POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
1. The transmission/torque converter causes the car to shift randomly causing almost constant jerking motion especially between 10-40 mph. This tends to lead to reduced power output as the car is constantly shifting gears or stuck is an incorrect gear. Yes, it is available for inspection. This issue is described in TSB 21-2389, which I have had preformed on the vehicle by ford but did not fix the issues. 2. Safety is impacted by the shifting gear reducing the available power output and inconsistent speeds. 3. I have had it in with the Ford Dealership and an independent mechanic. Both could reproduce it. Ford updated the software per TSB 21-2389 which is supposed to address the specific problem, but it did not fix it. The independent dealer reset the control unit, but that also did not fix the issue. 4. Only the ford dealership and independent mechanic. 5. There are no warning lamps or messages.

POWER TRAIN
Ford Edge has a major issue with their drive system pertaining primary to the power train/Transmissions/torque converter. Looking at the complaints on google, you will see that Ford is reluctant to address these issues even when they should be covered under warranty or extended warranty. The issue becomes a safety problem when trying to make a left-hand turn in front of oncoming traffic The vehicle may or may not accelerate in a normal matter resulting in a near miss situation. The vehicle has a tendency to stall/shutter due to issues between the torque converter and the transmission. The problem is known to Ford and their dealerships, but they are refusing to take the corrective action required to address the problem. This should be a mandatory recall. We have had my wife's 2019 Ford Edge at the dealership 6 time for numerous attempts to resolve this issue. It will be going back again this week for trip number 7. In the meantime, I am forced to purchase her another vehicle so that she has something safe to drive. I have been a loyal Ford customer for the past several years. The last 3 vehicles I purchase included an F150, Fusion and this edge. Ford needs to step up and correct this issue before someone is in a tragic accident.

POWER TRAIN
I own a 2019 Ford Edge SEL with 80,000 miles on it. A couple of months ago I started noticing a jerking, bucking while driving between 25 to 40 miles per hour. It acted like it was trying shift gears but was having issues getting into the next gear. I had it checked at my local repair shop that has worked on this vehicle in the past. At that time, they told me to continue to drive it and monitor the shifting problems. I did and yesterday I took it back and that time they diagnosed as a bad torque convertor and that I needed a new/rebuilt transmission at approximately $8,800.00. After doing some research online, Ford owner's websites, I was surprised to see how many people the same problem and how little Ford have was helping. This is NOT an owner's problem, this is a Ford problem and should be corrected by Ford. It's poor quality and could lead to accidents and perhaps injuries. I would like you to require Ford to stand behind their products and repair/reimburse owners for any and all problems with this model. Thank you

Jerks when accelerating. Does not accelerate properly when accelerating from a stopped position. Reactions times slower due to the torque converter. FORD has diagnosed it as the torque converter. There are forums online stating this exact problem with other 2019 Edges.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
The contact’s wife owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked when the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle lost power. The check engine, power train, and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the wastegate was stuck closed in the turbocharger valve, and the turbocharger valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred four months later while driving at an undisclosed speed. The contact stated that during the failure, the vehicle lost power and failed to accelerate as intended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic again where it was diagnosed that the wastegate was stuck closed again, and turbo turbocharger valve needed to be replaced. On another occasion, the contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, his wife observed white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The contact stated that his wife then observed that the EGR and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The message "Engine Overheating” was displayed. The vehicle was steered off the highway and restarted three times after cooling down and was taken back to the same independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the EGR valve had failed, the coolant level was low, and there was coolant passing through the exhaust EGR coolant system and had leaked into the exhaust system. The contact was informed that the EGR system needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,654.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
The ADAS system has caused erratic and extremely unsafe behavior on multiple occasions. This behavior includes the car slamming on the brakes at high snd low speeds on clear sections of roadway in what appears to be attempts to avoid a shadow or imaginary object in the road. The car has also swerved to avoid a shadow on a tree lined street. Most recently this automatic emergency braking occurred at 70 mph on an interstate with following traffic behind the vehicle nearly causing a high speed rear end accident. On the same trip, the lane keeping assist guided the vehicle beyond the striping toward the road edge and has attempted to have the car change planes while traversing across a crossover for an intersecting road. Regaining control of the vehicle in all of these incidents has required aggressive actions on the part of the Driver to resist/mitigate the braking or steering decisions of the car. The car was purchased with 89k miles on it 5 months ago. The vehicle has not yet been taken to dealer to report or investigate this issue which has also occurred with our 2020 Ford Explorer.
