According to a ford dealership the ptu (power transfer unit) on my edge needs to be replaced. Problem is that ford has known about this for 10 years. This issue affects model years 2007 through 2017. Is there anything that can be done from a recall perspective? I was advised not to drive with this condition. I became aware of the issue while driving around town and on the expressway. Significant vibration, grinding,…

From both a stop or after slowing down and upon accileration, the transmission will slip and then catch real hard. It does it when i start from a stopped position and it also does it when i slow down for traffic on the freeway then try to get back up to speed. When it catches it feels like the car has been hit hard from the rear. This is not during a fast start or fast accileration, it is from just normal driving,…

2010 ford edge awd transfer case just failed 01/30/19 approx. 85,000 miles. We have had all oil service done at ford dealer. They advertise they check and top off all fluids i guess they missed a few. We just had it to the dealer prior to our warranty ending in november 2018 for engine oil leak and other items to be repaired. If this has been a problem that ford has been aware of why weren't the dealers at least…

Hearing a "coins in a can " sound coming from the car as you are driving it. Found out it to be the power transfer unit. In doing some research on this, it looks like there are thousands of people who have complained and reported this same issue. I would like to know why there wasn't a recall created for this issue and replacement as this is a costly $2000 part. Not cost effective for our cars that are older and…

Ford edge is having a multi year problem with the awd ptu (power transfer unit)...ford says that the fluid in the ptu is a lifetime fluid, meaning it doesn't ever have to be changed...it does not even have a drain plug...but it is installed very close to the exhaust system, which overheats the fluid every time it is driven...eventually the fluid turns to a solid grease like gunk that wears down the gears and…

I was attempting to park on a steep incline in san francisco on a rainy day, because i was aware that my vehicle tends to roll backwards upon releasing the brake (even when in drive), i decided to not park in that spot and was very careful to shift into drive and gun the gas so the car would move forward and not roll back into anything behind me. I had successfully used this technique before, but this time gunning…

They had replaced a sensor on the last visit but yet again today the light came back on and…
