2010 Ford Edge

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 NOTIFIED TO INSPECT AND CHECK THE FLUID IN TRANSFER CASE. IS FORD GOING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM OR LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AND MYSELF I WILL BE STUCK WITH A REPAIR BILL OF $2500.00 - $3500.00 THIS IS NOT WRIGHT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

TOOK CAR IN JUST TO HAVE TIRES CHANGED AND AFTER I LEFT VEHICLE SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING AS WELL AS A HOWLING NOISE WHEN I WENT UP THE HIGHWAY. ON TOP OF ALL THIS IT HAD A DRAG WHICH DAILY HAD GOTTEN WORSE. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO WHERE I HAD THE TIRES PUT ON AND THEY SAID THINGS DO GO WHEN YOU PUT SOMETHING NEW ON CAR. THEY CHECK THE CAR AND SAID I NEED INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS. THEY DO THE WORK, NEVER TEST DROVE THE CAR AND I LEAVE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I BRING IT BACK IMMEDIATELY AND NOW THEY SAY, "YOUR TRANNY IS WHINING SO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION PLACE. MAYBE YOUR PUMP ISN'T WORKING IN TRANNY." I TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION PLACE AND THEY DIAGNOSE IT. THE POWER TRANSFER CASE IS SHOT!! CAN'T EVEN FIX IT, GEARS ARE ALL BURNT OUT ETC, NEEDS A NEW ONE TO THE TUNE OF $1900.00. THIS CAR JUST TURNED 70,000 MILES. I WENT ON COMPUTER AND COULDN'T BELIEVE THE INFO I GOT AS FAR AS THIS HAPPENING TO SO MANY PPL. SAME MAKE AND MODEL, SOME ONLY HAD 50,000 MILES ON THEIR CAR. UNBELIEVABLE, NO RECALL, AND FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST 8 YRS.? THEY INSTALLED THIS CASE RIGHT NEXT TO EXHAUST WHICH GETS HOT AND EVAPORATES THE FLUID IN THIS CASE. FLUID THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE FOREVER FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. NO PLUG IN THESE BOXES SO NO ONE...EVEN YOUR MECHANIC WOULDN'T BE CHECKING IT'S FLUID. ALL THESE COMPLAINTS, FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SINCE CHANGE THE POWER TRANSFER CASES AND EVERYONE WITH THESE VEHICLES ARE STUCK WITH AN OUTRAGEOUS BILL!!! WE NEED A CLASS ACTION SUIT STARTED OVER THIS WHICH I'LL BE CHECKING INTO. SHAME ON YOU FORD. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS NAMED ONE OF THE SAFEST TO DRIVE BUT I'LL TELL YA, NO MORE FORDS FOR ME!!!

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 AREN'T WORTH BUT $5000 MAYBE.

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 BEARINGS AND MECHANICS SAY CAN EVEN LOCK UP THE DRIVE SYSTEM, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. INSTEAD OF A $75 LUBE JOB TO REPLACE THE GEAR FLUID, REPLACING THE PTU COSTS ANYWHERE FROM $1500 TO SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. MY FORD EDGE PTU JUST WENT BAD AND I'M NOW FINDING OUT THAT THOUSANDS OF EDGE OWNERS ARE BEING FACED WITH THIS DILEMMA ALSO...I STARTED TO HEAR THE GEARS GRINDING WHEN GOING INTO A TURN AND EVENTUALLY THERE WAS A CONSTANT GRINDING NOISE EVEN WHILE GOING FORWARD

ON OCTOBER 25, 2018 I PUT MY VEHICLE IN REVERSE WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. IT HIT THE CURB AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE WHICH CAUSE THAT VEHICLE TO HIT A BUILDING AND THEN MY VEHICLE CONTINUED IN REVERSE AND HIT ANOTHER CAR AND THEN CONTINUED UNTIL MY VEHICLE HIT A GMC TRUCK WHICH FINALLY STOPPED MY VEHICLE. DURING THIS ENTIRE EPISODE, I WAS UNABLE TO GET CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AT NO POINT WAS I ABLE TO USE MY BRAKES AS THEY DID NOT RESPOND. ALF THIS OCCURRED IN A SMALL COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT AND ALL VEHICLES INVOLVED WERE STATIONARY EXCEPT MINE.

2010 FORD EDGE TRASMISSION. AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN COME TO A STOP. WHEN YOU START TO GO AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT GOES TO NEUTRAL AND THEN SLAMS INTO DRIVE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES LESS THAN A SECOND TO CORRECT ITSELF AND SOMETIMES ITS 2-3 SECONDS BEFORE IT GOES. IT HAS HAPPEND ALMOST EVERY TIME WE DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY STIFF AND THE CONTACT HAD TO DOWNSHIFT. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE, THE GEAR SHIFT BECAME STUCK. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN THE DEALER'S POSSESSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000.
