I can get a good deal on some Pirelli 275/40/22 for my 2011 Sport but i always bought 265/40/22. I know they’ll clear but would there be any issues with the wider tire on that 22” sport rim as far as load or drive issues.

Thanks I appreciate the reply. It definitely is that low growling and it seems more to the drivers rear wheel. I ordered the new bearing and will be installing it this weekend. Thank you

I started having a loud rear end noise when moving forward over 25mph. It sounds like it could be a rear wheel hub but I am unsure since I have never experienced one making noise. When taking a turn to the right it seems to get a bit louder like the load is being put on the left rear wheel so my guess is it could be the rear left. Has anyone experienced this issue? Thank you

Just had this happen on my 2011 Sport. I can slide the glass forward by hand but it stays vented. Still no luck getting the glass to close fully and sit down....what a pain

Im aware it changes to bright turquoise when exiting/entering the vehicle. I always had it set to dark red. I will enter the vehicle and start it and the color will be something different. Lately, I have the ambient lighting set to OFF and the bright turquoise will stay ON after entering and starting the vehicle. Its so weird. I have written Ford in the past with no luck so I am not confident any communication with them will help. My local dealer has no answers. No surprise. lol

Ever since I updated the SYNC system a few weeks ago the ambiant lighting will not stay off. I turn it off through the menu and then the next time I start my Edge it is back on. It happens pretty much everyday. Anyone having this issue?

I had my check engine light come on last week, I stopped into a local parts store and they were able to pull the code which ended up being an evap leak. I called the dealer and they couldnt get me in right away so I drove the Edge for a few days. The check engine light ended up going off so I canceld my appt. I pushed my finger into the capless hole a few times. I dont think that did anything but i heard that the capless systems dont always seal correctly and it can reseal the system.

ok cool. I realized I typed 2011 Sport when I should have typed 2011. lol

Sorry I still havent put any pics up, the parts are sitting in my garage. I wrote 5 letters to various departments at Ford, including William Ford jr, Fredrick Tooney who is the global CEO of customer service. I also sent a letter to the Board of Directors. Who knows where it will get me, if anywhere, but at least I feel like I had a right to complain lol

I found this place on facebook that does custom HID lighting for many vehicles. The website is www.sickhids.com. The about section of the site says he is out of California but ships worldwide. I sent him an email for a quote on my 2001 Edge Sport....

My moonroof seems like it could use a little lubrication. I was wondering what I should use? Litium grease, or would wd 40 be ok? I know wd 40 doesnt last long, especially when it gets wet. Thanks

Thanks everyone. I guess it really isnt a brake problem per say lol The issue, I feel, is with Ford not backing their materials. Knock on wood, I havent had any major issues with my Ford vehicles.

Hi everyone, owner of a 2011 Edge Sport silver, had a 2008 Edge Limited prior to this then a 2006 Explorer Eddie Bauer and a 2003 Sport Trac before that. Havent been on a vehicle forum since the Sport Trac, which I did all sorts of stuff to. I love the Edge Sport. Having some brake issues right now, I posted about them on the brake forum. Hope I can get some answers from Ford because I am losing faith in them day by day. Have a good one.

Yes, I will put up some pics, most likely tomorrow. I am saving all of the old parts just in case I do get somewhere with Ford. I read some stuff online about Disk Thickness Variation (DTV) and how the calipers can be slower to open. It basically machines the rotors over time and breaks them down. This sounds exactly like what the rear passanger wheel I took it in for was doing, the caliper wasnt opening back up enough to allow the rotor to spin freely. I know I live in a region with more snow and our city uses salt on the roads but I have never had this happen on any vehicle at 28,000 miles I have ever owned, let alone a Ford. We shall see where this goes.

I already have contacted National Ford customer service and the lady was unwilling to have an adult conversation with me. She said "brakes are a wear issue and Ford will not cover them". The dealer put my truck back together and I drove it home. I purchased four rotors and all the pads for $300 and I am going to do the brakes myself, yes I do know how. lol I am not giving up on getting through to someone at Ford. I am disappointed that they werent even willing to meet me half way on something, like I pay for pads and they warranty the rotors. I am 33 years old and this is my forth brand new Ford in a row. I can honestly say I wont buy another Ford product again if this is where Ford's cutomers service future is headed. I knew it was my rear passanger side brake because after highway speeds I started to hear that wheel making noise. When I would get to where I was going, I would get out and look through the rim. The rotor was so hot I could feel the heat from about a foot away from the wheel. A few times, when coming to a stop after highway speeds, the caliper wouldnt release when I let off the brake pedal, so it made a loud clunking noise. I thought the caliper was the problem, so I took it in to be checked. The thing that really gets me is that the National Rep tells me its a "wear" issue and the local service dept tells me my brake pads are half, which says to me I am not a heavy foot on the brake, especially at 28,000 miles. At this point my focus is more about the National Rep basically calling me a liar when I told her that the Ford phone operator was able to tell me that at 20,000 miles all of my brake componants were visually inspected at a Ford dealer and that everything was fine. If they did this or not, I dont know, but its on my service log and the National Rep claims that the Ford computer system can not see service records only warranty. The funny thing is, I brought the Edge in for engine noise, under warranty and the service was billed under warranty. I called the Ford 1-800 number back but the phone operator was not allowed to "comment on the situation" because he saw I had a claim open. Game on Ford.

Had some issues with the pass rear brake holding up after highway speeds. I took my edge to the dealer. They called me back and told me the inside brake pad had come loose and that it was 2/3rds worn and that it was due to rust. He then tells me that I also need a new rotor. After this he explains I would need another new rotor on the drivers rear too. He claims they inspected the front brakes and they are on their way to corroding and I should replace the from rotors as well. He tells me this happened because I did not get the "15k mile brake service". This is my forth brand mew Ford and second Edge in a row, I have never ever done a 15k mile brake service on any vehicle. He also tells me my pads are fine and only half warn except for the pad that was rubbing the rotor. None of this is covered by any factory warranty. I also have the premium Ford extended warranty. I called Ford direct and start a claim, the district rep calls me back and basically says this is a maintenance issue and will not be covered under warranty. When I started the claim the operator was able to look back at my warranty service history and told me the dealer had logged that they inspected my brakes at 20k miles back in March and everything was fine. I explained this to the district rep but was basically called a liar and she told me that they can not go into my service records and see when stuff was done. I told her I was on fordowner.com and was literally reading it from my computer when I was telling her. Nothing. I called the dealer back and picked up my truck. I am frustrated. I don't know who or where to call next. The service manager told me he would help me out but Ford requires pictures of everything now so there is no room to even wiggle. Any suggestions? Or am I wrong? Should these brakes be falling apart at 28k?? I am obviously not a heavy braker if my pads are still at half life at 28k so it isn't my foot. Thanks.
