POWER TRAIN
Upon purchasing the vehicle from a used car dealer, within the first week the car had to go to the mechanic. There was shuddering/buck in the acceleration of the car. The vehicle was not performing like it was supposed to . Acceleration was low while rpm’s ran high. The dealer mechanic serviced the transmission 3 separate times with over a month of being in the shop. Just recently I took my vehicle to ford and was notified that the transmission was slipping in 3rd and fifth gears. PERFORM TEARDOWN ON TRANSMISSION. RECOMMEND TORQUE CONVERTER.

POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Just recently as I was driving, I got off the freeway and my vehicle started jerking really hard when changed gears. It has been doing it ever since. I tried taking it to the dealership to assess the issue and they said it would be about a week before they could even look at the possible transmission issues and that I would have to leave the vehicle with them in order to get it in line to be assessed. After looking into my particular vehicle is seems that this is a common issue with the 2019 edge.

ENGINE
The vehicle was not shifting properly and was surging while traveling at lower and higher speeds. There was NO CHECK ENGINE light on or any other warning lights at all. The vehicle is in my name, however, my daughter drives 9 hours for college by herself and could have been at risk of injury had the vehicle stalled in the wintertime between Minnesota and Kansas. I drove it while she was home over the winter break and noticed it. I took it to a Ford dealer and they said the transmission needed to be replaced. I went from diagnosing there was a problem myself with no warning lights to the dealer saying this is very common for the Ford Ecoboost engines and that the car is not drivable at all. He was also concerned the low coolant level was due to an engine failure which he said they've also seen a lot of. The vehicle only has 57,000 miles on it, however, it is 6 months past warranty. I have read the Ford forums about this vehicle and there are SO MANY people who have experienced the same thing and Ford refuses to do a recall to cover their mistake. There needs to be a recall on this to protect consumers like myself. This is so frustrating. Now I need to pay out of pocket for a new transmission on a car that I need to get rid of ASAP after hearing about all of the engine failures. I know that would be next, which would put my daughter at risk once again on the road.

ENGINE, SEAT BELTS
December 19, 2024, engine failure and seatbelt failure. The seatbelt went loose and would not retract, lights started blinking on dash, car smelt funny the air coming through vents in to the cab of vehicle, white smoke out the tail pipe and then warning to pull over, temperature, check engine. I pulled over and called a tow truck. After getting my vehicle towed to certified mechanic, they advised my engine and chassie was 2018 model even though the VIN list it as 2019. I contacted Ford for recall on these items and they said they only go off the VIN. I did research along with the mechanic and there has been recalls and TSB for these items and several others my 2018 parts should have been inspected and FORD refused to do so. The engine failure is due to the coolant leaking into the engine. Whole engine needs replaced. Ford is refusing to assist in this matter. I have filed an official complaint with FORD, CXH-03434375-W8X5T6. There is several others that I believe my car should be checked for. Why is FORD refusing to repair my engine and chassie parts that are stamped 2018? This is a great risk and liability.
