ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Detailed account: After my morning commute, the car started sounding like it was idleing hard with a strange smell. It didn't smell like buring oil or plastic/rubber. Midday, I went to a store 1/2 mile from my work. There was little noticable sound upon starting. I pulled into the parking lot, when I shifted into reverse to park, the car shut off. There were no warning lights on the dash. I shifted to park, then turned the car back on and parked. There was smoke coming from one of the tail pipes that lasted several minutes after shut-off. After 30 min, I turned on the car and shifted into reverse to leave the parking spot. The car shut off and the brakes were not responsive as rolled slightly down an incline. Again no warning lights, so I returned to my workplace and finished my day. We contacted a mechanic and scheduled an appointment as soon as they could get us in. Following the workday, I began the drive to my child's school (approx 3 miles city). Within 1 mile, the check engine light came on and the car shut off when I came to a complete stop at a light. I shifted to park then turned it back on when the light turned green. It shut off again when someone entered my lane and I had to come to a complete stop. Once again turned back on, and limped it to my son's school because I had to get to my child before the end of pickup time (my husband would not have made it in time if I had pulled over where I was). I tried to avoid making a complete stop but had to proceed through two 4 way stops, when the vehicle shut off again. I made it to the school where I could safely leave it and wait for it to be towed. Malfunction: Engine shut-off, lack of powered brack due to car shutting off Safety Risk: extended stopping time in the middle of the road due to time needed to turn car back on Problem has been confirmed by mechanic shop, internet research, and a friend in Ford service department as known issue (design flaw) of corrosion due to coolant intrusion. No recall.

UNKNOWN My SUV started to shudder. I brought it to a mechanic, and he started that while preforming a transmission flush, a bunch of black gunk came out. He advised us that the transmission needed to be replaced or rebuilt. Ford needs to issue a recall on all 2019 Ford Edge’s. I’m worried it will blow up or cause an accident while I’m driving it.

In June of 2023 the car was sputtering in 2-3 gear. It went in to replace the torque converter. This was replaced and 10 months later the transmission goes out. I believe that the transmission when out due to the torque converter going out. At the time of the torque converter was replaced the car was still under warranty. I believe Ford is responsible as regularly scheduled maintenance was performed per there maintenance schedule, and at their dealership.

At approximately 61,000 miles, car would hesitate and sputter while driving. No warning lights appeared on dashboard to indicate any issues. I took the car Ford for inspection, and was told by Ford that I needed a new torque convertor. I had the dealership complete repairs at a considerable cost.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN
I purchased this vehicle brand new. Within a year or so of purchasing we noticed some chugging with acceleration. Started out around the 20-30mph area. When we took to out local Ford dealer for routine maintenance we mentioned and they said they didn't find anything wrong. We chalked it up to our imagination. As time progressed it seemed to get worse. We mentioned it a couple more times and they said they didn't hear of an issue or find anything with the inspections. Come to October of 2023 when we were feeling it even at speeds on the interstate, we again took it it. The service man then told us that this is happening with multiple vehicles. They thought they had a fix, but within 2 weeks it returned on other people. He said hold on. We are in contact with Ford to see what to do. He will let me know. Then in March 2024, I became so frustrated I called them again asking if they heard anything from Ford. He said bring it in. I asked if that was something they were taking care of or I was responsible for. He responded, let's just get it in and see. I got a call the back after his 'inspection' to tell me the 'fix' didn't work but it was only $70 and we needed a new transmission that was $4500. I was so flustered at that point, I had him call my husband. (I was literally on my way to hospital with an emergency). This has been ongoing for years and I have been pushed off and now that it's not under warranty I am responsible for something that they don't even know is wrong. I have been recommended to read Ford blogs regarding this and this is a know problem with vehicle and a know tactic with dealerships to avoid responsibility. Frustrated!!!!

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
While driving on freeway, car began to drive poor and overheat, coolant was drained rapidly. Had to keep car at 40mph to get to rest stop to add more coolant. Upon dealer inspection, coolant leak into the engine was found. Engine only had <48k miles, and car has been maintained well. Car was 3 months past warranty, and the entire engine replacement cost of $8300 is not covered by ford for an obvious design defect that is risky for people driving these types of engines on the road.

POWER TRAIN
After 60k miles the vehicle shifts so hard it jerks when getting off the highway and also in town. The vehicle was purchased brand new. The vehicle was looked at by the dealership who was able to reproduce the issue. They advised that an update to the software was needed and the transmission would need replaced. Took for a 2nd opinion, at a transmission specialist, they were unable to reproduce the issue (after the software update) and advised that they did not feel comfortable replacing the transmission when they are unable to reproduce the issue. The issue mainly happens coming off highway to driving in city when going from 70mph to 30mph or going up hill from a stop. There are no warning lights that come on for this issue. This issue was observed by multiple family members. It appears as though this is not the first 2019 Ford Edge with the issue. There is a whole thread about this specific issue on [XXX] , where it was suggested to put in a complaint here.
