Ksaness07Edge

I dropped off my 07 AWD Edge on Tuesday for the same problem. I have 41,000 Miles on the it. It developed the "whistle" at highway speed and then eventually even around town. They said the ware on the rotors was ok but it had developed some "hot spots" so they recommended replacing the whole lot. Was quoted $517usd

Sorry the ebay link was just to show that its for sale on ebay. I bought my bull bar black.

I have this one installed on my 07 Edge Bought it off Ebay very easy install took all of 20 mins

I just posted a topic in the Maintenance/TSB area about my 2007 Edge needing a new throttle body because the Throttle Position Sensor is screwed up. I have different symptoms but your might be the same problem. Mine would have very erratic RPM jumps while driving down the highway say at 70 mph it would go from 2,000 RPM and then drop down real quick to 1,000 RPM and then back up I am bringing mine in on Thursday to have it fixed.

So I had my Edge in last week to replace some leaky seals on the transmission that all went fine but I got in my car yesterday morning and my check engine light and my little service wrench light was on. So I stopped at the dealer and they plugged it into the computer and said that it might have been something that they did when they were fixing the Transmission. They cleared the codes and said if it happens again come back. I get in my car this morning and what do you know the lights are on again. so I drive into the dealer AGAIN and this time they said the the code is something to do with the throttle position sensor. They have to order an entire throttle body because its all integrated into that. I have to go BACK to my dealer on Thursday. So the Service rep said its ok to drive but if it happens again "Just turn the car off then start back up" and "It might get worse like it could fail all together and then you would have no acceleration" These guys are crazy I'm not going to be driving this car around until they fix it. This is starting to get frustrating because the car only has 30,000 miles on it. Whats going to happen in another 30,000 Miles when there is not warranty? Not a very happy Ford costumer right now. These are my problems to date with my 2007 Ford Edge AWD SE 3,000 - Miles PTU leaking / over filled from Factory 6,000 - 20,000 Miles Right front tire loosing pressure never found problem just stopped one day. 6,000 Miles - Gear shifter sticking and making an awful noise when moved from park into Drive - Fixed with lots of lubrication 30,000 Miles - Transmission Leak - fixed with new seals 30,000 Miles - Throttle body - Throttle position sensor - not fixed yet

Tranny I had the PTU seal done on my first oil change.

Like the dealer thought it was just a leaky seal. Took 2 days, one for them to tear it apart and then another to put it back together.

So I brought my Edge in for my 30,000 mile service and they found a leak in my transmission. They think its just a seal so they are ordering the parts and then they will take it apart to see if that is the cause of the leak. I will update the thread when I know more details.

I don't personally have the in-channel vents because the ford ones were installed free by the dealer when I purchased my Edge but the ones from Weather Tech seem nice and I think a few people here on the site have them installed.

Thats why I would not trade or sell my edge unless the amount was the same as I owe on the lean. I have had it posted on Craigslist as well and have had a few people interested so that is a good sign.

yeah I Was never intending on buying and or using this devise.

Thanks bbf25030 your posts are very helpful and well written and I understand what you are saying. I am trying to accomplish 2 things by selling/trading my edge 1-better gas millage 2- lower my loan payment I was in a different financial position a year ago when I purchased the edge and my priorities have changed. Also Gas is not going to get cheaper can anyone say that in the x amount of years they have been driving that gas is cheaper now then it was when they started driving and or even 2 years ago. So with those two factors 1 better gas millage and 2 lower loan payment and on top of that lower insurance as well, the loss on what I have put into the edge will be minimum. Thanks for the help and discussion. On a side note this morning the local new had a piece on the Hydro 4000 haha claims to increase gas millage by 50% or more. I have done some reading up on this and have not found a reliable source yet but first instinct is SCAM what do ya'll think I'm surprised it made it on to the local news.

Nope just means you're a worse prick then the dealer is, and thanks for a very helpful reply The two values I gave in the first post were what kbb and Edmunds had for trade in values not suggested retail, suggested retail values are higher they are in the $22,000+ range. I have been looking at a lot of Subaru's I would love to keep the AWD and Subaru has a lot of options and gas millage is pretty good as well. Obviously if I drop the AWD I could find a vehicle with much better gas millage you know the typical Honda, Toyota, Nissan. I was also considering a diesel vehicle as well such as a VW or something but with the price of diesel rising as fast as gas it may not be the best idea either.

Exactly I knew that going into it, I have traded in cars before and have always had to haggle with the dealer to get them to a price I was "willing" to accept but for an almost $30,000 car to only get a $16,000 starting point from a dealer after 14 months of owning it made me laugh. I am well aware that vehicles lose value but to lose almost 50% in 14 months is crazy

HaHa well I got a quote from a dealer for a trade on my Edge they offered me 16,000 LOL
