Transfer Case Problems of Ford Taurus

I was driving at 45 miles an hour through town and without any warning the car stopped accelerating and then a loud bang. The transfer case detached right off the transmission and the transmission was damaged in the process.

Ford transfer case: the ptu of my 2013 Ford Taurus began to fail at 84000 miles. It is in the shop and being replaced. It is costing me $2000 out of pocket, because I didn't expect such a poor design. I started hearing a noise two weeks ago and took it to the dealership to be diagnosed (06/26/17). Thank god it didn't fail while I was on the highway!.

My Ford Taurus has awd. Today, I was informed that the power transfer unit (ptu) is leaking badly and must be replaced. The total cost estimate is $1700 including parts and labor. According to the dealer and confirmed by owner comments on the web, the ptu may need to be replaced after 80000 miles. If it is not repaired the unit will fail and the car will lockup and have to be towed to a mechanic for repair. The ptu is only used on vehicles with awd. My Taurus has 82500 miles on it. Needless to say, this is a defect. I purchased the car with the expectation that I should not expect a large repair bill for a broken part after 80k miles. Maintenance is one thing. A leaking power transfer case is quite another. If this is a known defect, Ford should be required to pay for repairs and take steps to redesign the ptu so that it doesn't fail after 6 years of use.
