:happy feet: Drove to work today in my 2009 Honda Accord paid for by Ford. Finalized buyback of my 2007 Edge last night! Settled through arbitration with the Better Business Bureau. Thanks to all of you (except Capt. Kirk) for your comments and suggestions. Special thanks to whoever posted the service bulletin on here awhile back. It really helped in my arbitration. Good luck to the rest of you. If you are experiencing the leak and are frustrated by repeated fixes check BBB.org for your state. I don't think Ford will give anyone a hard time buying back the Edge.

I know. I am one of them! Love your website but all of this is not doing us any good if they don't have a fix for our problem.

Ford claims (to me anyway) that it works on some and not on others because this is a very intricate procedure and not all dealerships do it right. I have had those parts put in my car twice now and still have a leak. Oh, and Ford also admitted that this problem does only seem to occur in cold weather which explains why I went from Feb to Oct with no leak and it came back in Feb. Very frustrating! Hopefully, you will have better luck with yours.

I never had the smoke come in through the air vents. It poured out from the driver's side of the hood.

Thanks for the info but I am just a mom will never get under the hood or check the tranny fluid and I don't want to pay someone else to check these fluids. Thanks anyway. Hopefully I will make it the BBB and back.

I have been driving around with this leak for a few weeks now waiting for my hearing. Ford will not look at my car now that I have filed a case against them. Should I be concerned about losing transmission fluid? I have a long drive to the hearing next week.

Mine lasted for 3 months (5133 miles) after the whole unit was replaced before the smell returned. How long has it been?

Galaxieman - Is yours still leaking after the 7251A part was installed?

Well, Ford offered one car payment for all my trouble. I told the BBB to take it to arbitration. What are they thinking???

Good luck! I will be anxious to see what they say. I am waiting for Ford to offer some sort of settlement other than working on the car again or I will be at arbitration as well.
