JRB Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I have a whining noise of some sorts that gets louder when I accelerate. The only time I can tell it does this other than accelerating has been going down a hill. I had thought this was possibly the power steering belt. I had it replaced along with the drive belt and the noise quit, but now after a few months, the noise has returned. I had a dealer check it out and I was told it was a bearing in the transmission. I thought it was strange that the noise went away when I had the belt replaced and now it is back. The vehicle is an ALL-wheel Drive 08 Edge. Does anyone have any idea?

NatG Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I would think maybe the PTU in the AWD system. Does the sound go away at a particular speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRB Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Not really, except when the engine covers up the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samf727 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I notice a whining in my 2011 FWD SEL .. Noticably when you just tip on the throttle to begin accelerating - whines under power. Possibly a related issue? I have no idea, but transmission shifts seems to be getting clunkier and more awkward/uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly a related issue? I have no idea, but transmission shifts seems to be getting clunkier and more awkward/uncomfortable. Sounds like same issue I have with my 2011 MKX. See following thread and listen to the audio and let me know if sound is the same. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12682-2011-mkx-humwhine/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRB Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) I took it to a local garage and the mechanic told me it was the PTU. I had them replace it and the noise is gone. Edited July 14, 2013 by JRB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Glad it is fixed! Did it sound similar to teknowiz's sound clip? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRB Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Glad it is fixed! Did it sound similar to teknowiz's sound clip? TIA. I can't really hear the noise that well. The whining from my PTU was very distinct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
