Just a comment for clarity Enigma-2 said " Second that. Drilled slotted rotors have more heat resistance after hard braking, but actually degrades stopping on a street car (holes and slots in the disks have less braking surface area to press against.) To increase hard braking, wider tires work better. (Once any braking system locks up, the only factor left in stopping to car is the friction between the tires and the ground. The more tire surface in contact with the ground, the more friction exists.) " I agree wider, stickier tires give better braking performance than lesser tires. However, saying that drilled / slotted rotors degrades stopping due to less braking surface I believe is not correct. The amount of material removed is negligible to the overall disk material. Additionally, I have never used drilled rotors but I have used slotted rotors in the past. I don't believe they increase or decrease stopping distance in of themselves ( see tires and brake pads ) BUT the slotted rotors do help stopping distance in the rain as the slots allow the disks to shed water between the pads and the disk faster than solid disks. -

The STs have electronic steering so there is no PS fluid. My Dealer recommends the RDU at 30K miles, the PTU they reluctantly say 30K miles and the transmission they say 5 years or 30K miles, which ever comes first. Per manuals, I find brake fluid at 3 years ( no mileage ). Coolant, depending on your source could be anywhere up to 100K miles. However, I typically use the Severe Duty schedule when looking at maintenance service schedules, so those values are typically much shorter than the standard maintenance schedules STBEAST - You don't want to use Redline Shockproof ( either variety ) in either your PTU or RDU. Way too heavy. The PTU calls for 75W85 and the RDU calls for 75W for disconnect RDUs. Apparently only Ford has the 75W fluid available, which can be pricey but it appears it is a special formula specifically for the Disconnect RDU. The Disconnect RDU engages or disengages depending on vehicle engine load. If it were me\, I would only use the 75W -

At worst, the only warranty denial Ford can apply is if they can show if the tune was the result of the engine or engine-related part failure. All other warranty items will still be covered. Doesn't matter if you have the extended warranty or not. Now, if Ford says that's the issue / reason, you are really out of luck unless you want to fight Ford Corporate lawyers. Depends on your Dealer as they have discretion on informing Ford regarding issues and warranty work. -

I had the same issue with my 2020 Edge ST with only 20K miles. There is a TSB that covers this. A PDM update resolves the issue. However, if the RDU fluid has never been changed, or if the wrong fluid was used, then the RDU fluid should be changed soonest. -

Hi Davidoo I have a 21 ST and it does not have the PTU cooler either. As STBEAST said, how much is the cooler really worth if you are cycling 200* coolant through it? You also said, " As a side note, I changed the RDU myself and only got about 22 ounces out of it when the specs say it holds 28 plus/minus an ounce. I'm glad I did because it came out completely black, and a lot of sludge stuck to the magnet on the drain plug. I got 26 ounces back in it before it started pouring out the fill cap, so that's all I could get back in. " Per the Oner's manual, the RDU takes approximately 28 ounces. The only way to get just about all of that out is if you pull the RDU cover and let it all drain. You can only get so much out via vacuuming it out. -
My 2023 ST appears not to have the cooler either. I'm debating on opening the plug or just suck the fluid out. I bought it at 18k and I'm almost at 20k now. 20250710_080650.heic

I too had this problem. I did the reset method, but it rarely worked. Finally after two years of this, I installed a new blend door actuator. I watched one video where the tech used a philips on a ratchet. I was not so lucky to have one. I did find that I was able to reach screws 2 and 3 with a long screwdriver from the open area by the steering column. The third one and trickiest the screwdriver was behing the steering column, towards the front of the car. I did have to lay with my head by the pedals face up to get a good view of the new actuator placement and screw locations. It was a doable project for 60 year old chubby chick that I am. I cant wait for the passenger side to fail, much easier access.

Just seeing this class action on Facebook Ford Edge Owners group. 2019-2021 Lincoln Nautilus & Ford Edge Transmission – Class Action Investigation https://chimicles.com/2019-lincoln-nautilus-transmission-class-action-investigation/

Yes. My 2021 had it. Sounds like it's coming from the speakers. Mainly the driver's side/forward area. I too complained about it with no answer or resolution. I traded in for a 2024 last year and it too has it but seems to be less aggressive. I went to the Ford ST SUV experience in Park City Utah last year and had a change to drive a 2019 ST for the day. I also noticed the sound, but it seemed to be much less than my 2021/2024 so I assumed it was normal. Very irritating and seems most noticeable when the car downshifts from 3rd-2nd-1st. My solution was to turn up the music. Jim
