POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
My cars rpm's started randomly jumping which would coincide with a slight jerking feeling when the car shifted gears. First I was told it was my spark plugs and then the coil packs. When both of those were changed and the problem persisted they ran multiple diagnostic tests and came up with nothing. Then my car started to shudder when I put gas in it and then the radio screen and door locks would intermittently stop working and again they found no error codes. Then my pre-collision warning system started going off when there are no cars even remotely near. The same for my blind spot indicators. They just go off for no reason. Now after months of issues and zero error codes, they say it's the transmission failing and it will cost me $6,000 to fix. That's assuming that is actually the problem.

ENGINE, STRUCTURE:BODY
Engine: Severe surging at low power settings, especially during engine warm-up. This surging is not related to air conditioner compressor cycling on/off, or turbo lag. Body: Rear hatch "kick to open" feature often activates suddenly without warning and without a deliberate kick motion by operator. This feature cannot be disabled; only the actuator can be disabled using instrument panel menus. This creates a condition where any inadvertent "open" command using any device will unlatch, but not open, the hatch. This can lead to loss of internal security and/or driving with an unlatched hatch. Thank You

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The EGR Cooler (K2GZ-9F464-A) on my 2019 Ford Edge Titanum EcoBoost 2L cracked acutely while driving my children to school. No warning lights came on at any point. Once the car was in park, I noticed large amounts of smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipes. I had my children in the car strapped into car seats. Should the car have caught fire my children's lives would have been in jeopardy. Our lives would have also been at risk for injury should my car have completely failed while driving. This part failure has been confirmed by a repair shop. July 09, 2020, there was a TSB by Ford issued for: 2.0L EcoBoost - Illuminated MIL With Various DTCs And/Or Low Coolant Level, White Smoke from Tailpipe And/Or External Coolant Leak. However, this known failure with TSB information was not dispelled to me (the public) through Ford Pass App or by Ford Corporate or the Ford Dealer, where I purchased the car in 2020. A simple PCM software update would have prevented this issue for occurring. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The issue occurred on 10/02/2024.

Started experiencing transmission problems including harsh shifting, shuttering, lurching, hesitating, or slowing down when shifting gears at about 80,000 miles. Put myself and child in danger on the freeway. Took the vehicle into the ford dealership repair shop and they are reporting that I need a new transmission. I bought an extended warranty and their rep will be coming out to inspect this week. No warning lights came on.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I literally financed a 2019 Ford Edge with 88k miles on [XXX] from SUTTON FORD in Matteson IL. I didn’t even have the car 5 hours and the transmission started having serious shifting issues and almost caused me to get in a crack with my son in the car. Took it back to SUTTON FORD and they are telling me the transmission is bad and needs to be replaced. I think this is a problem considering how long I’ve had them vehicle and it is a safety concern that needs to be addressed.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The vehicle is a 2019 Ford Edge AWD. At 39,500 miles white smoke comes out of tailpipe, engine coolant quickly disappears, engine runs rough and check engine comes on. At this point the vehicle is undrivable and won’t respond to gas pedal inputs. Appears to be a known engine issue; however, dealer says it’s an exhaust gas recirculation pump and parts needing replacement, with approximate cost of $2000. This is a premature failure of an engine and may cause a safety concern if driving at highway speeds. Vehicle is out of 5 year warranty with 4/2019 build date.

My 2019 Ford Edge SEL is having transmission issues that ford knows about, as many customers have the same issue starting between 37K to 60K miles. The transmission is jerky between 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, and 3rd to 4th gear. It starts from 15mph to 40 mph. No check engine light comes on. Sometimes it doesn't want to shift into the next gear briefly and I don't drive the vehicle hard at all. Vehicle has been taken to Ford for them to say that it needs a software update and possibly a torque converter to be replaced. i have 54K miles on the vehicle and I purchased it used in August of 2022 with 41K miles on it because of the inventory shortage.

POWER TRAIN
Vehicle began shuddering and losing power while driving. Issues are related to automatic transmission gear shifts. Gears seem to be slipping or not shifting correctly. Tachometer is revving without acceleration at times. Check engine and ford app errors indicate powertrain issue. When slowing down, car randomly acted as if the brake had been pushed hard. If I had not been on a road without other vehicles, a crash would have been likely. Car has been taken to local dealer, who had not yet diagnosed, but has already indicated this is a common issue with 2019 edges and will likely be an expensive fix.

Vehicle began shuddering when accelerating from approx. 20 mph to 50 mph several months ago. It was not always consistent at first, but steadily began worsening. Firestone was unable to diagnose. We though maybe dirty fuel system, but fuel injector cleaner made no difference. Took it to Ford dealer and diagnosed as failing torque converter. Upon further research determined that Ford had issued recalls for other models and years but not ours for this part, but I found numerous reports in discussion forums online of this same part failing in our year and model. Part is currently backordered with no ETA and fortunately we have 1 month and approx. 2000 mi remaining of powertrain warranty so it will be covered. However, Ford cannot provide ETA on the part and I have concerns of manufacturing quality for the replacement part we are awaiting as well as concerns for other drivers with the same vehicle. I called Ford customer service and they advised to submit a report to NHTSA and the only way for me to formally submit a complaint directly to Ford is by snail mail to a PO Box. So, I'm submitting this report in hopes an investigation will be opened about this issue and pressure will be applied to Ford to boost inventory of this critical part and begin a recall process.

I purchased a 2019 Ford Edge (ecoboost) with 49,000 miles. At approximately 55,000 miles the transmission began shifting erratically, cause the vehicle to lurch and then arbitrarily stop. I had the transmission fluid drained and replaced and the transmission performance appeared to improve for approximately 6,000 miles. The erratic shifting, lurching and stopping returned. This behavior placed myself and my passengers at extreme risk as the arbitrary changes in speed (and stopping) would occur without notice, while driving in traffic. I brought the car to my mechanic (who is a recently retired Ford service manager). He was able to confirm the problem and directed me to a transmission mechanic with expertise in Ford transmissions. He inspected the transmission and confirmed several defective components in the transmission. He further indicated that after-market upgraded parts have been produced as a result of the prevalence of this issue. The mechanic indicated that the transmission must be rebuilt. No warning lamps were present until the vehicle went into a constant state of erratic shifting, lurching and stopping.
