Good for you not having any issues! I still have the pulling problem...would love the tsb# for parts being replaced. They've performed the 7-7-6 tsb# (no parts replaced) still pulls...drove a AWD/17" Tires for rental (mine fwd/18"Clad) and that edge did not pull one bit..got mine back drove on same roads and all it does is pull. I think more people are out there they just are listening to the dealers when they tell them it's the road crownage! BS! If it was the road crownage than the rental I had should have drove the same! I only get 16mpg, what's up with that?

I don't believe I ever mentioned Oct 12th - 15th in any of my posts! What are you on "07 MKX"????
-
Not sure what post you're reading....I did not get married between October 12th - 15th..thanks for the congrats anyway! And I am telling the whole story about the Edge I purchased September 18, 2007! And if the dealer actually perfromed the tsb maybe my edge wouldn't pull to the right. After the tsb, I had to take it to another dealer (they realigned toe from what my paperwork states) still pulled after that, so I take it back to the dealer who performed the tsb and the forman doesn't think it's pulling so they wouldn't even put it back on the alignment machine to check. So that's what I'm dealing with...the dealer won't even address my other issues about the rattle w/ bamr....they didn't hear any rattle so that was that. They tried to fix it three times...that's lemon law in NJ! I don't expect any sympathy from anyone, I thought this forum was a place peopel could voice there concerns? It's just frustrating! Maybe you should get your facts straight too.....Maybe the problem first came about in March (not w/ mine since I didn't purchase it until September) I would think it should be fixed the first time in not three times later and still not resolved!

I too have issues with my edge, bought it Sept. 18th! Go on the tsb alignment thread and you can read all about it. I also am having roof rattlels....my edge has been in the dealer 5 times..it's so frustrating! Keep on them about everything because they don't give a hoot about the consumer. I'm learning that first hand. Good Luck!

My Edge just starting making a whine noise too. Mine only does it when the ac is on, taking it in Monday for that and some other annoying issues...the drama never seems to end with my edge.
-
Oh, Ok use both feet! It shouldn't happen with an automatic....my taurus nor my husbands F150 and all the other cars I've owned never did that. Of course the Ford engineer says so so it must just be the way the car is made. My Bad!
-
My only suggestion is you test drive the heck out of the one you want. I love the edge but am having some pulling (right) problems. I bought it September 18th...it's been back 3 times for this problem and still not fixed. Just drive, drive, drive the one you're gonna by!

Thanks ontheedge! I wouldn't pay any mind to 07MKX or ClubwagaonXLT...they obviously have no issues with their Edge! I do and still am and I noticed my roof is making a rattling noise around the control area...I mentioned this last time it was at the dealer but they never checked it out. Also, it's making this clunking noise when you stop and you can actually hear the gas in the take swishing (spelling) around. Plus it's been rolling back when stopped at a light (incline) when you take your foot off the brake to accelerate it's starts rolling. I'm no mechanic but I would think a automatic wouldn't do that. Yes, Lawyers may be grubbing hungry folk but Ford leaves us poor souls with issues no other choice!

Will Do!

I never had the little screen come up when my BAMR is open. Design Flaw???? So, will they be fixing this design flaw?
-
No, it's not the bamr....it pulls with or without the window or bmar open. My Cousin said she can't drive with just her back windows down either (she has a durango). That really doesn't concern me as much as the pulling problem. The BAMR is awesome....I've had no problems with that...hope I didn't just jinx myself. I've taken it to two different dealers.....I'm done dealing with the ford dealers....I'm going to try our local mechanic (he's reliable + no BS with him) hopefully he can figure out what the HEdoublehockey sticks is going on. And if he does...I'll be taking it back to the dealer!

Good Morning GoodHands! Yes, the third time I went back to the Forman/Person who performed the fix (tsb#07-7-6) the second time asked to drive w/me but he wanted to drive. So we drive and he's slightly pullling the steering wheel to the left and was making comments like I don't normally drive with my hands off the wheel (I took offense to that comment I don't drive around with my hands off the wheel either but when you have to hold the wheel to the left. anyway, so then he lets go and it starts to drift and he says it's because of the road crowning. I was fuming at this point and told him I would be back when my tires wear wrong. then he says it must be the roads I drive on. I couldn't believe my ears...I guess he thought I was a dumb chick. Then we pull back at the dealer and he says well you can come back in if you want..well needless to say I didn't and left pissed off. So a few days later I had it back at the dealer I purchased from and the paperwork said realigned toe to specs. And now you know the rest.....STILL PULLING!!!!!! I would love to know about Hamman and how he made out the third time but doesn't seem like he's been on! It's just fustrating cause I really really love the car...especially the BAMR!!! The other thing is it's not just me as you can see from several people on this forum how can it be that only some have this problem and others don't...My car was built in August 07....My Husband said somebody wasn't paying attention on that day!! Very Funny..NOT! Sorry to rant on about it....thanks for listening and have a great day!

Hello All, (all that care to listen) Got the Edge back Friday and just as I suspected it's still pulling to the right. Drove all weekend and it's still pulling. I am so frustrated...had my cousins husband take it for a spin last night and he couldn't believe how bad it was and he said he started rolling back when he took his foot off the brake to hit the gas from a stop. He was on a incline....I noticed that myself too, it only happens when your on an incline so it seems. Anybody else having that experience? I am just at the end of my rope....my husband is looking into the lemon Law issue...It makes me sad we have to go this root but we've gotten no respect from Ford whatsoever, dealers, headquarters, none of them give a hoot about the consumer. Can someone explain to me why some edges are doing this (pulling) and some aren't, I don't understand if they are all coming off the same platform? I'm jealous of all you fellow edge owners that have no issues......!
