Transfer case failure of a 2014 Ford Edge Sport AWD at just over 132,000 miles. My wife noticed some squeaking and grinding shortly after a significant snow storm we had and the problem worsened in the days following. The noise wasn't constant and could easily be confused with either wheel bearing failure or a bad CV boot/axle. Noise was more prevalent when accelerating. Turning didn't seem to make as much of a difference. Mechanic diagnosed the issue and stated that if the vehicle were to continue to be driven they do lock up completely. $2900 all in for the replacement and labor. We bought the vehicle used around the 80K mark. Likely the last Ford I purchase outside of a full size truck.
