Test drove one a few months ago and really liked it, but just didn't have enough power for me.
Ended up buying a Trackhawk. Fast forward a few months and the wife wants a smaller SUV with ample trunk space. The Edge ST fit the bill. Fully loaded with the useless brake package.
Pics coming soon. Anyone have one? They are fun to drive!

I know its not an "ST" model but a few people have the older 2015+ Edge Sport model which the ST is based on. Tune it for sure. Thing will absolutely fly with an Unleashed 93 tune on it.

I just grabbed the CP-E rear motor mount for our Edge Sport since the factory mount is a huge sponge. Was $177 shipped with a discount code they had on instagram.

I had 8 Explorers over the years and decided to go a bit smaller but wanted something fun. This fit the bill.
Haven't tuned it yet but it's on the list.

Car would go into limp mode due to "overheat malfunction" (Car has 4800 miles on it, and driven by my wife who drives like a old lady)
Car never actually would get hot, so they would keep replacing sensors, unable to duplicate the problem. At this point I dont trust the car for trips.
Nothing like doing 20 mph on 495, trying to get home from R.I. to Ma on a Sunday night with the family in the car!

Not sure the tune would fix the CEL that keeps happening.

You do have a good point; This does sound like something that won't necessarily get better with a tune. The Edge ST is a great performing crossover, so don't give up on it just yet! This almost sounds like an issue somewhere within the wiring, based on how hard of a time the dealership is having with duplicating/diagnosing the problem.

What kind of gains can be had from a "safe" tune, ie. 93 octane

It is a lemon and the dealer knows.
I was told the process would go quickly now.
Will keep everyone posted!
They have 2 on the lot, I would assume I will be taking one of those.

Still waiting for FORD to get their head out of their ass.
Will hire attorney next week if they keep dragging their feet.
My dealer has been nothing but helpful and has always gone above and beyond for me.

Buddy just bought one and had help PBD tune it. My buddy is a tuner as well for XFI and Big Stuff 3 so him and Rob were working together on some improvements. Picked up like 80 hp. Geez blown motor that sounds odd.

UPDATE

Ford is doing a buyback.
Almost a month before you knew what Ford would do. So no communication from Ford corporate during these past 3 weeks? None between dealer and corp? Did the dealer give you a loaner?

Well, at least now you know Ford is doing a buy-back. How long before this will be settled and you'll be in a new Edge? Assuming you going with an Edge.
