| Oct 2024 | STRUCTURE,ENGINE | 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 | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Oct 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | POWER TRAIN | Started experiencing transmission problems including harsh shifting, shuttering, lurching, hesitating, or slowing down when shifting gears at about 80,000 miles.

| Oct 2024 | 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.

| Sep 2024 | POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | POWER TRAIN | Vehicle has bad shifting and LURCHES AT STOPS Transmission. Torque converter, oil cooler all need replaced Problem has been confirmed by both a independent service center and dealership Inspected by dealership Took for inspection because of issue. Ford has informed me there is not a recall on this vehicle and warranty expired in Mar 24, Vehicle has 43, 715 miles and I am being told I have to foot the $7,876.36 repair bill. There is a Ford Technical Service Bulletin - 21-2081 but they say this does not apply to this vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | POWER TRAIN | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | POWER TRAIN | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | POWER TRAIN | The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. No warning light was illuminated. The contact researched and was made aware of Technical Service Bulletin Number: 21-2389. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed.

| Sep 2024 | POWER TRAIN | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Sep 2024 | WHEELS | Ford tells me the Lug nuts on my car's tires have become loose, expanded. My car has only 31k miles. Yet, these faulty parts make it at risk of tires flying off while driving!! Ford wants to charge me to replace their faulty nuts. That's nuts! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | POWER TRAIN | Bought the vehicle used in July 2022 with around 80,000 miles. After 2 weeks of owning, vehicle started to shift weird and didn't seem to be driving normal. No warning or codes popped up but called dealership to see if they knew what was going on. Took it in and had them hook it up to their systems and still had no codes. Then after test driving, said that it was the torque converter. They replaced it and the vehicle seemed to drive fine until about 11 or 10 months later. The vehicle started to have similar issues but worse. Misfiring when driving in traffic, transmission seemed like it was skipping gears, was worried it was going to shut off and I was going to loose power steering when on the interstate one time. Called the dealership and was told they couldn't do anything unless I paid at this point. Took it to a small transmission shop and had them check it out. The flushed the whole transmission and said they fluid was terrible and their was metal scapes in the fluid as well. Told me it was best to get rid of it but I still owed too much money on it to do anything. Now a year later, I am back to the same issues. Transmission is causing problems, not shifting into gears properly, shifting very hard, jerking when shifting. Scared to drive it in traffic incase it breaks down or completely blows the transmission. I have found a Ford Forum with over 80 other individuals who are having the same issues and begging Ford to do something about this. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
