NHTSA Complaint #10820823 — 2008 FORD EDGE

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE AND IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALER FOR THE TRANSMISSION SLAMMING AS I SLOWED AND EXCELERATED ON STATE AND TOWNSHIP ROADS. ALSO FOR THE VEHICLE REVING HIGH AND MOVING SLOW FROM A STOP. LATELY I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND ON SATURDAY 1/16/2016 I NOTICED A GREASE LIKE SUBSTANCE UNDER MY CAR. UPON CONTACTING A MECHANIC HE STATED THAT THE LEAK WAS FROM THE PTU AND THAT THE FORD EDGE IS KNOWN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $1700 AND $2400 TO REPLACE THE PTU. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN JANUARY 2009 AND HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY UNTIL 2015. THE EXCELLERATION ISSUE IS AS I TRAVEL ON HIGHWAYS AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T EXCELERATE. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP ANDTURN OFF THE VEHICLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THESE ISSUES MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHILE TRAVELING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY (I-95, RT 202, RT263) THAT I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY. I FEEL THAT WITH THE COMPLAINTS IN REGARD TO THIS MATTER, THAT IT SHOULD BE CHECKED BY FORD AND REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS.
