  1. Is it push button start, or key start (not all Limited have Intelligent Access with push button start)? If the key fully turns in the cylinder enough to lock or unlock it, and it isn't, then it seems like the key cylinder linkage isn't hooked up. I suppose I would first try lubing up the key cylinder and latch with a spray (even WD-40 would help short term and clean it up). Even with vehicles I rarely, if ever open using the key, I still do it once a month (less with my Edge since it has a cover over it that is prone to breaking eventually, but is more protected), and once it starts getting rough I clean them up.
  2. The Edge got a new engine configuration with a new block in MY 2019 (other vehicles got a revised block mid year 2019). The new 2.0 it got has things like an EGR cooler (which was problematic first couple of years, with a leak and TSB), and the block no longer has slits to the head, as you mention, but a round port.
  3. The AC plug in has been handy a couple of times, but it is so limited. It is prone to kicking things plugged in (I have a very short 90 degree plug to move wall warts away so they don't get kicked). My 2019 has a 12v power port there, not the type c ports, but plenty of type c and type a adapters that sit flush in there.
  4. It is standard on your 2023 Titanium, so it has it. Do you have the factory optional towing package or a dealer or aftermarket tow hitch installed? Some people disconnect the sensors because they don't like it.
  5. According to the 2024 order guide: SE/SEL/Titanium get "2 way" up and down only adjustable head restraints ST-Line and ST get "4 way" up and down and forward and back adjustable head restraints. 2020 was the last year for seemingly all series to have 4 way adjustable head restraints. 2021 ST-Line, Titanium, and ST had 4 way (SE and SEL had 2 way) 2022-2024 ST-Line and ST get 4 way, (SE, SEL, Titanium had 2 way)
  6. They were put on by the dealership before I bought it. They are not great tires but I guess they aren't bad either. I won't be replacing them with the same tires. They are pretty greasy in the heat and not great in standing water. They have 42,000 miles on them and probably be done in another 10k miles. So no matter that the share the name with the vehicle, it isn't enough to get them!
  7. Just a 100 day update (only at 101,500 miles, only 5k miles on new brakes, it was down for the transmission for too long). Got the $65 rebate check ($130 since I did 2 kits), with a check that is good until 4/11/2025 (so less than a month, hah, I digitally deposited it already). My normal driving environment is pretty flat, but so far no issues in normal driving (even near emergency stops), using Adaptive Cruise with Stop and Go also. Maybe it will creep once more when the car in front is stopped, but I think it always did this, making me wonder if it would stop creeping. Went to the mountains for vacation. Not sure if it is the new pads all around, the new rotors, or the larger rotors, but I was pretty aggressive in my use of them coming down passes, and no sign of chatter from them over heating. Last time I did this with the 80-90k brakes they chattered until cooled off every time Adaptive Cruise would apply the whoa, or I would aggressively due to traffic. I had to both use sport mode, and 4 bars for adaptive cruise to stop it from overheating them frequently. The rotors, with the shiny coating, look great. the OEM ones had a dull grey coating that still looked okay, stuff doesn't really rust where I live, rotors do but not heavily. I will likely paint them red next time it isn't in use for a day, which is hard to come by.
  8. My 2019 did that when I put in some very cheap straight from China LED turn signal bulbs in the front. They supposedly were "canbus ready" but at $3 for the pair too good to be true. I couldn't stand the out of sequence fast blink inside. On my 2019 those are basically the only incandescent bulb besides the license plate light, but your 2014 mostly has incandescent bulbs. Are any of them replaced with LEDs?
  9. Ford has had different definitions of excessive oil consumption over the years. For my 2000 Grand Marquis with the 4.6 they considered 1 quart every 1000 miles to be okay (it isn't). Not until I got to the 275,000 mile range would it use a quart every 3,000 miles (I considered this okay given the miles, I would add 1/2 a quart at 3,000 and change it at 5,000). For the 2.7 they consider 1 quart every 3,000 miles to be normal, any more is excessive (I would find 1 qt/3000 miles to be excessive). Even with my turbo 1.5 and 2.0 engines, up to 150,000 miles, I don't see even 1/4 a quart in 7,000 miles consumption. I think my 3.5 in my 2012 Fusion, at 148,000 miles is finally using enough to detect it on the dipstick, but not enough to need to add between the 7500-10,000 change interval. On the 3.5 I check the oil more regularly for coolant from the water pump, but at 100,000 miles on my Edge (2019 2.0) I am checking it every couple of tanks of fuel.
  10. Auto hold - When enabled (in a supported vehicle...) and you come to a complete stop, you can then let your foot off the brake, and the vehicle remains stopped until you give it gas. hill start assist - If the vehicle senses you are on an incline, when you release the brake pedal it holds the vehicle for a few seconds or until you give it gas, allowing you time to get your foot from from the brake to the gas. Stop and Go Adaptive Cruise - if stopped behind another vehicle, while brake is pressed, pressing RES + will put it in stop mode. You can release the brake and it will stay until you press RES+ or give it gas (and the vehicle in front you is moving), then it will go on its own with the space you set from the car in front of you, up to the speed you have set.
  11. My 2017 Escape came with Global Up enabled, but in one of the SSM, CSP, TSB, or recall issues unrelated to it disabled it. I had gotten used to it, as my older 2012 Fusion only had down, and with out fail I would have to run out and put them up and close the sun roof, but my 2015 Fusion I could do it from the remote, and 2017 to begin with I could also.
  12. What part of the issue? The supposed low oil pressure shutting off the car (it doesn't) The car shutting off? The car hard to start after fueling it? The 2 different fault codes? The remaining issue the OP posted was likely the purge valve.
  13. 2021 they deleted the chrome tip exhaust for SE and SEL, so the tailpipes are expected. However that valance/trim shouldn't have the exhaust cut outs, it should be straight across the bottom. None of the media site or brochures show anything but Titanium or ST, so no good Ford official views of the SE/SEL. It likely has been replaced for some reason, could be just it was damaged, or there was more extensive work done. This is what it should look like:
  14. Since it is a 2019, and it is not an ST, it has the 8 speed 8F35. While there is a reprogram available for it, you likely wouldn't be able to tell if it has been done or not, not on a test drive, or even short term ownership. The indication of the issue is stated as: So if you detect that, it might not have been done yet, that is what you would be on the look out for.
  15. The ST doesn't have the 8F35 (it is the 8F57). That linked document is about a reprogram, that doesn't skip a gear. Only the 2021+ ST is programmed to skip 2nd gear, effectively making it a 7 speed transmission. The gear ratios between the 8F35 and 8F57 are different.
