POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE
The car jerks forward when gas pedal is lightly pressed up to 40mph. I'm continually almost hitting cars in traffic even when staying a good distance away. At first it will not go and then all of a sudden jerks. There is a TSB ion the transmission. It does a buck / shudder/jerk

POWER TRAIN
The vehicle bucks and hesitates when shifting into and out of lower gears. Likely the torque converter. Merging into a busy highway and attempting to accelerate but not actually gaining speed leaves you as a sitting duck to be hit by another driver. Likewise, coming to a stop at a traffic light is jerky and sudden instead of gradual and smooth, opening the door to potentially being rear-ended

ENGINE
I was driving on the freeway when an engine overheating warning light came on. I exited the freeway at the nearest exit and my vehicle lost power and white smoke was coming from the exhaust. My vehicle was towed to the nearest Ford dealership. Upon inspection, they discovered coolant was leaking into the exhaust and they repaired it pursuant to TSB 20-2234. This is a known issue to Ford as they have had many complaints of this same issue with all of the Ford models with the Ecoboost engine. They have offered full coverage for repairs of other models but not my vehicle. This issue could have caused a vehicle fire.

ENGINE
CEL light came on while at a stop light. Called my Ford dealership while I was at the light and made an appointment to bring my car in. Light went off after a couple of stops but I still took my car in as it had started to idle a little rough like it might want to stall. At first, service thought just new spark plugs were needed, but after installing them they noticed white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. Upon further inspection they saw there was coolant leaking into the engine through the head gasket and I needed either a new head gasket or a new engine. Car had 79724 mile on it, always been service on time at the Ford dealership, had just had it serviced November 8th and had them do the fuel induction service that they recommended. The car could have caught on fire, or stalled out while I was driving it. It is a good thing I took it in even though the CEL had gone off. This appears to be a known problem with the Ford Eco Boost engines and I see numerous complaints for this exact problem. I have had no accidents in this car and always serviced it at Ford.

POWER TRAIN
The car began sputtering and shaking between 20-30 miles and 60-80 miles December 2023 around 65.000 miles. After taking it to a local repair shop and trying a fuel system flush, changing spark plugs and ignition coil, it was determined that the transmission failed. I took it to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and was once again told that the transmission needed to replaced. I was also told that I should stop driving it because it could fail while driving. I bought the car brand new, took it to the dealer for all the recommended maintenance, and the transmission needs to be replaced on a four year old car with only 66,000 miles on it. The only warning was the sputtering whild driving. I called Ford and was told there was nothing they could do about it. I was told that when I fixed it to hold on to my receipt in the event Ford issues a recall.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The wrench light and check engine light continue to come on. The vehicle has been at the dealership for 5 weeks now and they cant figure out whats wrong with. This is the 3rd visit in 4 months for the same problem. The first time it occured driving it home from dealership the day we bought it. Codes continue to say powertrain malfunction/reduced power, specifically the torque convertor clutch failed to apply. This vechicle shifts very rough, especially when going uphill, there is random times the RPMs spike without us pressing the gas petal. This vehicle is a lemon and it is not safe to drive.

POWER TRAIN
When decelerating on an interstate offramp we felt/heard a hard down shift. When we accelerated form a dead stop there was a scraping sound. Reaching a parking lot we attempted to shift to park at which time we received a short message, the shift knob vibrated and the vehicle would not shift to park. After a second attempt the vehicle did shift and I was able to turn it off. After calling the Dealer we attempted to return home (<5 miles), the transmission would not shift into park. After turning the vehicle off and back on it would and we were able to drive home with the scraping sound noted in low gear. Vehicle was towed to dealer where it was determined the transmission (8F35) had free metal in it (no source determination) indicating a catastrophic failure and replacement was required. I am concerned that if such a failure occurred at high-speed loss of control could result in a serious accident with property damage and physical injury from a collision. The vehicle had under 100,000 so the transmission should not have failed in this time period. Cost of repair was $8,584. It is my understanding this is a new model (8F35) transmission and research identifies other incidences of the transmission failing between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. When asked, Ford refuses to admit there is any design flaw in the transmission or offer corrective action.

I started experiencing problems with my 2019 ford edge jerking when changing gears and over a few weeks it got worse. The jerking starts no matter what gear and no matter the speed, once you begin to accelerate or slow down and pick up speed the car has a horrible series of jerks! I took the car to a body shop and they told me it was the transmission so I scheduled an appointment with a transmission specialist well they told me it wasn’t the transmission because no codes come up in the computer. Well I was still experiencing problems with my car driving so I went to the ford dealership and they had me to come back over two days because they were unsure of the problem since the computer didn’t give a code. Finally the service manager tells me it’s the torque converter and will cost $3225 but Ford does not have any torque converters available and they are in a nationwide background free with no eta on when they will manufacture anymore! Not even Autozone or auto part stores have this torque converter! So I have to either replace my whole transmission or buy a new car! My car is not old and still have a significant amount on my car loan so it makes trading it in super hard! This is unacceptable! So I’m supposed to ride around with my car not only not switching gears correctly but the more I drive it the more I risk the transmission locking up on me in the middle of the highway and Ford has no fix for a problem that they created! This is absolutely unacceptable!!!! There should be a recall on this part as there are several forums online of people with 2019 ford edge with the EXACT same problem and in the same bind of not being able to find the piece to fix their cars!! Please help!
