| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | 1. The transmission/torque converter causes the car to shift randomly causing almost constant jerking motion especially between 10-40 mph. This tends to lead to reduced power output as the car is constantly shifting gears or stuck is an incorrect gear. Yes, it is available for inspection. This issue is described in TSB 21-2389, which I have had preformed on the vehicle by ford but did not fix the issues. 2. Safety is impacted by the shifting gear reducing the available power output and inconsistent speeds. 3. I have had it in with the Ford Dealership and an independent mechanic. Both could reproduce it. Ford updated the software per TSB 21-2389 which is supposed to address the specific problem, but it did not fix it. The independent dealer reset the control unit, but that also did not fix the issue. 4. Only the ford dealership and independent mechanic. 5.

| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Ford Edge has a major issue with their drive system pertaining primary to the power train/Transmissions/torque converter. Looking at the complaints on google, you will see that Ford is reluctant to address these issues even when they should be covered under warranty or extended warranty. The issue becomes a safety problem when trying to make a left-hand turn in front of oncoming traffic The vehicle may or may not accelerate in a normal matter resulting in a near miss situation. The vehicle has a tendency to stall/shutter due to issues between the torque converter and the transmission. The problem is known to Ford and their dealerships, but they are refusing to take the corrective action required to address the problem. This should be a mandatory recall. We have had my wife's 2019 Ford Edge at the dealership 6 time for numerous attempts to resolve this issue. It will be going back again this week for trip number 7. In the meantime, I am forced to purchase her another vehicle so that she has something safe to drive. I have been a loyal Ford customer for the past several years. The last 3 vehicles I purchase included an F150, Fusion and this edge. Ford needs to step up and correct this issue before someone is in a tragic accident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Transmissions failed and needs to be replaced. It's a common known issue which Ford is not addressing. Please step in and hold Ford accountable.

| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Transmission / Powertrain shudder in 25-45 mpa. There is service bulletein but that is not fixing the issue. Still issue is there after $1500 service. This is our second vehicle with same problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN | I own a 2019 Ford Edge SEL with 80,000 miles on it. A couple of months ago I started noticing a jerking, bucking while driving between 25 to 40 miles per hour. It acted like it was trying shift gears but was having issues getting into the next gear. I had it checked at my local repair shop that has worked on this vehicle in the past. At that time, they told me to continue to drive it and monitor the shifting problems. I did and yesterday I took it back and that time they diagnosed as a bad torque convertor and that I needed a new/rebuilt transmission at approximately $8,800.00. After doing some research online, Ford owner's websites, I was surprised to see how many people the same problem and how little Ford have was helping. This is NOT an owner's problem, this is a Ford problem and should be corrected by Ford. It's poor quality and could lead to accidents and perhaps injuries. I would like you to require Ford to stand behind their products and repair/reimburse owners for any and all problems with this model. Thank you | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,POWER TRAIN | The contact’s wife owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked when the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle lost power. The check engine, power train, and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the wastegate was stuck closed in the turbocharger valve, and the turbocharger valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred four months later while driving at an undisclosed speed. The contact stated that during the failure, the vehicle lost power and failed to accelerate as intended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic again where it was diagnosed that the wastegate was stuck closed again, and turbo turbocharger valve needed to be replaced. On another occasion, the contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, his wife observed white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The contact stated that his wife then observed that the EGR and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The message "Engine Overheating” was displayed. The vehicle was steered off the highway and restarted three times after cooling down and was taken back to the same independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the EGR valve had failed, the coolant level was low, and there was coolant passing through the exhaust EGR coolant system and had leaked into the exhaust system. The contact was informed that the EGR system needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,654. | Crash: No Fire: No | 33,654 |
| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Jerks when accelerating. Does not accelerate properly when accelerating from a stopped position. Reactions times slower due to the torque converter. FORD has diagnosed it as the torque converter. There are forums online stating this exact problem with other 2019 Edges. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The ADAS system has caused erratic and extremely unsafe behavior on multiple occasions. This behavior includes the car slamming on the brakes at high snd low speeds on clear sections of roadway in what appears to be attempts to avoid a shadow or imaginary object in the road. The car has also swerved to avoid a shadow on a tree lined street. Most recently this automatic emergency braking occurred at 70 mph on an interstate with following traffic behind the vehicle nearly causing a high speed rear end accident. On the same trip, the lane keeping assist guided the vehicle beyond the striping toward the road edge and has attempted to have the car change planes while traversing across a crossover for an intersecting road. Regaining control of the vehicle in all of these incidents has required aggressive actions on the part of the Driver to resist/mitigate the braking or steering decisions of the car. The car was purchased with 89k miles on it 5 months ago. The vehicle has not yet been taken to dealer to report or investigate this issue which has also occurred with our 2020 Ford Explorer. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

Ford could not find the problem now at 54000 miles I need a new transmission the model needs a recall for the Transmission this is a frequent problem that is well documented on the internet.

| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | During normal driving conditions in stop and go traffic the engine coolant over-temperature warning message displayed on the dashboard. Also, for a couple days prior to this incident, the vehicle exhibited hesitation when attempting to accelerate, and the engine was very close to stalling multiple times. There wear no other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The vehicle was towed to a local Ford dealership, where it was confirmed the issue was related to existing TSB 20-2234 (2.0L EcoBoost - Illuminated MIL With Various DTCs And/Or Low Coolant Level, White Smoke From Tailpipe And/Or External Coolant Leak), and repairs were completed. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN | While driving on the highway my Ford Edge starting shuttering/sputtering when I gave the vehicle gas. I went to the car dealer and they recommended changing the spark plugs. The car still sputtered and started getting worst when ever I gave the vehicle gas. Even at 30 - 40 mph the car sputtered. I took the car to the dealership today, April 9, 2025 and was told there was an issue with the "Torque Converter". I googled this and found a Ford Forum and found other people having the same issue. Some and issue with the cost of repair, some could not find the part, some with concerns of why no recall, and some with concerns getting issue fixed and it breaking down again. I ask that you investigate this issue, request a recall, and a secondary insurance if it breaks again after getting repaired.

| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Last year I paid $2000 to fix an Exhaust Gas Recirculation Cooler. There is a current TSB on this issue. The car overheated. They claim it’s not covered under the drive train warranty. Now a year later, my torque converter is bad and they are quoting me $4000 to fix. This is a 2019 model year with 61,000 miles. Im certain that one problem led to the other. They refused to fix the EGR cooler under warranty because i was one month over the 5 years, even though we purchased it in July - their warranty starts when the car hits the dealers lot. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | My car is a 2019 Ford Edge I almost got into a accident because the transmission went out of gear and the car would slow down and sometimes just speed up | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Jerking and bucking around 30-50 mph when trying to drive. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2025 | POWER TRAIN | There is a known issue with the transmission of this vehicle. Ford issued a Technical Service Bulletin to try and resolve the issue by reprogramming the solenoids, but the issue persists & leads to catastrophic drive train failure if left unrepaired. I just purchased this vehicle with only 72k miles & now the dealer is quoting me almost $10k more in repairs. There should be a recall issued to fix the known transmission issue at no cost to the owner, whether under warranty or not. This is a serious and well known issue that affects the majority of these vehicles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
