feet. Then he will give it to my grandson. Or help him get the car he wants (he wants a Mustang). Anyway, my son took the car home today. 98K and some change miles, just fully serviced, and otherwise good to go. So I'll hang out on the forums here for a bit more to look for any straggler comments or replies to other threads, then say goodbye. It was a great car, and never gave me any trouble, other than normal maintenance stuff. I would even consider the failed TPMS sensors maintenance items. They are all fixed now. It's been good...y'all carry on!

My service department here has been really good when it comes to service bulletins and recalls. I've had a couple before on other vehicles that were the same language, change only if observed to be defective, or whatever. But they changed it out anyway. I only had one time they would not work with me, and that one still kind of torques my lugnuts a bit. Anyway, I'm glad they did it. I'd like to have the car in as good shape as possible handing it down to my son and grandson. It makes me feel better.

I just got this letter today, saying the fix is available. I just happened to put my Edge in the shop a couple of days ago to fix another TPMS sensor, and have another one replaced under warranty (they replace it a few months ago, and it failed). I had them check the recall also, and I don't know if they found it bad or not, but they replaced it anyway. So I should be good to go for the potential brake problem, and hopefully all my TPMS sensors. I will be giving this car to my son, who will use it until he gets back on his feet, then give it to his son. That was the deal I made with him. So I wanted to make sure the car was all serviced up and as good as can be.

Welcome to the forum. Just wanted to let you know that you are replying to a thread that is 3 years old. Not a big deal, just wanted to let you know in case you didn't get a response from the OP.

Welcome to the forum Tom.

Also Brian, first, welcome to the forum. Also, in case you didn't notice, you responded to a post that is 11 years old. Not necessarily a bad thing, just note it in case you don't get a response from the poster.

Nice man!

I think we need a little more history also. Was the car running before? What happened when it when it wouldn't start (was any work done to the car prior to it not starting)? Did you add anything, any mods or such? Any other information that may help to know what happened prior to it not starting.

Nope. Maybe it's trying to tell you that 82 is too fast when it's 115 degrees on the Interstate. Drive slow(ly). Let us know if it pops up again...sounds like a mystery!

Hey Andrew, welcome to the forum. Please note, if you didn't see it, that you responded to a post that is over 4 years old. The poster may not be active on the forum, or may not have the car any longer. Just wanted you to be aware of that in case you don't get a response.

I knew I shouldn't have responded to this post. I knew I would jinx it. And sure enough, I took off today and damned if the TPMS error didn't pop up. Driver's back tire. When I left to come home, it didn't come on again, but it did come on just before I got home. So yeah, number three down. As far as buying the sensors and stuff, I know I could probably get it done cheaper (we don't have a Big O's here...just Discount Tire and some local things), but sometimes it's just easier to get it done while getting other stuff serviced at the dealer. I'm too old to care anymore, and I can't do the stuff myself anymore. So I'll feed the dealer unless it is stupid expensive. At that point I can just dump the car anyway. But so far, I don't see that happening. It's doing me good.

What they said. I have a 2016, and replaced my first one about a year ago. Just replaced the second one a month or so ago. I'm sure the next two will be coming up before too long. Cost $134 at the dealer to change it out. I got it done while I had it in for oil change and other service. Easy peasy.

Thanks for the update. And good luck on the project. Keep us informed on your progress.

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".
