2019 FORD EDGE Complaints

The engine failed in 2024, leaving me stalled on the side of a major highway. More recently, in August 2026, my vehicle began experiencing problems shifting into reverse. A warning message stating, “Selected Gear will engage at low speed,” would appear. I contacted my local Ford dealership, and they stated that the transmission fluid was in poor condition, although they were unable to reproduce the specific shifting issue I was experiencing at that time. On September 3, 2026, while driving to work, my vehicle began losing transmission pressure and was unable to accelerate while I was traveling on the main highway. I contacted my local Ford dealership again, and I was informed that the transmission pump was failing. The vehicle and transmission components are available for inspection upon request. My safety, my child's safety, and the safety of other drivers on the highway were put at risk. While traveling on a major highway, my vehicle suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. A complete loss of power or the vehicle stalling in traffic could have resulted in a serious accident, particularly with vehicles traveling behind me at highway speeds. Yes.

My 2019-2021 Ford Edge, equipped with the 8F35 8-speed automatic transmission, is experiencing severe transmission shuddering, harsh shifting, and jerking symptoms consistent with premature torque converter and internal mechanical failure.  I had to pay $800 out-of-pocket for dealership diagnostics and a transmission fluid flush to address these severe driveability issues. Despite the flush, the vehicle continues to shift poorly, presenting an unpredictable driving hazard during acceleration and highway merging.  Ford corporate has acknowledged the systemic nature of this transmission defect by negotiating a potential 100,000-mile extended warranty with me. However, a software update or a fluid flush does not remedy the underlying hardware failure of the torque converter. I am filing this complaint to urge the NHTSA to open a formal safety investigation into the 8F35 transmission defect, as it poses a sudden loss of acceleration risk on public roadways.

It just started happening. Sweet smelling white fumes emitting from exhaust pipes and engine. Mechanic said not to drive it. It was a head gasket issue. Repair cost estimate at $10,000. I needed a car . Fix or buy?? No time to fix. Sold to car yard for $3,800. Car was pristine. Garaged, about 50,000 miles. Caused a financial hardship and I was stranded 200 miles from home.

Took into a Ford dealership for running sluggish at low speed. Sensor and torque converter were bad.

My vehicle is experiencing transmission shuddering, and after taking it to an authorized Ford dealership for diagnosis. I was told that there is a problem involving the torque converter. I was initially quoted approximately $7,000 for the torque-converter repair and was subsequently advised that the dealership would recommend replacing the entire transmission at an estimated cost of approximately $11,200. There has been a recall, but my vehicle doesn't qualify. I initially reported a problem in May 2022 and they couldn't find anything wrong at that time. There are currently two Technical Service Bulletins that affect my vehicle. They are Ford TSB 21-2389 – 8F35 Transmission Shudder/Buck/Jerk and Ford TSB 26-2341 – Torque Converter Shudder (issued July 22, 2026). My vehicle has approximately 79,000 miles on it, this shouldn't happen with a car with this low of miles and this many issues with recalls and TSBs. I have been met with continual road blocks from Ford.
