“Power transfer unit failed. Cost to fix was $2,800.00. I brought it to the Ford dealer a couple of times. After diagnosing it myself I asked them to check power transfer unit which was making a metallic sound. I did some research and found this is a very common and possibly dangerous and certainly costly condition with this car.”

“My 2013 Ford EDGE randomly stalls doesn't matter if I'm turning going slow or straight and going fast. The wrench light will show up. I usually stop, shut it down and restart it. It's pretty frightening. I brought it to the repair shop and they said it might be the throttle bottle. Got that cleaned up which was to dirty and still stalling.”

“When I go to put my car I park and take my foot off the break the car will roll forward several feet or if I am on a hill it will roll backward several feet. When I am driving on the highway the car will just stop accelerating at 80mph. On several occasions I was trying to get around a truck and the car just stopped accelerating almost causing an accident.”

“The advance trac warning light comes on if the car has been idling for more than 5 minutes. The traction control light comes on and say my traction control is off. The car only has 38,000 miles.
