2019 Ford Edge: lane keeping assist jerks the wheel

Filed Feb 14, 2026 · Driver assistance, Transmission · IL

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.

This incident is related to the rear view camera and the sync/radio interface in my vehicle. The recent recall for ford explorers in relation to the rear cameras are also present in the ford edge. In addition to these issues, when I am driving my rear view camera will turn on while driving. This has occurred on the freeway and has impacted how my car reacts to collision assists, lane keeping/departure functions. I have taken my car to ford and they have neglected the issue and said there is nothing they can do. I have left voicemails to get my car looked at again and reported to ford but seeing the recall headlines today about ford suvs I wanted to report that this is also happening yo ford edges and has caused issues for me. I believe this to be a glitch in the sync software. This has been an ongoing issue but has most recently occurred to me yesterday. I have video of this behavior as well but included a photo - you can see the car is in drive and the rear view camera is active.

When both adaptive cruise control activated and lane keep assist activated, the edge st bounces in between the lines on the road, instead keeping the car center in the lane. Lane keep assist censors and software need re-calibration.

When traveling on freeway, lane centering should steer away fro left lane. It doesn't correct until you get onto rumble strip on freeway
