vs08edge

I just had this happen, and yes it was a burnt out bulb. Replace the bulb and all will be fine.

No Should they have?

Got my Edge back today from dealer after dropping it off for leak on 1/13. Part # 7T4Z3A329BD - (SHAFT) 8T4Z7275CC (KIT - SEAL) Hopefully this is the fix for all!!! Time will tell!

Would love to know the part number ! I dropped my vehicle back at the dealership last Wednesday, part was to be shipped from Ford on friday. Today is Wednesday (1 week later) and still no part arrived..Not a happy camper! 4th and final try for this fix!!!

Not sure when this dealer is talking about but my 08 AWD Limited is back at the dealership for the 4th (and final whether fixed or not) fix.

I would call Ford Customer Service and discuss the situation. They are definetly aware of the PTU problem. They may help you with a rental or some other compensation. Good Luck!

I called Ford today and "put them on notice" that My PTU has leaked for now the 4th and final time! They will be having someone from the customer service dept. call me within 2 day. Will update

Thanks for the info. I think I will write a letter to Ford tomorrow and put them on notice and see where it goes from there,,,

Definetly a winter thing! back in April, I had a third seal replaces. Thought this fixed my problem as I had not had any burning smell. Well I was wrong! Two weeks ago, the smell is definetly back! Brought the car into the dealer today and they confirmed that it is definetly leaking again! They have ordered another axle and seal and will try to repair for the 4th time. This will be the last time I will attempt to have this fixed. Does anyone know where I go from here to start paperwork on the vehicle to persue the lemon law ? I need as much guidance as possible as I am extremely frustrated! Thanks!

OK> So i thought after the third go around of changing the seals, or acually replacing the whole unit, the burning smell was gone. Well I think it is back and leaking again. I had to run my heat (defrosters) the other day and within 5 minutes the smell was there. It i going in tomorrow back to the dealership to check if leaking. This will be the 4h time. My question is this.......Where do go fom here if I want to pursue the lemon law? Does the dealership get this final try to fix this, or do I start the paperwork prior to them making their final attempt? I ultimetly want Ford to replace this with an 09 or better Edge that dont leak...Any help would be great.......

Just got my 08 Edge backfor the third time (leaking) this time the double seal was installed. Time will tell!

Yes there is a charge for the Sync upgrade. I was quoted 45.00. Will be done next week.

Might want to try Syncmyride.com . You may have to sync your ipod with this program as well. I know sometimes I have to when I update my ipod........

My husband uses a leaf blower and only a leaf blower on our Shelby GT500 when he washes it. Uses it for the outside and the motor as well. He will not wipe it dry....It does and will scratch

I went with a vapor silver instead of black. I had looked at both, and I love the VS!!! It definetly hides alot if I cant get to clening it as ofen as I would like.

How long as it been since yours was changed?

It has only been 1 month

Not to jinx myself, but am wondering why after my dealership replaced the whole PTU unit, it is not leaking anymore. Makes me wonder if it is fact how it is installed. I have heard and read that it is a very difficult install to do requiring "special" tools. If not installed exactly right, they will leak again......Just curious.......

Mine has not...

Still no leaks or smells!!! :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet:

Update... Gave the car a "workout" yesterday and drove it about 100 miles......Got back home, no burning smell and no leaks! So far so good!!!

Thought I would post this..... tsb08_12_03_1___PTU.pdf

Well after two weeks and two attempts of fixing my leak, I got my car back from the dealer yesterday am and so far no leaks or burning smells . The first attempted fix was to just change the seal. That did not work, so they ordered and put in a whole new PTU Unit. I will be driving it tomorrow quite a distance . This will truly test the repair. Will update....Hopefully it wont leak.
