Until recently my Edge could set for days without any lost of vacuum that I could notice. My other Fords, 2004 F-150, and 2005 Excursion are the same way. The Excursion will sometime set for several weeks and still have vacuum. If yours doesn't last an hour you have a problem of some kind.

The first thing that I and my wife noticed was when starting the car after it had set for a period of time (over night) was that the brake pedal was hard. Push the brake pedal on your car without it running until all the vacuum is gone and then start it, that was the first symptom something was wrong. The brakes seemed ok but in hind sight it is now obvious that the pedal was spongy and we had just got used to it. This was before we got the letter from Ford detailing the program. After we got the letter we paid more attention to the brakes and the pedal felt soft and spongy as it would when you are losing vacuum in the booster. There was nothing wrong with the master cylinder. The pedal would not go to the floor, it was spongy when stopping and after it had been setting a while there was no vacuum left in the booster.

Just picked up the Edge, new booster installed, PROBLEM SOLVED.

Probably explained it wrong. Pedal is hard after is has set for awhile like someone got in it and pushed the brake until all the vacuum is gone, which it is. As soon it starts it gets a pedal but is spongy and when you push it goes farther then normal not all the way to the floor.. I have a ford ESP so whatever is wrong will only cost me the deductible at worst. The dealer ordered the booster and will install it on Monday. I called today and asked him to make sure and check the master cylinder.

Got the letter this week. Already suspected something was wrong. Had noticed last week when I went to start my 2011 Edge that the pedal was hard and went all the way to floor and did not feel right. Thought the wife might have held her foot on the brake after she parked it last time. Got the letter and started checking and I am fairly sure mine is failing. Brake pedal is spongy and goes farther down then it normally does if you push on the pledal. And lf it sits for very long the pedal is hard when you push on the brake to start it. Still have brakes but they don't feel right. Taking it to the dealer in the morning. Will report back when I get it back.

Got my update today in the mail and installed it. Took about 45 to 50 minutes. So far the only thing I don't like is the removal of the outside temperature from the display, hoping Ford will return this in the future..

How much would you waste if you took it to the dealer? For me I use less gas idling for an hour then if I drove it to the dealer, and the dealer would have it for a 4 hours minimum.

Try disconnecting your battery for 10 minutes. Had the same calendar and clock problems and this cured the problem for me. This was on the owner to owner site awhile back and I tried it and it worked. you will need to be in a location with a clear view of the sky. May have to re-sync phone.

Try this link: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/5928-factory-hitch-wiring/page__p__48206__fromsearch__1#entry48206 There is a link to the instruction in the thread, maybe the same as what you have as it says for 2007 and newer.

You could also disconnect the negative battery cable for 10 minutes. This will reset the system and is just about as easy as pulling the fuse. And you don't have to stand on your head to disconnect the battery cable :D

Yes, it downloaded.

Took my Edge in today for the update. Dealer had called last week and said he was ordering a new APIM and would call me when it came in. Dealer called yesterday and I took it in and they installed the new module and programmed it. Currently installed: Sync VersionGen2 - V2.8 Confirmed installations BT4T-14D546-AM SYNC compatible software SYNC compatible software SYNC compatible software BT4T-14F603-AM Waiting to download 0 items. Don't really know the reason for the new module as I was not really having any major problems but I wasn't going to question his offer. I had been talking to them about getting the Customer Satisfaction update done and had reported the calendar and clock problem (which I solved my disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes). Everything went smooth and only took 2 hours once they started the process. Of course it was at the dealer for 4 hours before they started. Glad I got the first day rental on my extended warranty. All systems including the Nav System appear to be working, and screen response is faster. Tried the voice commands and they do appear to work better. The Sirius channels also appear to be working correctly. Had to reconnect phones and they connected right up. Don't know what became of 2.10 but the version they installed today is supposed to be the latest as of today. Right now I am a HAPPY CAMPER and all systems are GO :happy feet:
