Noise started come from my driver side tire. Started to jeft while moving from idle. Took it to the mechanic and he said it was the power transfer unit. Car only has 81,500 miles on it. Looked around and it seems this is a very common complaint with this model car. As found here http://gotaclassaction.com/15796-2/

The ford edge has developed a problem with the pdu unit which actually failed. According to the ford mechanics this is a chronic problem with some of the failures causing the units to split open redendering the vehicle inoperable. If the vehicle cannot be driven if failure occurs when driving it could easily cause an accident in some circumstances. Luckily if one is very observant and notices the unit leaking oil…

When putting the vehicle into park after driving it the vehicle will not acknowledge the car is in park. The vehicle is in fact in park and will not move, but the park indicator light will not light up and the car will not shut off until 20 seconds to several minutes when it finally figures out that it is in park.

My truck displays "shift to park" when in park and the indicator is not illuminated whether the engine is off or on. I had to replace a battery due to this problem. Even though the car is off the electronics stay on drawing power because it's not sensing the vehicle is in park. This problem is widely known and ford has a tsb for the shifter but no recall. I've had nothing but problems with this vehicle and will not…

Sounds like the axel is falling completely off completely disengaging from the front driver side wheel. After consulting with local dealership, they stated it appears the axel is coming out of the transmission due to some valve. Dealership stated it is not covered on the same recalls as the other 2013s though it appears it is the same issue.

When you are stopped and 'shift to park' and push the button to turn off the vehicle, it dings keeps telling me to 'shift to park'. You need to continue turning off and on and moving the gear shifter between park and drive to finally get it to turn off. I see online that this has been an ongoing problem with some awd vehicle from ford. *tr

There is a sudden loss of power while driving, the engine idles roughly, and the accelerator stops working - this is all while in the process of driving the car. There were complaints filed back in 2013 and a lawsuit related to other ford vehicles regarding this issue (defective electronic throttle control). This model and year, however, is not part of the group ford agreed to fix and there was never a formal…
