| Jun 2024 | POWER TRAIN | The transmission is shuttering and jerking at lower speeds when shifting. Feels unsafe when jerks into gear. It happens everyday it is driven.

| Jun 2024 | WHEELS | I took my 2019 Ford Edge Titanium in for an oil change and tire rotation. Ford would not do a tire rotation because of the swollen lug nuts. What? 5000 miles earlier I brought the vehicle in, and Nothing was said about swollen lug nuts at that time. I was told that I would have to purchase 20 new ones for 200.00. I could purchase the Ford brand or an aftermarket brand. There is no guarantee that the lug nuts may not have to be purchased again because of this issue. If this is a true safety issue, this is on you, Ford! Keep your customers safe and have a RECALL on lug nuts and not make me pay for your mistake! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jun 2024 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I am having trouble with my car jerking when accelerating between 30 and 50 mph. I originally began to have trouble with my 2019 Ford Edge on 5/13/22. On this date, the car began to overheat and I ended up having to incur the expense of not only having the car towed; but also of retrieving the car as the closest Ford dealership at the time was 5 hours away from my home. In this instance, the car was repaired under warranty and a code of TSB 20-2234. Shortly after the repair, I noticed that my car's wifi was no longer working; and, when I inquired I was told that there would be a $400 diagnostic fee. Furthermore, after about 6 months I noticed that the car would begin to jerk when accelerating. There were no console warnings, just an irregularity when driving. I took it back to the dealership on 8-28-2023 for the acceleration issue. I was given a rental car while they reviewed the issue. The repair cost me $600. After about 6 months, the issue returned and persisted. Until I finally turned the car in on 5-1-2024. After 26 days, I was given an estimate of more than $4,000 for diagnostic services and repairs. I trusted Ford Motor Company so I did everything to be a good client, pay my bill and retrieve my car as quickly as possible. I turned in the rental car on 5/27/24 and was able to pay my bill but 6/7/24. And not 24 hours later, I have the same jerking issue. It occurs when the car is accelerating between 30mph and 50mph; especially when going uphill. I have followed all factory requested specs and have had it serviced regularly. Clearly, there is an issue with this automobile. | Crash: No Fire: No | 102,428 |
| Jun 2024 | POWER TRAIN | Transmission jerks and acts as if it doesn't want to shift into place at speeds between 20-40 MPH. As per Fords protocol had the PCM reprogrammed, but that has not helped. I am being told it is the torque converter, possibly the transmission itself. Apparently this is a common and costly issue with this transmission. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2024 | ENGINE | We purchased a 2019 Ford Edge Titanium from Car Max. It is 5 years old with only 60k miles. While idling, the engine was bogging and running rough. In addition, a foul smell like firework smoke was coming from the vents. After bringing it to a repair pal certified mechanic, they diagnosed that coolant was leaking into cylinder 2, and we would need a new engine to rectify the issue. The 2019 Ford Edge we purchased was assemble in October 2018, as the 5 year warranty expired in October of 2023. It is experiencing the EXACT SAME problem as all earlier models that were part of the Ford recall. Consequently, we are experience emotional distress in rectifying this issue since the 2019 model year was not covered under the recall bulletin. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

The car is very well maintained and the Ford app says it's in excellent condition. Even though it's not. Ford diagnosed I need a new torque converter. 4,714.38 later. I was reading on line this is a common problem with this make, model, and mileage and Ford hasn't done anything about the. The service department acted surprised.

Box 6248 Dearborn, MI 48126 We've purchased several used Fords growing up and loved them and found them to be reliable like your Commercials and Mission Statements claims: Ford Motor Company's mission statement is "to help build a better world where people can move freely and pursue their dreams". The company's core values are "put people first", "do the right thing", "create tomorrow", "play to win", "be curious", "built Ford tough", and "one Ford". So we decided to purchase our very first BRAND NEW Ford Edge vehicle on [XXX] at Ford Auto Nation, not knowing we were sold a lemon. We do all necessary maintenance to all vehicles to avoid costly expenses. We started noticing some shuddering and took the vehicle to FORD but they wanted $200 for diagnosis and would not apply to repairs. Upon taking the vehicle to 2 local Auto Repair Shops on 12/2023 to 01/2024 they used the computerized diagnostic tool/On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system and could not collect any data from sensors and stating Zero Trouble Codes (DTCs) were generated. 1 mechanic recommended we change spark plugs and do other maintenance for $350 that would be used for later repairs Unfortunately issue remains. They wanted to hold on to the car for another week to do further inspections. Instead, I chose to take to FORD. [XXX] FORD charges $200 for Diagnose (Receipt Attached) and does not apply to the repairs. After the 1st week without any status update via several texts and calls, and not getting any updates. I was finally advised that the Transmission was shot and expected to pay $7K. My heart fell.
