Let's be clear about this. If you order a vehicle in Canada you get the choice of factory incentives at the time or order or at the time of delivery - your choice. But it's a package deal - you can't pick and choose different incentives from different times. If you order a vehicle in the U.S. you get the incentives (from Ford) at the time you take delivery except for a few very specific early order rebates. If the dealer in the U.S. is guaranteeing you regular incentives then they're doing it out of their own pocket (potentially) because Ford will most certainly not do that. They're just betting that the factory incentives won't drop in the meantime.

No, Larry it doesn't. I should have been more clear - Apple would have to add this to a future version of iOS to enable it. The current version does not have it. Also - you accidentally created two identical topics so I closed the other one.

Not possible. The iPhone itself must support the proper bluetooth protocol which it does not. You'd need a new iOS upgrade that includes that bluetooth feature. Has nothing to do with the carrier or the vehicle.

If you mean the metal key that's just to open the door. Once the door is open you put the fob (without the key extended) in the slot in the center console and off you go.

Probably not with bluetooth - it's just an audio stream and sync doesn't know what's playing.

Ford uses a synthetic blend 5W-20 in the Edge and most other new vehicles. It's good for at least 7500 miles.

I understand your frustration and deal with the same issues you deal with but I don't think that type of comment is necessary here.

You have to figure out how to tell the phone to use the bluetooth output for audio instead of the built-in speakers.

You have to put in this really strange place called "your pocket" or "your purse". Seriously - that's the whole idea. Put in your pocket and forget about it.

It simply verifies the version of your installed Sync system and reports it back to syncmyride. Nothing more, nothing less.

Probably the COP. Easy fix.

Reasonably sure the coding was done here, just with contractors rather than employees.

Oops - forgot about that. No, it's not an option. Must have been some other issue.

Contractors. Interns probably could have done a better job.

The SD card is Ford specific and must be activated in the vehicle.

So what's the choice? You either keep the vehicle and trust that Ford will fix the problems or you get rid of it. Or you can pitch a fit on an internet forum which doesn't do anything or help anybody.

Perhaps the majority of owners simply aren't having any of the issues that you've encountered and that's why they're happy.

Either dealers are using old seal kits or their mechanics aren't using the proper procedure. Or both.

If you're really worried about long oil life just send off a sample every 3 months for testing - they'll tell you if it needs to be changed or not and you won't risk damaging your engine. My guess is you can easily go 10K miles or longer with the factory synthetic blend with absolutely no problems under normal usage.

Probably a Windows Phone 7. Wilson said it worked for him while he had the phone briefly.

Contractors

That was pretty much the consensus - it was possible but Ford had not yet chosen to offer that option through dealers yet.

I do not expect any vehicle I purchase to ever be 100% defect free regardless of how much I spend. I do expect that the problems are fixed promptly and correctly and that there aren't too many of them and they don't repeat over and over. Expecting 100% perfection from any consumer product is simply asking to be disappointed. Thinking that you'll actually get it from Honda or Toyota is fallacy. But whatever makes you happy........

Angela - that is only true in Canada, not the U.S. In the U.S. you only get whatever is in place at the time you take delivery unless there is a special offer for ordering early, etc. This comes from Ford and the dealer has no say in it.

Used car dealers don't know everything that's wrong with the car or what is about to break when they sell it. That's why they sell warranties. If you choose to buy it without a warranty AND you choose NOT to have it checked out by a mechanic prior to purchase then this one is squarely on YOUR shoulders, not the dealer. If the dealer was willing to "stand behind it" then they would have offered a 30 day warranty. And you would have paid extra for that. I don't see where the dealer did anything wrong here.
