Agree, if those were holes, you'd have an issue going through a car wash - drain holes are typically at a low point and protected against water jets.

I believe those marks are from the manufacturing process. They are not holes, does not go all the way thru, at least not on my vehicle.

Made the mistake of not freeing the front wiper before the drive to the office this morning in -3 (celsius) temperatures. The wiper struggled, then proceeded to move across the windshield, before sticking in the up position. Turning the car off, then on again, the wiper resets as normal when starting and rests in the proper down position, but as soon as I turn the wiper on, it moves across the windshield and sticks in the up position again. The fact that it can move, and across the full range, tells me it's not a fuse burned out or a damaged linkage, right? Thanks in advance!

I have no buttons on or around the instrument cluster. And in the system check report, there are no other options to select after it reports the distance to empty. So neither instructions will work. Although I appreciate the copy of the owners manual, I will review it to see if there are alternate instructions that will help. In the meantime, if anyone has any other ideas, I would appreciate it.

I will have to check and see if I have those.

Doesn’t sound exactly like mine but I had an acceleration issue about 2 years ago. Mine would be fine until it warmed up and then wouldn’t accelerate at all. Turns out one of the plastic vacuum hoses had cracked. Ford wanted over $400 for the vacuum hose assembly but I replaced the rigid hose with some rubber vacuum hose and have had no problems since. Not sure if this is the same but thought I’d give it a try.

I hope these help. The holes are smack dab in the middle of each lens. There is one hole in each lamp unit. I've included a contour shot since I don't know if Ford modified it when they added the holes. They aren't noticeable unless you look for them. Just large enough for air flow.

A surprisingly easy process.

Anyone flat tow a 2024 Edge ST-Line behind RV? What system do you use please?

I bought my hood insulator blanket directly from ford. I didn't pursue the engine cover, but I agree it would be a nice way to hide all the wiring and hoses that are exposed. The hood insulator came with all the retaining clips and was very easy to install. I think it was about 140 bucks. Not sure why Ford chose to stop using it, other than saving a few bucks. It looks funny without it for sure.

Yes. I believe the larger diameter and wider tires are the main reason. Even if the suspension is bottoming out the tires should not rub. Sorry can't help with recommendations. But OEM (Motorcraft) is always a good option.

The administrators finally responded and created the subsection - 2019-Current Edge & Nautilius

Thanks for the VIN research Wubster100. So, if the vehicle doesn't have a factory tow package, and the only driver is a former dealer employee, I'd like to assume that it's likely that this vehicle hasn't been used for towing, but who knows, I know. Thanks again everybody.

Was it with a full tank of gas?

When I read all of the above, ...I feel like I would be driving a spaceship LOL. Thanks a lot Wubster100 (seriously). But my son doesn't understand why I want "that" car.

So was out cleaning up the interior and had the engine idling. About every 15 seconds the idle would slow a bit with the lower idle shudder, and then recover to normal. Like is would slow 75 rpm and then recover. Any ideas? Haven't checked for a code yet and now light on the dash. Car runs fine otherwise. 2017 Edge Sport 2.7L

@Edgingage: Discussion on the components you mention can be found here... Good luck!

Try changing the values that I posted above. After you make the changes, reboot the APIM.

What would I need to change to fix this also do you see why the climate isn’t showing up? Thank you so much

It's on page 188-9 of the owners manual. ------- "STOPPING THE ENGINE WHEN YOUR VEHICLE IS MOVING WARNING: Switching off the engine when your vehicle is still moving results in a significant decrease in braking assistance. Higher effort is required to apply the brakes and to stop your vehicle. A significant decrease in steering assistance could also occur. The steering does not lock, but higher effort could be required to steer your vehicle. When you switch the ignition off, some electrical circuits, for example airbags, also turn off. If you unintentionally switch the ignition off, shift into neutral (N) and restart the engine. E357998 1. Press and hold the push button ignition switch until the engine stops, or press it three times within two seconds. 2. Shift into neutral and use the brakes to bring your vehicle to a safe stop. 3. Shift into park (P). 4. Apply the parking brake."

The 2019 I'm looking to buy has the cupholder insert but doesn't have the hood insulator blanket. I found that VERY cheapy from Ford. If the deal come through I'll have to order a blanket for the hood and maybe also for the engine, doesn't have any either. Do you know if the hood insulator blanket can be ordered from somewhere? I don't like to see all those wires and connexions sposed on the engine. Maybe I got spoiled with my 2011 SEL, most wires and connexions are covered.

Hi Will2U, could you please mind to post a couple of pictures showing the location where the factory holes were drilled? TIA

Some of your settings are set to the European region.
