My 2018 Edge SEL has rain sensing wipers. 3 times over the past couple months while driving with the wipers in auto rain sensing mode, the wipers started and adjusted speed with the rain as they should but then stopped altogether. The wipers would not work in any setting-auto, low or high speed. I stopped the car turned the engine off and restarted and the wipers worked properly again. Have there been any recalls on this issue since if I am not able to quickly stop to restart the car, this could be a serious safety problem.

You may not want to assume the A/C in the Escape is the same as the Edge. We have an Escape and Edge. The Escape cools down much quicker than the Edge. Once the A/C runs for a while in the Edge it is satisfactory but not equal to the Escape in quick cool down.

I also like the fake ABS Brake light mentioned in the above article with the faux sunroof. Some people just have too much money.

I agree it has a lot of problems. I wanted an outside temperature sensor and found the Wayfarer on Ebay and obtained it for $11. It does provide the temperature and direction but is not what I really want. I would like to have a smaller wireless temperature display that can be viewed at night and easily attached somewhere unobtrusively to the dash or console. Unfortunately, the temperature readout in the rear view mirror are not available for vehicles with sync since the mirror has the mic for the sync.

I have the SE with the SYNC option thus the mirror contains the mic. Ford Accessories does not have a mirror that includes temp with sync. Without the sync the mirrors costs almost $400. I did install theWayfinder compass/temp and it does work. Some problems are that it is a LCD display and is hard to see at night. It does have a light but is very dim. Also, since it is a separate unit not integrated into the dashboard it must be attached to the windshield or laid on the console; therefore requiring me to place it in the console when I left the Edge. I do not want a thief could mistaking my $11 unit for a GPS. If anyone else has an exterior temp gauge, let me know how it works for you.

Thanks for checking. Mine is also around 600 rpm in drive. Since I have the rollback problem, I will assume that the fix is not affecting the MPG at least as far as the idle speed is concerned.

Yes, that is correct. Let's compare the idle (car stopped with foot on brake in order to mimic the stopped and rolling back condition that the TSB corrects) RPMs in drive at normal operating temperature verses the cold idle which is typically higher when you start up in the morning. If the RPMs are the same then the TSB must change some other transmission setting to prevent rollback. These settings and how they operate are wwwwwwway beyond my knowledge of the transmission. I would just like to know if my MPG will change if I ask for the TSB to be applied to my one week old Edge since it also has the rollback condition.

Blue, PrinzII and anyone else who had the TSB applied to prevent rollback. Has your hot idle rpm changed? If it has not, then I would assume MPG may not change but I am far from understanding what is actually changed when the TSB is applied.

Akirby, do you know if the TSB.08-05-12 has a downside of decreasing the MPG since the fix to the rollback problem was previously denied based on fuel economy impacts

I have a 2008 SE so it does not have outside temperature as is on the automatic climate control system. I saw the Wayfinder V2020 Wireless Digital Vehicle Compass and Advanced Thermometer on ebay and got a refurbished one for $11 plus S&H. I will give it a try when it comes in and let you all know how it performs.

Now that I have my new 2008 Edge SE I want to add an outside temperature and compass gauge. Any suggestions for one that is wireless and battery operated? Has anyone tried the Wayfinder V2020 Wireless Digital Vehicle Compass and Advanced Thermometer?

I pulled the trigger today on the above new 2008 Edge SE. The final price was $24,213.21 plus TTL which is $62.21 over the Ford invoice price you supplied of $24,151 and is in the excellent range. The price includes the $1,900 in rebates. They actually listed the price as $24,114.21 and $99 dealer processing fee. I really don't care how they divide the charges since I negotiate the OTD price. That is why the final price is an odd number. Thanks again for your help in obtaining the true invoice price since that helped prevent me from running back and forth to different dealers to try to bargin for a piece of the $271 difference between the Edmunds invoice price and the actual Ford invoice price. With the true invoice price it was an easy back and forth negotiation with the Sales Manager. I also had a trade in for which the dealer gave me 4 times the price that carmax offered. All in all, I am very happy with the trade in deal, the excellent price of $62.21 over Ford invoice and my new Edge. Now I will need to figure out the Sync system.

bbf2530, does your information to the exact invoice price show any detail? Specifically, is the different between Edmund's invoice price and Ford's invoice price a fee or are the individual line items showing a difference. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the info but do you know why there is a $271 different between the invoice price in your reply which was $26,051 and the invoice price on Edmunds which is $25,780. I listed the Edmund results below. Price Information------------------------MSRP---------------Edmund's Invoice STANDARD VEHICLE PRICE------------$25,330.00--------$24,135.00 CONVENIENCE GROUP------------------$355.00------------$302.00 REAR CARGO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM-$65.00--------------$55.00 SYNC VOICE ACTIVATED SYSTEM----$395.00-------------$336.00 ROOF RAILS-BLACK--------------------$95.00---------------$81.00 SIRIUS SAT RADIO W/6 MOS SVC----$195.00-------------$166.00 TOTAL VEHICLE & OPTIONS------------$26,435.00---------$25,075.00 DESTINATION & DELIVERY-------------$705.00-------------$705.00 TOTAL MSRP-----------------------------$27,140.00----------$25,780.00

What would an excellent end of month price (not counting TTL) be for a 2008 Edge SE from Norris Ford zipcode 21222 VIN 2FMDK36C18BA25073 Thanks in advance for your assistance.
