Congrats on the purchase! Don't forget to post some pics when you pick it up. :yup:

I waited 2 months for my 2010 Edge. Make sure you get updates from your salesman.

Clay bar would work wonders too.

I've used Turtle Wax Chrome polish for years. You also might want to try Mequiar's NXT All Metal Polish.

My Audi also had a belly pan. I believe the only alternative to not have one is to have one custom made from aluminum. I doubt there is a molded plastic pan available.

Here is a thread. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/2000-keyless-reprogram-keypad/

Never heard of a burning Edge but im sure there is a good reason behind it. Cars just don't burst into flames. I'm sure a lot of people will jump to conclusions but i'll wait to hear the results of the investigation.

Here is a thread where someone asked the same question. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/3319-front-license-plate-frame/

+1 Looks like the fenders are just outlined which makes them look somewhat flared. I say leave the fender flares for Jeep Wranglers and pick up trucks.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

You're my TWIN!!! :yup: Except mine is a 10'

Pics or it didn't happen. :stop:

He already has a working sensor. Why would he need to go out and purchase another wheel AND sensor? That would mean he would need a TPMS reset tool. Right now all he need is a new wheel and he can transfer his current sensor over. All he needs is a new sensor band as bbf2530 suggested.

Congrats!!! Pictures?

Where are the pics?

Yes, hosed them off before the pics so what you see are beads of water.

Yes, they are available. Are you interested?

Blackout covers? I haven't heard that since 1995. Holy flashback Batman! Please don't put those on your Edge.

Your search function must be broken.

I know exactly what it is and why others say it's "normal". Every car builds up surface rust on their rotors but no other car I've driven sounds like my Edge does the first few brakes of the day. Coincidentally the Flex owners have the same issue and there has been a TSB released. So hopefully Ford will release one for the Edge or im going to have to look into other alternatives.

On-Demand All-Wheel Drive An on-demand system is always driving one axle and then drives the other axle as conditions demand. In the case of the Ford Fusion or Ford Edge, the front axle is the primary drive axle. For the Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer, the rear axle is the primary drive axle. Simple mechanical systems use a clutch to send torque to the secondary drive axle when the primary axle starts to slip. Today’s electronic systems — like those found on all Ford Motor Company cars as well as Ford Explorer and Expedition, the Lincoln Navigator and the V-8 Mercury Mountaineer — use a computer controller that monitors such things as steering angle, accelerator pedal position and engine speed to provide the precise amount of torque, front to rear, as needed. “What’s really impressive about these systems is that they don’t just react to slip,” says Rodrigues. “They usually prevent that slip from occurring in the first place. By predicting slip and preventing it, the driver doesn’t feel the vehicle slipping and responding. The operation is seamless.” He says on-demand systems create a smooth, confident driving feel in all weather conditions with much better traction. The systems also help balance and improve driving dynamics by sending torque to the secondary axle when it’s most appropriate for handling. “On a normal front-drive vehicle, the front wheels have a limited amount of traction available to them,” says Rodrigues. “That traction has to be used for moving the car forward and for steering. If you use all of the torque to drive forward, you don’t have anything left to steer with, and vise versa. An AWD system off-loads some of that drive torque to the rear wheels. The harder you accelerate, the more of that torque that’s going to be redirected to the rear wheels, restoring the ability of the front wheels to steer the vehicle while providing an even higher level of acceleration.” But he cautions that while these sophisticated AWD systems do help with acceleration, they won’t make the car stop any faster. So since the Edge's AWD system is not ALL-TIME AWD isn't it mainly a FWD vehicle unless the system recognizes slippage? Converting to a strictly 100% FWD system wouldn't save much if any gas mileage especially since the FWD system would have to pull the weight of the AWD vehicle.

I really wish people would search before they post. Check out this link. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=1994&hl=running+boards

Oh so very true. A lot of cars have issues, not just Ford. Coming from an Audi I know a lot of Audi guys have issues with their cars. Especially the B5 a4/s4 models and the early B6 a4/s4 models. I would never buy a Mercedes or Range Rover after hearing/reading issues related with their cars/trucks time and time again. Basically its luck of the draw. You might buy something that will last you forever with just simple maintenance or you might buy a lemon.

^I'm with him in saying they're probably the exact same wheel with a different center cap. There is a set of OEM 20" Edge wheels on Ebay also. Maybe you can talk him into free shipping or to lower the price a few hundred? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20-CHROME-FORD-EDGE-OEM-WHEELS-RIMS-TIRES-CHROME_W0QQitemZ200428045110QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item2eaa714336
