JohnRR Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 My wife and I traded in our old 2007 Edge SEL with 180K miles. It was the best car we have ever owned! So, now we have this beautiful new 2020 Edge SEL and we love it! But, there are a few things I would like to fix. 1) The horn doesn't really blast, it just toots. Has anyone added a second horn? Is there wiring in place for a 2nd horn? Would it be ok to add 2 loud aftermarket horns? 2) Is there a way to add a light inside the glove box? It's very difficult to find anything in there at night. 3) I wish that the cargo area had an overhead light instead of the single one on the lower right side. As soon as I load 1 suitcase on the right, it gets dark back there! 4) I wish the Nav System would place the car location icon closer to the bottom of the screen. That way, it would show more "Look-ahead" data so I would know what's coming up sooner, and what lane I should be in. Things I like about the new model: 1) I really like the adaptive cruise control, especially the lane centering feature. Although it "Dings" at me a lot, even when I have both hands are on the wheel. 2) My wife and I really like the foot control sensor for the rear hatch. 3) It took us awhile to get used to the rotary shift knob, but now we like it! 4) The little 2 liter turbo 4-cylinder feels more powerful than the old 3.5 liter V6. 5) We have been averaging around 26-27 MPG on long trips. The old Edge was getting around 21 MPG on long trips and would quickly drop to 16 MPG around town. 6) The new Edge feels bigger inside than the old 2007 model. Overall, we're very happy with our new 2020 Ford Edge! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Congrats on your new ride. Hope you enjoy it to the fullest. 1 hour ago, JohnRR said: 1) The horn doesn't really blast, it just toots. Has anyone added a second horn? Is there wiring in place for a 2nd horn? Would it be ok to add 2 loud aftermarket horns? A few members have already fixed that. The problem is Ford started to put only a single horn in 2019, the solution is to install the 2015-2018 model horn. See this thread. Sorry, I can't help on your other questions. For 2 & 3 there will probably be solutions for them, don't remember someone mentioning them though. For 4, that is probably not possible due to the Sync programming.

Leslee68 Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 I own a 2020 Ford Edge sel with 70049 miles and I love my vehicle. However, as I was driving to work the other day a power steering failure came on my dash. I made it on to work but when I went to start vehicle after work (it started no problem) I had power steering, lane assist and hill assist warnings on my dash and the steering wheel could not be moved. I had to have it towed to local Ford dealership and the pscm (power steering control module) has to be replaced at a cost of $2,976.05. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubster100 Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 Failure Modes When a DTC is present in the PSCM, the EPAS enters 1 of 2 modes of operation. The EPAS system enters a reduced steering assist mode to protect the internal components of the EPAS system when a concern is detected by the PSCM such as low or high battery voltage or over-temperature concerns not considered to be a critical safety concern. This reduced steering assist mode gives the steering a heavier than normal feel. The EPAS system enters a manual steering mode (no electrical steering assistance is provided) when a concern considered to be a critical safety concern is detected. In manual steering mode, the vehicle has mechanical steering operation only, which gives steering operation a heavy feel. There are 3 failure strategies used by the PSCM for determining failure modes. The first strategy is limp home; when the PSCM detects a fault requiring the EPAS to switch to a failure mode, the PSCM calculates a "safe" level of torque assist and provides this assist until the ignition is cycled. If the fault remains during the next ignition cycle, the PSCM switches to manual steering mode until the fault is repaired. If the fault is not present during the next ignition cycle, the PSCM resumes normal operation and steering assist. The next strategy is limp aside; similar to the limp home strategy except the limp aside strategy can recover normal steering assist during the same ignition cycle if the fault is no longer present or the ignition is cycled. If the fault is still present, the PSCM switches to manual steering mode until the fault is repaired. The last strategy is ramp down; the PSCM uses all the various inputs to calculate a torque output command to provide steering assist, if the module cannot calculate this output, it uses the last known good torque command to provide steering assist until the PSCM completely removes assist and switches to manual steering mode until the fault is repaired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
