2019 Ford Edge electrical problems

Filed Jun 16, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · MT

I am wanting to share my concerns about my 2019 Ford Edge. My Edge has 64,500 miles on it and the transmission needs replacing; it is sitting in my back driveway. My daughter and I just made it home from a trip when the transmission gave out - when we pulled into the driveway, and it was still in gear, it put itself into park! We tried to put it in drive and reverse and again, as we were watching the gear dial - it put itself into park again! Before that, I had noticed some issues about jerking and revving up so I took it to the nearest Ford dealership - after hooking it up to the computer several times (while it was UNDER 60,000 miles on the odometer), the dealership told me that they changed a few things on the computer and 'it would drive like hell for a while, but it will get used to my driving and get better' !! After contacting them more, they told me that it needed a new throttle body. I wanted a second opinion so a friend trailered it to another Ford dealership and they tested the transmission liquids and told me that it needs a new transmission. (It was now over 60K.) Ford said that if I would pay them $4500, they MIGHT cover the other the $4500 for the new transmission. I had my Edge for about a year when this happened and now it has been sitting in my driveway since last summer!! I am still making the monthly payment on it, plus full coverage insurance for a pretty driveway ornament. My friend found paperwork regarding transmissions like mine having troubles (and he showed it to the local dealership - they did nothing) so I have been watching for recalls on the transmission. If you have any suggestions, etc please let me know - I do not have $4500 to fix my car...... When this all started, I contacted Ford and started a case on it. (8/26/24). Case #XXX. I was told by the dealership to start it myself and keep an eye on it; but when I called Ford regarding it - they told me that the dealership should be the ones doing this......

Computer screen does not work all the time, and the backup camera does not work, and when it does, it will stay on while moving forward. The computer screen freezes up and will not allow me to adjust the temperature or the radio and other options that are normally on the screen.

Bought a used 2019 Ford Edge, and transmission had issues within 2weeks of minimal operation!! Transmission slippage, does not go into gear or has a long pause going into gear (even right from park). VERY HARD shifts in lower gears upon upshift AND downshift. Also, gets worse the longer you drive it. It jerks, bucks, lurches, snaps your neck forward or backward, or does not go at all!! After this happens for a few minutes, it wouldn't even go into reverse!! That's just TRYING to drive it. As you might imagine, it's quite difficult to concentrate on road signs, hazards, pedestrians, and other cars whilst you're trying to drive this thing!! How could FORD possibly even think this is a safe vehicle!!

Was told by mechanic that my engine has a coolant leak and has caused engine failure. The car has been jerking whenever I accelerate. The remote start does not function from my key fob and I have been unable to pair the Ford pass app with that. The USB ports for Android Auto also don't seem to work. If I drive over a small bump on the road, it disconnects my phone from Android Auto. I then have to unplug the cable then replug back into my phone or the USB port to hopefully get it to work again.

While driving my RPM's dropped to 0 and my car stalled out. I was able to drive home by doing this a few more times. Then white smoke starting coming out of the exhaust and it smelled like fireworks. No warning lights came on and my Ford Pass app did not indicate there was a problem. I had it towed to AAA then had to have it towed to dealership. They told me I needed a complete new engine. It is a 2019 Edge Titanium with 4 cylinder 2.0L ecoboost turbo with 38997 miles! They started it was due to coolant intrusion. The 2018 Edge has a recall for this exact issue but not the 2019!! $12691.17 to replace the engine!
