2008 with 68000. no problems

Remove the filter, put system on high blower and recirculate. Spray Lysol directly into the area where the filter goes. -- when you put itall back together the smell will be gone and stay gone if you make sure the drain is open. Do not lock the system in "recirculaate" let it run on outside air.

Mine would do that on occasion--- a fluid check showed it to be a little low. I added about a quart and have had no more problems for the past 3 months----

I don't remember the wheel size on the Sienna, but it was an XLE. The Michelins were installed at 25000 miles because the OE tires(also Michelin) were way too noisey. I sold the vehicle at 78,000 and the Michelin Rain Tires still had 5/32 of rubber left.

Your Ford dealer IS a Pirelli sales outlet and should handle the warranty. The tread life on the Pirellis is great when they are rotated at 5-7000 mile intervals and the alignment of the vehicle is within specs. I was a little concerned about how long the Pirellis on my Edge would last, but after my experience, I simply bought another set. The new ones are smooth and more quiet. Discount tire was my choice of tire dealers--- there was a $70 rebate from Pirelli and a $30 rebate from DT and using their Credit Card, they give you 6 months to pay it off with no interest. I love that part--using their money for a while.

The OE tires on my Sienna XLE were so noisey at 25K miles that I put on the Michelins. I don't remember the wheel size on the Sienna, but I was amazed at how far the Michelins went. I sold the van at 78K miles because the seating was uncomfortable to me. Arm rests way too low on the door and the ones on the captains seats were way too narrow. There was about 5/32" of tread left when I sold it.

I should have shipped you my old Pirellis--- There was little tread left, but no dry rot or cracks. They were manufactured in November of 07. As far as heat goes, there is not much that will outdo what we have here in Houston. Heat and lots of road hazzards from buckling pavement caused by the heat. Sorry to hear about the problem you are having. If you don't mind the cost,which is almost double of the Pirellis, Michelin makes a 20" tire in that size and the wear rating is slightly higher than the Pirelli.

The local "mop & slop" does a great wash job and the clear coat gets the best attention by staying in my garage. Almost 6 years old and looks shiney and bright! When I get ready to trade or sell, I'll spend $150 and get it detailed. I gave up waxing cars many years ago--- unless you have nothin better to do with your time, wax away!

Used to be that way, but tires have gotten better in the past few years. The OE tires on my Edge with 20" wheels had a tread life guarantee of 65,000 miles--- They could have made it--only another thousand, but it was more convenient to simply change them while I was at the tire dealer. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Pirelli&tireModel=Scorpion+STR&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=45HR0SCORSTRV2&tab=Specs I had a set of Michelin rain tires on my old 2004 Toyota Sienna that had over 50,000 miles on them when I finally sold the van--- 25,000 miles used to be a good number back in the days when tires cost $25 each---

5-7000 miles. Air pressure is checked monthly and set at 36 PSI

Actually, it was the same guy who told me to drive it till the oil light came on, then change the oil!

Driving on Houston TX wrecked roads---and they weren't quite worn down to the wear indicators. Still had a few thousand miles left in them, but got a "LOW PRESSURE" warning lite driving at 75 down the freeway and instead of having that left rear tire fixed, I decided to replace them. I had planned on doing it at the end of this month anyway, so I was only a couple of weeks off my schedule. Someone told me I should drive them till I could see the air-----

Likes--- Wear, Ride, and quietness--- they roll smooth--never required balancing after the first time, Dislikes-- None that I can think of-- these are 245/50/20 --- I actually didn't want 20" wheels when I bought the Edge, but, I gotta say that they have done very well for me so far and hopefully, the new tires, which are quieter than the originals will do as well if I last another 6 years!

Today, I finally replaced the OE tires on my 08 Edge Ltd. The original Pirellis finally wore down enough to warrant replacement at 64000 miles. I have been driving since 1948 and never had a set of tires wear as well as these-- The replacements are Pirellis---

2008 with 60K and zero problems---

The latch mechanism--- that "V" shaped part that grabs the silver part pn the body. Doesn't hurt to do the hinges either-- That'll make it easier to open & close---

Let us know if it works for you, too. It took me a long time to chase that noise down! :hyper:

That noise was driving me nutz--- so, I fixed it. Easy to fix. Get a can of white lithium grease and spray the door latches. Do it on all four doors -- the noise will go away for a long time. Seems like Ford wanted you to lube places that need lube!

I ordered mine (4 of the 5qt bottles) Sunday night. Went to pick them up on Monday and the clerk brought me 4 qt containers. I had printed out the ad along with my invoice and showed it to him--he sait that was the deal of the year and got me my 5qt containers! 4 oil changes will last me(at the rate I drive now) for 2 years.

Being that this subject has been beat to death, I'll keep it short-- K&N will not improve gas mileage-- the computer controls that. K&N will, at full throttle, give you slightly more air flow and a small, if any power increase, but only at full throttle. End of story----

Even K&N makes no "increased mileage claim" You still haven't explained how that works-- The mixture is controlled by the computer. Tests have been run with air filters stopped up against brand new ones and there was no change in gas mileage. Don't you think that if the gas mileage could be increased by changing the air filter that the automobile mfgr. would do it just to help their CAFE and sell cars? I've used K&N filters and all I found was an increase in intake noise in most cases, and a PITA to wash and clean. They are not cost efective till you drive one over 150,ooo miles. I don't know anyone who drives at full throttle all the time, so occasional performance use doesn't cut it either, but--- if it makes you happy to pour bucks into your ride, go for it, but unless you have something that technically proves your claim of gas mileage increase, you need to get a booth at the state fair and sell it along with the snake oil----

With the computer controlling the fuel mixture, I fail to understand how an air filter could possible do anything more than allow slightly more air at full throttle. Perhaps you would be kind to all of us who understand how the system operates and tell us where we are wrong---- Same with an exhaust system--- I only see full throttle improvements--same as it has been for the 65 years I've been driving and the 30+ I spent in the business---

Rotors are warped by dumb nutbusters who have rotated the tires and tightened the lug nuts with an impact wrench. Torque the lug nuts to the proper specs and it's possible that the vibration will go away. Cabin air filters can bge bought online for a fraction of the dealers price. They are easy to change. Takes about 2 minutes. https://www.logical-source.com/2007-FORD-EDGE-8770.html
