Shifting into neutral defeats the fuel cutoff. Waldo explained it above.

You don't need a larger mirror - you just need to adjust yours better and you won't have any blind spots. You should also always glance over your shoulder no matter what as a safety precaution.

Unless it's an older card where the owner has already upgraded and doesn't need the old one. Otherwise, you're 100% right. That's the point I was trying to make - I can buy bootleg software for pennies on the dollar, but that doesn't mean it's legal.

They've had this problem before. I don't think it has anything to do with the vehicle itself - I think it's the ordering software.

I forgot about ADFSO.

Edge and Flex are completely different platforms so it's hard to say.

Could have been worse.

Clean it really well, use a wire brush to get most of it off and then hit it with some rust converter coating.

Note that the generic brands like Dorman have not worked for some people. I used a Dorman and it worked fine but we traded the vehicle soon after. Others have not gotten them to work at all and ended up buying the motorcraft version.

You have to replace the fans and controller module. Very common problem. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12731-radiator-fan-assembly-replacement-procedure/page-4?hl=%20cooling%20%20fan Post 62 has a video.

At one time it was only available to "select" Ford dealers, whatever that means. It was not limited to Lincoln dealers.

There is something called the incentive protection program that gives you the option of the incentives at order time or at delivery. It's always available in Canada but only seems to be available at some US dealers. But it is possible.

And you had it in D, not S?

So it never occurred to you to replace the battery?

It's normal. I think it only engages if you're using cruise control or you tap the brake.

Holdback is only 3% so $1200 on a $40k vehicle. They might get a bit more back in bonuses, etc. they also add the doc fee which is 100% profit and car run $700 or more.

I've read about at least a dozen bad fans - never a bad pcm signal.

Look for autom8r's topic on cooling fan replacement. The fan assembly includes the fans and controller. Beware aftermarket parts - sometimes they don't work.

It's called the placebo effect......

I don't think you can definitely say it's the right side, but hopefully it's the same part on both sides. Probably a wiring/connector issue. I would check both the front sensors for a loose connector or wiring damage.

It's no problem to get an Edge factory ordered for $0 - $500 over dealer invoice. Nobody is getting MSRP. And warranties can be purchased for $1200-$1500 not $2000.

Better yet a fully configurable single larger center screen where you can customize it any way you want.

Trust Waldo when he says he has it on good authority. He's not making up anything.

If you have problems that your dealer says can be fixed by upgrading the APIM software or replacing the APIM it's covered. Or if you need assistance loading software in Canada.

Seems clear to me - it's 5 years from the warranty start date and includes APIM replacement and software updates.
