Hey gang! Just wanted to give an update on the axle seal. The Ford dealer called today and said they finally have the new part from Ford and they will fix my car this upcoming Friday. In addition, the transmission has started to slip. We have filed a complaint through the auto line BBB, through Ford corp (which said they would contact us back by tomorrow - we will see if they call us back) I love the car I just wish it didn't have the problems it is having. As a matter of fact the other day I was heading to college to purchase my books and it was a pretty snowy icy day and I had no problems with the AWD other than it being a little stinky. As a matter of fact my car went like there was no snow at all and the poor car behind me wiped out badly! So we will see what will happen next. I'll keep you guys posted. '08 Limited AWD with 26k.

Hey gang! So I vented the other night. Do you guys know if the seal leak by the axle is the same thing as the seal of the PTU? And if it is dripping on the brakes couldn't this put wear and tear on the brakes?

How much is to much to take??? I asked the dealer if it was safe for me to drive my car and they said yes. On the paperwork it says" Order seal for front axle" is this the same thing as the PTU? Well today, I pick up my 5 yrs from school and taking her to her afternoon activities and all of sudden I hit some traffic and the darn thing is smoking badly again...in the inside and out - Had to open my Vista roof to get fresh air in 32 degree weather! My concern is my little one I can deal with the nuisance but, not to subject my kid to it!!! As for a new Edge owner ....my car has 25,000miles on it and it has already been in the shop for....1.Sensor bad - camshaft position, 2. Solenoid - engine variable tim (replace both cam phasers) 3. Rubbing noise happening on the rear tires (so they machined my rear rotors of course at my expense) 4. Clicking noise on the front tires 5. Popping noise every time I hit the brakes (whether it be a gradual brake or hard) 6. Smoke smell (found nothing) 7. Smoke smell and smoking (found nothing) 3. Smoke smell and white smoke coming into cabin (waiting on part) which, they say Ford has but, they aren't releasing them. So when is enough??? By the way I own a '93 5.0 LX convertible mustang - That machine has been good to me! I just can't drive it in the snow!!! That is our nice weather baby....poor thing just sits in the garage over the winter months. I'm just frustrated b/c we forked out some money for our Limited AWD 2008 and we get this?????

Well, guess what! The Ford dealer finally called back this morning and it is the PTU seal. The dealer actually called Ford and they told them to look there and they did. So now they don't think I'm crazy! We love our Edge and we test drove many other cars and this one handled the best in our price range. We also own a '93 5.0 LX convertible mustang and a '70's convertible mustang that we are refurbishing since we found it in a field rotting away. All we want is for Ford to fix the problem and looks as if they are attempting to do that. Do you think with so many seal's leaking from the PTU they would put a recall out there?

Hey gang! Need your help please! I've read pretty much all of the posts. I have a 2008 limited AWD and this past Wed. I was driving it and made a stop and white smoke came into the passenger compartment and you could see smoke on the outside of the car. So of course Thurs. we gave it back to the dealer. Still they can't find anything wrong with it. We mentioned the PTU problem and of course they avoided the suggestion. Any suggestions?
