Anyone know why this happens? No surround signal being received ? (Ok, I'm guessing). On my THX system, the surround stays locked on, but reverts back to stereo as I rarely play any surround sound DVD's. (If fact I only own a few disks. Too difficult to find, too expensive. But great sound in 96 kHz/24 bit). Edited March 31, 2021 by enigma-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circatee Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Not fond of the fact that my EDGE ST does not have a heated steering wheel. Odd, because it virtually has all other options/perks. Rather weird. I miss that feature from my Mustang GT. Lastly, the exhaust sound. Honestly, why did Ford do what they did? Give me real sound, even more so since this is an ST. Probably just missing the sound of my GT... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc55 Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Just upgraded to a 2019 SEL from a 2011 model. Wasn't happy to discover the cargo floor/spare tire compartment cover is not attached with hinge like previous model. It seems to always move around and need to be readjusted when I fold the rear seats down. I bought a cargo bed liner which helps somewhat. I also wish they had figured out a way to make the seats fold to allow a completely flat cargo surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had the cold weather package it would have a heated steering wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Wedge Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 On the 14 SEL AWD that I inherited, it's an ok vehicle, decent in the winter months, pretty good power, (3.5) although you have to get it over 4 grand to get anywhere quickly! the 6 spd is just ok, doesn't really like to be hustled, but the absolute worst feature of the first gens, it the G.D steering wheel doesn't go low enough!!! it's like driving an over-the-road tractor, so actually that makes the telescopic part of the tilt system worthless also! Otherwise, it goes down the road good, gets around 22 combined mpg, good back seat space, and seating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceonept Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 There's not a lot I don't love about my Edge - other than Sync 3. It is unresponsive (it takes an age every day to load up GPS/Sat Nav) and is useless with any of my iPods, despite Ford's claims of compatibility. It is constantly freezing up, is very unresponsive, skips tracks, fails to display artwork and is forever "indexing" tacks. The old Sync 1 I had in my Mondeo worked absolutely perfectly with all four of my iPods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 7th gen Classic 160gb, a 6th gen Classic 120gb, a 2nd gen Touch and a 3rd gen Nano. The Classics don't really work at all and the Nano no more than about 15 minutes without crashing. The Touch is OK..ish but even that fails regularly. Edited April 21, 2021 by niceonept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it works fine with memory sticks. It's Sync3's incompatibility with iPods that's the issue, especially as Ford's earlier versions of Sync all worked fine.

Just need the steering wheel and the harness and a quick change via FORscan and you will be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vakilpaul2 Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) I have a 2009 Limited (fully loaded, almost every option). It has power driver and passenger seats, however, the seat backs are manual. You have to lift the lever and lean forward or back and release the lever to adjust the angle on the seat backs.

Agreed its annoying. I had a 2003 Expedition with power fold seats. Want to lower them press the button.... want to raise them push the button.... I guess Ford decided that they were saving monies across the board..... Don't think you're missing out on anything by getting a new model..... New model....same nonsense. Perhaps if one of the Nautilus owners sees this they can let us know if they have power rear seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was talking about the seat backs for the driver and passenger not the rear seats. On some models Ford went with manual seatbaks but power everything else. Very strange.

nbaever3 Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) I guess I’m easy to please. It is what it is. That’s how it was made. I don’t have any squeaks or rattles but that would be a bummer couldn’t stand that, One stupid light, down low on the right! Sheesh.

2019_EdgeST Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 compared to my previous 2016 Edge Sport, the exhaust note on this 2019 Edge ST is sadly lacking!! the 2016 Edge Sport exhaust sound was the best V6 that I've personally experienced. I've only had this one a week so might be back to this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Meant it to read power "seat-backs". I didn't remember the Edge offering power seat-backs. Only the Lincoln offered power seat-backs. Lincoln had 10-way front seats, Ford had 6-way power seats. Speaking of back seats, I can live with manual fold up rear seats, I wish they had designed them to lay flat (like in the Navigator).

seawolfxix Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 1. Apple CarPlay connection is unreliable. Sometimes it resolves by disconnecting the bluetooth and reconnecting via Ford’s touchscreen, and sometimes I have to reboot the phone entirely. A wired connection doesn’t even resolve the issue. 2. The heated seat controls on the touchscreen are sliders for some reason. It’s so obvious that these should be single-press controls for Low, Medium, & High settings, but Ford forces you to look away from the road for an extended period of time to actuate the sliders up and down. Terrible feature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLTEdge Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 My 2021 has been flawless. Only wish they left manual controls for seat heater and air conditioner. Using screen while moving can sometimes be a little tricky as you should be watching road not screen. Still trying to use voice to set controls, but sometimes not recognized properly. You know you can add a wireless backup camera right? Many options for where to put screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfiero Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 I have a 2019 edge st I have two things I don't "love" about this vehicle. The EXPLODER I traded in had power folding outside mirrors I sort of miss those. Two. My sound system doesn't want to play my iPod . it appears to play, but no sound comes out. that's ok, I don't use it anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
