Problem overview

Some Ford Edge owners report experiencing recurring Power Transfer Unit (PTU) failures, which can lead to costly repairs and fluid leaks due to seal failures over time. Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding a PTU recall, with owners questioning the reasons for it, repair processes, and potential impacts on vehicle performance. Engine problems are also frequently reported, including engine failure, stalling, rough idling, excessive oil consumption, and coolant leaks that can cause overheating, particularly in EcoBoost models. Furthermore, electrical issues are common, with repair costs averaging around $300 after 66,000 miles. Beyond PTU and electrical problems, owners have noted transmission issues, brake failures, steering and suspension concerns, airbag malfunctions, water leaks, and fuel system failures. These issues underscore the necessity for regular maintenance and prompt attention to any signs of trouble to avoid expensive repairs and ensure the longevity of the Ford Edge.
