"Are you talking about the Engine Start/Stop when driving function and stopped at a light or stop sign?" Yes, this is what i'm referring to. I don't believe any of the conditions you mention apply here. It is an SEL, it is not in sport mode. I have observed the condition where Engine Start/Stop doesn't work when the engine is not warmed up, and I don't think it's that. This is new behavior in the last week or so. I have not turned Engine Start/Stop off either with the steering wheel control or the center console switch. I haven't done a longer drive this week to test it, but I will soon but before this started happening, my daily commute was long enough to make the feature perform as designed, so this lack of function now has me somewhat concerned. I also saw this: The system may not shut down the engine under certain conditions, for example: To maintain the interior climate. Low battery voltage. The outside temperature is too low or too high. The driver's door has been opened. Low engine operating temperature. Low brake system vacuum. If a road speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) has not been exceeded. The driver's seat belt has not been fastened. With regards to the rear defrost, I have been using remote start. I'll start it manually from inside the car and see what happens then.

I purchased my Ford Edge SEL in December and have been enjoying the car very much as I get used to driving it and learning the features. In the last week or so, I've noticed a quirky issue (or two). When I start the car the rear defrost is on. At first I thought this was some sort of climate-sensing feature, but the car is garaged every night and certainly isn't cold enough to warrant this being on at the start. The other issue that I've been noticing for about the same amount of time is that the engine auto off is no longer functioning. I read the various reasons in the manual why this could happen by design and none seems to apply. I wonder if this plus the rear defrost thing are somehow related? Anyone experience this and have a fix or other thoughts about this?

Yesterday I brought home my new 2019 Ford Edge SEL in Baltic Sea Green. I'd been looking for a while and found one in the color I want with the options I wanted at Damerow Ford in Beaverton, OR. I ended up driving it home.
