  1. I have a 2008 Edge and did not have an issue with the USB playing of music until recently. I had my glove compartment open when my dog was in the car and she stepped on it and broke the USB stick...ok no issue. Went out and got a new USB stick, loaded it with the same music plugged it in the USB slot and now the radio says it's unsupported. Has anyone had this issue and if so how did you resolve it??? Please I need my USB music in my car!!!

     

     

    Thank you!

     

     

    you might want to format you usb stick

  2. The powertrain warranty is only 60K miles - not 150K!

     

     

    Actually it wasn't that bad,I know the head of parts and he gave me the parts for his costs.So the axle shaft BT4Z-3A329-A was $200. the seal 8T4Z-7275-DC was $8.46 plus labour $413.so it costed me total $621.46 plus tax well ya know that I look at it ,it sucks! They gave me a years warranty on it so thats good. They updated my sync for free but I don't think they did it correctly.I see no change at all in it.I heard it was supose to install a 911 feature whick I don't have.It looks identical to what it used too.Dose anybody know how to check what version you have? I tried through -Media-user setting -information. So numbers came up but did not reconize them and they were darkened out,they were not brite like the rest of the words.My Edge is an 08 and from what I have found on the internet the newest version is 2.1.I don't no if they put a new version for the 2011(new style sync and it didn't take on my older equipment(sync).

  3. I have been concerned myself. I just got a call from the dealer saying that the seals that I need will be off backorder next week and begin to ship, so looking at minimum two more weeks. Today I was thinking about the long term on these affected vehicles. Right now it is under warranty but what happens when it is not and maybe the seals go again? How much is it to fix it? I would love to get a 2011 just not sure if the $$ will be there to do it.

     

     

    I am getting mine fixed as we speak,NOT under warranty. 4 and a half hours labour @ $118. per hour,parts around $300. plus 14% tax.Do the math $966.78 lucky me.I own a 97 F150 4X4 never had to do anything to except normal maintenance,brakes,a starter,altenater.Nothing else the motor has 150,000 mile and run great! Should have bought another truck

  4. I had mine done January 2010, so far so good ...

     

     

    they said the ptu shaft had to be changed.The bill is going to be around $800.00 after taxes.If this dosen't last like a lot of them that I have read.I think I'm going to lose it

  5. Hi Everybody

    I too have an Edge with the famous PTU seal problem but I bought my Edge off Ebay.I am Canadian and the car is American(just tring to help suport your finanical situation).My problem is it is an 08 with 117000KMs about 65000 miles.The Canadian dealer dosen't want to touch it because I bought outside of Canada (ediots) so the seal replacement is out of my own pocket,lucky me. What is your warranty if bought in the states,what mileage is it cover up to? And the tranny shifts oddly in lower gears.Will this seal replacement cure that?(maybe if the fluids low because of the seal leak)

    Ford dealer just called to tell me I was correct and it is the PTU seal but they will look at the shaft and they might have to replace that to, $250. just for the shaft and 4 hours labour @ $118. an hour. The car starter dose not work $50. for the part and another 2 2.5 hours plus oil change 1 hours labour another $118. plus taxes. This Edge is starting to leave a foul tast in my mouth. Can't wait for the next phone call to see what else it needs and at what price!

  6. My 2010 has been in 4 times for the PTU. Finally they replaced the hole unit so far it hasn't leaked.

  7. Nothing wrong with adding to a dead post,because people like me who have the same problem can learn.So all you guys that feel silly...Don't.

     

    I was told by my Ford dealer that it used to be behind a panel in the cargo area.But they do not do that anymore,you have to get it scanned now.

  8. Please let us know if the Dynamat works.

     

    I will buy it and lay it down if it does.

     

    I am also thinking about lining the wheel wells with that stuff.

     

    I am glad that others think that this truck is a bit noisy as well.

     

     

    I too think I have this problem but mine is not under warrenty.Does anyone know how much I'll be looking at when I receive my bill?
