  1. Has anyone tried to install HIR1 or HIR2 bulbs in their Edge? I have a 2007 Edge SEL and would like to improve the output of the lead lamps but HID's are to much trouble. I know that the HIR's would have to be modified to fit but I am worried the bulb may be to long and hit the reflector shield. Any info on this will be appreciated.

    Tranny

    I think this has been mentioned before. Three times since owning a 2007 Edge when starting of from a standstill after starting the engine the tranny is in a higher gear (maybe 3,4,or5). I stop and restart engine and shift into DR the tranny clunks into gear and then everything is ok. This has nappenned 3 times in 32000 miles. Of course the dealer states everthing is ok. My warranty is up next month.
  3. I have Conti's on my 2007 Edge with 30,000 miles. The tires have plenty of tread left but they are very noisy and getting worse day by day. I would never buy these tires. Only way to go is Michlin LT's
  4. I have 23000 on my 2007 Edge. The Continental tires are getting noisy (road noise). Plenty of tread left but will probably replace with Michilin Latitudes soon.

    Transmission

    My Edge has just under 11,000 miles and to early for transmission oilchange. The problem appears to be tempurature related. It is more noticeable when temp is 90 or more. The dealer tried to set the tranny "learn" feature back to default but it had no luck.
  6. My 2007 Edge FWD will not shift into 6th gear until speed reaches around 60 MPH. (under slow Acceleration). This occurs after vehicle has been driven for 20 minutes or so in hot weather and then parked for a while and then back onto highway again. (always hot in SW Florida). The dealers diagnostic test showed no error codes, therefor no problem even tho tech witnessed problem. The tech called the Ford hotline and they claimed this was normal. Anyone in the forum having this problem?
  7. I have been buying my gas at Costco here in Naples, FL. A few months ago there gas pumps started advetising 10% ethanol. My gas mileage dropped form 19 to 17 around town with some highway mixed in. Ethanol is for the birds but the tree huggers love it. I am going to try Shell or Mobile and check the difference. Also the on board gas computer is not accurate and tends to inflate the mileage. The only accurate method is to divide actual gas usage into actual mileage.

    MPG??????

    I have a 2007 Edge, 2 wheel, 18 inch tires and no sunroof. Here in FL most driving is done with a/c on. Have been gettin 18-19 mixed driving and on a 3400 mile trip (Boston & back) I averaged 23-24. Speed up to 80 at times but mostly 70-75 This was in December so no a/c. Lately the mileage has dropped 1-2 miles per gallon. It could be a change in "summer blended" gas. I buy most gas at Costco. Also have noticd the transmission shift points have changed and does not always shift into 6th gear. Ford states this is temperature related which I think is bull. Will be going back to dealer again soon. Costco and Sams have signs on there pump that read 10% Ethanol added to gas. I know this also lowers mileage.
  9. My 2007 edge has banged into 2nd gear when accelerating away from traffic light after easing up on the pedal and then hitting the gas pedal again. This has only happened once. Also have tranny slipping when shifting from 5th to 6th gear. The rpm increases 500 rpm and then drops back to mormal after a second or two. This started at 6000 miles and now have 9000 miles on the Edge. Will be taking to dealer in a week or so.
  10. 2007 Edge Sel+ FWD with 7000 miles. Transmission slips when shifting from 5th to 6th gear. The RPM's increase 500 RPM and then drop back to normal. The slippage lasts 1-2 seconds. This problem appears to be getting worse as time goes on. Anyone else had or having this problem. After a few more weeks I will be taking Edge back to dealer.

    MPG??????

    2007 Edge SEL+ FWD 7000 miles. Average for city driving is 18 MPG. Highway average is 23 MPG. The computer mileage is about 1 1/2 MPG higher which is of course erronious. This mileage is much better than my previous 2004 Durango.
  12. My last two vehicles had tinted glass and the MFJ Dual Band antenna worked fine. I don't believe the tinted windows in the newer vehicles contain any metal compounds. I mounted the antenna on the drivers side rear (small) window. The transceiver is under the rear seat and the control head is mounted in the cubby hole behind the shift lever. The radio is wired back to the power module (cigar lighter plug) in the rear of vehicle. It would be better to run the wires direct to battery which I will do some day. Good luck with your installation 73
