I have a 2008 Ford Edge and get a horrible smell when I use only the vent. I have taken it to my dealer and they also notice it but say there are no bulletins or cure for it. I don't notice it when I use AC or heat but only with the vent. Is there a cure for this?

I am not so happy about my 2008 MKX. I have already had the left axle replaced and now I just had the right side axle seal at the PTU replaced. The smell was putrid. I am extremely disatisfied that this $45,000 vehicle has these problems so early. I have had the vehicle for 6 moths and it has 14,000 miles on it. I tried to help the American economy by switching to a domestic product.

The posts in this forum are scaring me. I had the seal put in today and it sounds like this may not be a permanent fix.

We encountered a smell with our 2008 Edge and in my research came across this entry:DJ Starr Burning Smell? Dec 8 2007, 06:51 PM. I expressed my concern that Ford Execs needed to issue a recall notice to correct the issue and some one whose log-in name was 07 MKX said that he would take care of it. We found no subsequent recall notice however our local Ford Dealership agreed to replace a part that they advised would correct the issue. Now a year later, the smell has returned. The smell is evident in the engine compartment, but is most noticed when the car comes to a stop and the heat vent is on--I should note that we did not notice the smell in the summer, so the combination of heat and vent and leakage may provide more information for the ultimate correction. The dealership was at first difficult to deal with, and then they eventually scheduled the car for the seal replacement. I am on the verge of re-contacting the dealership again to give them an update and see if they have additional solutions.
