K-Man

So...after getting a brand new PTU installed ~2 months ago, now my ABS, Traction control and (PTU) wrench light came on yesterday. I brought it into the dealership this morning and just called the dealer to see if they knew what is going on. Apparently, the right wheel sensor is faulty. They have ordered the part and it will be in tomorrow so I'll have to pick up and drop it off tomorrow and hope that this is/was the issue. It's getting frustrating though...brand new vehicle with only 8,000 KM on it. I know things 'happen' and it is all part of car ownership, but let's hope that this is it for a long while! Will keep you posted and let you know if this sensor fixes the problem.

Hi, I posted a somewhat similar issue a couple of months ago. Have a read through the posts...maybe it'll help. Here's the link: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/4789-hearing-a-clunk-knocking-noise-when-accelerating/ I too had a 'kick' when I had my wheel was turned hard (left or right) and accelerated at a slow speed. I also had a 'clunk' noise when accelerating from a stopped position. It ended up being a faulty PTU system which Ford replaced and knock-on-wood...has been running fine since they changed it a month or so ago. Cheers

That is extremely frustrating for sure. Well, hopefully they will find the issue very soon (like today) for you. It definitely wouldn't hurt to call them and mention the trans. sensor as Jeff mentioned above. Knock-on-wood...since they replaced the entire PTU system on my Edge 2 weeks ago, the 'clunk', knocking and grinding noise have stopped and is driving as a new car should. Good luck!

Well, I brought my vehicle back to the dealership today because the PTU unit came in and was ready to be installed. They changed the complete PTU system. I picked it up after work this evening and thankful (knock-on-wood) I no longer hear the 'clunk' and grinding noise. Hopefully that was the issue/problem and it won't happen again. Crossing my fingers that getting the new PTU system is the fix. I'll send an update in a few weeks to let you know if all is still ok. Cheers

Quick Update: I just received a call from the dealership and they said that it is indeed a faulty 'PTU' and it has to be replaced. Unfortunately, they do not have any in stock and have to order the part in. Seeing that I was a bit of a bear this morning when dropping the truck off (having the new truck for only 3 weeks and all and with only 2,000 km on it I guess you understand why I was a little miffed), they are having the part rushed in and it will be here on Monday, so I will get the new PTU put on the Edge then. I'm praying to God that this fixes the problem(s) I've been having over the past week and a half. I guess I'll fine out next week. Oh ya... the dealership called the Ford headoffice to ask if it is safe to drive the vehicle with a faulty PTU and they apparently said, "yes...100% safe until you get the part in". I made sure to ask this because I did not want to mess up my warranty in anyway. I got them to note this comment on the invoice. Once I get it fix, I will report back to let you know if it corrected the issue or not.

The leak is located approx. just past the engine. Right about in the middle where the console is (between driver and passenger seat). It was a steady 'drip', 'drip', 'drip' last night so I'm praying that I can make it to the dealership this morning without service lights going off. I have the AWD model. I'll let you know what it is once I hear back from the dealership today.

Well this really SUCKS!!! I thought I should check under the truck tonight to see if I could see any leaks and sure enough I noticed a fluid leaking from the middle section of the truck! Really not a happy camper right now. I called the dealer and will be bringing it in tomorrow. Once I get the truck back and find out what the problem is...I will let you know. Only 2100 km...this really sucks!

Hi, I just bought a new 2010 Ford Edge a few weeks ago and have only 2,000 km on it and over the past week or so, I've been noticing that when I start to accelerate I hear a "clunk" or knocking noise. It happens right around 10 - 20 km/ph when the vehicle is shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. It doesn't happen from 3 gear on, and it doesn't seem to happen every time I'm driving the vehicle. I've read a number of posting of the dreaded "PTU" and tranny seal leaks and hoping that this isn't the issue. I plan on bringing it into the dealer, but I was just curious if anyone else has experienced this type of behaviour / noise coming from their Edge and if so...what was the issue?

Funny...I just bought a new 2010 Ford Edge as well and only have ~1,900 km on it and noticed last week the very same noise. I've read a number of posts today and noticed that the 'clunk' noise happens when the trany is shifting from 1st to 2nd within the first 2-3 seconds of accelerating . I plan on bringing it to the dealership this week at some, but if you happen to find out more as to why this is happening, please let me know. Cheers
