All Wheel drive Power Transfer Unit leaking gear lube. Smell is noticable in winter with windows shut. Unit is only on AWD models of Edge, 500, and Fusion. Pricey little hunk of steel: 850+tax USD. Install is 8 hours, another $1200 bucks.
But that's what a stimulus check is for I suppose. I was going around big bad Jeeps with that little Ford come the first big snow !
Transmission operation was very displeasing. Hard shifting, hunting for gear, gear hopping when stopped in gear, so on. Taken to dealer, supposedly the TCM was updated to the latest software (TSB). Issues continue, but to a much lower degree.
