Complaint Summary
POWER TRAIN
Owner Narrative
Just bought used 12/4/23 from private party. Transmission fluid leaking on exhaust pipe, seen and documented by tech at Kendall Ford Anchorage, AK. Vehicle was brought in for Transmission and Engine Oil Service 91,000 approximate. Seems to coming from rear of transmission, where shaft goes in. Leaks on hot exhaust, burns and smoke comes in heater vent, Can see some smoke coming up from under hood when parked and smell burning fluid when outside. The leak is not excessive, as im watching the transmission fluid level. But my wife is now afraid of a fire. This seems to be an on going problem with the Ford Edge and other vehicles. Please help resolve this, we cant afford a repair of this large amount from what ive read for repair. Thank you, [XXX] & [XXX] Kenai, AK.
