  1. Hopefully they gave you enough to move forward and acquire another compatible vehicle.
  2. What oil and filter are you using, Josh? This engine seems to prefer the OEM Motorcraft FL400S, due to the location of the bypass valve at the base end as opposed to most other filters, providing lubrication that much quicker to the engine on startup. If the sound goes on for a few minutes, it could be due to inadequate lubrication through the cam phasers, so keeping a tight schedule on OCs is an excellent recommendation.
  3. Could very well be one or more wheel bearings going out. Sometimes brake pad/rotor interaction can also cause grinding noises when turning if the pads are not seating properly. Should all be under b2b warranty, so definitely have the dealer look at this.
  4. I am still thinking "fogged" assemblies that could clear up with a bit of polishing.
  5. By frequency of occurrence, I suspect the cooling fan motor is at fault. You may want to replace the entire assembly due to cost reasons: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12731-radiator-fan-assembly-replacement-procedure/ This is the basic procedure from the 2007's workshop manual: Cooling Fan Motor and Shroud Item Part Number Description 1 13A506 Wiring harness retainer (5 required) 2 8B274 Upper radiator hose 3 14A464 Cooling fan motor and shroud electrical connector 4 W503924 Cooling fan motor and shroud bolt (2 required) 5 8C607 Cooling fan motor and shroud 6 W503924 Oil cooler bracket bolt (if equipped) 7 — Oil cooler bracket (if equipped) Removal and Installation Disconnect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to Section 414-01 .Remove the air cleaner assembly. For additional information, refer to Section 303-12 .If equipped, detach the 2 block heater wiring clips from the radiator support. Detach the 5 wiring harness retainers and position the harness aside.Position aside the upper radiator hose from the cooling fan motor and shroud.Disconnect the cooling fan motor and shroud electrical connector.If equipped, remove the bolt and position aside the oil cooler bracket. To install, tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). Remove the 2 bolts and the cooling fan motor and shroud. To install, tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). To install, reverse the removal procedure.
  6. Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your Edge! We are suffering from a severe lack of smartass-ery on this forum, so your contributions are most welcome Now, how about posting some pics as proof-of-purchase???
  7. What year Edge (11+?)? Details on your HID kit? Brand/color temperature? 55W HID should be powered directly from battery.
  8. Replacing the thermostat would be a good idea. I'd also make sure the radiator fans are coming on when the temp is getting that high. The fan motor might have failed. Caps do get stuck on occasion as well, tho not as much with today's vehicles it seems.
  9. Mentioned in post above: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12606-transmission-issues-feels-like-youve-been-hit-by-another-vehicle/?do=findComment&comment=97585
  10. That's why Todd from Ford Customer Service is here! If the dealer is not to your satisfaction, get Todd involved. He can help get roadblocks removed for you, as well as pass on your dealer impressions directly to Ford.
  11. Do you have a service like AAA or emergency road service thru your insurance? No clue on availability of these things in Canada. I am sure long booster cables are available though, unless you are parked in a 3-sided corner of a parking garage. I have seen 20' long cables listed for local pickup in auto stores. You could ask them for help also, see if they will help you with a loaner jumpstarter? BTW, getting more than 3 years out of a car battery nowadays is a miracle due to the demands put on them by modern electronics.
  12. Not sure what the problem could be. Looks like a wire for the ignition coil nearest the blue wire has come off. I looked at mine and it is a white wire with a blue stripe, so maybe yours is a ground wire? Also sounds like your battery is weak/drained or the starter is dying. It should turn the engine over much faster than that. I assume it is a 2007-10 Edge? How old is the battery? Are your headlights (and accessories) turned to the OFF position when trying to crank the engine? That will allow the battery to provide more power towards starting the vehicle.
  13. Welcome to the Edge community, congrats on your soon-to-be ride I too had shopped the Q5/Q7 before deciding on the Edge. Generally VERY happy so far. Amazing what the user can do with a bluetooth dongle on the OBDII port and an Android device loaded with Torque these days!
  14. Well, aside from the fuel pump, I would check the alternator (full diagnostic) & grounds. A fried diode might cause a whine even with ignition turned off. If you had buzzing, i would have suspected fuel injectors/connectors or ignition coils.
  15. Something like this & not a stickon? http://www.ebay.com/itm/9-Ford-oem-Emblem-EDGE-F-150-TAURUS-SUPER-DUTY-RANGER-GRILLE-OR-TAILGATE-/221385959194 Ford emblems can be found on EBay, just need to know the size you need if the Edge is not listed. Also can order thru Levittown Ford Supercenter (sponsor on here) to get discounted parts in general. The contact is Benny. Try this: http://www.fordpartsgiant.com/partlist/name-plates~2012-ford-edge-16853159-16853160-23992082.html and http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313&_nkw=4Z-8213-A&_sacat=0&_from=R40
  16. That is definitely a most annoying sound. I assume it gets louder if you open the hood? It's almost as if the fuel pump doesn't stop priming. Try turning the Ignition Switch to RUN (don't start), then back to OFF and take the key back out. Does the noise still continue?
  17. Ugh! Have you pulled the codes yet? You could still have gotten a faulty part, unfortunately. Try unplugging and reseating the electrical connector on the TB. You previously had the "harsh thrust when accelerating from a stop". Has this symptom returned? Does the engine run rough or misfire at any point?
  18. It could be fuel pump or subwoofer whine (if it seems to be coming from the back of the vehicle) or gear whine (front OR back). Do you have AWD? Check all fluid levels, including trans, PTU and RDU. Refill/replace fluids as needed. Do you drive with your windows down at all? Does the intensity of the sound change when you do so? Sometimes there can be a shrill whistling sound from the outside mirror(s). If you can put a video or audio file for us, that might help us isolate the possible cause(s) as well.
  19. Welcome to the community, and congrats on picking an Edge as your wife's new ride We ALWAYS have parts questions, so your offer of assistance may see a lot of use! Nice color on the Element too ...
  20. If I remember correctly, the ABS system/wheel speed sensors have been the culprits in the past. Another thing to check would be the OSS/TSS sensors. Put it back to stock if you are concerned, but seems like the dealership already knows about your CAI?
