Check your owner's manual beginning at page 174. There's a lot of very useful information there including features unique to the 8 speed transaxle.

Unfortunately the link you provided in your original post is dead. Maybe you can find the bulbs again on iJDMToy and update the link? Here's the original: https://store.ijdmtoy.com/Audi-BMW-Mercedes-VW-H15-LED-Daytime-Lights-p/40-341.htm

I've never seen any official rating for the signature light color temperature but would hazard a guess they're 4500 to 5000k. Certainly not the bright white of 6000k and they don't have any of the blue common with 6500k. The big problem you're facing (as does everyone trying to exactly match front light appearance) is a lack of standardization. The 6000k of one bulb maker is, all too often, the 5000k of another. In the end you'll have to experiment.

Maybe you can help it along a little. I'm thinking a toilet paper tube taped over one of the holes then a hair dryer running on low and cool taped to the other end of the tube. Even a little airflow will help with evaporation.

Johnny, It's sad to think anyone would be upset driving their brand new car but there's no need for it. Something's not right with that transmission. I've spent the past 20 minutes searching through an assortment of Edge groups and forums and can't find a single mention of erratic shifting from the new 8 speed. I even tried a Google search for "Ford 8 speed transmission issues" and came up with nothing.....actually, nothing Ford related but GM owners sure do hate their 8 speeds. Literally everything inside your transmission is governed by a computer and servos so diagnosis and reprogramming is easily done just by plugging in a computer. I'd suggest taking it to a different dealership but first wait for feedback from those with the same transmission. That way you'll have some documentation to take to the shop with you. If you need to stick with the same shop, tell your service writer you want to take a ride in another '19 Edge with the same engine/trans combo. Have him/her ride with you in your Edge and the one off the lot to see the difference.

Congratulations and welcome to the Ford Edge Forum. As you page through this and, perhaps, other Edge forums and groups (Facebook) you'll pick up a lot of great ideas and information that'll help keep your Edge healthy. Depending on the maintenance history of your car (get it from any Ford service department) and mileage one of the first things you should consider doing is a complete fluid change. Since you have the 3.5L engine a fresh load of Motorcraft orange coolant is particularly important around 30k miles. A series of drain/fill cycles is suggested around that same mileage for the transmission and a drain/fill is all but required for your Power Transfer Unit (ptu) which sends power to the rear wheels. This is despite Ford's claim that those fluids are 'lifetime' and in theory, never need to be changed. If your new Edge has the moonroof (most Titanium models seem to have the option) make sure it's operating smoothly and closes easily. If it takes more than 12 seconds to close it's time for cleaning and lubricating. You'll find several YouTube videos that help with that. Once the mechanicals are taken care of, be sure to register your Edge at Ford.com. That's where you'll find updates for your Sync system if yours isn't already at Sync3 Version3 and a whole lot more. Finally, let me direct you to the (arguably) best information resource available for the Edge, MacT Garage. You'll find a full factory maintenance manual for your Gen2 Edge there along with maintenance and modification tips. https://www.mactgarage.com/ Cheers!

Pull your access door and take a look. The drawer was included for 2015 through 2017 and possibly 2018 so, unless something was added back there interference won't be an issue. If you see a wire or harness give it a little push to see if it can be moved out of the way.

Open the drawer then insert your right hand palm up. With your fingers pressed against the top of the drawer assembly give a hard tug. All the clips will release and you'll have the whole assembly in your hand.

Hey Chef, Take a look at these Chris Fix videos. They'll help you clean things up so well under the hood you could eat off that engine. (see what I did there?):

Dutchman, Take a look at this. I found it online in a Ford manual site ( http://www.fosuvs.com/ ). Maybe it'll work for you : Headlamp exit delay You can set the delay time to keep the headlamps on for up to three minutes after the ignition is turned off. Follow the steps below to change the delay time (Steps 1 through 6 must be done within 10 seconds): 1. Turn the ignition off. 2. Turn the lighting control to the autolamp position. 3. Turn the lighting control to the off position. 4. Turn the ignition on. 5. Turn the ignition off. 6. Turn the lighting control to the autolamp position. The headlamps and parking lamps will turn on. 7. Turn the lighting control to the off position when the desired delay time has been reached. The headlamps and parking lamps will turn off. You can set the headlamp exit delay to one of the following settings: • Off • 10 seconds • 20 seconds • 30 seconds • 60 seconds • 90 seconds • 120 seconds • 180 seconds. Note: You can also adjust the time delay using the display controls in the instrument cluster. See the Information Displays chapter.

Lis, Checking the NHTSA website there are no recalls involving the flexplate in the 2017 Edge. There 'is' a recall affecting torque converter bolts that could fail in vehicles with the 2.0L engine. Of course a recall is repaired by your Ford dealership for free. Here's a link to the NHTSA recall page (type in 2017 Ford Edge to see the list) : https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls If you could convince the shop it's the bolts and not the flexplate causing the issue maybe they'd take a closer look. That said, Ford did send the following notification to NHTSA and dealers advising them of the issue you're describing: Components: POWER TRAIN, EQUIPMENT, ENGINE NHTSA ID Number: 10144200 Manufacturer Communication Number: SSM 47398 Summary Some 2015-2018 Edge vehicles equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost and 6F35 transmission may exhibit a rattle noise from the transmission bellhousing area while running. This may be the result of a cracked engine flexplate.

BB, Were you using a spreadsheet or tested settings for a 2011 Edge? Just asking because most of the spreadsheets are for 2015 and later (there are exceptions I'm sure). Settings shown for later models don't necessarily apply to your 2011.

Go to tirerack.com . Enter your vehicle information and click tires. You'll be shown your OEM size but will have the option of seeing other sizes guaranteed to fit your Edge.

Is it possible your new Edge came from a lot in another state? I'm thinking salt water pushed ashore by hurricanes in Houston, Florida, Carolinas etc. A CarFax report would show you where the Edge has been all its life including the original destination.

I think he probably got the message with the initial responses. That question in September was the one and only time Gary posted in this forum.

It appears you're just venting, not actually asking a question but a year and model (guessing it's a 2.7L Sport) might help others understand there's an issue in the future.

Hey Larry, I realize you'd rather have Ford fix your issue but as you've suggested, the company doesn't want to start an avalanche of claims. How about an alternative? Try changing your brake pads (at least the front) to a high quality ceramic. It's not an expensive change and beats tilting at windmills trying to get Ford to do something. BTW my '16 Ti is the same with unpredictable braking, especially at parking lot speeds and I don't have adaptive cruise, lane departure or any of that. I've just been waiting for summer to leave and the garage to cool off to do a pad swap (all four). Cheers!

While that makes a lot of sense (most passenger car lug nuts are torqued somewhere around 75 ft lbs give or take) I'd contact McGard directly to ask for their recommendation. Meanwhile, if you already have the locking lugs on or want to add them it's doubtful there were be any harm in torquing the lock to 75 and your other four lugs to 160. It would really suck to torque those locks all the way up to 160 then have the key snap off when you were trying to remove one by the side of the road.....in the dark....in the rain....on your anniversary

Hey AK, Thanks for educating me. For some reason I thought there was MFT and 'then' the various sync numbers. Apologies to Dborg for the misinformation.

Deleted erroneous information.

I don't remember where I saw it or I'd offer a link but....on one of the Edge forums someone had removed the cup holder panel from the console (just pull up) and removed the plastic tubing that acts as the spring. If I recall correctly he just pulled it back off of those 'claws' fixing the issue you're describing. It'd be easy to do or undo (if you don't like the fix).

The photos were posted in early 2014, around the time PhotoBucket started locking out pics shared on forums. The OP might also have removed them from that service by now. Try connecting with WhiteKnight08 directly to see if that user still has the pics.

This is a classic case of not getting enough information to make a diagnosis in the beginning. At this point I'm going with bad thermostat. It's typical to have coolant boil out if the vehicle isn't moving if the thermostat is stuck shut or partially shut. Go the easy route first though and check the fans.

It's helpful if those posting a question/problem would offer some details. In this case, which engine? If you have the 3.5L you're probably in big expensive trouble after driving 'two' radiators worth of coolant into the oil pan. If it's another engine you might be dribbling coolant as you go but you'd probably notice that (by smell alone) or you've sprung a leak in your heater core and your carpet is soaked with coolant (again, you'd smell it). So, which engine and, as already suggested, check your dipstick.

Great effort! One suggestion, time is also a factor with lubricants, particularly engine oil as it has to deal with fuel and other contaminants. Suggested oil changes are (depending on service/driving habits/oil type) 5k-10k miles or one year. Some still change oil at 3k but they're probably still using that 20th century dino stuff while others will argue their synthetic will run 15k or more. You're just not going to win that one You'll want to consult tire manufacturer websites but I believe rotations are recommended every 5k miles and replacement every 5-6 years.
