Does the Edge have auto lock?
akirby replied to tknice's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Until you accidentally leave your keys in the car, then you might regret that feature. At least the IKT makes it easier to lock. -
I think if this was an isolated incident and they weren't already swamped with problems then they would probably be more attentive. I work in IT also and I know if I had a bug list of 1500 things to work on including severity 1 problems and I had customers reporting similar problems I would probably ignore them also in an attempt to get as many of the know problems fixed as soon as possible. I think it's also very likely that your problem is already known and is just waiting for a fix. You also have to understand that Ford isn't a software company so all this is probably new for them. They're not used to having serious software problems like this. And even though you did pay $40K, the rest of the vehicle works so it's really just a $1500 part that's not working right, not the whole thing. If it wasn't driveable then the $40K analogy would be more appropriate. I'm not trying to tell you that you shouldn't be frustrated or that you shouldn't blame Ford - this is obviously a major screwup on their part. Just trying to keep it all in perspective.

And like I said, don't post questions if you don't want correct answers. I'm done if you are.

I believe all Edges use the same 6F50 transmission including the sport.
-
Thank you.....
-
There is no such thing as an incorrect opinion. I've never argued with anyone who states their opinion. Only those who state their opinions as if they are facts when they're wrong. You're the one blaming Ford for problems caused by the cell phone mfrs and saying Ford was guilty of false advertising when clearly they were not. You and nextime seem to have a lot in common......
-
You asked a simple question - why would they put buttons on the phone that don't work - and I gave you the correct answer which Waldo confirmed. bbf2530 also gave you the correct answer about phone kits which Waldo also confirmed. They would have been very useful if you had listened. You're the one who chose not to believe either answer and proceeded to attack both of us. And now you're calling me a post whore? Instead of attacking, try apologizing and saying thank you for the information. But you won't because that's just not how you operate, is it? Personally, I have no use for people who ask questions and then attack the people who try to answer them just because they don't like the answers.

Transparency? What more would any other company tell you about a defect in their product except that it's a known problem and they're working diligently to fix it? If they have a list of 1500 things to fix, which I don't doubt - this is complicated software written by a car company - then they're spending all their time working on fixes - probably around the clock or close to it - and they don't have time to talk to every customer that calls in with a problem. I'm not really sure what more you're expecting other than a nice personalized response just to make you feel better. It certainly won't get the problems fixed any sooner. Now if this was a rare problem and they weren't already swamped with bug fixes then it might be a different story.

In other words.........no. Nextime you have a question try not to attack the people trying to help you.

The answer is no. Have a nice day.

Questions About Adding Homelink to Sport
akirby replied to hunter4814's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
This is one time I'm not happy to be right. But I was afraid that was the case. As for the plug-n-play I've know people that have done it on other Ford vehicles. I bought a cheap maxima homelink visor from ebay for $50 and added it to my visor. Works great - just wired it into the vanity lights which are always hot. But I couldn't figure out how to get the fabric all the way off so I cut it and it looks terrible. I need to get a replacement and try again. -
Questions About Adding Homelink to Sport
akirby replied to hunter4814's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
I'm a little leary of that price. The regular visor without Homelink is almost that much. Last time I checked a visor with homelink was over $300. Let us know if you actually get one for $100. -
Wait for them to fix it and make sure it's a perfect repair.
-
And once again no good deed goes unpunished. If you're not going to accept the answers then don't ask the questions.
-
Because it's easier to make them all the same.
-
You definitely can't do it yourself. You'll have to step up to a SEL for about $3K, which isn't much more than you'd have to spend to add it yourself plus you get a lot of other upgrades. If you want MyTouch just bite the bullet and get the SEL.

I'm not a detailer but that's an easy one. A clay bar removes things that are embedded in the paint like rail dust, etc. It lifts out the debris. Rubbing or polishing compound is an abrasive that actually removes a thin layer of paint leaving a smooth and polished surface.
-
The horizontal door just pulls open - I think there's a tab on the left side. I think the door itself is only an inch or so high, but it's been awhile since I did mine.

Ask A Professional Detailer?
akirby replied to CanuckG35's topic in Appearance - Detailing, Wash & Wax
If it's a deep scratch then you'll have to fill it. The paint pens from paintscratch.com work well. If it's a very light scratch you might be able to rub it out with rubbing compound (clearcoat safe) but be careful. -
Is the Jukebox a myth on 2011 MyFord?
akirby replied to DistortedEdge's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
The difference is they switched from a hard drive based Nav to SD card based - that's what eliminated the jukebox because it was a partition on the Nav hard drive. No hard drive no jukebox. -
They just announced the 2.0 EB won't debut until the 2012 model which should be out next spring or summer.
-
It's the truth. Why do you keep defending them?
-
Of course they did. I don't think anyone is denying that. But having a product with bugs is not the same as false advertising.
-
I was talking about specific features that work with some cell phones but not with others - like reading text messages. There is obviously something wrong with the 2011 MFT and Ford is working on it. That's a different issue.
