Will the re-write come out mid cycle on the 2011's so that some people have it and others don't or will it simply come out when they release the 2013? Will this re-write be able to be loaded into existing 2011 and 202 models? I would think it would be a shaft for us owners to be stuck with a inferior system when Ford is aware of it's flaws, hence the re-write. Just don't wanna be stuck as the lab rat who tested the system so they can make a better one for those who waited does anyone have a 100% confirmation that we will be able to flush our existing system for the new one? Thanks!

Is this the so called "big one" or is there another version / update expected in the next few months?

Thanks for the feedback everyone!! I'll definitely take all suggestions into consideration!!

Thanks for the reply, i appreciate the feedback!! I'll mention this to my dealer who currently has my vehicle in for 9 other issues along with this one, (i have a lemon) and see if this suggestion helps any. Just curious, let's say this is the case or something similar, why does it only start at 80 km's an hour, and almost exactly to that number? Wouldn't the throttle be just as open at lower speeds while accelerating or higher rpm's? Today is Tuesday, i wonder if I'll even have my car back by Friday Any other suggestions welcome for this noise I'm hearing should anyone want to suggest something different. Thanks!!

Hey Everyone, Im heading over to the dealer to try and fix a problem I've have since i took ownership of my car. I've been there once before about this but they claim to not hear the noise... Here is the notes i am handing to the dealer tomorrow: The car will randomly make a “scratching” / sound while the accelerator is being pressed (or cruise control engaged) while driving on the highway at speeds approx. 80+ km’s / hour. This noise also sounds like a "snowy" channel when the tv cable is unplugged. This happens on almost ever occasion with the exception of a few times per week, if that. The sound is not extremely loud, but annoying as hell and could be heard over soft music easily. This noise will shut off once the gas / throttle is released. I am ruling out this being related to the TSB # 11-2-13 (wind noise due to side mirror) as it will ONLY happens while accelerator is pressed / throttle engaged. If I release the gas the noise stops immediately, if I re-apply the gas it comes back on…I can make it start and stop the noise simply by engaging the throttle. I have tried to identify where this is coming from and it certainly the front of the car, left side, behind the dash possibly. This noise has been haunting me for months now, i just haven't had the time to bring my car in unfortunately to deal with it. The killer was last week on my 18 hour road trip vacation, I had to listen to it all 8 hours driving there and back, i finally lost it and am taking some time off work tomorrow to being it in. Just as an fyi...i did the mirror fix with the foam insert and this noise still happens, I'm ruling out it being the mirrors as this noise will not appear at any speed unless the throttle is engaged. So, the noise ONLY shows up when I am pressing on the gas, or the car is on cruise control, it starts up between 70 and 80 km's per hour and will immediately disappear when i release the gas. It sorta sounds like air, but at the same time it doesn't..it sounds like rushing water, snowy channels, and best word to describe it is "scratchy". It is not coming from the radio as it will do it with the radio on or off. I tried with different setting on the heater and a/c and it still shows up regardless. I read someone mention something about a cracked evaporator on their car causing noise...could this be a possibility? Any help that i can bring it to the dealer with regards where to look or anything that may help would be really helpful! Thanks! Tony

Hey Everyone, Can someone please tell me the best way to get dead splattered bugs of my Chrome grill, side mirrors, and entire front end without ruining the paint? I just got back from a 18 hour road trip and my car looks like I took out a few hundred bugs, the front end is completely covered to the point my side mirrors don't even show any paint anymore lol…some are really large, some small, some simply exploded and some of them are still somewhat in tact lol. The heat has been so intense the last few days and I'm sure they have crusted on the paint since I got back on Monday July 4th. I highly doubt my regular soft Simonize mitt will be able to scrape these suckers off so what is the best "abrasive" I can use to get this mess off the car after it has dried up and what kind of soap do I need? Should I use my std Meguiar's Gold? I saw someone at a car wash a few weeks back and the car wash guy was telling him that they needed to apply a special solution to get the bug residue off the paint and they used a small semi-abrasive scrubber, almost like the ones used to wash the dishes but not exactly in order to get all the "grime" off. Before I do something I regret to the paint, can I please get some feedback on the tools and soaps I should use to get this off, I'm expecting it to be very tacky and crusty once I get to doing this. Thanks in advance everyone!!! Tony

Please Disregard.

Thanks for the replies guys!! akirby - I'm guessing this function is in the menu within the left side 4" screen?

Quick question, I need to transport something that won't entirely fit into the Edge. I am missing about 6 to 10"'to allow for the hatch to close all the way. I've seen people drive with things sticking out of their trucks with the hatch tied down tight to prevent it from bouncing but don't know how this apply to the Edge with a motorized hatch? Is doing this something I should avoid for concern of breaking the motor or are these motorized hatches built for this and made for situations like this? Before I commit to transporting my furniture piece, I'm hoping I can get some feedback on leave the gate partially open. It's just that motor that's got me worried. Thanks! Tony

Thanks for replying, was hoping for some logical feedback! Based on taking a trip and doing only highway driving, cruise set to 105 km's / hour non stop for a 8 plus hour road trip, for a limited AWD, how many km's can I expect to do on a full tank? 600 kms +\-? No stops, just get on highway and 1st stop would be to refuel. Thanks again!

I just don't get it....Each time I fill up, the screen which shows me how many km's I have to empty is completely different. For example, I filled up back around 2 months ago and I was showing 579 km's to empty once I left the gas station which I was thrilled to see. Then the next time I filled up I showed something close to 499 until empty. I filled up yesterday and couldn't believe it but now showed 454 km's to empty? Why would I get such different results? On almost all accounts, I prob had less than 20 km's left to empty or approx 1/8th in the tank give or take by the reading. Don't know if it makes a difference or not, but when I find gas at a really good price, I tend to fill then overfill, meaning I will slowly pull out the nozzle 3 to 4 times so I can get it extra full but I doubt this makes a difference? The results are not a few km's away, we are up to 100 at times? What are people showing when they fill up all the way? Is there something I need to reset prior or after filling up to make it read correctly? Now, second question: As much as I am showing 499 km's to empty, knowing in my head I should probably have more, when I drive highway or city I notice that it's not 1 for 1 with my millage. I was driving highway on cruise control set to 105 and I was getting roughly 2 km's on the tachometer for every 1 km being reduced on my KM to empty screen I guess making up for the lower number? Is this normal? Not always the same in the city but I have seen this. Lastly, How sensitive is the fuel indicator? I am asking as I've put gas in on 2 occasions and the km's to empty has not reflected it and didn't rise. I was in a bad situation about 2 months ago, had something like 5 km's left till empty and only had $10 on me. I put in the $10 but the millage left to empty never went up, it stayed at the same 5 km's. Any help to these 3 questions would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance! Tony

Wish you were in Canada, I would join you in your fight, my entire car is worth trash right now. I brought my car in on Friday for 8 problems, 1 recall, and 1 TSB, i was grossed out by the number of problems i am having with it and like you said, i also paid almost 50k for this "thing". Half my problems they can't even fix, not to mention my lack of 4" screens which contain vital info which continue to shut down for days and after asking the dealer this Friday for an update on the fix, Ford still hasn't been able to find one...that sickens me. The only thing i want right now is to get rid of this thing, i will be speaking with someone on my end as well regarding lemon laws as well. This car in my opinion needs to be taken off the road. Not everyone is facing problems, but the people that are, it's pretty severe and the risk is there for everyone. I wonder who the first person i should call is in Canada about this??

Hey everyone, I'm out on a weekend getaway about 250 km's from home and my 2 4" screens have once again gone dead, what a piece of garbage!! Can someone please post the procedure on how to cycle the keys?? From what I remember, it's more than just opening and closing the locks from what the dealer told me about 2 months ago. Thanks for the help!

Wonder if these mirrors will fit on my October built Edge? May try and get my dealer to swap them out....that is if it is compatible with my Bliss system (in case they tweaked around with it?)

Sorry akirby!! I intended to mention this and it slipped my mind and I was rushing to finish before work started lol. I will be loading all music and play lists onto a 4 gig USB flash drive. I already have all my music on it but want to add a few playlists to it. I have an iphone 4 as well, but don't have the patience to continue taking it out of my pocket to plug it in to access the music but I think it also get's done wirelessly if I am correct. In any case, I don't want to worry about pairing all the time or it dropping the connection, I want to stay safe and go with the USB drive for this type of job. Thanks for your help! Tony
