Check with a local transmission shop. Make certain they use OEM lube (even if you have to supply).

1/4 mile, high-speed run on city streets? Around here we call that a Starbucks run near closing time.

Congratulate me. I retired last Friday. Can't get used to sitting around watching tv. Been saving hard since mid 90's when 401k programs first came out, so well off finanically, but hard to get used to the boredom. Thinking of taking up amateur bartending - ha.

Dealer used the same extractor as they use for rear axle. Big honker of a machine. Has to roll around on casters.

() First things to check. Plugs, need to be changed at 90k. Radiator coolant. Change. If AWD, change PTU fluid. Change transmission fluid. () Things to consider later on Change ALL other fluids, esp brake fluid. Battery. Sync updates from Ford website.

Check for a local transmission shop. They have the equipment and are usually contentious. I had to talk directly to the technician at my local Ford dealer. Service reps are sales reps, NOT technicians. Tech came out, i told him what I wanted and he sure, no problem. He through out 1/2 hour and a can of lubericant (even though it only used a few ounces). $80 total. Tell them they can use the same pump they use to service the rear axles. (Also mention that Ford has a service procedure based on towing and driving through deep water.)

This is the procedure for a 2009 Edge, but I think it hasn't changed since 08.

Real nice. Was this a place online?

I read in a different forum where this one was recommended. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LCEWR4A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_B7J3BbT67HMSV

Both complaints, one thing to try, first pull the fuse then pull and clean the connections. Aplly dielectric grease on all pins and reassemble. (Temperature sensitive connections are almost always do to a slightly corroded connector.)

What Ford considers normal is detailed on page 91 of the owner's manual.

Local told me lifetime was duration of original warranty.

Car battery (you indicated that yours is good), remote battery getting weak, accidiently hitting two keys on remote putting car in valet mode, accidentally hitting lock button twice. Based on what you stated, car battery getting weak. Low voltage can cause this. Inconsistant charging can be related to how the car was driven before being shut off. Short trips dont give it enought time to recover, consistant short trips leave the battery undercharged and weakens batrery.

What are you basing this on?

Edmunds answered it best. "While car recalls don't have an expiration date, they are only enforced for "reasonable periods," the agency (NHTSA) says. Basically, a recall is over if a vehicle's manufacturer goes out of business, or if the parts needed to make the necessary repair are no longer being made."

Try a window reset. Close the window, release the switch, then hold the switch for a full 10 seconds. Then lower the window all the way down, release the switch, then hold the down switch for 10 seconds.

Did you check the fuse? Fuse number is 76. Page 295 in OM.

As in past recalls, after a certain date the owner may have to pay for the repair.

Thing we're mixing apples and onions. The recall is set to end in 2020. The repairs will continue. They are expexting the repairs to end in 2023 and the are estimating 80% completion based on previous recalls.

Thats a silly thing to say, of course there is an end. No auto manufacture will go on forever; its too expensive. According to the the latest estimates, the last recall will start in 2020 and it will end in either late 2022 or early 2023. (They assume each group of recalls will take 2.5 years to complete.) Its assumed that possibly only 80% of all vehicles affected (not just Ford/Lincoln) will be fixed. Thete will always be cars on tne road with a defective airbag. Heres an excellent, up-to-date article on where the Takata airbag recall stands. https://www.consumerreports.org/recalls/will-the-takata-airbag-recall-ever-end/

The language that caught my attention, were the words "an Outreach Program to maximize completion of the recall remedy ...". It's possible that they may not be able to repair certain cars, such as my 09 - we'll see, and if so, they are looking at making a payoff. In any case, they are definitely looking to bring this to an end. They now have a total payoff number ($299.1 million) and if past experience is any example, that's the start of the end game. In any recall, not everyone gets their product fixed. Fixing a deadline is the start however. The opt-out in less than 30 days now, not much warning especially since the notice looked like an advertising flyer. The best action to take (in my opinion) is, if you haven't had your airbags replaced yet, contact Ford dealer and 'get eeerrrrrr done'.

You check with your dealer to have them (re)activate Sirus?

Whether its the PTU or not, whenever you drive through deep water your required to change the PTU fluid. It's in the owners manual. (Rear end as well if I remember correctly). The PTU is not a sealed unit and water can get in and water down the lubrication.

According to the feds, your 2015 Ford Mustang currently has 6 recalls. https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2015/FORD/MUSTANG/2%252520DR/RWD#recalls and 4 more on your 2017 Edge https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2017/FORD/EDGE/SUV/FWD#recalls
