My side sensors seem to go nuts when there's a tractor trailer nearby. It is (of course) not consistent. I think it might have to do with the flat sides of the trailer that get extended by those side skirts that they're using to decrease drag.

That is the first thing I looked for on the order sheet to verify, since I made it a point for the service guy to check that the parts being ordered were in fact different. The parts on the sheet do have the "B" attached to them, so unless they messed that up (not 100% unlikely)....they should be the correct parts. I'm bringing it to my dealership this Saturday, so we'll see what happens.

Got mine back Wednesday night. Drove the 35 minutes home with the A/C seats on full blast the whole time.... There was no difference.... Going to talk to the service guy that set up my appointment today to see if we can figure out why it still isn't working.

Called my dealership about an hour ago and asked them to order the parts per the TSB. Going in to have them replaced next Wednesday! I'll update after the install, hopefully with good news that they now work!

Thank you!

Yea, I saw that and I've seen it posted before, I was just curious to see if there were any differences. I guess all I really have to provide to my dealer is the TSB code.

Do you have access to provide the TSB PDF to us?

Does the LED tail light that runs across the liftgate only light up in the Titanium and Sport? Yes. I'm at 3600 miles so far and starting to notice small rattles. Near the driver side door handle, at the base of the steering wheel or around that area (that one is getting super annoying). The very last one is happening near the cup holder black trim area. For the area near the steering wheel, do you have something in that little drawer thing on the left hand side? Not sure about the cup holder area, mine seems fine. Do you store a lot of items in the center console? I would figure that for a brand new vehicle these rattles would start to show up higher up in mileage. Not this early. Unless you have items stored in the car that are causing the rattling, it is caused by other things. Temperature due to expansion and contraction which makes the components rattle because they're made of all difference types of materials. Or the frequency of the car at any given time. In my experience, 4 cylinder engines tend to operate at frequencies that just so happen to be near the resonant frequencies of the materials used in cars. For example, my wife's 4 cyl Accord rattles slightly at stoplights and usually in the winter when it's warming up. This is one of the reasons that I chose the 3.5L V6 Edge.

I'm not an automotive design engineer, but I do know that they generally design headlights and taillights with vents to allow for the air inside the housings to escape when it gets heated up. If they "sealed up" the housings like many of you are suggesting they should do, then the air inside the housings will have nowhere to go when it expands (or contracts when cooled). Eventually, that would probably cause the housing to crack. Then you would have a much larger issue. My suggestion would be to find where the lights vent from and simply avoid spraying water directly in that area. If you spray water above the lights and let the water run down (like rain), you will probably avoid getting as much water in the lights as you are.

Which is why it is recommended that when possible, you should plan to go to multiple places each time you go out and you start with the furthest place first to get the engine up to prime operating temperature.

Yes, I would definitely recommend the 3.5 over any of the EcoBoosts because (from my test driving experiences) it was the smoothest shifting engine of the selection. For perspective, I'm 25 years old and I prefer the smoother ride as well. After all, the Edge is an SUV and not a Tesla or a Ferrari! lol Since the 3.5 is a V6 and a larger engine, it will warm up just fine on its own. The little 2.0L I4 needs a little help so it gets the shutters.

Please definitely update after your repair. And if you can get specific info on how your dealer did the repair, that would be great. My dealership isn't going to budge until they get something from Ford, so hopefully there's an actual service bulletin out.

We got the 3.5. After back-to-back-to-back-etc. test driving each of the engines (all AWD, Titanium), we found that the 3.5 shifted gears the smoothest and had the smoothest overall ride.

I used to only use Shell/Mobil/etc. until I did some research and found that you are better off buying the cheapest gas you can find AS LONG AS that gas station has a high or very high turnover. For example, there is a gas station on my way home that I swear rarely has an empty pump available between 8am and 9pm every day AND it has the cheapest gas within a reasonable driving distance. I go there now and will (as I mentioned above) add some Lucas Oil additive before long trips.

Spoke to my sales guy after he was able to test out an Edge on the lot. He sent me the picture below that shows where the cooling on the seat back was coming from. He also said that he could hear the air flow if he put his ear over this location. I tried it out myself and I can also hear air flow in this location, however, I still do not feel any cooling. So I will probably make a trip out to my dealer within the next week or so to see what it feels like on the car he tried out. Hopefully I can speak with the technician around this time as well to see what he has to say.
