| Jun 2025 | POWER TRAIN | TRANSMISSION FLUID FULL AND BLACK IN COLOR. TORQUE CONVERTER CAME APART WHICH RESULTED IN MATERIALS ON DIP STICK AND BAD SHUDDER SHIFTING ON THE 1-2 AND 2-3. DEALERSHIP WAS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REQUESTING ASSISTANCE WITH THE SHUDDERING ISSUE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THEY COULD FIX. EACH SERVICE LEVEL STATES THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE CHECKED, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE DIPSTICK THAT THEY DO NOT CHECK. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE AN ISSUE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP DID DIAGNOSE WITH THE CODE: 61439 TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDS REPLACING | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | POWER TRAIN | The transmission, particularly from 3 to 4 and some from 5 to 6 jerks. This is a continuing issue with this model. My shop has told me it was the Torque Converter and is common with 2019 Edges. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | ENGINE | Engine - Yes it is available for inspection. Approximately a year/18 months I was driving on the interstate and the engine shut down. I was required to pull over four lanes with no power. I took it to a Ford dealership in Franklin, TN. Supposedly it was fixed. However I now have a problem with the engine missing. I took it to my routine service repair center and their mechanic advised me coolant was seeping into the engine block. No messages or warnings were desplayed. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge.

No further information was available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 134,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 134,000 |
| Jun 2025 | POWER TRAIN | I bought my edge 19 days ago and now I’m 16,000 dollars in debt, and my transmission suffered catastrophic failure. Previous owner had it serviced often and I serviced it as soon as I purchased it. Dealer won’t take it back, and I’m left paying $350 a month for the next 5 years, and I am not able to afford another car. I have zero transportation thanks to fords horrible 8 speed. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Transmission has had the lumpy shifting issue at lower speeds/gears since we bought it used from a local Ford Dealer. This appears to be a common problem if the reports in various internet forums is to be believed. PCM was upgraded, didn't help. Now the lumpiness has increased to bucking, making the car close to undriveable. In addition when accelerating hard there is a considerable delay in actual increased movement, almost caused a wreck at one point. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Vehicle has 85K miles and shudders at 10-30 mph. Powertrain malfunction/Reduced Power warning light comes and goes randomly.

Have seen other owners with same make/model that have same issue or have had complete transmission failure or replacement. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | POWER TRAIN | The transmission has gone out at 111,000 miles. We had taken it to the dealer for it dying without warning and losing power like it wasn’t getting fuel. They put a sensor in it and said it was fixed. When we left the dealership it seemed fine but in a few days the whistling came back. Ford wants $9800.00 to fix the same problem in other 2019 but my VIN is not on the recall list. The Edge was jerking and shifting hard. Going forward when it was in reverse which are the same problems the recall on other 2019 Ford Edges. I am asking that you review this matter as I have found hundreds of people not being compensated by Ford’s unsafe design for the transmission in the 2019 Ford Edge vehicles. When I spoke to the dealer and Fords customer service, they basically said it was my problem not theirs. Ford wants $9,800.00 to repair it The transmission went out on June 1, 2025, after coming home from church. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jun 2025 | POWER TRAIN | The 8F35 transmission has started shuddering and jerking around 30-45 MPH. It makes accelerating on roads and highways very dangerous as the vehicle is hard to control. The shuddering and jerking is getting progressively worse. Took the vehicle in for TSB 21-2389 which reportedly addresses the issue, but it did not resolve it. Now Ford is quoting me $10k to replace the transmission. There are thousands of Ford owners with both the 6F35 and 8F35 transmission running into the same issue and being quoted thousands of dollars for a faulty transmission. Please please please do something to stop this mispractice. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| May 2025 | ENGINE | My 2019 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine began experiencing a misfire, loss of power, and white smoke from the exhaust. No engine light was on when it started and the car has less tan 46K miles. I had the car towed to a certified mechanic and he confirmed that coolant is leaking into my cylinders, which matches the issue described in Ford TSB 19-2346. This appears to be a widespread manufacturing defect affecting many vehicles with this engine. The presence of coolant in the combustion chamber caused catastrophic engine failure and poses a safety risk due to sudden loss of power while driving. I have been told that to fix the issue I need to replace the whole engine. Repair costs are estimated at $10,600 for an engine replacement at a local repair shop. I would expect it to be even higher from a Ford dealer. Ford has acknowledged this defect in a TSB 19-2346, but no recall has been issued. I am submitting this complaint so NHTSA is aware of the defect and its safety implications. I urge NHTSA to investigate this issue and require Ford to take responsibility. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
