  1. In my car, the air blows plenty cold,(in recycle mode) just not much air movement. Hubby says the blower is just not big enough. Also, with the fact that you can't close the vent in the back seat takes away from the air speed. (What where they thinking here??? You can close off the side vents up front why not in the back seat? Someone will probably say it is to cool off the back...I would rather have some windspeed up front, forget the back if no one is back there!) In his 4 door Chevy Duramax, the blower is tremendous! I mean it will blow your hair straight out from your face like you are in a wind tunnel! That whole cabin is cool in literally MINUTES! His air ROCKS!
  2. You misunderstand. I'm not trying to "attract" flies or any other insect here, just stating FACTS. My car's odometer is WAY off and this is an open forum as you stated and if I want to feel angry, then I don't see anything wrong with it!!!! It is America and it is the country of whistelblowers and I think if I feel something might be a scam or I am angry, I can say so WITHOUT apologies. I have seen others claim to get upwards to 30 MPG...something is really wrong...but this seals the deal for me...I am signing OFF of this message board and going to the other one were people aren't so JUDGEMENTAL of other people's issues with their new car. What good is a message board if I have to tiptoe around about how I really feel...CYA
  3. Thank you AKirby...a lot of people on this thread have been SO RUDE! I am just totally angry that my $32,000 vehicle is not measuring mileage right! It might not seem like a big deal, BUT, if you consider when your odometer reads 60,000 miles and you've really only traveled 54,000 miles you'd be pissed too! I have been a big fan of the Edge...see my previous posts. I just became skeptical when I took a long trip and was getting 28-29 mpg...I knew somethig was fishy as this cars top numbers are 26...no one ever sees those numbers or above unless something is not right! I thought about the timing thing too...will try that soon...again. thanks for being KIND! I am just a little hacked right now...
  4. Nope, no tires or wheels have been changed...since then, I have taken my hubby's other NEWER truck and got the same deal...his is a digital reader too. I called the dealership and they just LAUGHED and blew me off.! But I am TELLING you...those that think you are getting GREAT mileage...check the ODOMETER against other vehicles with the same route. Remember, I am NOT talking about MPG...I am talking about actual ROAD miles that your odometer is saying.You will be surprised. BTW, the old truck old truck and new truck were within 1 tenth of a mile...so....they are accurate and my Edge is NOT!
  5. MAJOR FLAW IS WHAT I MEAN. Anything that is going to "age" your car prematurely and cause what little value you have in a new car GO DOWN EVEN MORE *is* a MAJOR FLAW in my book.
  6. I'm not talking about the tripometer, I am talking about the MAIN odometer. YOU CAN'T RESET THAT! That is illegal and called odometer tampering. And the truck went 12 miles and my Edge went 14.7. THAT MAKES MY CAR OLDER THAN IT REALLY IS WHEN I GET READY TO TRADE! BTW, I checked it with someone else's car and got the SAME results...man am I pissed! I have LOVED my car until now!
  7. WOW! I am PISSED! I recently checked my mileage the old fashoined way..divided gallons used into miles traveled and came up with 28 mpg. DING DING DING! You NEVER get mileage rated ABOVE what the car is rated...that top number is only going 45 with no air and no hills. SO....I checked the mileage starting with the mile markers on the interstate. SURE ENOUGH, over about 8 miles I noticed it was not the same.... My hubby has a truck with the old fashoined roll over digits and took a trip and checked the mileage on that and then took the Edge on the same trip...SURE ENOUGH! It is NOT right!. This makes your car look like it is getting better mileage than it actually is!!!!!! WHAT A SCAM! What can I do about this? [b]Check yours and report back...maybe it is just mine that is MESSED UP! Man, am I MAD![/b]
  8. Anyone tinted a strip on the windshield at the top? With so much glass, my knees got burned on a long road trip recently! Would it look too pimpy or 70'ish?
  9. This is important...did you have the air on re-circulate....mine does not seem too cold if I am using outside air. Make sure it is on recirculate. I don't have the automatic one, so there is a button on the right that shows recirculate. MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE! :yup:
  10. shouldn't you reset when you fill up?
  11. My new car did not come with a mat for the cargo area...what is up with that??? Did my "stealership" cheat me or do they just not come with them? THe carpet back there seems mighty thin to not have a mat. *´¨) ¸.·´¸.·*´¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´ (¸.·' ¤ Paula
  12. HEy guys. What if I don't particularly like the mesh bug blocker that raises up when you open up your BAMR???? Can that be taken off without any performance problems? It looks FUNNY coming down the road. ~Paula
  13. Where do I look to find the manufacturing date of my car???? *´¨) ¸.·´¸.·*´¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´ (¸.·' ¤ Paula
  14. I just got my NEW creme brulee SEL with camel leather and vista roof and I have to say I am in LOVE!!! This is the first American car I have bought in YEARS! Had a Toyota Highlander and a Mits. Montero Sport but this car beats them both HANDS DOWN! Now that that is out of the way! I just got my car this weekend and notice that there are what appear to be hard water spots on the hood and on the vista roof that won't come off with just regular washing. I am assuming the dealer just sprayed the cars down without drying properly. Anyone know anything about "claying"??? I have read up and it says it works but you must be careful so that you dont' do more damage. I just hate to go ahead and wax this stuff in further!!! HElp anyone? THe water spots on the vista roof are EXTRMEMELY annoying![/color]
