approx 102K miles, issues started May 2026, torque converter shudder, most noticeable at below speeds 60 mph, no dtc's present, traceable shudder event with ids/fdrs reading, sometimes perceived/felt as an engine misfire may be due to an internal issue with the torque converter. July 22, 2026 changed and refilled automatic transmission fluid and did not seem to help much.

When accelerating at low speeds the transmission bucks and/or surges so that the car stutters. This is currently happening, two mechanics have checked and see no misfiring and there is no warning light showing but there is clearly some sort of issue with the transmission. This sounds very similar to a recall made in other Ford Edges, I am able to bring it in for inspection upon request. This constant jerking motion impacts safety of myself as the driver and my passengers as it's consistently changing the field of vision when it's pulsing and it is causing motion sickness on extended drives. This has started happening every time I drive and it is unavoidable.

Design flaw in engine which causes coolant intrusion into the cylinders causing misfires, overheating, and white smoke out of the exhaust. The vehicle is unsafe to drive due to the engine overheating. The vehicle has been inspected by a licensed mechanic that confirmed all of the above. The engine temperature would overheat and there was white smoke coming out of the exhaust upon starting the vehicle.

My transmission needed to be overhauled at 65,000 miles, at a cost of $7147 at a Ford dealer. I have all documentation. Symptoms of a power train problems started much earlier than 65,000 miles, possibly around 60,000 miles in summer of 2024. The car was 'pulsing' and losing power when accelerating onto a highway, and in other situations where maneuverability was important. My regular mechanic thought it likely due was misfiring cylinders, and he changed the spark plugs. I asked about the transmission, and he said it was highly unlikely due to the low mileage. But the change in spark plugs did not help the situation. I had no engine warning lights to indicate any transmission problems. The pulsing remained. Late spring 2025, I was getting a new engine light on in the car that I did not recognize. In July, I felt the power drop out (twice) completely during moderate highway traffic traveling from Maine back to Massachusetts in July, which prevented me from keep with the flow of traffic for those instances. Prior to going to the dealer, I went to an independent shop who confirmed my suspicion of the transmission issue through a test drive and with a diagnostic code reader. The shop owner said he had seen this in Ford Escapes before, but mine was the first Edge has had seen. He speculated that since the 2019 cars were now coming of age with similar mileage, he would be seeing a lot more of these issues. He estimated that it would definitely be over $6000 to fix. I chose to have the dealer fix the transmission (higher cost out of pocket) in case of any future recalls where I could be reimbursed. Based on research on the web, this appears to be a common problem with Ford vehicles of this type, built in this timeframe with the 8 speed automatic transmission. I'm surprised there has not been a recall for these transmissions yet. It seems like a poor design that has impacted many consumers. This should be investigated.

when depressing the gas pedal from start to about 35 mph the suv bucks constantly. I get no bucking at highway speeds. Had it scanned and said a misfire on cylinder 4. I replaced all plugs and the coil pack. Still the bucking. Took it to a mechanic. They did a compression test. 166 to 170 then a BG air induction clean. Still to no avail.

My 2019 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine began experiencing a misfire, loss of power, and white smoke from the exhaust. No engine light was on when it started and the car has less tan 46K miles. I had the car towed to a certified mechanic and he confirmed that coolant is leaking into my cylinders, which matches the issue described in Ford TSB 19-2346. This appears to be a widespread manufacturing defect affecting many vehicles with this engine. The presence of coolant in the combustion chamber caused catastrophic engine failure and poses a safety risk due to sudden loss of power while driving. I have been told that to fix the issue I need to replace the whole engine. Repair costs are estimated at $10,600 for an engine replacement at a local repair shop. I would expect it to be even higher from a Ford dealer. Ford has acknowledged this defect in a TSB 19-2346, but no recall has been issued. I am submitting this complaint so the federal safety agency is aware of the defect and its safety implications. I urge the federal safety agency to investigate this issue and require Ford to take responsibility.

I took my car to the dealership because it was idling rough and then would stall out with the battery light on. In addition, it would not come out of park. Upon turning it off and back on, it would shake and run rough, before stalling out. After that, it started up and drove fine. The dealership was unable to duplicate this issue, there were no lights and no codes. The vehicle was driven without any issues by them. This is a safety issue because there is obviously something going on with this vehicle, however, the vehicle is not alerting anyone and is not having any computer codes. The vehicle stalling out in any location creates a hazard not only for those in this vehicle, but other vehicles and pedestrians.

The vehicle is a 2019 Ford Edge AWD. At 39,500 miles white smoke comes out of tailpipe, engine coolant quickly disappears, engine runs rough and check engine comes on. At this point the vehicle is undrivable and won’t respond to gas pedal inputs. Appears to be a known engine issue; however, dealer says it’s an exhaust gas recirculation pump and parts needing replacement, with approximate cost of $2000. This is a premature failure of an engine and may cause a safety concern if driving at highway speeds. Vehicle is out of 5 year warranty with 4/2019 build date.

Bought the vehicle used in July 2022 with around 80,000 miles. After 2 weeks of owning, vehicle started to shift weird and didn't seem to be driving normal. No warning or codes popped up but called dealership to see if they knew what was going on. Took it in and had them hook it up to their systems and still had no codes. Then after test driving, said that it was the torque converter. They replaced it and the vehicle seemed to drive fine until about 11 or 10 months later. The vehicle started to have similar issues but worse. Misfiring when driving in traffic, transmission seemed like it was skipping gears, was worried it was going to shut off and I was going to loose power steering when on the interstate one time. Called the dealership and was told they couldn't do anything unless I paid at this point. Took it to a small transmission shop and had them check it out. The flushed the whole transmission and said they fluid was terrible and their was metal scapes in the fluid as well. Told me it was best to get rid of it but I still owed too much money on it to do anything. Now a year later, I am back to the same issues. Transmission is causing problems, not shifting into gears properly, shifting very hard, jerking when shifting. Scared to drive it in traffic incase it breaks down or completely blows the transmission. I have found a Ford Forum with over 80 other individuals who are having the same issues and begging Ford to do something about this.

I had taken my vehicle to mitchell selig ford dealership for a problem with coolant burning white smoke out of my exhaust pipes. They did a diagnostic check and they found the egr cooler leaking into the exhaust causing engine misfire and white smoke. When I discovered the smoke I was on the highway and my car had stalled twice in the middle of traffic that could've resulted in a horrible accident. Luckily no one hit me and I was able to restart my car. I had to refill my coolant multiple times to avoid my engine catching on fire.
