Well it's only been a few weeks since I had the ptu seal replaced with the new parts, and today while diggin the snow out from my edge I notice some yellowish orangish maybe even pinkish fluid. I'm guessing this is the ptu again. I'm getting a little dissapointed with this crap,
I'm going to try and go to the dealer when the snow clears up. What a pain

well i`ve been monitoring mine since new, at about 11k kilometers it was certainly seaping out, but the level never changed and we only smelt it twice, but today at about 27k kilometers i thought the damn car was on fire!!! we pulled up to an intersection after about a 3 mile hwy run into town and the smoke was rollin out the LF of the car, and there was a light wind that pushed it into the HVAc intake and it filled the car with smoke, i have my wife and two small children in the back, we rolled down all the windows, i was just seconds away from ditching the car, this actually happened right in front of the dealer... so i guess shes going in ASAP.

I've had mine done roughly 3 weeks ago and so far no problem. I think the pinkish fluid is not PTU fluid. Please keep us posted....

Hey, just wanted to post an update. I have no leak and it has been almost 2 months since 4th repair. I hope I'm not jinxing myself, but I'm hoping they may actually have a fix for all of us this time. Ford appears they are going to step up to the plate on giving me peace of mind as well - which is the right thing to do. It actually got them a sale as my work car is up for replacement this spring and if they didn't make me happy I was going to another brand, but I'll be keeping with a Ford product. Took a lot of work on my and the dealer's part, but they overall wanted to keep me as a customer, so this appears to be the best thing for me, the dealer, and Ford.

After taking our Edge in for the "horrible smell" and having the service tech offer to "Deodorize" out Edge for $50 we decided to replace the cabin filter (which they told us "Some Edges have them and some don't and your Edge didn't come with a cabin filter"). That didn't work so I took it to another service tech who didn't even look at the car before ordering the PTU replacement seal. She called when the parts were in and had the PTU replaced in about 4 hours and gave us a free rental.

Why the second experience wasn't like the first I'll never know.

The smell is back and the fluid is leaking after the "new" seal kit was installed in January. Lasted 3 months, 3000 mi. Calling the service today. Wiil keep all updated.

Had the seals replaced 2nd time 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks, 500miles later, and 2 qts tranny fluid down, the seals are leaking again. Had it towed to dealer for 3rd repair. Awaiting a call back from Ford special care team representative to see how this can be resolved. I really have no confidence in any repair, no fault of the dealer service, just a defective design. I need to start exploring my legal options now, seems that a lot of repairs keep failling.. ugh...

Had my seals done last month @18,600 miles, We'll see how long they last.

Bravo!!
Your right DJ, I don't know what die in his ......, but this forum is for support on these type of issues.

Read the thread I started.....If your edge has SYNC...the fire or smoke is prob coming from the wire harness inner mid center console...think block harness connector. Just a thought...Mine is a bit toasty right now

Is this leaking PTU seal an issue on 2010 AWD's?

Yes, my 2010 is going to the dealer for the third repair. How many miles on it? 5000.
