Teresa Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 When taking off from stop loud clicking in front end. Took to Ford dealer was told ptu unit. Replaced and still making noise...not in reverse and the noise slows down once it's in 4th gear or higher. Transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. No loss of power...just loud clicking very annoying. Only had vehicle three months...62,000 miles...any help greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Welcome to the forum! That clicking sounds like either a halfshaft/CV joint or a hub. Is the sound louder in any one particular direction as you turn the steering wheel left or right, or take a left turn or right turn? Do you hear it when the Edge is stopped/idling? When was the last oil/filter change, and do you know what was used as replacement? At least should be Motorcraft synthetic blend 5W20 oil and Motorcraft FL500s oil filter. Could be a driveshaft issue as listed on this website: http://www.procarcare.com/includes/content/resourcecenter/encyclopedia/ch22/22tsdriveshaft.html It is normal for the fuel injectors to tick on a regular basis, just wanted to rule that out right away.

Teresa Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 It's making the clicking knocking sound on take off..going straight and in turns..the noise gets slower when shifts into second, then speeds up for third...but in fourth no noise...could it be transmission? Fluid has just been changed..no sound just sitting still...or power braking...Only on movement...shifts smoothly through all gears.

Teresa Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Pulled transmission today, found metal chunks on filter magnet...not good..on further inspection and tear down found metal band cracked in half, down inside..so only having this edge 2 months now I need to buy transmission.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 That sucks! Didn't expect that from the trans. The PTU is usually the one to explode. Any warranty coverage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teresa Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Unfortunately no, 2000 miles past...we did buy the new ptu unit from dealer since that's what they diagnosed...I really appreciate all the nice help...thanks! :-) I have picture but I'm new to this so not sure how to post.
