Transfer Case problems of the 2010 Ford Edge

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle made an abnormal clanging sound, jerked, and hesitated to respond. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact also stated that the vehicle would fail to reverse upon placing the gear shifter reverse. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the failure was diagnosed as a defective transfer case. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that his VIN was not subjected to a recall for the transmission. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA for further assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

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!!!.
