|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 2023 | POWER TRAIN | While driving under 35 mph car shudders, goes up and down to 300 rpms. Car has 45,650 miles, it started around a year ago but not as noticeable but now has increasingly gotten worse. Car is scheduled to go in monday, june 12. After speaking with other owners of same model, they had same issue and claim ford does a reprogramming of the transmission but it doesn't seem to work that they returned to end up having transmission being replaced. I will follow up with documentation after my service. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | POWER TRAIN | I took my car in to have it serviced after I noticed it shuddering when accelerating. Mostly at a lower speed, 1st-3rd gear. I am now being told that I have to have the torque converter replaced which is going to cost me around $4700. This is from the Ford dealership by the way. My vehicle is right at 70k miles so something like this should not be broken already. After doing some research it appears that a lot of other 2019 Ford Edges are having the same issues due to bad transmission fluid at the time of production. I think that there should be a recall done so that people can get the transmission flushed and filled with new fluid, or get help paying for the converter to be replaced. And of course, my power train warranty ran out on it on 5/19/23. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | The sunroof on my vehicle exploded spontaneously today. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | SUSPENSION | The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the vehicle was driving uncontrollably and was driving from side to side without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the vehicle was aligned, but the failure continued. The vehicle was taken to another dealer and the contact was informed that the shocks needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 37,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 37,000 |
| May 2023 | POWER TRAIN | Edge was running fine first trip of the day. Second trip, it lurched several times when placing it in drive. Drove to a gas station, filled tank, car barely got out of the parking lot and on to a busy street before transmission failed. Took it to a repair shop who states it needs a new transmission. 2019 Edge with under 90,000. Bought used 3 months ago. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | POWER TRAIN | My 2019 Ford Edge feels like the automatic transmission is slipping upon acceleration from a stop. This happens thru 1st/2nd gear. Sometimes there is a bumping noise underneath. The gas mileage has decreased significantly. I have to be careful when pulling out into traffic as the stalling could cause an accident. I did research online and found a recall (NHTSA Recall ID: 18V390000, 17V42700) which includes 2017-2018 Ford Edges. The recall is for failed torque converter connections. My edge was built 9/2018. I have called the dealership to take the Edge in for service and the serviceman ironically, over the phone, immediately diagnosed the problem as the torque converter. A transmission should last 150,000 to 200,000 miles. I feel my Edge should have fallen into the above mentioned recall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | ENGINE | I had no warning my car just stalled and there was no coolant and white smoke coming from tailpipes. 2.0L EcoBoost coolant intrusion can lead to corrosion, misfires, overheating, fouled spark plugs, engine fires, and complete engine failure. It has been such a problem in early model 2.0L EcoBoosts that Ford issued a technical service bulletin. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Feb 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The start/stop technology works from time to time. Example. At a complete stop icon appears and show’s technology off- the device is NOT off. At times the technology will engage at a complete stop then suddenly turns off with in seconds. At times when this device is on one can hear a rattling noise. When leaving from a complete stop and applying the gas petal lightly the vehicle jumps/hop roughly 6” to 1’ without adding additional pressure to the gas petal. When using the advanced cruise control with NO vehicle in front of mine and have set the mileage which can been seen on the control panel the vehicle will keep the mileage speed for 3-6 seconds then decrease in speed up to 10-12 miles. If applying the brake when using cruise control and re-engage the speed (res button) the vehicle speeds up continuously at a very fast unsafe pace. The advance lane shift will warn me (turn red based on which lane it thinks I have crossed) I have steered out of my lane (low setting) but haven’t cross any lanes. Will use turn signals to change lane and lane shift turns red again to inform me I have steered out of my lane. This should not happen. Back up camera at times screen is black. Rear sensors when backing up even with large objects (persons- adult, another vehicle, garbage truck) will not notify me of objects. Now I can see the objects and don’t proceed but the sensors don’t go off and there are four. Brought vehicle to Akins ford in ga. Went for observation ride. The foreman noticed many issues including cruise control, after braking- suv leaping, sensors, backup camera. but felt there were no safety issues. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,LANE DEPARTURE,BACK OVER PREVENTION | This incident is related to the rear view camera and the sync/radio interface in my vehicle. The recent recall for ford explorers in relation to the rear cameras are also present in the ford edge. In addition to these issues, when I am driving my rear view camera will turn on while driving. This has occurred on the freeway and has impacted how my car reacts to collision assists, lane keeping/departure functions. I have taken my car to ford and they have neglected the issue and said there is nothing they can do. I have left voicemails to get my car looked at again and reported to ford but seeing the recall headlines today about ford suvs I wanted to report that this is also happening yo ford edges and has caused issues for me. I believe this to be a glitch in the sync software. This has been an ongoing issue but has most recently occurred to me yesterday. I have video of this behavior as well but included a photo - you can see the car is in drive and the rear view camera is active. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Dec 2022 | ENGINE | The coolant of the vehicle is getting low after being filled each time. Upon research the 2019 Ford Edge models and Ford’s 2.0L EcoBoost engines are having the same problem.
