2019 FORD EDGE Complaints

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.

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.

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.

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. The contact was informed that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.

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.

Not only 2017 ford edge have bad torque converter but the 2019 also has same issues

The transmission when slowing down when it down shifts it Jumps so hard fells like engine is going to jump out of hood after this happens it like it is stuck in a higher gear so trans slips then hits real hard have to stop super early to avoid car from rear ending car in front of you

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that on several occasions while accelerating, the vehicle jerked back and forth continually. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pressure sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and then taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the turbo charger needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer, but the failure could not be replicated. The contact stated that on one occasion, while the vehicle was running, the contact entered the residence, and upon returning, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not able to be restarted. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,400.

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!

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.
