I'm going to ask one of the moderators of this forum to remove my posts, I truly didn't mean any harm in asking my question. I was actually SINCERE and CONCERNED about the well being of my wife. We live in jacksonville,fl..in land area, it's the largest city in america. We reside on one side of town, but she has to commute to a different side of town that isn't quite as friendly and safe as our side. I'm sorry if any of the other users of this forum thought my question was too silly to be posted. I'll try and refrain from posting in here unless I just HAVE TO !! And by the way..thank goodness I have a smart wife, she devised a locking scheme on her own , also..of course she drive all of the legal speed limits, if she didn't she would get ran over. David

Hello, My wife and I purchased a new 2009 edge se this past sunday, we wanted to take advantage of the federal governments cash for clunker program. We had a 1992 ford f-150 truck that we need to get rid of for several reasons..mainly the amount of gas it used. We felt like now was a great time to do so, so far...we love our new edge. As I work for lowe's home improvement, I was able to purchase this through the x-plan program..this was one of the easiest purchases I've ever made, of course the dealer we purchased it from made the situation better also. As my wife and I are really not familiar with the edge, we still have a LOT to learn about it. I've already been able to enter a personal code on the keypad on the drivers door for my wife, makes it nice not having to use a key / keyfob. Right now my biggest concern is how long it takes the power locks to automatically lock when you start off in it. I guess we are use to how are other cars operate in that respect..that is when you start the engine and put it in drive the locks lock right away. Unlike the edge, it seems like quite a while before this occurs, I'm concerned for my wife's safety. She has told me that if she manually locks the doors before they are automatically locked they will lock for a few seconds then unlock..I think that's very unsafe ! We live in a big city, and I sure wouldn't want anyone to open the door and harm my wife. Does anyone have any suggestions for me ? Thanks, David

Hi, I'd still place a bet on the fact that somehow you could re-program the computer in our edge to change how the auto power door locks operate. I just don't know how to do it. David

Hi, Thanks for the info., it sure would have been nice if ford would have given the buyers of their vehicles a way to decrease the time before the doors lock automatically. David
