I got a similar message today on my FordPass app stating the 19B11 field service action. It also says a FSA Title of "HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAM"

FYI Mine was built 10/22/18. Driven 1535 miles so far. No leaks....yet!

You can get a screen similar to this picture by shutting off the audio system by pushing on the volume dial. Once you shut it down, the heated steering wheel icon is displayed to turn on or off. Not as convenient as the prior 2015-2018 versions, but is a different way to get to it.

Congrats, you'll love the twistys in that thing!!

Hello everyone, I wanted to share some facts and opinions about my first 1200 miles on my new 2019 Ford Edge ST. I had a prior 2016 Edge Sport that I enjoyed very much. It had a little over 46,000 miles on it before I traded it in for the ST. I wasn't considering purchasing a 2019 at first but after seeing one in person and striking a good enough deal, I ended up getting one in inventory that had all the features I would want. My review will be mixed with comparisons with the '16 Sport and other findings. The ST has a tighter feel to it on the road compared to the '16 Sport. I have the 20" wheels/ all season tires that I wanted for everyday driving through New England weather. Although it feels stiffer over bumps, it won't rattle your brain like a sports car. The reward for this is more control through turns and steering response. ( Also less body lean and front end diving with braking) Acceleration at first was OK, but improved with more miles. I like the addition of a turbo boost gauge on the ST to see how much boost I'm getting at times. After burning up the dealer's full tank of whatever they used, I filled up with 93 octane. Within the first 300 miles I would only get to 12.5psi. After about 500 miles I could get about 15psi on the gauge. After 800 miles it allowed 16psi. After 1000 miles I got up to 17psi. The ST owner's manual states up to 21psi is available depending on octane and conditions. "SAE Certified Performance ratings are achieved with 19.5 psi, but up to 21 psi can be delivered to maximize power depending on fuel quality and atmospheric conditions." Once I went past the first 1000 mile break in point, I decided to do a quarter mile run with my personal timer I have on a deserted roadway I used as well for my prior '16 Sport. I ran the exact stretch of road and a fairly similar outside temperature. The results are as follows: 2016 Edge Sport 14.1 seconds at 101mph 2019 Edge ST 13.7 seconds at 106mph This is a slight downhill roadway so it won't be exact to a real track. This is just to show the improvement between the two. These were single runs with no brake torqueing, leaving it in auto but in Sport mode, no paddle shifting, 93 octane fuel. I'm not surprised with the results since Ford advertises a HP/ TQ gain for the ST. Everyday driving by the seat of the pants will reveal the difference as well. As far as exhaust sound in Sport mode, I don't think it sounds that artificial. (It doesn't sound like a Mustang GT though) Cold startup is not too loud either for those concerned about annoying the neighbors in the morning. It has a more low hum bass tone compared to the '16 Sport. Exhaust tone in non Sport mode is mellowed out. I drive in Sport mode 99% of the time unless I'm carrying non sporting passengers. Braking feels good enough for me, nothing else to say on them for street usage. Steering feels direct and heavy enough at all speeds. Exterior: I think the front end is more sporty with a blunt-nose. It just appears a little higher to me in person. The rear end is much better than my 16 Sport. The taillights and mid section appear less busy and more aggressive. I really like the slight shelf Ford used just below the rear window. It really makes a visual difference in person to the back. The bottom half is also nice to me. It has a more European/ German look to it. The rear reflector light design is nice in person too. It seems like a lot of manufacturers are using this look. Overall the rear looks more refined. The side of the vehicle doesn't need mentioning as we know. The 20" wheels are OK if you want less bling than the prior generation Sport 20" wheels. They are mostly black looking with a machined aluminum spoke that appears clear coated. I was able to use my prior wheel lock nuts on the ST. The new towing package is a nice addition. My prior Sport couldn't be optioned with one from Ford. I might use it to tow my Harley or my girlfriend's horse. If you need to use foot motion to open the rear tailgate, you have to move your foot front to back in the area between the tow hitch and exhaust tips. Interior: The seating is comfortable with a little more surrounding support. I don't have much else to say about them yet. The newer perforated steering wheel is great. (Will be a plus for track duty for sweaty hands or gloves if needed) I don't like the rotary dial for gear selection. I am used to gear shifting with a lever, so at times I go blank when I need to go from reverse to drive or park. The result is a more open look to that area. A vertical smart phone holder is in this area now for those who like that sort of thing. I also like the wireless cell phone charger up ahead from there in the storage compartment. My phone gets really hot though from using that space. The B/O sound system is a great sounding system. I liked the Sony system before, but I can hear and feel more low bass sounds compared to the Sony version even at low volumes. I am very happy with the new sound system. The WIFI hotspot works as advertised. I like the Ford Pass link for remote starting, etc. I've used it many times with success. Sync 3 has worked fine so far. My ST with the 401A pkg included a sunroof that I can care less about. The shade makes a buffeting noise when fully closed when going over certain bumps. The one way to alleviate this it to open it up a bit. I don't think I'll like that during the heat of Summer though. I'll have to turn up the music! Technology: This vehicle is a technological achievement. I've tried some of them with great results. I used to scoff at all the driving aids and safety features coming out on newer vehicles. Now that I have them, why not embrace them? I admit it takes away a little of your responsibility, but not all of it. I won't go into detail on each one here, but I applaud Ford for a job well done! Conclusions: At first I thought I would wait until a major design change for this generation Edge to buy a newer one. After realizing it won't be too soon, I decided to move on to this ST. For anyone who is waiting for their orders, it will be worth the wait. Hang in there! For anyone who is still skeptical, please try to see one in person and test drive it. I think you are getting a lot of vehicle for the price when you compare. Thanks for reading this review. Feel free to ask me questions or private message me.

Will customers be contacted by email or some other method when future revisions are made to software or do they need to constantly check with your company to find out if revisions were made? ps. Thanks for taking the time to clarify things here.

The 2015-2018 Edge Sport dyno graph on their website shows a different version with less outputs. Draw your own conclusions...

Hey Blitz, I have the 2019 ST with the 401A pkg and it does not include the adaptive LED headlamps according to my window sticker or my vehicle settings menu within the "lighting" options. I have my exterior lights set to auto mode and they don't move side to side against a garage door at night. What you mention as subtle movement turning the wheel at a stop is actually the front end of the Edge moving as you turn the wheel. It would help us here on this message board if you could post a picture of your vehicle settings displaying the adaptive lighting feature option being able to choose "on or off". If your vehicle shows this option under settings, I can show my dealership what I should have. Thanks for your help!

Congratulations on your new Edge ST. You'll love it once you get some miles on it. 1. My ST does not have the Adaptive LED headlights either. The window sticker says: Headlamps-Auto Bi-LED, Headlamps-Auto high-beam, Headlamps-Wiper activated If it were installed, you would see the option to turn them on or off in vehicle settings within the lighting section. Refer to pages 84-85 and page 107 in the owner's manual. For those who wonder if there's a self test at startup, there is. You also need to have your exterior lights switched to auto headlight mode on the dash. 2. Check to see if food or soda got wedged between the buttons. Can you get an air can to blow out anything in there? Toothpick? 3. The owner's manual suggests driving 1000 miles before towing. Mentions to avoid driving too fast during the first 1000 miles. Vary your speed and change up through the gears early. Do not labor the engine. Also states to break in the tires for 300 miles. See page 254 in the manual.

Congrats, Enjoy! Let us know your likes and not-likes after you drive it awhile. You are correct, shop around. There are deals out there if you take the time...

Yeah, I like mine on that setting too.

Congrats, You have to move your foot forward and back ( to the right or left of the trailer hitch), not side to side!

I have over 14000 miles on my 16 Sport and the adaptive steering set to Sport since new. I haven't had a warning light yet or problems with my steering. I won't change it back to Normal to see if I do get the warning light though. If Ford issues a mandatory upgraded part for this problem, then I will look into it once it's available. Good luck and be safe everyone.

My Edge was built after the effected dates and the back portions do not cool at all. I drove a late 2015 Edge and a different 2016 Edge built in January and they both did not cool the back portions. I have not come across any Ford employee with knowledge of vehicle operations (sales/service manager/technician/Ford customer service direct) to state the back portions are meant to cool, regardless of whatever parts are installed in the seat backs.

akirby: Does your 2016 MKX cooled seats cool at the backs or just the bottoms?
