ENGINE
I was driving and white smoke started coming out of my exhaust. The vehicle was idling erratically. I pulled over and took it to the side of the road. Ended up taking it to the dealership, they confirmed it needs a new engine because of coolant intrusion. This is a known issue to the dealership and public knowledge that the 2019 Ford Edge 2.0 ecoboost engines have this defect . They quoted me $15,000 to replace the engine.

ENGINE
When I had accelerated to pass a vehicle, the car acted as though it had been flooded with fuel, but then wasn’t getting enough fuel. It was shuttering/shaking and then eventually it completely shut down in the middle of traffic. I was in the left lane. The car would not start. I could not get it out of park to be able to get it off the road, causing a traffic delay and safety hazard to me and other cars on the road. This was during 5 o’clock traffic on a very busy road.

POWER TRAIN
Car shudders, hesitates and feels like it is going to stall at lower speeds. Vehicle has 39500 miles on it. Taken to local dealership and it was diagnosed with needing the Torque Converter replaced. This seems to be an ongoing issue with this component and should be a recall

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Vehicle has 78000 miles on it and has started to stutter/struggle to find gears between what I believe to be 3rd and 5th gear. It generally happens between 25-40 mph. This has consistently happened whether the vehicle is cold or warm. This, according to many forums I’ve seen, is a common issue with this model of vehicle and transmission. It was brought into my local ford dealership on 2/17/2026 with approximately 75000 miles on it and they told us we are in need of a transmission replacement.

POWER TRAIN
Torque converter failure caused a transmission rebuilt covered under the 5 year 75,000 mile warranty. Approximately 14 months later it failed again this time Ford wants me to pay for their incompetence upwards of $5000 because it is past the 5 years. This is a major ongoing problem with the Ford Edge and should be subjected to a recall because the failure rate is so high.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, the engine overheated. Coolant was added to the coolant reservoir, and the driver was able to continue driving. Several days later, the heat became inoperable. Upon research, the failure was associated with TSB 19-2346. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for a pressure test, but no leaks were found. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The message "Coolant Low" was displayed. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with coolant intrusion into the engine. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

At 78k miles the transmission/torque converter needs to be replaced due to a “shudder” felt between 20-30 mph at lower rpm’s. Higher engine rpm’s (rapid acceleration) and the shudder is not felt - but the issue is still there. Repair cost from Ford was quoted at $9600 for a new transmission. This is ridiculous. Seems like a great way for Ford to ensure they get paid downstream as well as up front.

2019 Ford Edge shudders and fails to accelerate making it difficult and unsafe to merge with traffic, execute left turns, and drive safely. There are no warning lights. This appears to be a known problem with the torque converter but no recall has been issued.

POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
While driving on the highway the vehicle lost all power and it completely shutdown which was very scary. There was never any warning lights on dashboard and was told it was probably due to bad gasoline. Now the cruise control is shutting off an long with hesitation. Again no warning lights. Ford dealership said it was the spark plugs and coils, wanted to charge me $800! Local mechanic ran a diagnostics confirmed it is the torque converter…alot of confusion with ford diagnostic . This is a huge safety issue when driving in traffic, is very expensive and needs to be addressed.

When driving the vehicle, my husband noticed the engine was over heating. He pulled over and had the vehicle towed to a mechanic. The mechanic advised us that the engine is loosing coolant and this was a known issue with the 2019 Ford Edges. So now we are facing an expensive engine replacement.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
This is a 2019 Ford Edge in great condition. I just purchased the vehicle with roughly 90000 miles on it. After roughly 2 weeks of driving, I noticed the vehicle struggles to get up to speed, and the gears shift roughly, especially after a cold start. Additionally, while driving, the gears would struggle to downshift, staying at a higher RPM than it should, such as being stuck at 4000 RPM while driving 30mph, and it would stay like this for about 1-2 minutes. Additionally, from time to time, the reverse gear will not engage at all, this is a major safety concern, God forbid I am somewhere I need to back out from and there is obstruction in the front, only God knows what trouble I would be in. There have been recalls for such cars. It is unfortunate that Ford has not opened an active recall for others with this issue. Please help, this car costs too much, and I fear for my wife and newborn's safety with transmission issues.

ENGINE
Incident Summary On February 14, 2026, without warning, the vehicle stalled and shut down while I was backing into my driveway. The engine restarted briefly only to fail again. Two independent mechanics have confirmed a blown head gasket resulting from coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders that is consistent with the well-documented defect affecting this engine platform. The vehicle is currently inoperable. This failure occurred while I am [XXX] pregnant, with my minor child present in the vehicle. A sudden engine shutdown at highway speeds could have resulted in serious bodily injury or worse. The safety implications of this defect are substantial. 2019 Ford Edge SEL AWD (VIN: [XXX] ) equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine — a vehicle widely associated with the known coolant intrusion defect currently subject to litigation.
