I have a 2008 Edge Limited. It consistently gets 21-23 around town and 24-25 on highway. At one point on a trip it was getting 27 going 55 MPH. I am very pleased so far. I've owned it since October 2007.

I have had an issue of "USB removed" with my Apple iPhone, also. And yesterday, i could not "end phone call" by pushing button on steering wheel. Instead, it tried to redial. I will call the Ford Customer Service number.

OK.......here's what I did and it seems to have fixed it. While I was waiting for my husband to get home, I finally got it to select "power lift gate off" on the message display and I shut it manually. Then I reset it to "power lift gate on" and the lift gate shut properly. I'm thinking it reset it somehow.

We are having warm weather. i returned from shopping and hit the close button but it pops right back up as soon as it hits the bottom. I checked for any obstructions. There is a way to disengage power to lift gate but it won't allow me to do it because it is stuck in open position. Yes....I will have to get it to dealer with it open, I guess. Disappointing!

I have 2500+ miles on 2008 Limited and today the power lift gate won't close. Neither the interior buttons nor the key fob will make it stay down. It starts to close and then opens again. I'm afraid to manually force it. Any ideas?

Have you learned anything about the popping noise in left rear tire? I have not taken mine in yet. I forget about it because when the windows are up, I don't hear it

When my 2008 Edge Limited hit "50 miles until empty" the fuel low alarm chimed......just like in my 2004 Expedition. I deliberately let fuel get low yesterday to see if there was an alarm chime and it did happen as soon as it hit below 50 miles.

thank you for info. I wonder if Apple will update that version of Bluetooth to work with SYNC? Thank goodness it works for the phone and iPod functions!

The SYNC in my Edge is working perfectly except for Text Messaging. I have an Apple iPhone which has the Text Messaging function and I am able to send and receive text on the phone. However, when I select Text on SYNC it reads "the connected phone does not support text messaging" on the display. Does anyone have any ideas why since obviously the iPhone has Text Messaging function? Thanks. '08 Vapor Silver Limited FWD

It doesn't sound like a creak........more like small rocks rattling.

Keep me informed. We are going away for Thanksgiving so I cannot take it in before next week. Other than that I'm really enjoying the car...how about you? '08 Vapor Silver Limited FWD - 20s, also (Hmmmm......could that be it?)

Has anyone noticed a rattle (sounds like small rocks) in left rear wheel? I could not hear it at first because interior is so quiet but noticed noise when I rolled window down going at slower speed. Any ideas? Thanks. '08 Vapor Silver Limited FWD

I do not have any problems using SYNC with my iPod. It displays the music library and switches between artist, album, track, etc with voice command. With the iPhone, it is all in one so I just plug into USB and leave iPhone in the console and I'm good to go. I don't text message anyway but I realize many people do.

My Apple iPhone works fine with SYNC (after I changed text of contacts from capitals). The iPod function displays the music library and the iPhone function displays all my contacts.........I have not tried text message yet. The SYNC option has been great for me because I no longer fumble around with my phone trying to dial a number which I can't see because I can't find my reading glasses!

p.s. In answer to your other question: when I had all capitals for the contacts, the only name it recognized was Van but she pronounced it V-Ann. Now it makes sense because the SYNC was reading the capital letters as separate words thus "V AN" instead of Van. It was an easy fix thanks to a nice lady at customer service!
