I don't keep up much with the electronics scene, as it is a dazzling array of wonders But Pioneer has always offered good head units, so I would look through their offerings at crutchfield.com (a bit expensive, but they provide great advice and free install kits) to see what you want to get.

If they are competent, it should not be a problem. They would run the solvent through, allow it to "desludge", then drain it all out, fill it up, then repeat the drain/fill a couple of times more, with driving short distances in between. That SHOULD nullify any worries about remaining solvent. I don't know if you can dry out kerosene or not, but that would be nifty. There ARE organic solvents that evaporate on their own, and are used to clean out electronics.

Interesting. The union seems to think it will resolve "peacefully".

Test 1/2 hr after everything is turned off and all plugin electronics are disconnected. If the parasitic draw is still 1 AMP and you don't see any obvious issues like the CD clicking or weird things with the electronics (no aftermarket stuff, right?), the BCM would be a prime culprit. 0.2 AMP is not an issue. And yes, the BCM affects a lot of different parts.

You shouldn't have to adjust alignment going from summer to winter tires IF alignment has not changed. But the only way to know that is to DO the alignment, which is always a good investment. Because, at the same time, you can inspect the tires for sufficient tread, abnormalities in tread, bulges in the sidewall, etc. and the tire/wheel for being properly balanced. Any of these items can crop up at any time. Also, tires have a finite lifespan, usually 6-7 years in "normal" US climate. Don't know what it would be out in your area, but unless tires are stored in climate-controlled conditions, likely shorter. 5 seasons MAY be at or near the end for the HKPLs. (BTW, I wish I could easily get Nokians in MY area ) So you may want to consider getting a new set of winter tires next season. But definitely get an alignment and wheel balancing done now, along with wheel/tire inspection. That would be my strategy. Then decide if there is more to do.

Well ... A faulty BCM module comes to mind as a possibility also. 1 amp draw is still too high. Did you wait at least 1/2 hr or more after turning everything off to test? It takes modules some time to go to sleep.

Welcome, Jeff. I am sure a lot of the problems stemmed from your Edge being a first year refresh. Did you have to pay for any of these repairs out of pocket? That would be expensive.

If the CD changer keeps shuffling/skipping on its' own, you will need to fix that issue before the battery issue goes away. Usually means installation of a new/different head unit.

When was an alignment done last? Wheels will rarely point straight up when properly aligned because it would be an unpleasant experience taking sharp turns, leading to possible tipover. You are correct, the Edge is designed to pull slightly to the right, just like the headlights are aimed slightly to the right. This is for safety reasons so the car does not drift into or shine light into oncoming traffic. While I have never experienced the pull with tires, conditions may be different in your country. What tires do you run in the summer, and which ones in winter? Are the winter tires new or have you used them in previous years? Winter tires are a different compound, so they may be exposing a bias in the car that the summer tires are covering up. Has the Edge been in any accidents lately? Is the steering wheel in the correct position when the wheels are pointed straight ahead?

Well, that's NOT good! Was it a daytime event?

If there was one thing I had to get used to it was the curvature of the new Edge. With my 07, I basically know it's almost slabsided, so the edge of the road/pavement visually meet exactly where the outside edge of the tires are. So I can park very very close to the edge with practically no overhang. On the Gen 2, I was initially always 4-6 inches off ...

It is also more likely that one will get a large repair done when having warranty coverage, rather than stretch it out and trade it in prior to having to do the repair. Definitely all time horizon dependent, what you want to do with the vehicle past the B2B warranty.

Livernois works very closely with Ford, and I doubt they will put anything in a tune that would jeopardize the warranty. They will tell you the expected maintenance to go with the tune. IF they step outside these parameters, most certainly you will be signing some sort of release clause paperwork at the same time. They are a big shop and don't want their reputation tarnished.

Some WOT romps are good for the Ecoboost engines. It will keep the carboning issue down. Also a yearly program of GDI induction services, as these have gotten better and more effective. Good finishing touch.

Spent a very short time with a rental Gen 2, no issues with sightlines at all. Did not use the RVC either really.

A rare opportunity, folks! I know a bunch of you have been in the hunt, here's your chance!

There is a TSB on this issue that outlines the parts and procedure. You can search on the part numbers on eBay or levittownfordsupercenter.com to get the best pricing. http://www.revbase.com/BBBMotor/TSb/DownloadPdf?id=151420 I suggest you contact Benny at Levittown for the best info on the needed parts since yours is a 2012. The TSB does not officially apply to that MY. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/10937-employee-pricing-on-all-parts-accessories/?view=getnewpost

Yes on the Ecoboost equipped engines.

I like the 2.0 because of the Klingon ridges on the hood LOL.

Ok so you have AWD, good to know. Did you check the transmission fluid with the engine running, parked on level ground, etc. as specified in the owners manual? Will not work if the engine is off. The PTU can leak, but so can the seal between the trand and the PTU, which can cause a mixture of trans and PTU fluids to escape. That could also lead to that smell. The leak might be slow and evaporating on the trans/ptu case. At this point, the trans AND ptu fluids would be suspect IMHO. At least will need to have the seals looked at by a pro.

Is there any clicking sound when the headlights are switched from high beam to low beam and vice versa? The hi/lo is implemented via shutters in the headlights, and these shutters are known to get stuck/inoperative. I hope that is not the case, as changing out the MFS omar mentioned is SO MUCH easier and cheaper.

Power Transfer Unit, also known as the Power Take Off unit. It is the front differential in an AWD system that decides when and how to spread out power between all 4 wheels. The Edge is a Front Wheel Drive (FWD) system most of the time, and the AWD only comes into play as needed. The PTU has a vent to allow for the expansion of the PTU fluid, and in some cases, when the fluid expands too much, it escapes out this vent. The fluid gives off an odor of propane gas, kind of a signature smell. This usually leads to PTU replacement if confirmed, under official Ford policy, as they do not R&R the fluid.

Propane smell is more associated with the PTU on an AWD vehicle than anything else, assuming the cabin filter is clean.

I understand, and hence why I said "progression"
