I was sideswiped in December and got out of the car expecting a mess. The Edge held up surprisingly well.

Since the announcement of the 2011's it has gotten a little boring for those of us with other model years.

Thought I would share this, I got a good laugh from it. Sunday we were in a suburb too close to Chicago and saw a Miata with a racing number painted on the door. I was cracking up and before I could even finish gawking at it I looked over and saw this. Except this car has blue painters tape for a racing number.

I agree, has been a little dull around here. I think we lost some very colorful characters.

I was wondering why I could not find any AWD 2011's in the dealer online inventories. Does anyone have any more information on this? Very disappointing.

Awesome Edge. Love it. Best picture so far.

I got the very first XM radio and had it installed in my vehicle and used it inside and had reception issues at times. I think it is just how it is with satellite radio.

The dealer should give you a second one. I bought mine new and one key was missing, they made me one. Even buying used you should get a second key.

If mine sits overnite after driving through snow or rain the brakes make all kinds of noise when I start out. I'm no mechanic but I think the springs make some noise if conditions are right.

I gave mine up but when I was using it I found that a lot of things interfere with the signal. Pulling into the garage, driving thru trees, tall buildings, the ozone being too thick that day and birds overhead (just kidding). Very tempermental in my opinion. I bought an ipod and spend the money downloading music instead.

I walked into them blindly when I bought my 2008. Sure are pretty when they are clean but they are hard to keep that way, it is a lot of work to care for them.

Second one. Shiny wheels just look so good.

I will ask about pick up/drop off service. The loaners they use are rentals, not something off of the lot, so I can see where it would get expensive but so is the car payment and it is still under warranty. If it wasn't broken I wouldn't have this problem. I just went to hell and back getting body work done so this is my next battle. I think trading it in would be easier. Life is too short for this aggravation.

Wanted to ask the forum before I have to battle the dealership regarding getting a loaner while my Edge is in for warranty repair. I have always had trouble with my Sync microphone, lo and behold there is a TSB for it so I took it to the dealer in October for an oil change and asked about it. After sitting there for over 2.5 hours they said it needs a new one and that they would order it. I had a day off in December that I planned to drop off the car for the day and get it back later while we did other things. The mic was on backorder. After the holidays I called to see that it was in, let them know I was coming etc. The dealers in IL do not set appointments for repair, it is first come first served. I am told the repair is a minimum of 1.5 hours, not including how long I have to wait for a mechanic to begin on it. The dealer is refusing to get me a loaner, they say that it has to be a repair that is at least a day. I certainly do not have hours to sit there away from work to wait for it. I have talked to two different people about it and before I go further wanted to know if anyone here works for a dealer and if they are b-s'ing me. Do I go back to the service manager or to the dealership manager? This dealer is the most convenient for me. Thanks.

Yes. They replaced the seals and it has been fine, even after a very very cold winter.

Often simply rebooting the Iphone will get things back on track.

Sure thing Akirby. I attached it as two files, had to scan the hard copy. I also have a 2008. What would tghe symptoms be if this repair was needed? Is this something that tends to happen with higher milage?

Up until recently I have had no problem but now it is constantly not connected to my iPhone, I have to go in and connect it on the phone and even then sometimes it does not connect, says Sync is not in range and I am sitting in the car. I think one fix you could try is deleting the phone and re-pairing it.

Nope.

Be glad she is not the flakey lady that sideswiped me in December and then tried to hide it from her husband.

They look great. You have the same color Edge as I do.

I had the full TSB printed, I won't have it in my hand until Saturday night. Wasn't able to have it faxed or emailed to me.

I can get it I think, might have to wait til tonite or tomorrow I will post it if no one else does before I have it.

How bad was the smell? The PTU smell is sickening, it made me nauseous. If it is just a musty stale smell could be the cabin filter or something else.
