SELAWD2011

Went to dealer. As you said it was the caliper. Caliper slider actually and it was convered by warranty. :-)

Went to dealer today. Looks like Im still covered under warranty. They will change the latch :-) ... next week they didnt have part in stock :-(

So what kind of cleaner do u suggest?

Thank you for the quick help. Ive seen some edges with really nice looking brake systems... would this just be caliper covers (link)?

Hi Guys, My rear driver's side brake has been seizing lately. Its happened twice so far over the past few weeks and both times it left a strong burnt rubber smell 1st time I thought the car was gonna catch fire hehehe. I took an appointment with the dealer for this Thurs June 12 but I was hoping you would have some advice on the matter before I went in? - Would this be a caliper problem or a "brake fluid hose" issue. I heard a pin-hole leak on the hose can cause the break to seize.. How can one tell the difference? - If its the caliper's, would that be covered under the warranty. I've read that the caliper slider is covered - I bought my edge in Aug 2011 (so under 36 months) and have 53.5K on it. - If I have to replace it, should I go with OEM or performance? Any suggestions on parts? Thanks for your help, Rob

Any suggestions on this. I lost the light on 1 button

So... no clean up then. Cuz I heard in previous models the roof would jam and then would not close entirely. Due to gunk build up and forcing motors out of sync. Here is a video of a guy showing how to fix it when it jams Looking at the amount of work he did I thought Id avoid it by keeping my tracks cleaned.. BUT if no one has done this and everything is good then I wont mess with it. Don't want to stir things up when there is no need.

Hello! I own a 2011 SEL AWD with Vista Sunroof. Bought it brand new and have had it for 2 years. Now Ive heard its important to take care and maintain the Sunroof. Mine is still working fine but when closing I can see and hear the motor forcing the last 6-7 inches. I was wondering if any of you had tips on maintenance, i.e. if and how I should clean, remove old grease and re-grease the tracks? Thanks RL

Hi I'm up in Canada and I'm about (anxious) to switch back from steelies to mags. I want to do it myself but I had two questions: 1- TPS Sensor: Do these need to be reprogrammed or will the system simply recognize that they are back on now? 2- Torque wrench My buddy has all the tools required, including a torque wrench which he says is required to secure the mags back in place. Is this true? and if so... does anyone know what the presure needs to be (he claims 50 lbs). Thanks

I got the same letter too saying I woud be receiving something by the mail BUT... when I called the dealer they said they would be the ones calling us to schedule new update???

Has anyone tried/heard of Cooper Artic Claw or Cooper WSC. I found the Artic Claw for a low price 172.50$ tax in. However the guy only has them in 235/65/18. Is it ok to go narrower Will it impact the drive in any way? Lastly, Im not planning on purchasing the tire sensors for the winter steel wheels. Does this impact any of the electronics of the car or will it be fine.

I was told to go with Pirelli Scorpion. The price difference was but 8$ a tire. Has anyone tried these?

Do you know if by going narrower I would need to get a new set of rims?

Hi canadianzed, I too live in Canada. I drive a SEL AWD and I was wondering if you went with the BFGs.

Also... did you push the LEDs in entirely... I was able to get all 6 leds to light up by only pushing them in only enough... however... Im wondering if it really is enough so that they dont pop out...

WOW!!! THANKS FOR THE PROMPT REPLY!!! I really appreciate it!!!

Hi. I did as directed. I flipped the left side casing over (drivers side) and made the little wedge. however.. If I dont flip the leff side casing over then both lights point the same direction...When I flip the casing the left side LED points outwards (towards the street) and the right side LED points inwards (towards the plate). Im not sure how you placed the leds so that the light distribution is balanced. I took some pics of my results

I bought my SEL AWD 2011 this month. It has the leather interior, vista roof, keyless entry and sync package... BUT... NOT THE AMBIENT LIGHTING!!! Apparently I didnt specify it... I just thought it came with the sync/nav system... Anyway... I was wondering if anyone had the ambient lighting done after purchase... if its possible, how much would it cost AND... does the mytouch system reconize it afterwards too...

both my shade and sun roof open ok but when flick the auto close switch it always stops 6" from the end and i then have to hold te close switch the rest of the way... Im reading your thread and hope this is normal and not a sign of things to come. I asked my dealer and hesaid it isa security feature to not pinch anyone if the accidently hit the button

@:cal3thousand What did you use for the front lights? Was it easy to install?

Thanks for the tip! I hope to get mines in a few week and wikl post the pics

By the way... I also had a scratch on my rear passenger side door handle... any ideas on how to fix this...

Thanks for the replies... I've attached a picture of the chip. I called them and had them agree to repaint the panel... but seeing you replies and the 400Km drive (2-way) it would require for me to get it to the dealer to fix it I got them to exchange "the chip repair" and throw in the vinyl cargo cover and all seaon mats. here is a picture of the chip.

By the way.. here is the new vleds discount code : OMT15... expires this week however
