Chipster Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) I suspect that by now owners of 2015-17 Edge / MKX have thought about some things that they would have loved to have added or changed about their second gen vehicle. If you have some add or change to the features of your current second gen Edge / MKX let's hear them. So far my only real change would be to have the back seats lie completely flat when folded down.

akirby Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 2016 MkX Reserve: Fold flat front passenger seat - really miss that one (had it on the 2008 Edge) when hauling long stuff. The front power point is very hard to find/use. Would like to be able to disable the front/side parking aid sensors permanently. It goes on in drive-thrus and other situations when it isn't needed. The turning radius could be improved. Wish the electronic ride control was available on FWD vehicles, but can't complain about the standard ride quality. All in all pretty minor things.

blitz118 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I would like to see the below features added to the Edge Sport, but I don't think I'll see any of those features until the next generation Edge. Pedestrians detection assist Traffic jam assist 9-speed transmission Upgraded stero Power folding mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidceder Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I would like to see the seats improved for comfort. I know this is a personal issue but the MKX has some great seats. I think the Edge seat could be improved with minimal cost. I would like to see turn by turn window pane on the NAV system available as a top level option, instead of digging into menus. Sometimes I just want to see how the NAV is routing me. Scan on the Radio would be nice to have. Makes it simple to find stations as you move down the road. An easy way to disable the double horn honk if you walk away from the car while it is running and all the doors are closed. I am a big boy it should be my choice if I want it or not. Especially if the car has keypad entry. Other than these little things I think the car is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Just don't close the door and the horn won't honk. I don't like it either but I also don't like the possibility of my wife driving off without a key and being stranded somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never faced a problem that honking would at me would solve with my 2011 MKX that doesn't honk on me when closing the door without a key inside.

I don't like it either but I also don't like the possibility of my wife driving off without a key and being stranded somewhere. It still honks with the door open and you leave the car. Happens to me often when I get out to grab something from my garage and leave my door open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingNut Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Thus why push button start and most of this electronic crap is for the birds. LOL no. Not having to mess with a key is nice. The problem is their alert system for when you leave the car running with the key in your pocket is annoying. Do like Lexus does...two quick beeps. Not horn honks. Just two beeps. The way Ford has this makes everyone around think you are honking at them because of how loud. Just "Chirp Chirp" would be sufficient.

I never faced a problem that honking would at me would solve with my 2011 MKX that doesn't honk on me when closing the door without a key inside. The biggest reason would be if you had the only key and your spouse dropped you off somewhere and left. Without the honk the driver may not realize the key is gone and if they get to another location and shut off the engine for more than 20 seconds they're stranded. Also to prevent people (elderly I presume) from leaving the engine running accidentally, although there is a 30 minute engine shutoff now to prevent that.

davidceder Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Sorry I started this whole thing. . Making it selectable is the solution. I like the chime thing also. By the way if the passenger has their FOB and the driver leaves with the door open, does it still honk? I could go test it but easier to ask here.

akirby Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 No it won't honk as long as it detects a key in the vehicle - in any seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermans Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I would go back to global open/close like my FFH had and MY MKZh has. I use that option all the time in the Lincoln. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipster Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 As an addendum to my above item; I would add that it would have been nice to have the option of ordering a roof rack with cross bars like those found on the Explorer.

Ginger Smith Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'd like to see an option package for the Titanium just like the 302A but substitute the drivers package for the panoramic moonroof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doinit10 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Take the panoramic roof out of the 301A and 320A package and make stand alone item as in SEL and Sport trims. Not everyone wants a $1600 item they won't use along with those packages. While I'm wishing, the driver display like the Explorer Platinum or the UK Edge Vignale so we can have a large tach and a temp guage always on display. More eco in ecoboost. Maybe an 8, 9 or 10 speed tranny would help. (Anxious to see if 2017 F-150 with 10 speed will help mileage and performance.) 2.3l ecoboost for base engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goatee Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I would like the ability to delete the power panoramic sunroof (with credit) from option packages 301A or 302A. The power panoramic sunroof is not right for everyone. Please consider this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason (jmr061) is a member on this forum, and was able to make a mod to disable the double honk feature on some other Ford vehicles, including the MKX. Maybe he also do it for the Edge. This is a link to specific mod on his website: http://www.fordpimods.com/double-horn-honk.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjonis Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 While I don't own an Edge yet (still a maybe, I've gotta wait until I pass probation at work in Nov.). Fog Lights Cooled seats that actually work "around" view camera (like the Kia/Hyundai) Fold Flat front passenger seat Proximity opener for rear hatch (like Kia/Hyundai) instead of trying to balance on one foot while you have heavy package/box in hands.
