Really I think it was intended to send a record to the dealer of record to help generate additional sales.

I'm curious as to how much PH change had occured.

True enough. But I can't think of any reason to leave a car idling for a half-hour or more and be away from the car.

I'd call the local rental company and get their opinion. They deal with this everyday.

Ask the people you work with. Don't put too much in the ones the say good, but listen to them when they talk down a mechanic. Personally I would consider your local Ford dealer as they are the best experts on the Edge.

They usually install a rebuilt (per my dealer). Probably didn't get a good one. I would keep taking it back as a PTU leak will eventually cause it's failure.

Tires can also be significant source of noise. Don't think it's possible to add ANC to a car that didn't come with it. Basically it just nuteralizes the engine low frequencies (does nothing for wind or rain).

The U-Haul site has instructions (and a good video) on how to determine the correct height. Normal height is 17" from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. U-Haul recommends 18". https://www.uhaul.com/Articles/Tips/5227/How-To-Select-The-Correct-Ball-Mount-For-Your-Hitch/

Easier to just tap the brake pedal. (Or gas pedal).

Barf. I'll see your Binarily Augmented Retro-Framing and rase you a fart.

YMTU = You Make That Up?

Cost. It's always about money.

This video will describe how to remove it.

There is a 30 second warning prior to automatic shutdown. You can override the pending shutdown by tapping the brake or gas pedal. There's no override setting to disable.

So what's causing the leak in the first place? The engine is dry and cured when it's built. Doesn't leak until later.

Ford just announced they are restructuring. https://www.fidelity.com/news/article/top-news/201804251619RTRSNEWSCOMBINED_KBN1HW2UH-OUSBS_1

IF your still under warranty take it in. Even s small leak in certain places needs immediate attention.

I just love sitting next to a small 4-banger with an automatic and a bad fart cannon taking off from a green light, floored and the moron looking all over to see if anyone is noticing him.

Ahhhhh, now I understand. We pay our workers more to get it just as wrong.

Buy the extended warranty if the car is already out of its powertrain warranty. What I did was to go online and get three quotes from on-line Ford dealers. Took these to my local Ford dealer's comptroller and asked him to match. He did without question and bettered it by offering free deductible (if I service there, otherwise $100 at any other dealer). Think.of it as a safety net in a very complicated world.

What's the difference?

Can't imagine what your complaining about, 4° is well within Chinese tolerances.

PTU is an acronym for Power Transfer Unit. It sits aft of, and attrached to the transmission. The purpose is to send power to the rear axle. (Power is split between the front and rear axles). The problem with the unit is, eventually the seals start to leak and the remaining fluid overheats, cooking and loses lubricating properties. The unit then fails. The best prevention is to change the fluid every 30k. Even though it's a required procedure after the car had been in deep water, many dealers will not do the flush. (My local does, was either $60 or $80, forget.) Some transmission shops will also do a flush. The unit is considered sealed for life, but life of any car is it's original warranty (not forever as some think). (On older cars, there's no drain plug and thd fluid has to be sucked out using the same equipment used to drain and refill the rear end). It's "infamous" because so many units have failed and are expensive to replace. Considering all the millions of AWD vehicles on the road, and the number that have actually failed, it's actually a fairly reliable unit. The dealer found mine started leaking during an oil change. They replaced the unit under extended warranty. (Good reason to purchase the Ford extended warranty).
