Started experiencing transmission problems including harsh shifting, shuttering, lurching, hesitating, or slowing down when shifting gears at about 80,000 miles. Put myself and child in danger on the freeway. Took the vehicle into the ford dealership repair shop and they are reporting that I need a new transmission. I bought an extended warranty and their rep will be coming out to inspect this week. No warning lights came on.
I literally financed a 2019 Ford Edge with 88k miles on [XXX] from SUTTON FORD in Matteson IL. I didn’t even have the car 5 hours and the transmission started having serious shifting issues and almost caused me to get in a crack with my son in the car. Took it back to SUTTON FORD and they are telling me the transmission is bad and needs to be replaced. I think this is a problem considering how long I’ve had them vehicle and it is a safety concern that needs to be addressed.

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.
Vehicle has bad shifting and LURCHES AT STOPS Transmission. Torque converter, oil cooler all need replaced Problem has been confirmed by both a independent service center and dealership Inspected by dealership Took for inspection because of issue. Ford has informed me there is not a recall on this vehicle and warranty expired in Mar 24, Vehicle has 43, 715 miles and I am being told I have to foot the $7,876.36 repair bill. There is a Ford Technical Service Bulletin - 21-2081 but they say this does not apply to this vehicle.
My 2019 Ford Edge SEL is having transmission issues that ford knows about, as many customers have the same issue starting between 37K to 60K miles. The transmission is jerky between 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, and 3rd to 4th gear. It starts from 15mph to 40 mph. No check engine light comes on. Sometimes it doesn't want to shift into the next gear briefly and I don't drive the vehicle hard at all. Vehicle has been taken to Ford for them to say that it needs a software update and possibly a torque converter to be replaced. i have 54K miles on the vehicle and I purchased it used in August of 2022 with 41K miles on it because of the inventory shortage.
Vehicle began shuddering when accelerating from approx. 20 mph to 50 mph several months ago. It was not always consistent at first, but steadily began worsening. Firestone was unable to diagnose. We though maybe dirty fuel system, but fuel injector cleaner made no difference. Took it to Ford dealer and diagnosed as failing torque converter. Upon further research determined that Ford had issued recalls for other models and years but not ours for this part, but I found numerous reports in discussion forums online of this same part failing in our year and model. Part is currently backordered with no ETA and fortunately we have 1 month and approx. 2000 mi remaining of powertrain warranty so it will be covered. However, Ford cannot provide ETA on the part and I have concerns of manufacturing quality for the replacement part we are awaiting as well as concerns for other drivers with the same vehicle. I called Ford customer service and they advised to submit a report to the federal safety agency and the only way for me to formally submit a complaint directly to Ford is by snail mail to a PO Box. So, I'm submitting this report in hopes an investigation will be opened about this issue and pressure will be applied to Ford to boost inventory of this critical part and begin a recall process.
Vehicle began shuddering and losing power while driving. Issues are related to automatic transmission gear shifts. Gears seem to be slipping or not shifting correctly. Tachometer is revving without acceleration at times. Check engine and ford app errors indicate powertrain issue. When slowing down, car randomly acted as if the brake had been pushed hard. If I had not been on a road without other vehicles, a crash would have been likely. Car has been taken to local dealer, who had not yet diagnosed, but has already indicated this is a common issue with 2019 edges and will likely be an expensive fix.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. No warning light was illuminated. The contact researched and was made aware of Technical Service Bulletin Number: 21-2389. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.
I purchased a 2019 Ford Edge (ecoboost) with 49,000 miles. At approximately 55,000 miles the transmission began shifting erratically, cause the vehicle to lurch and then arbitrarily stop. I had the transmission fluid drained and replaced and the transmission performance appeared to improve for approximately 6,000 miles. The erratic shifting, lurching and stopping returned. This behavior placed myself and my passengers at extreme risk as the arbitrary changes in speed (and stopping) would occur without notice, while driving in traffic. I brought the car to my mechanic (who is a recently retired Ford service manager). He was able to confirm the problem and directed me to a transmission mechanic with expertise in Ford transmissions. He inspected the transmission and confirmed several defective components in the transmission. He further indicated that after-market upgraded parts have been produced as a result of the prevalence of this issue. The mechanic indicated that the transmission must be rebuilt. No warning lamps were present until the vehicle went into a constant state of erratic shifting, lurching and stopping.
Not only 2017 ford edge have bad torque converter but the 2019 also has same issues
The transmission when slowing down when it down shifts it Jumps so hard fells like engine is going to jump out of hood after this happens it like it is stuck in a higher gear so trans slips then hits real hard have to stop super early to avoid car from rear ending car in front of you
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.
Transmission is "bucking and jerking" at low speeds and between 2nd and third gear.... its worse when travelling under 35mph
Failing torque converter and valve body at approx. 91,000 miles and just under 5 years old. When accelerating (at any speed), the vehicle chugs and struggles to speed up. No warning lights or check engine lights came on. Ford initially diagnosed the problem and wanted to replace JUST the torque converter and valve body. Upon bringing it to dedicated transmission shop it was confirmed the torque converter and valve body are failing. It is not yet confirmed if there is any other work needed as they are checking if Ford will even sell them parts to fix the issue. I was told this has become a known and common occurrence with this specific model of transmission, and there is not even a full remedy of the issue with repair, as they won't replace any other parts in the transmission when the torque converter and valve body are replaced - leading to repeat repairs of the same transmission.
Transmission is acting up. Erratic shifts. Car stumbles as accelerating. Seems to be a lot of complaints about this. Only fix is a new transmission for a considerable amount of money.

The car jerks forward. When gas is initially applied nothing happens then jerks. The car is dangerous when turning while traffic is traveling towards you. It doesn't engage immediately and I'm afraid of going right in front of car. No date specific. It happens at 0 to 40mph

The ford dealer states the problem is in the slip clutch converter. As I begin driving the vehicle it slips, perks, tac goes up and down, engages and is engages up and down constantly. It never throws a code on this and it is a danger for fear of it quitting in the middle of the hwy. The jerking, slipping, kicking out of and into gear constantly. With no code being thrown on it. It shows no recalls on our car but others it dies. Ford wants us to pay 3,400.00 dollars to fix it when it is a manufacturers problem. We don't have that kind of money. As I read the 296 complaints on the ford edge they are about the same problem and this issue needs to be addressed and paid for by ford. It affects the gas mileage also. It is available for jnspection.All maintenance has been done on vehicle when needed. It affects me, my passengers and other people around me because it can cause pile up and hurt lot of people. The problem has been reproduced at ford. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure and it first started about 8 months ago. Was reported to Ford for the problem and nothing was done about it. It was brought into the Ford Dealership and they confirmed it was the clutch slip converter is what it was. Never heard of such. It is getting worse and worse With the slipping and perking and things. What do we do. Ford needs to stand behind their product as I have been a Ford man all my life and now this. I am thinking long and hard about going to chevy.

I have a 2019 Ford Edge with about 68,000 miles on it that is having transmission issues. The dealer has said it needs a new torque converter. However, they cannot guarantee it will be covered by the warranty. I am [XXX], and cannot afford this if I end up having to pay for it!! After researching 2019 Ford Edge issues online, I see that there are MANY with the same issue, and that having it repaired does not fix the problem - it will happen again! If the transmission fails while I am driving it will be a huge safety risk for me and drivers around me. It is not shifting correctly, and causing me to not be able to speed up when necessary which puts me and others at risk. There are no warning or engine lights on at this time. This is a known problem and Ford should fix it!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving in a low gear, the vehicle was hesitating and driving rough. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who discovered that the transmission fluid was black and was burnt. The transmission fluid was flushed and refilled; however, the failure persisted. The transmission was later replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 86,091.
The transmission failed - completely out of the blue, unexpectedly without warning.The vehicle has been maintained, oil changes on schedule, all recommended service work up to date. No issues whatsoever prior to this incident. While driving on interstate highway at 75 mph (posted speed limit = 75 mph) in traffic across three lanes, vehicle began shifting gears indiscriminately while engine was revving and simultaneously the vehicle was losing power. Driver changed lanes, put on flashers, pulled over to shoulder of highway. After pulling over, the warning light came on and message said, "shift sys fault," followed by a reference to see manual. We researched the messages using smart phones and looked in manual. We determined the vehicle needed service. After 15-20 min, we restarted the vehicle and drove 23-25 miles to auto shop. We parked the vehicle at the shop. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection. The independent service technician / owner investigated for 10 days consulting specialist, ran computer software updates for purpose of diagnosis, and determined the transmission needs replaced. He recommended taking the vehicle to the dealership to confirm. We scheduled an appointment at the local dealership, paid diagnostic fee, and received confirmation recommending new transmission. There were NO warning lamps, NO messages, NO indication of problems prior to failure. They first appeared on this drive. Our safety and the safety of others was at risk due to the high speed (our rate of speed and the rate of other vehicles around us at the time). In addition, the immediate loss of power without warning, the engine revving, gear shifting, loss of control etc. We were fortunate we were able to pull over safely, and to proceed at low speed with blinkers.
See attached document for complaint
2019 Ford Edge Titatnium is experiencing shudder/buck/jerk while driving up to 35 mph as described in Technical Service Bulletin 21-2081. Dealership said it sounds like the same issue but for some reason my VIN is not part of the recall so they will not check without paying. Dealership asked me to contact Ford directly but they could not assist.I believe this is a safety risk as the shudder/jerking is intensifying and I'm afraid it could stall when driving in traffic resulting in bodily injury.No warning lamps or messages or other symptoms prior to start of issue.

Car buck and jerks, unexpected low speed and sometimes hi speed, never know what is going to happen when you hit the gas or brake. Ford wants to replace transmission. Car has 55,500 miles, this should be a known defect. Ford refuses to fix under any warranty, This is a very dangerous defect. I have seen many people complain with this same defect.
