2019 FORD EDGE Complaints

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle started to jerk and failed to accelerate as needed. The contact drove back to the residence; however, while attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was diagnosed, and the mechanic determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V550000 (Power Train) and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was 90,000.

My vehicle overheated as I was driving to work (hardly 5 months after the warranty expired). I pulled over as the engine was smoking. Turns out engine failure the engine was not repairable. So, I took it to my trusted mechanic who ordered the engine from Ford. Within 2 weeks of getting my Edge back, the check engine light was on, the power train light came on too and within seconds of that the engine overheated again. The engine was taking in coolant and burned up again just as the first time. This is a Ford engine issue. Completely ridiculous and unsafe. I’m 5 months pregnant and should not have to worry if my new vehicle is safe or if the engine is going to blow up again.

We were informed that the lug nuts on our wheels were swollen and distorted. They suggested getting them replaced.

When driving my vehicle at speeds between 23 and 32 the transmission chugs like it can't decide which gear to be in, so it is always shifting between gears. I've talked to the local dealer and they can't figure it out, telling me that there isn't anything wrong with it instead of checking with Ford or other dealers. This has been an on going problem since I leased it, in 2019, and then bought it Sept. 2022.

I came out to my car after work and the sunroof had exploded and was heaving upwards

I was driving the vehicle in highway traffic with a slowdown in the morning , I was driving 14mph and vehicle had about 60,005 miles. The engine started knocking hard while I was driving, prior to this the engine had no issues. The diagnosis’s that the Ford dealership gave was that engine threw and engine rod on cylinder number 6, there was no warning lights that showed. Issue has been reported to Ford and they have yet to reached out due to their engine failing just a few miles over 60k. If i was in regular speed traffic my vehicle would of stopped right on traffic lanes and could of caused an accident. Vehicle is currently in the Ford shop awaiting for repair cost.

Was driving vehicle at 45 mph but once the vehicle slowed down to under 25 mph it would start sputtering. Drove about a half a mile and engine light came on stating Engine Coolant Over Temperature. I pulled immediately over into the emergency lane and turned car off. There was thick clouds of smoke rolling out of the exhaust pipes. Even under the hood was some smoke. Once vehicle stopped smoking so badly I opened the hood. I checked the oil and smoke could be seen coming from the oil stick. Looking at the coolant reservoir, it seemed to be empty. I had just had the fluids looked at a week prior to this! Called Ford Roadside Assistance and was told it would be upto 3 hours before a tow truck could arrive. I was on a heavy traffic highway in northern virginia with a child. I called a local tow truck driver who came in about an hour. I paid 300 to have it towed to my home town 74 miles away. Then was told by Criswell Ford they could not get to my vehicle for weeks since they had 1 mechanic. Had it towed again by Ford to Marlow Ford. They claim the EGR Cooler failed per technical service bulletin but states no engine damage. I cannot believe this didn't cause engine damage with extreme Temps. Where did the coolant go to? I have 42,500 miles on engine and still owe 12k. No vehicle should be doing this. They recalled the Edge from previous years with this issue. Why don't they uphold all years that this egr cooler is failing and not just do a service bulletin. I'm afraid the engine has damage to the intake and will show its ugly self once warranty is no longer at 5/60k. Any help would be appreciated.

Was driving on freeway, in the middle lane, and card just started slowing down for no reason, pressed gas and it still was slowing down. It felt like the brakes were being applied even though I was just pressing the gas. Finally it stopped and I turned the car off and then back on and the problem went away. I think it was the adaptive cruise control and not the collision avoidance because no warnings came u on the dash. Luckily the cars behind me were able to stop without rear ending me but they sure were angry with me.

The contact's husband owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55-60 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently decelerated to 30 MPH. Additionally, the vehicle was shaking and jerking while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, no error codes were retrieved. The dealer recommended that she replace the tires and the battery. The vehicle was then taken to Champion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (4505 W 96th St, Indianapolis, IN 46268) where she was advised to take the vehicle to a Ford dealer. The vehicle was taken to Pearson Ford (10650 N Michigan Rd, Zionsville, IN 46077) where it was diagnosed with fuel injection line failure. The contact declined the fuel injection line repair and took the vehicle back to Champion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram where the technician test-drove the vehicle and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. Champion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram advised her to contact the warranty company for assistance. The warranty company referred her to a transmission specialist who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Sunday September 4th my 2019 Ford Edge with 35,995 miles, started idling rough, and white smoke started coming out of the tailpipes. I completed my drive to my sisters house and left it to set and cool down for about 5 hours. When I left to head home it lurched forward while coming to a stop sign and went dead. I started it back up and a bunch of white smoke came out of the tailpipes and it smelled awful so I barely pulled it off to the side. My brother in law came and picked us up and he said the car was way too hot to have been sitting for that long. I had my son in the back seat and this all scared him to death. Through all of this not one dashboard light came on. No engine overhearing light, no check coolant light, no check engine light - NOTHING. I had it towed to the dealership the next day. Dealership says they replaced the EGR cooler and reprogrammed the PCM. Hopefully I have no further issues.
