rags Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Just heard on the news that Ford is going back to knobs & levers for climate control. I have had no trouble with navigation or the phone, a small problem with audio, but the climate control is absolutely horrible. Many times I have wished mine had levers and knobs. Auto function is useless. 30 degrees outside and I have climate on auto, I start vehicle and the blower goes to full blast, should not do that until coolant has warmed up. 40 degrees outside, start vehicle and the air conditioner is comes on. In fact air can come on at anytime on its own. Every time I start vehicle I have to change something on the touch screen pertaining to climate control. Really like the vehicle with the exception of the climate control and filling the fuel tank issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limited59 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Auto function is useless? I couldn't disagree more.... I have never had mine off auto - ever. None of the behaviours you are describing. Maybe some sort of sensor or computer issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpufixer1 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 This could be cured by an update if Ford wished. I also agree with this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimp Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I've also found "AUTO" to be problematic and annoying at times. I probably go to manual inputs about 50% of the time. I still love my Edge, but of all the vehicles I've owned in my life, going back to a 1976 Pinto, this is the only one that has ever made me say "what the ****!" a couple of times a month. I'm glad that Ford is trying new things, but also that they pay attention and adjust their technology if things don't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davom97 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 "Auto" only screws up for me when it is really hot outside. When the temp is above 90 degrees, it pretty consistently won't blow hard no matter how far I drop the temp. Crazy that when I need it most, it's not there for me.
