2019 Ford Edge: check engine light

Filed Sep 30, 2026 · Transmission · OK

In late August 2026, I was driving my 2019 Ford Edge SEL (2.0L EcoBoost, AWD, 8F35 8-speed automatic) at approximately 100,085 miles with my young son as a passenger. After coming to a normal stop at a stop sign, the vehicle would not engage any gear when I attempted to pull away. It rolled in neutral, with no drive power, approximately 150 feet past the stop sign before coming to a stop. The rotary shifter then automatically returned itself to Park. The wrench and check engine warning lights were illuminated. From that point on, the transmission would not engage any gear, including Neutral. Every time I tried selecting a gear, the shifter automatically returned to Park. The vehicle was completely immobilized and had to be towed home, and later towed to a Ford dealership. Since the day I purchased the vehicle, it exhibited transmission shudder at speeds below approximately 30-35 mph, a condition documented for this model year in TSB 25-2154, as well as occasional rough shifting at random times with no consistent pattern. The dealer service center the vehicle is currently with diagnosed the failure and recommended a transmission replacement, quoting $6,957.94 for parts and $3,325 for labor + taxes/fees for a total of $11,015.62. This was a sudden, complete loss of motive power while pulling away from a stop with a child in the vehicle. Had it occurred while crossing an intersection or merging, a collision could easily have resulted. The 8F35 transmission in 2019 Edge vehicles has multiple related service bulletins and recalls, including TSB 19-2213, TSB 25-2154, and Safety Recall 20S49 (start/stop accumulator issues that can progress to loss of transmission function). My VIN shows no open recalls. I am filing this complaint because a complete loss of drive at approximately 100,000 miles, occurring immediately after a stop, suggests a defect that the federal safety agency should evaluate across this transmission population.

My vehicle experienced a serious engine failure after exhibiting symptoms that included loss of coolant, sputtering/rough running, a check-engine light, loss of power, and the vehicle shutting down. I have since been advised that the engine has failed and requires significant repair or replacement.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned: Transmission - Torque Converter and associated parts. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Propulsion and control of gear shifting can come/go cause shuddering - especially between 20mph and 40mph. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Just the dealer mechanics. There is a TSB and Ford knows there are issues with this system. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No check engine or associated lights

The transmission went out on my 2019 Ford Edge. It is available for inspection upon request. My safety was put at risk because it started to break down in the middle of a busy road. I was lucky that the parking lot I needed to go to was just a little bit farther up the road. The problem was confirmed by the Kia of Abilene Dealership service center. They were the only ones to look at it due to it not being drivable. I had to tow it to them. There were no warning lamps or messages. The only “symptom” would have been that it started jerking slightly while driving a couple months prior, August 2025, to the transmission going out. The car broke down in October of 2025. There was no check engine light appearing, and the device they attached to my car did not show any codes that something was wrong.

Had the Ford dealership look at the reason for shuddering on car. Dealership determined the Torque Converter causing shuddering around 60,000 miles or before. No check engine light came on.

There has been an ongoing issue! Changed the sparks plugs, coils everything. The car will shake. It will be fine then the acceleration was slow, pressed the gas again then the check engine light will come on and blink. There has been many issues with this car. My engine is blown!

My car had issues like harsh/hard shifting, jerking, hesitation, and a "shuddering" sensation, often occurring at low speeds, I took it to the dealer several times for this issue, because the engine light keeps coming on, back in May 2025 they said they did a valve replacement that should fix the issue, yet the problem persisted, i took it back to the dealer and they said nothing wrong with it (not generating any error codes). Now again, the engine light came back, but this time while out of warranty, they are telling me it is complete transmission failure and are quoting me 12000 to replace it

Safety Complaint – 2019 Ford Edge Transmission and Engine Shutdown Issues To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint to report ongoing safety-related defects with my 2019 Ford Edge, which I purchased new. At 30,000 miles, the auto on/off stopped working and was not fixed. After approximately 50,000 miles, the vehicle began shutting off after refueling. At 68,000 miles, the transmission started shuddering during acceleration. There was no warning light, I just noticed that something was wrong. This behavior is extremely concerning, as it creates a risk of sudden loss of power while driving and could result in an accident. Ford is aware of these issues but has not issued a recall. I paid to have the torque converter replaced; however, the same transmission problem has returned. Ford has declined to provide further assistance. Additionally, the check engine light is now illuminated, which Ford attributes to a software issue. Despite multiple repair attempts and clear safety concerns, these problems remain unresolved. I respectfully request that the federal safety agency review this matter, as the defects appear to be systemic and pose a potential risk to drivers. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
