It appears that since the last sync update, you now have to hold the "pickup-end" button on the steering wheel a few seconds until hang up occurs. (New "feature".)

Never done it, but I believe if the bubbles are still there, I would poke them with a pin and try to roll them out. Failing this, I would try an ice cube to see if the rubber could be shrunk, then try rolling again.

Just the battery. Ford usually has a coupon for theirs posted on their website. If you go thst route, get the bigger battery, for about $20 more you should get an extra year or so of use.

The Vista roof is specifically covered in the esp warranty. (Just the mechanical and electrical parts, no glass is covered.)

Yeaaaa, when I used to get a bug up my ... I used to run it through the car wash first, just to get a head start on the process. At my age now, it's much easier to just drop it off at the detailer and pick it up at the end of the day. That way you can drink all the beer you want and still get it clean. HA.

Perhaps a different dealer might offer better service. Why not contact these people and see what they can come up with. https://parts.lakelandford.com/a/Ford_2013_Edge37L-V6-FWDSport/_51505_6476434/FRONT-SEAT-COMPONENTS-SEATS--TRACKS/MS11440.html Btw, have you tried finding one from a wrecked car? There's a search site online (used it years ago when looking for a blue, leather steering wheel for my Merc Sable. Turned out a yard somewhere in Southern Ohio had one like new.) Don't have the url anymore, but it should pop up in a Google search.

You should be award that many dealerships will price match other websites (usually if you have it installed there and pay the labor). I've had good luck in price matching parts at my local dealer. (Remember that the parts department is separate from the service department.)

Perhaps replacing the entire seat cover would be easier. Here's what I'm thinking of: http://m.ebay.com/itm/2008-2013-Ford-Edge-OEM-passenger-lower-Factory-leather-seat-cover-/282254674908?hash=item41b7b08bdc%3Ag%3AF30AAOSwjXRXcaL5&_trkparms=pageci%253Aa882b5c0-b12a-11e6-b541-74dbd1807e79%257Cparentrq%253A8f2b8bae1580a5e0a74ae7deffefd2bc%257Ciid%253A1

I was thinking that the bearings can go bad on a car that sits most of its life. (His car has only 1/4 of normal milage). Rust, grease failure, etc. (?)

This also looks interesting. https://mom.me/lifestyle/1817-remove-pen-marks-car-leather/

Years ago, probably back in the 60's, there was a product that cleaned dryed on, blue/black ink out of a white shirt. It was called Swipe. (I don't know if this is the same product or not: http://www.swipehomecare.com/.) Anyway, the way it worked was (I was told) it chemically reacted to the ink and turned it clear. Can't vouch that this is the same as what I remember, but looks like it. Wouldn't hurt to try insmasmuch as your looking to replace the leather anyway.

Ah ha, but did you compensate for the Millennium Bug? When you do the correct date is February 30th 1981.

But, it would end up nagging you to death about updating your sync, checking your oil and air in the tires, clean the windshield, run a vehicle health report, put on your seatbealt, turn down the radio, stop cussing out the other drivers, slow down, speed up .....

Chromed of course.Eh,... https://bullsballs.com/product/bulls-balls-hangers/

Well, my garage kept, 2009 Lincoln MKX, with 100k mIles has no problems with its trailing arms or bearings. Maybe it's how you drive. Potholes and road hazards car quickly take their toll on a cars suspension. My wife's 04 Sebring Convertible goes through bearings. Third set so far. (And of course the water pump issue and all the known problems with Sebrings. Costs money to keeo a car in good condition.) Ive never had a problem with my PTU either. What kind of problems are you having with yours? Sorry to hear that, they are expensive if they fail.) Personally I find the 09 MKX to be the best car I've ever owned. And I like to keep it as close to showroom as possible, more fun to drive that way. Although it's only my opinion, I feel it's actually a better design than many of the later models (although I have to admit that the 2016's feature that shows a top-down view of all the space surrounding the car, is brilliant. I have to actually turn my head and look in the mirrors to see what's around me when I'm driving. Sync 3 isn't a must have however. Just my opinion.) But back to your car, are you planning on replacing the bearings? Wouldn't want those to fail on a long trip away from home. Never heard of the trailing arms failing. Are you talking about the rubber bushings getting old and worn? At 27k I would get a second opinion. Just doesn't sound right. That just not a part that fails, even if you hit road hazards. Even so, bushings aren't expensive. Sorry you are not happy with your 09 MKX. I really love mine.

What, no chrome valve covers?

That used a interface that allows the screen to be used for dvd while in motion. It also allows the camera to be turned on while driving, as well as adding an additional front-facing camera. Costs a bunch as well. However, it's NOT needed just to add a backup camera. If you have navigation, the camera video feed just plugs into the back ACM. The rest of the thread has a lot of great information on how he added a camera.

Oh pleeeeease. There's nothing more hip than a racoon tail tied to you antenna, a bobble head on the dash, a 108" CB whip bolted to the back bumper and the latest copy of Playboy Magazine sitting conspicuously on the passenger seat. ?

What's the best coating for the windshield? (Rainx only lasts 30 days or until you use the wipers, whichever comes first.)

It can be added, but it's not plug and play. You would have to physically mount the camera (they make ones that mount over the license plate) and then run the wires to the back of the ACM. If you have navigation it will plug into the back of the radio (they make a modified harness that accepts a RCA plug from the camera.) You will also need to have your dealer turn it on, or use your cell phone or laptop to turn it on. To do it yourself, you'll need a wireless adapter and software. If you don't have Navigation, you could change the mirror to one with a LCD screen built in. The power for the camera can be wired directly to the backup light wiring.

How many miles do you have on your car?

More likely, they realized they were losing business. Shame the other dealerships don't get this message. Can I ask who you used and how much did you pay? I paid $80 at local Ford dealer, partly because of the price of the fluid itself. (Was told $40 of the $80 was for the fluid.).

FYI, I paid $80.

Humidity sensor? Wonder what the purpose of that is?

Unrelated to your questions, I was at my local Ford dealer last week for new tires and we talked about changing the fluid in the PTU. I had mentioned that there was no change interval for the PTU (09 MKX) and he corrected me, stating that that Ford does have a change procedure by sucking out the old fluid, ? if the PTU had been in water, such a flooded street. In fact, it HAS to be changed under those conditions. (Been a requirement at least since 2008, if not before.) Said that it was in the owners manual, actually found it. So it makes me wonder where those other dealers are coming up with this no-change crap. It's required under those conditions.
