Play Mr Scotty I got a 2006 Ford 500 for my daughter and it is getting hard when she starts going up a hill doing 55 it feels kind of like the transmission is jumping down a gear real hard without her letting off of the foot feed. Any ideas where to start on that
I have a Edge I bought at copart auction. All new fluids and a changed out ptu with new fluid. Runs perfect with 208,000 miles. Going to Uber with it. Got it for $1600 plus about $500 in fees. If it lasts a year I'm money ahead. Lovely car to drive.
@Jonathan-mp32x Mine is all wheel drive and the ptu has yellow writing on it and looks new. I drilled tapped and put new plug in The bottom as directed by youtube posts. So I think Im Good. Thanks
Seriously. Had that happen while on vacation at the beach with my family. Noticed coolant on the ground, popped the hood and noticed the reservoir was empty, pulled the oil dipstick…chocolate milkshake. Fortunately, it had happened relatively soon to when I noticed it, towed it 200 miles back to my local mechanic (thanks AAA!), and they were able to change out the water pump for ONLY $1.4k. Worth it though, because I’ve gotten another 75k miles out of the engine. But keep in mind, i was aware of this issue and checked my fluids religiously (even would send oil samples to Blackstone Labs to check for moisture in the oil), and nothing showed until the catastrophic failure of the water pump. My mechanic friend showed it to me after, and the interior bearing rod just snapped in half and allowed the coolant to dump straight into the engine. It (the water pump) does have a double gasket with two weep holes that should give you a heads up on incremental leaks and is extremely durable otherwise, but man…what a stupid design to save a few inches of engine clearance! Also, the other thing to watch on these cars is if they have the 6F50 transmission…do a search on TSS/OSS issues, extremely common and can cause serious issues if not addressed quickly.
Scotty - My 2022 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium got 23.3 MPG on the first leg of a trip from northern Wisconsin to Chicago at 75 MPH. I was amazed to say the least.
I bought a 2018 Ford Edge AWD built in Oakville Ontario because it uses the Lincoln frame. The Lincoln is built at the same plant. No issues. Best car I ever owned. I get 33 miles per gallon on the highway, and that is the larger Canadian gallon.
As do most owners, it's actually a pretty decent vehicle l, alot in our Facebook group have miled one or two out, gonna 6 years with mine in March, no issues yet, 60,000 kms, and I run My harder than her I assure you lol
My wife has a 2010 Edge with about 114,00 miles. Only thing other than normal maintenance, was replaced the brake booster. Runs, rides and shifts like new.
Scotty I started working on cars when I was able to hold a wrench. I started on cars professionally in 1982 at a Pontiac Buick AMC Jeep dealership at the age of 16 I’m 59yrs old now. I’ve been a ASE certified automotive technician for over 30 yrs. Tell me what where the best yrs for auto manufacturers. I say 95 till 2000.
Hey Scotty speaking of Ford products, I have a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis with 327k miles on it. It was built in Canada. When I moved from Connecticut to Tennessee 14 months ago, I drove this car the 1100 miles to my new home without any problems at all AND going 70 mph the entire trip, the 4.6L V8 delivered 25mpg, which was the stated mileage rating at the time of manufacture. So to all car buyers, don’t discount older cars. There are still some good ones out there..I was lucky my Mercury was a free car, with no mechanical defects at time of acquisition. 😊 And there still are no mechanical defects outside of preventive maintenance. So treat your cars right and they’ll treat you right..
Others may have already mentioned this, but the weak link in the AWD Flex, Escape, or Edge is the PTU. The PTU holds less than a quart of 75W-140 gear oil. If you religiously change the PTU oil, it should last. The older PTU models didn’t have a drain plug, so you had to siphon out the old oil. Apparently, the newer PTU models have a drain plug
The 3.5 isn't a bad engine. It's way better than GM's 3.6 with its multitude of timing chain problems. The only thing that would worry me about it is the water pump.
Agreed. I have a 17' Explorer with that engine, and I removed the Orange Coolant, and replaced it with the new Yellow Motorcraft coolant with better inhibitors to help prolong the life of the water pump. An Ex Ford tech suggested I do that. Glad I did.
I had a 2007 Escape AWD automatic & had issues with the AWD system & a 2001 Escape FWD 5 Speed & both had 4 Cyl motors & only issue the clutch pedal needed to be replaced. Both were made in the USA!
2007 model... undoubtedly Mazda engineering in the powertrain. I researched the Escape and it holds true in that vehicle. Ford & Mazda had a few good things going back in the day: Ranger/B Series, Fusion/Mazda6, Escape/Tribute, did I miss any?
The ptu issue in the awd was a problem with earlier models due to lack of maintenance, Ford said its got "lifetime" oil and never needs changing, they just swapped em under warranty, there's since been a drain hole added to newer models, you can dril and tap your own, some owners have
I love my 2010 Ford edge! 200,000 miles and the original AWD system is still going strong. She’s been an amazing trooper for my mom and I since new, and only ever needed all 4 wheel bearings at 175,000 and normal maintenance along the way. 4 sets of tires, 2 sets of front brakes and 1 set of rears, engine oil every 3,000, transfer case every 25-50,000 (depending on driving condition) transmission every 50,000, and differential fluid every 75,000. I could not give this thing any more praise for how reliable she is; hell even the high beam, license plate lamp, fog light, and side marker bulbs are all original from 2010.
I guess I got Lucky. I used to have a 2005 Ford Escape Limited AWD, and I used it for Lyft, and Uber. Replaced the Transaxle Fluid, and replaced a bad seal on the Transaxle, but never had issues with the AWD system. Owned it for 7 years, until I sold it with 177,340 miles, and It was perfectly fine.
The Duratec 35/6F50 is a great combination; barring two very common flaws…the water pump in the engine, and the TSS/OSS sensors in the transmission. Barring those known weak points; if you keep up on maintenance, this setup is absolutely bulletproof otherwise.
Scotty as a CN employee, we service the Ford plant in Oakville, Ontario bringing in auto parts from the stamping plant in South Buffalo and pulling out loaded railcars with new Edges in them, I believe the Lincoln MKX's were still built there which then became the Lincoln Nautilus in 2019. We were told 2023 was going to be the last year before plant shutdown for retooling and electrification but now it has been pushed to the middle of 2024. No one knows if and when that will happen since it's all up in the air.
I know people with newer awd explorers with high miles with no serious issues.........and they have no rust..my wife has a 14 escape titanium , no serious issues, and no rust...theyre all maintaned and washed regularly , especially in winter..and were all in mass and NH with s snow and salt
I have a 2014 Ford Edge with 220,000 miles...has all the same modern features as the brand new cars do and it's paid for! Bought it for $5,000. lol Still runs like a top! Would definitely buy another one even though I've never been a fan of Ford.
That's what i like about you Scotty you give it to us straight without chaser, LOL, what you said is exactly true about Canadian assembled vehicles but as used vehicles i have found that the body rusts out quite easily , i lived in Canada for some years and i had many friends who literally took their vehicles to Ziebart every couple of years .
They all wheel drive version is actually a great car. I’ve had it for many years and it now has 143,000 miles on it. The only thing I’ve had to replace with the drive system is the center support bearing for the driveshaft.
My daughter has the same car with 170k mi and it still runs great. No major repairs over the years. They're great vehicles and bought a 2020 Edge for my wife.
we have a fwd 2013 edge with 3.5l v6. had it since new. 180k miles. no major issues. we also used to have a '16 escape with 1.6l ecoboost ... nothing but trouble and we got rid of that junk.
Bless you Scotty for this informative vids. Did anybody tell you you look and sound like Saul Goodman? Maybe you are Saul after he got released many years later
Currently working on mine has 270000 miles runs great but hard and annoying to swap alternator belts anything really if you have paitence they are great rides
We still have our 2007 Ford Edge, you're right, the PTU or AWD unit is a poor design. We are on our 3rd PTU, it only holds not quite a quart of 75/140 synthetic gear oil & they cook the lubricant and burn up! I started having it scavenged out every year (no drain plug), but they still failed. It now has 277,000 miles on it, it's ready for front CV Shafts and a rear driveshaft (can be expected with this mileage on it).
My wife has a 2015 Ford Edge and it has been an excellent vehicle. We got it used in 2018 with 19,000 miles and it’s now got just under 96,000 miles and runs like a champ. Front wheel drive and a V6, stay away from those 2.0 Eco Boost pieces of crap. 🇺🇸✌️😎
My wife proved how SAFE they are 60mph T-Boned a Truck Bad not a scratch on her they turn left in front her SAFE n still driving our 2015 was the new style. 😮SAFE N RUN GREAT ! Really
Scotty, I have a 2012 Ford Edge, 3.5L V6. Runs well, but the drivers door ajar light stays on with the door closed. Cleaned the door latch switch with electronic contact cleaner, but no change. Suggestions?
We still own a 14 edge sport and it just turned 100k and it's been the best car we've ever owned. The only thing I've ever had to do to it was change the throttle body because the butterfly motor went bad and it's a one piece unit with the throttle body. I've also changed the struts and the battery. That's it. General maintenance stuff. But I can't say the same for other ford's I've owned.
Ive got a 2013 chevy impala that i would drive across the country in with its 3.6lfx engine which i keep very well maintained. You just cant skip oil changes with the 3.6 or you will regret it
some guy I work with has the Lincoln version of this thing transmission went out a month ago then 2 weeks later then engine out on his newer gmc2500 lol
When they list the price for a battery-electric car, they should also list the price for a battery replacement (shop cost) and replacement battery (item cost). Not much sense to buy a $20k car when 10 years later, to replace the battery you need more money than what the car is worth. I can't wait for an electric powered car, but so far they are gimmicky toys, not tools of transportation.
Will Sierzchula (2022Dec01) “Electrifying US long haul trucks will require 504 TWh a year. But that won’t be the hardest part.” 1 terawatt hour (TWh) is 1,000,000 Megawatt-hours (MWh) or 1,000,000,000 kilowatt-hours (KWh). Total electricity consumption in the USA in 2022 was 4,010TWh, so to electrify long-haul trucking would require adding 12.57% more energy. Say you pay $37 per MWh, electrical costs for long-haul trucking would cost $37x1,000,000x504= $18,648,000,000.
I got to drive two new 1992 Kenworth T600 trucks. First one was built in Seattle, total piece of junk. Second one was built in Canada, not a problem with this one. Everything worked like it should. Canadians must take more pride in their work. And, this was in 1992.
