2020 FORD EDGE Complaints

Forward collision warning stopped working which in turn caused the cruise control to not work. Then the PSCM (power steering control module) just went out all at once. Was driving and it showed warning on the dash. I drove on and parked. When I went to start back, it started fine but couldn’t move steering wheel. I’m seeing this has been a problem with other owners and the same year model. Ford has done a recall on edge for years around 2020 but not that particular year. Gonna cost $2772.59 to fix at dealership. Always owned ford but very disappointed how this happened with very little warning at all. If it had locked up while I was driving it would have been a major accident.

2020 Ford Edge is Surging/Bucking/Jerking when you first take off at low speeds of 20mph or less. This ongoing issue could cause an accident to happen by the vehicle not getting to proper speeds as it should. Took my 2020 Ford Edge to my local Ford Dealer and they Updated the Software to the Transmission per TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 8F35 Transmission. At first it seemed better, but the Surging/Bucking/Jerking quickly came back. Took my Edge back to the Ford Dealership once again but they didn't do anything literally scratching their heads wondering themselves what's up with these Edges transmission.

Transmission assembly lost ability to operate in reverse. This happened while attempting to reverse in a public area. I had enough turn radius to get around an obstruction and drive home. While driving home, the vehicle shuttered under acceleration. There were intermittent delays in acceleration also. The vehicle would not reverse out of driveway the next day. Reverse camera engaged, but no movement. The vehicle the illuminated a message of “SHIFT SYS FAULT. Service Required”. I had the vehicle towed to a repair facility for inspection. The Master ASE certified technician found that the fluid smelled burned, but there was not excessive metal shavings in fluid. He determined that the transmission had an internal failure and recommended replacement of transmission. This transmission has 123,000 miles on it. Transmission fluid was manually drained and filled at 119,500 with the manufacturer’s recommended “MOTORCRAFT MERCON ULV AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID #XT12QULV”.

The torque converter is slipping mostly during speed up in lower gears as a shuddering experience. Not safe to pass during these hick-ups due to the hesitations. I had it in at Apple Ford in White Bear Lake, MN. where they found it in the diagnostic performance. No warning lamps. It first started at around 67 or 68K miles. 70k miles on it now.

Ford created a terrible transmission and torque converter that has given countless people issuses including me. Unreliable Ford quality has created another vehicle that is not safe to drive without fear of losing power while driving. This vehicle feels like the transmission is going to break at any given time with 32000 miles.
