jeanekit Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I have a 2011 Edge and am not happy with it. I had it to the dealer twice who can not duplicate the problem: when either me or my husband drive. Going down hill, foot not on gas, engine revs between 4-6 RPM. I also only get 17 miles a gallon.

Not a problem, that's part of the design. The engine is cutting fuel and using compression to help you engine brake. It is not using extra fuel as the injector pulses are cut off. You apparent lack of MPG efficiency is due to something else. Has the engine been through the break in period? Are you doing the proper type of driving for the break-in? i.e. not driving a single engine RPM for long periods of time and not hammering it, et cetera?

If you drive in hilly terrain you will get poor gas mileage. I say this because of your reference to going down a hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT58 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 This does not sound right. We have owned a 2007 Edge for 3 years, now we have a second one a 2010 Sport. Never have either of our Edges done anything close to this. RPM's are usually low. We drove our Edges in hilly country (MA), now in flat country FL. And our gas mileage average is 21 in both of them. The have been flawless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C7XR7 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I've noticed that in our 2010 Limited AWD but only when driving with the OD off. Not a problem, that's part of the design. The engine is cutting fuel and using compression to help you engine brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try feathering the brake and a sharp decline. I can feel the car kick down when I do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
