Transmission fluid drops on the floor
1004ron replied to Brockdog12's topic in Dealership & Vendor Experiences
Congrats. From the same dealer and with the same maintenance package serviced by them? -
The free flow air filters obviously allow more damaging particulate to pass through which is the most significant factor for me, but many are misled by the claims of increased power. There are other components that dictate the maximum air the engine can ingest.

2015 edge sport dead but battery test good
1004ron replied to roedge's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Welcome. 14.8v seems a little high. When you replaced the battery did you reset the BMS (Battery Monitoring System)? It could also be a parasitic drain - do a search for that and you'll find a few good YouTube videos on how. Places like AutoZone have testers that check the CCA, Cranking Voltage, and Charge rates - have them do that. -
What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
1004ron replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
His would be the 2.7L V6 Twin Turbo. I did my serpentine belt kit (belt, idler and tensioner) at 103K miles and would say that 100K miles is a good interval for this. -
YES Try fixing the caps-lock.

Shimmy, shake, jiggle, when >50 mph and accelarating

This video describes what I'm experiencing. -
Shimmy, shake, jiggle, when >50 mph and accelarating
1004ron replied to 1004ron's topic in All Wheel Drive (AWD)
From what you describe I'm guessing yours was evident at specific speeds - mine is only there at a specifc speed range (55 - 65 mph) AND accelerating - light throttle just cruising at any speed has zero vobration. Tomorrow (11/1/25) around noon I'll have new tires on but don't expect any change to this issue. On Saturday afternoon or Sunday I'll get in up on four jack-stands, and front wheels off, then scrutinize all potential areas such as the lower control arm buses - if its that I get the complete lower control arms. Should I stick with Motorcraft or are Moog and Mevotech acceptable? https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2017,edge,2.7l+v6+turbocharged,3434543,suspension,control+arm,10401 -
Help. Gasoline Fumes, Smell 2011 Edge Limited 3.5
1004ron replied to Tucson Bob's topic in 2011 Edge & MKX
Welcome. It's the first I hear of this here on the forum, so makes me question the diagnostics that led to all those parts being replaced - might want to consider a different mechanic/service shop. -
Compared to the two other brands I've tried after the original set wore out, I decided liked the originals best for all season performance and tread life. I've had tires installed at Costco with no issues, but thanks for reminding me about the potential damage to the Ford lug nuts - I just recently installed the new set that I got when the dealership destroyed them at the 5K mile service (had them on the shelf all this time). I'll insist that impact wrenches not be used.

2011 ford edge "check charging system"... solved
1004ron replied to Jrod-13's topic in 2011 Edge & MKX
Welcome. What alternator brand and where did you purchase it? Non-OEM alternators are widely reported here to be incompatible with the vehicles computer charging controls - check the post directly above yours. . -
Ordered new tires at Costco for installation on 8th November 2025. Price was pretty good. The "W" speed rating version are $170 more than the "S" - I confirmed from my photos that the original tires were the "S" rating so that what I went with, and the fact that the Sport and myself aren't going to get anywhere near the speed rating of the "W".

Transmission fluid drops on the floor
1004ron replied to Brockdog12's topic in Dealership & Vendor Experiences
Best check the owner's manual for the transmission fluid change interval. In extreme operating conditions such as towing etc. the recommended transmission fluid change interval is 30K miles, and for normal use 150K miles. Question, what is the motivation for the dealerships suggesting transmission fluid changes at such lower mileage? If there's fluid found on the floor or anywhere outside the transmission make sure you have written records that you've addressed this with the dealership for them to resolve - doesn't matter whether they messed oil or overfilled it, it's their issue - there could be further issues like seals etc. -
About 5 years ago I switched all my vehicles over to Amsoil SVG. I did this based on the widespread independent reviews that included lab results.
-
That would be a tough call for me - I would prefer a remanufactured from a place like Jasper for $500 - $6000 but with that cost being 70% + the value of the car is where I'd have a hard time, and this might have me consider a cheaper fix and plan for a replacement vehicle in the near future.

What's in that kit is what I'd call a "refresh" not a "rebuild". What's the mileage? Locked up due to lack of bearing lubricant would also damage the crank and would need machining or at least polishing, then what about pistons and rings? A used motor with similar mileage would likely soon need a rebuild?

Excessively glossy interior surfaces(piano black)
1004ron replied to Amedaius's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
The only part I'd like to change is the one around the cup holders. A good decal would work from me. -
Excessively glossy interior surfaces(piano black)
1004ron replied to Amedaius's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
I'd like to see what you guys go with and where to get it - it was a major distraction when I first bought the car, the reflections of trees and buildings in the piano black. -

2018 Edge Titanium 2.0L Questions - #4 misfire code
1004ron replied to Bungo Pete's topic in 2017-2018 Edge & MKX
It would be best to assess the likelihood of coolant intrusion before spending money on parts and labor and then we can move this thread to the one discussing that. A simple test that places like AutoZone can do, is to sniff for combustion gases in the cooling system - the thread on coolant intrusion has more details on the testing. Don't expect you'll see white smoke from the exhaust with the intrusion issue. . -
Understood.
-
explorerrob with the coolant leaking into the oil sump you won't see white smoke out the exhaust.

In my opinion there would be no clunking if the splines were in good condition regardless of the axle nut torque. I expect the permanent solution to be "The only remedy would be to replace the axle/shaft and inspect the wheel hub/bearing for similar spline damage which would most likely also need replacement". https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2017,edge,2.7l+v6+turbocharged,3434543,drivetrain,cv+axle,2288 https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2017,edge,2.7l+v6+turbocharged,3434543,brake+&+wheel+hub,wheel+bearing+&+hub,1636 As far as warranty goes, you would need to loosen the nuts again for them to witness the fault condition and hope that they don't mask the issue but merely torquing the nuts.
-
If the effect of Re-torquing the axle nut is short lived, it suggests that the splines are worn, possibly due to lack of spline lube during installation and/or the axle nut not being torqued properly. The only remedy would be to replace the axle/shaft and inspect the hub for similar spline damage which would most likely also need replacement.
