New Job 1 date is 11/15.

Correct

No - you don’t get a build date until the vehicle is scheduled and that may not happen for weeks depending on commodity restrictions, your order priority and what else your dealer has on order. Make sure your order is priority 10 - that’s the best (lower is better).

60k-80k is pretty common.

Lane keep

Replace the gas cap. Replace the fan assembly with Motorcraft parts. There should be a topic or two on that or check for MACT Ford Edge YouTube videos.

The only code I know of is the code from the VIN position 8 which in this case should be “9”. What is it used for?

It’s a 2.0L ecoboost gtdi engine if that’s what you’re asking.

Yes, Ford does do AWAs - after warranty adjustment. But it’s done in conjunction with the dealer. I don’t agree that it’s the mfrs responsibility to fix anything out of warranty, especially when you have the opportunity to purchase an extended warranty. When you buy something you know exactly what the mfr covers and you choose whether to buy extra coverage. I do think mfrs SHOULD extend the warranty for these types of problems as a matter of good customer service. I just don’t think they are obligated to do so.

They are taking responsibility by fixing the problem under warranty and with a new block design. What they’re not doing is extending the warranty to cover failures that happen after the 5 yr/60K powertrain warranty. However, you also had the option to purchase an extended warranty and chose not to.

Should be, yes.

The order guide says they’re included on the 401a package.

Check the oil and coolant and make sure they do a full compression test to check for coolant leaks.

All true but it depends a lot on how you drive. My wife would never notice a difference.

Comet cleanser or barkeepers friend is also good on glass.

New York - maybe. Boston? Hopeless.

Stop mumbling! ?

Voice control is still easier and faster. I don’t understand why people don’t like it.

Replace the outside temp sensor. It’s usually near the front grille.

It may be a moot point going forward as some vehicles are beginning to have separate passenger screens. That’s the safe way to do it.

If you have an iPod why aren’t you using that? Or an iPhone?

Easy repair for a body shop. Ford sells replacement pieces and the body shop will cut out just the part that is rusted and weld it back in. Here is a similar repair by bluecollarkyle - he has tons of repair videos on Facebook and YouTube.

I use iTunes export (freeware program not the iTunes built in function) with iTunes on windows. It exports the music to the thumb drive along with playlists.

You have to replace the APIM, screen, USB ports and all the wiring. Kits are $600 - $1500. If you simply Google sync 2 to sync 3 you’ll find tons of kits and videos so you can decide for yourself.

Why keep something that’s only used by a few people? That’s why they got rid of the CD player. It’s too easy to use a usb drive or a phone.
