Problem Reports

Currently at the dealer because a large fluid leak developed over two days. Dealer says it is a transmission seal leak and will cost $535 to fix. Waiting on the repairs now sounds like there are quite a few that have had the same problem. This is my Mothers car and she is 84 years old the 3 yr warranty expired in May this year wouldn't it figure. We know she has not been driving it hard so can't understand how a 3 year old car with less than 31k miles has a transmission seal go bad seems like a factory defect to me.

Ford eplorer xlt- Had the ptu seal replaced 3 times. Leaking oil every 45 days or so. First two times was told seal must have been bad. Finally they are admitting it may be more than the seal. Seal and car covered under warrantee. Part has a 90 day guarantee so haven't paid anything yet. Bought the car with this problem. The leak Issa slow I didn't realize it was a problem. Bought direct from a ford dealer. Car should have been problem free since it was certified.

I had a slow drip, just enough to stain my driveway. Then one day a grinding noise. The dealer diagnosed it as a failed PTU. The problem is, there are over 700 on backorder with NO DELIVERY DATE from Ford. My car has been out of commission for over two weeks now with no end in sight.

Sluggish respone while driving, went to dealer was charged 950 to replace PTU seals, Right axle (gears were stripped) transmission flush and reprogramming. worked ok for a 1 or 2 still not working great

2011 Edge Limited AWD - At about 15K miles, noticed drops of fluid on the garage floor and brought the vehicle to the dealer to have it checked. Dealer told me it was bad PTU seals that were not properly installed during the manufacturing process. It took them upwards of 2 weeks to get all necessary parts in and complete the repairs, which apparently consisted of replacing all seals in the immediate area around the leaking component. About 8 months later, I noticed that the vehicle had started leaking again - very distinct red fluid. At 27K miles, I started smelling a burning smell inside and out; inspecting the vehicle, I saw wisps of smoke coming up from underneath through the engine compartment. I could also see fluid seeping down onto what I believe is the exhaust manifold and smoking off. Very carefully brought the vehicle to the dealer service department where it now sits. Will update when I get word.
