  1. There is actually a TSB 11-5-6 for a similar condition, you may want to peruse it to see if it matches the description: 6F50/6F55 TRANSMISSION - SLUGGISH ACCELERATION FROM 0-8 KM\H (0-5 MPH) FOLLOWED BY A HARSH BUMP OR A SLIP ON TAKE-OFF FOLLOWED BY A BUMP - BUILT ON OR BEFORE 4/15/2011 TSBID: 176597 Mfg Num: 11-12-10 Issue Date: 2011-12-19 There is also a TSB for a cracking/snapping sound on turns caused by the chrome clad wheels. tsb11-05-06 Sluggish acceleration from stop or low speed followed by bump.pdf
  2. Do I feel another Mercy Girl Production coming up?
  3. In addition, the % is based not only on miles but the "driving style" during those miles, including length of journey, number of stop/starts, idling, etc. So you won't get the same percentage for every driver based purely on miles. Though 35% does seem low for 1200 miles, unless you are doing door to door taxi service
  4. Welcome to the forum, nice lookin' Edge with two great mods

    Good luck with the new job and move, J0J0!
  6. Time to try your luck with FordService? It helped mac get the APIM replaced on his 2011, might on yours too.
  7. As a side note, on the GDI EB engines, if you notice soot regularly building up on the tailpipes, one solution that seems to work is to mix your regular gasoline with a wee shot of E85. Bumping it up to E15 (max) with E85 from E10 base gasoline has provided anecdotal proof that it works. If you monitor Knock Retard, and are experiencing positive numbers, a shot of E85 can help bring them back down to 0 or negative.
  8. Probably have a 30 day b2b courtesy of the selling dealership, common practice. If so, I'd take full advantage and report every complaint now.
  9. Very common problem on the Edge. Using lower power LEDs and/or replacing the socket are solutions tried & true. Lexus, part deux?
  10. I don't mind them burning up GMO corn though.
  11. CPO? Under original B2B warranty? May just be low on ptu fluid or need a fluid change. There has been at least 1 instance of new driveshaft bearings being needed also.
  12. Ok, not E85, then how about a hydrogen fuel cell, from FORD!!! In 2008!!!
  13. Great camera work, detail & explanation A fun watch for me Very good point about using new hardware (bolts) especially if you are the DIY type.
  14. What was your gas cap replacement brand? OEM or ... Here's an article with a diagram of a Stant cap: http://www.motor.com/magazine/pdfs/122014_5.pdf
  15. I believe you are looking for this TSB: http://www.revbase.com/BBBMotor/TSb/DownloadPdf?id=169301 AWD VEHICLES - SHUDDER/CHATTER/VIBRATION ON TURNS OR THUMP/CLUNK NOISE ON LIGHT ACCELERATION - BUILT 10/1/2009 TO 12/31/2009 Seems like a PTU replacement is recommended. TSB 10-22-4_AWD VEHICLES - SHUDDER-CHATTER-VIBRATION ON TURNS OR THUMP-CLUNK NOISE ON LIGHT ACCELERATION - BUILT 10-1-2009 TO 12-31-2009 .pdf
  16. You could ask Dan at DTBL/drivebright.com if he can make the LED light strips in 3000K color. Not sure what the current offering is in terms of lumens.
  17. On the Edge 2.0L EB, the fuel pump was/is one of the main issues. I am sure there are other issues, but rare to hear of any on this forum (yet). Now if we expand the scope of the question to the 3.5L EB in transverse applications (SHO, Flex, Explorer Sport), we find very infrequent (but not rare) cases of leakage from turbo seals, turbo oil lines, fuel injectors, and valve covers.
  18. You do things the old-fashioned way, you earn it!
  19. I am just afraid that people will not take their Edge in for the recall check for fear of it being hijacked and quarantined for the full trimester, not having equivalent transportation in the meantime, and not knowing the depreciation suffered either. I hope for the best, that everyone remains safe.
  20. The FSM uses the upper quick connect coupling on the EVAP Canister Purge Valve (mounted on the firewall) + smoke machine + IDS to diagnose the system. I don't know if there is an easy equivalent to the vacuum leak test with smoke in the intake for the EVAP system. Check underneath for any damage to the vent lines/canister. The fuel cap area at the filler neck/flap may be dirty and in need of cleaning. Or the purge solenoid may finally be past its' prime. On older cars (pre OBD2) if the purge valve was at fault, the fix (temporary or permanent) would be to bypass the valve completely and connect the 2 hoses to each other directly so the purge is happening all the time. IDK if this would create problems on the Edge or not.
  21. Had the Edge in-shop for exhaust smell in cabin and very recently, oil smell in addition. They found a leak in the LH Valve Cover (failed gasket), seems to be A-OK now. Time will tell. No cost, thanks Ford ESP!
