POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Bought a used 2019 Ford Edge, and transmission had issues within 2weeks of minimal operation!! Transmission slippage, does not go into gear or has a long pause going into gear (even right from park). VERY HARD shifts in lower gears upon upshift AND downshift. Also, gets worse the longer you drive it. It jerks, bucks, lurches, snaps your neck forward or backward, or does not go at all!! After this happens for a few minutes, it wouldn't even go into reverse!! That's just TRYING to drive it. As you might imagine, it's quite difficult to concentrate on road signs, hazards, pedestrians, and other cars whilst you're trying to drive this thing!! How could FORD possibly even think this is a safe vehicle!!

POWER TRAIN
My transmission shuddered and became inoperable. We were traveling on Interstate 25 just north of Denver, CO when this happened, and we had to get out and push the vehicle to the side and have the vehicle towed. The safety of my family were put at risk due to this issue. As of writing this, the vehicle has yet to be seen by the dealer. There were no warning lamps on the vehicle prior to this issue occurring.

while traveling the car begins lurching and jerking until it reaches 40 MPH, At that seed it resumes traveling smoothly. As soon as it slows down the lurching and jerking resume. We have taken it to a dealership, and they claim it is the transmission. The problem started approximately 2 months ago at 74,000 miles.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
My car had issues like harsh/hard shifting, jerking, hesitation, and a "shuddering" sensation, often occurring at low speeds, I took it to the dealer several times for this issue, because the engine light keeps coming on, back in May 2025 they said they did a valve replacement that should fix the issue, yet the problem persisted, i took it back to the dealer and they said nothing wrong with it (not generating any error codes). Now again, the engine light came back, but this time while out of warranty, they are telling me it is complete transmission failure and are quoting me 12000 to replace it

Basically these cars are known to have major transmission problems that cause transmission failure, and my car is now experiencing the symptoms leading to that failure. I've seen a lot of people complaining about it, and though I guess it is my turn to get in on the complaints. Wasnt sure where else to do something like this.

My **2019 Ford Edge** experienced a **transmission / powertrain failure at under 60,000 miles**. Before the failure, the vehicle began **shuddering during acceleration, slipping between gears, shifting harshly, and bucking / jerking at low speeds**, especially in stop-and-go traffic and when accelerating from a stop. The transmission would often **hesitate before engaging a gear and then suddenly lurch forward**, creating a serious safety risk. This unpredictable behavior put me and others at risk when entering intersections, making turns, merging into traffic, and driving in parking lots or residential areas, where sudden bucking or delayed engagement could cause a collision or loss of control. The issue was **reproduced and confirmed by the dealer**, which determined the transmission needed to be **rebuilt under warranty despite the vehicle having fewer than 60,000 miles**. The vehicle was inspected by the servicing dealer, and repair records are available. However, **despite the warranty rebuild, the same problems continue to persist**, including shuddering, slipping gears, and bucking at low speed. This indicates the underlying defect was not properly corrected and raises concern that the transmission will fail again. There were clear symptoms prior to the repair, including rough shifting, hesitation, slipping, and shuddering, and those same symptoms have returned after the rebuild. I am submitting this complaint because a transmission requiring major repair at such low mileage, combined with continued safety-related drivability issues after warranty service, presents an ongoing safety concern.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Safety Complaint – 2019 Ford Edge Transmission and Engine Shutdown Issues To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint to report ongoing safety-related defects with my 2019 Ford Edge, which I purchased new. At 30,000 miles, the auto on/off stopped working and was not fixed. After approximately 50,000 miles, the vehicle began shutting off after refueling. At 68,000 miles, the transmission started shuddering during acceleration. There was no warning light, I just noticed that something was wrong. This behavior is extremely concerning, as it creates a risk of sudden loss of power while driving and could result in an accident. Ford is aware of these issues but has not issued a recall. I paid to have the torque converter replaced; however, the same transmission problem has returned. Ford has declined to provide further assistance. Additionally, the check engine light is now illuminated, which Ford attributes to a software issue. Despite multiple repair attempts and clear safety concerns, these problems remain unresolved. I respectfully request that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration review this matter, as the defects appear to be systemic and pose a potential risk to drivers. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Our torque converter has gone out on our vehicle. It has been meticulously maintained with fluid changes and every service when needed at mileage intervals. It started showing symptoms at 63k miles which is unacceptable for a transmission to start dying already. Looking online lots of other drivers have the same issue but ford refuses to acknowledge this transmission sucks and wants us to cover their incompetence. Would never buy another ford again.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30-55 MPH, the vehicle shuddered abnormally. The vehicle was taken on three occasions to the local dealer and was diagnosed with torque converter failure. The contact was informed that the transmission fluid was burned, and there were metal shavings inside the transmission fluid. Additionally, the spark plugs and injectors were checked. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
