Wow what a eye opener owner of a 2013 fully loaded edge with extended warranty to find out that only covers you to 60,000.Guess that one is on me but a ptu failure at 62,000 Wow hit me hard my dad retired from ford while they were still building a quality vehicle got estimate from suburban ford for 2300.00 some one would like me to pay for their Christmas.Going to take my slap in the face and never buy substandard vehicles at least my father lays in rest knowing he produced quality products when he was employed by the Ford Motor Company

In reply to Darren.

I just found mine has that defect too ; that socks ; it’s amazing that Ford don’t cover that it’s not fear because it’s a $50000 vehicle.???

My 2012 Lincoln MKZ PTU just died at 64kmiles. This is ridiculous. I knew I should have stayed with a foreign car. How does this company remain so successful in the US??? Embarrassing.

My 2014 Explorer needed a PTU replacement – because I was told it was “worn out” at 68000 miles – unfortunately the dealership that serviced it noticed this when my vehicle was NOT under warranty – but 8K later. Since I now know this is a known issue in the “Ford” world – I would have thought the dealership/service people would have flagged the PTU earlier so that I would not have to pay $1600 to get the PTU replaced. This was the Saratoga Springs, NY dealership – New Country Ford. This problem only came to light – not from the staff who work there who inspected my Explorer – but from a surprise email I received saying there was a “significant issue” with my PTU – when I called the service people I was told that it was probably “keyed” in wrong and not to worry – so glad I didn’t listen to them and made an appointment to get the PTU checked. Recommend anyone with a Ford to ask while under warranty – it’s a shame this wasn’t caught earlier. I will not be getting another FORD and will not bring my car back to that service center.
