My car has been leaking oil for years, but no one could find a leak in our oil system. We were just told we have a cracked transfer case by the Ford dealership.

It started with a burnt oil smell that could be smelt inside the vehicle once in a while. Then little by little grinding noises started to be heard from underneath the vehicle after slowing down from a higher speed. The vehicle then started making a noise when steering and a rattling noise underneath the vehicle. Once in a while and then started bagging when I would go to accelerate. The noise is made from underneath the vehicle were intermittent sometimes they would do it and sometimes they would not and many times they got very loud. You could hear the noise while driving and more so while slowing down to a stop. All of a sudden the vehicle would bigger forward when giving a little gas. Was just may able to make it home before it was no longer drive-able. This is only a 6 1/2yr. Old vehicle with 76,000 miles. Appears to be major problem with transfer case, rear differential, and transmission.

The vehicle began emitting a smell intermittently, which was later determined to be gear oil from the transfer case. Eventually, the car began to make a grinding sound while steering and stopping until the transfer case blew up and destroyed the transmission. The transfer case and transmission were replaced, was told that this transfer case was an "issue" in these cars. After repair, the car began to make noises again, gear oil smells in the passenger cabin, and subsequently, the transfer case again blew up, filling the passenger cabin with smoke and disabling the vehicle on a major highway less than 100 miles after previous repair. Transfer case replaced again, was driven by the mechanic for 26 miles, and again blew up leaving the vehicle disabled. The true failure appears that the car is failing to switch from awd to fwd when it gets up to high speeds causing repeated failures to the entire system and disabling the car putting me and my family at risk each time. Ford is aware that this is an issue. The parts department has dozens of transfer cases and rear differentials available to continue replacing and they know that they are putting their customers at risk. My transfer cases failures happened on a city street (1st time) turning left, major highway @ 70mph going straight down a hill and coasting (2nd time), city street going straight (3rd time). This is a dangerous situation and needs to be resolved with on multiple awd vehicles that Ford has made with this system.

The mechanic said the transmission and transfer case exploded costing me over $2,000 in repairs. The ac quit costing around $700 in repairs. The cd/radio has an electrical issue that has not been fixed because I can't afford it estimated at another$700 in repairs.

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!!!.

I notice oil leaking I put on jack stands to examine so I did some research and I have what's called the ptu which is part of the transfer case for the awd it appears there is an inner seal and outer seal. It looks like it's the outer seal leaking from the ptu the side that the cv axle is on connected to passenger tire. I called Ford and they want 1200-1500 dollars to fix a seal thats not recalled. It's known to be happening to all Ford Edges I have no warranty on the vehicle which makes it harder to afford to pay for the repair.

About 3 weeks ago my 2007 Ford Edge began to leak a fluid which I thought may have been transmission fluid. Once I noticed the leak I stop driving the vehicle. I took it into the local Ford dealer (where I purchased the vehicle) and I was told I needed to have the transfer case replaced. This is very expensive repair so I decided to see if this issue had occurred in other 2007 Ford Edges. The problem seems to be very prevalent but Ford has decided to levy this expense to the customer rather than admit there is a real issue with this vehicle's drivetrain. I would like to challenge Ford to do what Mazda has done with the "sister" vehicle and cover the cost of this repair.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v682000 (fuel system, gasoline) and stated that the parts were not available. The dealer did not provide a specific date for when the parts would become available. In addition, the contact noticed the presence of a leak under the vehicle and indicated that it was near the transfer case and the axle. The vehicle was not inspected or diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.

The 2007 Ford Edge awd 93,000 miles developed a slight humming in the front end, it actually sounded like a cupped tire or a wheel bearing. We immediately called our mechanic and had it inspected. Upon inspection he informed us that the ptu was ruined, we have had this vehicle from new and serviced it as required and only drive it on the highway approx 45 miles per day. It turns out that the ptu (transfer case) overall has a issue with the seals that hold the fluid (outer seal=gear oil, inner seal= tranny fluid) inside the unit, the mechanic said that he's done so many of the seal replacements that at one point that was all he was doing in a day at the dealership. The real issue is that when the seal goes you can't tell because it leaks directly onto the exhaust and burns off as your driving. If we were informed of the leaky seal we could have had the seals replaced for about $200, but unfortunately we found out the hard (expensive) way $2000. Im a person that takes car maintenance very seriously, we have a construction company and have had about 14 different Ford models over the years, and its becoming more apparent any Ford built after 2004 is filled with issues (to me factory defects) that they aren't taking responsibility for. I wish I was notified of the issue with the seal as I would have about $ 1800 dollars more in my bank account.

To whom it may concern, I have noticed numerous 2007 Ford Edge owners with the same issue I had recently, leaking transfer case ptu unit. I also noticed this same issue is happening with Lincoln's and Mazda's of same model type. I believe Mazda has offered owners some sort of compensation/recall/extended warranty for this manufactured defect. My question is what is Ford going to do about this very expensive repair that owners have to pay for that is a manufacturer defect? I did have it replaced for a pretty penny and now I hear a clanking noise when I turn that was not there before the repair. Sincerely, very concerned and frustrated loyal customer.

Persistent smell and leaking transfer case that spread throughout under side of the vehicle and all over my driveway. Verified through Ford dealership: ptu fluid leaking from the input shaft seal and from upper vent port. Fluid sample dirty/gritty with metal. Costly repair/replacement charge of ptu assembly, close to $1500. I'm putting in this complaint because I heard a lot of people experiencing similar issue with this make, model and year. Please consider investigating, and if this happened to someone else please put in your complaint so it will go to investigation, thank you!.

My 2009 Ford Edge started to shift hard a few months ago. I noticed that at times the car would lurch forward when starting out and knock into the gear. . About two weeks ago the car started to whine at speeds around 50mph. Last weekend there was a metal scraping sound when driving. My mechanic has diagnosed this as a transfer case problem. The unit needs to be replaced at 1600 dollars. After doing research, I have found that this is a know Ford problem and have found many many complaints by consumers. This should be a recall by the manufacturer since it is obviously a problem that many people are having.

We noticed an oil like substance leaking from underneath the front end of the car. We took it to a Ford dealership and they told us it was the transfer case needed to be replaced. Not only is it a $1500 repair but it is a common problem happening to Ford Edge's years 2007 - 2011. Sounds to me like a recall should be made on this part. We caught ours early, so not sure what could've happened if we continued to drive ours around.

Leaked fluid overheated transfer case. No warning other than very small drip. Extended warranty will not cover damages.

Gas tank seal corroded. Mechanic was inspecting car when he found that besides the transmission transfer case needed to be replaced, the gas tank was leaking gas. It appears the seal is corroded. I was told that the new tank was approximately 1500. (just the part) and about 600. In labor. I feel that this should be repaired free of charge by Ford, this should not happen on a vehicle that is only 6 years old. I can only put about 5 gallons of gas in, not to exceed just under the half tank mark. Also, cannot park car on anything but a level surface.

Purchased a 2007 Ford Edge roughly about a year ago, have had no problem with the vehicle. It was my dream car since I was 18, being 24 and finally having one was a dream come true. I started experiencing a whining noise upon driving down the road one day. I proceeded to pull over thinking it was a belt. It wasn't so I continued to go down the road. Bringing it to my mechanic he told me its the transfer case within the car itself. I tried calling Ford because of this common defect to have it replaced. They would not assist in the replacement of their mistake. I now owe $1500.

The power take off unit (transfer case) developed a leak on the right hand side. The leak drips onto the exhaust pipe creating smoke and an awful smell. This could result in a fire.

My 2007 Ford Edge all wheel drive has a leaking problem from the transfer case. It has had this problem since the day it was new. Several visits to the dealer I was told it is not leaking although there was always oil on my drive. I own an auto repair shop so I had it in the shop and knew without a doubt it was leaking. What makes it dangerous is the leak drips directly on the exhaust pipe which is right below the transfer case. You can smell burning oil and it smokes a lot of times when stopping at stop signs. The dealer has went as far as replacing the transfer case. That fixed the problem for a few months but the leak always comes back. I have researched the problem and on Fordedgeforum. Com have found many owners having the same problem. I am afraid Ford is not able to find a permanent fix for the problem and someone is going to get burned. I have read of these vehicles catching on fire but have not heard the cause. This leak could be causing it. In my own repair shop I have noticed customer vehicles have the same leak as mine. Something needs to be done about it. This affects the 2007 and 2008 Ford Edge and Lincoln mkx models that are all wheel drive and have a transfer case or "ptu unit. ".
