| May 2024 | POWER TRAIN | My Edge has 90k miles. Slightly stutters and bucks while driving slow. Ford service did a transmission update but it did not fix the problem. They said I need a new torque converter. I was just reading other owners saying they also need new converters. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2024 | POWER TRAIN | Vehicle started shuddering at acceleration between 15-40 mph. Ford dealer diagnosed the torque converter needs replaced. No warning lights. Struggling to accelerate is dangerous on the road with traffic. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2024 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,ENGINE | The contact's friend owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would shut off without warning. Upon restart of the vehicle, the temperature gauge indicated that the engine was hot(H). Upon inspection, it was discovered that the coolant reservoir was almost empty. The contact stated that coolant was frequently added to the coolant reservoir due to the recurring failure. Upon further inspection, the contact discovered that coolant was leaking into an engine cylinder, causing heavy white smoke to come from the exhaust pipe. A dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was instructed to take the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The contact was then referred to the manufacturer who referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The dealer and manufacturer stated there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired.

| May 2024 | ENGINE | My car seemed like it was losing power as I was driving many times - I had concerns and took it in and they mentioned I either needed an entire transmission or the torque converter part needed to be replaced. There are MANY of the Ford Edges ranging in years close to mine that have this recall; however mine is not included. When I spoke with Ford they mentioned they wouldn't pay for it, but I fear it's a safety concern for myself and many others from my research in this predicament. This is thousands of dollars that I am not able to afford and it seems like a 5 year old car shouldn't need a new transmission. It definitely feels unsafe and unjust. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2024 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | Torque converter slip requiring a new transmission confirmed by an independent service center and third party warranty company. There were no warning lights.

| Apr 2024 | POWER TRAIN | The car will shuttle between 1700-2500 RPMs while in low gears. In reviewing online (NHTSA) it should be a software update. I went to get the update for $400. After the update was applied the service center stated the software update did nothing. From the service center: The issue is internal. With the updates it did not chance the outcome, the transmission would need to be replaced to fix the concern. The quoted me the replacement transmission and cooler at just shy of $10k. This car is barely worth that in good working condition. The car drives, it just shutters, I would not drive it more than 10 miles. There are no warning lights. The ECG was recently replaced $1500 and the Ford facility did nothing to fix the transmission. I have called three facilities in my area, and ALL OF THEM say there is a 3-4 week timeline just to assess the problem. I had to take it to a transmission specialist to assess. Ford is avoiding this problem. How many 2019 Ford Edge owners need to report this issue so that something can be done? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2024 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Detailed account: After my morning commute, the car started sounding like it was idleing hard with a strange smell. It didn't smell like buring oil or plastic/rubber. Midday, I went to a store 1/2 mile from my work. There was little noticable sound upon starting. I pulled into the parking lot, when I shifted into reverse to park, the car shut off. There were no warning lights on the dash. I shifted to park, then turned the car back on and parked. There was smoke coming from one of the tail pipes that lasted several minutes after shut-off. After 30 min, I turned on the car and shifted into reverse to leave the parking spot. The car shut off and the brakes were not responsive as rolled slightly down an incline. Again no warning lights, so I returned to my workplace and finished my day. We contacted a mechanic and scheduled an appointment as soon as they could get us in. Following the workday, I began the drive to my child's school (approx 3 miles city). Within 1 mile, the check engine light came on and the car shut off when I came to a complete stop at a light. I shifted to park then turned it back on when the light turned green. It shut off again when someone entered my lane and I had to come to a complete stop. Once again turned back on, and limped it to my son's school because I had to get to my child before the end of pickup time (my husband would not have made it in time if I had pulled over where I was). I tried to avoid making a complete stop but had to proceed through two 4 way stops, when the vehicle shut off again. I made it to the school where I could safely leave it and wait for it to be towed. Malfunction: Engine shut-off, lack of powered brack due to car shutting off Safety Risk: extended stopping time in the middle of the road due to time needed to turn car back on Problem has been confirmed by mechanic shop, internet research, and a friend in Ford service department as known issue (design flaw) of corrosion due to coolant intrusion. No recall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2024 | POWER TRAIN | In June of 2023 the car was sputtering in 2-3 gear. It went in to replace the torque converter. This was replaced and 10 months later the transmission goes out. I believe that the transmission when out due to the torque converter going out. At the time of the torque converter was replaced the car was still under warranty. I believe Ford is responsible as regularly scheduled maintenance was performed per there maintenance schedule, and at their dealership. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2024 | POWER TRAIN | UNKNOWN My SUV started to shudder. I brought it to a mechanic, and he started that while preforming a transmission flush, a bunch of black gunk came out. He advised us that the transmission needed to be replaced or rebuilt. Ford needs to issue a recall on all 2019 Ford Edge’s. I’m worried it will blow up or cause an accident while I’m driving it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2024 | POWER TRAIN | At approximately 61,000 miles, car would hesitate and sputter while driving. No warning lights appeared on dashboard to indicate any issues. I took the car Ford for inspection, and was told by Ford that I needed a new torque convertor. I had the dealership complete repairs at a considerable cost. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2024 | POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I purchased this vehicle brand new. Within a year or so of purchasing we noticed some chugging with acceleration. Started out around the 20-30mph area. When we took to out local Ford dealer for routine maintenance we mentioned and they said they didn't find anything wrong. We chalked it up to our imagination. As time progressed it seemed to get worse. We mentioned it a couple more times and they said they didn't hear of an issue or find anything with the inspections. Come to October of 2023 when we were feeling it even at speeds on the interstate, we again took it it. The service man then told us that this is happening with multiple vehicles. They thought they had a fix, but within 2 weeks it returned on other people. He said hold on. We are in contact with Ford to see what to do. He will let me know. Then in March 2024, I became so frustrated I called them again asking if they heard anything from Ford. He said bring it in. I asked if that was something they were taking care of or I was responsible for. He responded, let's just get it in and see. I got a call the back after his 'inspection' to tell me the 'fix' didn't work but it was only $70 and we needed a new transmission that was $4500. I was so flustered at that point, I had him call my husband. (I was literally on my way to hospital with an emergency). This has been ongoing for years and I have been pushed off and now that it's not under warranty I am responsible for something that they don't even know is wrong. I have been recommended to read Ford blogs regarding this and this is a know problem with vehicle and a know tactic with dealerships to avoid responsibility. Frustrated!!!! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
