A few weeks ago, i noticed there was a noise coming from somewhere that sounded like a wheel bearing, i took it to a few places to have it checked out. They came up with different things, finally i got to the right place and they figured out that it was the ptu. They said the seal had leaked all the oil out and destroyed the bearings. You don't know the oil is leaking out as it goes into the exhaust and evaporates.…

About 3 weeks ago my 2007 ford edge began to leak a fluid which i thought may have been transmission fluid. Once i noticed the leak i stop driving the vehicle. I took it into the local ford dealer (where i purchased the vehicle) and i was told i needed to have the transfer case replaced. This is very expensive repair so i decided to see if this issue had occurred in other 2007 ford edges. The problem seems to be…

I filed the original complaint (10680995) on february 3rd, but i wanted to edit or update it, but couldn't find the way, so i am taking the liberty to post a new one. It has been 2 and a half months since the incident and as a disgrace it has not been possible for the ford dealer in central america to get the computer module part. Can you imagine this amount of time without your vehicle, specially if it is your…

On january first when we were returning i started the car and noticed a shake and sputter, and i thought that it was probably a defective spark plug. I managed to drive out of where we were and as soon as we got to the main…

I have had an ongoing problem with the wrench looking light coming on then the vehicle loses power. When i push the gas you have to push the gas pedal all the way down to get it to creep to go to the side of the road. I have to pull over and shut the vehicle off when it restarts then the vehicle will go. This last time the vehicle got me stranded on the side of the road for 2.5 hours until the tow truck got there…

Generally, shortly after starting the vehicle sometimes i would come to a stop, and when i attempted to go the engine would rev but the car would not move. It was like it was in neutral, and there is an orange wrench that lights up on my dashboard. When placing the car back into park there would be a hard shift on the engine. After turning the car off for a few seconds and restarting, it would work like normal. It…

To whom it may concern, i have noticed numerous 2007 ford edge owners with the same issue i had recently, leaking transfer case ptu unit. I also noticed this same issue is happening with lincoln's and mazda's of same model type. I believe mazda has offered owners some sort of compensation/recall/extended warranty for this manufactured defect. My question is what is ford going to do about this very expensive repair…

I made it to work with a sluggish car and no speed over 32mph. Took to three places to have scanned and everywhere says there's…
