While driving on the highway the vehicle lost all power and it completely shutdown which was very scary. There was never any warning lights on dashboard and was told it was probably due to bad gasoline. Now the cruise control is shutting off an long with hesitation. Again no warning lights. Ford dealership said it was the spark plugs and coils, wanted to charge me $800! Local mechanic ran a diagnostics confirmed it is the torque converter…alot of confusion with ford diagnostic . This is a huge safety issue when driving in traffic, is very expensive and needs to be addressed.

The transmission/torque converter completely failed after being maintained while driving on the highway without any warning. The transmission began jerking and bucking, almost sending me into the oncoming lane while driving. Coupled with the lane departure avoidance system automatically turning my wheel, the vehicle became uncontrollable. Even though i removed my foot from the gas an tried braking, the transmission would not disengage for a few seconds causing me to almost lose control of the vehicle. Then the transmission just gave out and I was unable to pull off some where safe without issue. There were no warnings on the vehicle, no lights, nothing signaled an issue until after i was able to get the car to stop at the side of the road. The vehicle had to be towed due to not being able to drive at all. It has been inspected and I have been told the transmission just completely went out, possibly due to a leak in the linkage I was not aware of, and was not caught during my last inspection/ fluid change. Multiple items failed on the vehicle including the recently recalled back up camera/sensor issue that I was never advised about by the manufacturer.

The ADAS system has caused erratic and extremely unsafe behavior on multiple occasions. This behavior includes the car slamming on the brakes at high snd low speeds on clear sections of roadway in what appears to be attempts to avoid a shadow or imaginary object in the road. The car has also swerved to avoid a shadow on a tree lined street. Most recently this automatic emergency braking occurred at 70 mph on an interstate with following traffic behind the vehicle nearly causing a high speed rear end accident. On the same trip, the lane keeping assist guided the vehicle beyond the striping toward the road edge and has attempted to have the car change planes while traversing across a crossover for an intersecting road. Regaining control of the vehicle in all of these incidents has required aggressive actions on the part of the Driver to resist/mitigate the braking or steering decisions of the car. The car was purchased with 89k miles on it 5 months ago. The vehicle has not yet been taken to dealer to report or investigate this issue which has also occurred with our 2020 Ford Explorer.

Just recently as I was driving, I got off the freeway and my vehicle started jerking really hard when changed gears. It has been doing it ever since. I tried taking it to the dealership to assess the issue and they said it would be about a week before they could even look at the possible transmission issues and that I would have to leave the vehicle with them in order to get it in line to be assessed. After looking into my particular vehicle is seems that this is a common issue with the 2019 edge.

My cars rpm's started randomly jumping which would coincide with a slight jerking feeling when the car shifted gears. First I was told it was my spark plugs and then the coil packs. When both of those were changed and the problem persisted they ran multiple diagnostic tests and came up with nothing. Then my car started to shudder when I put gas in it and then the radio screen and door locks would intermittently stop working and again they found no error codes. Then my pre-collision warning system started going off when there are no cars even remotely near. The same for my blind spot indicators. They just go off for no reason. Now after months of issues and zero error codes, they say it's the transmission failing and it will cost me $6,000 to fix. That's assuming that is actually the problem.

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.
