2019 Ford Edge transmission complaints
Page 3 of 17: complaints 41 to 70 of 467, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I started having transmission issues 2 years after having my car. Took it into the shop and they stated it was a powertrain and transmission slipping. Then proceeded to quote the work almost $7,000. This is the second ford vehicle I had that has had transmission problems. What if my car stalls out at a red light or the transmission fails on the road? Important factors to consider.
After I shift out of park and start driving, my vehicle shudders and jerks. The shuddering and jerking are less noticeable the faster I go and almost goes away completely once I reach 60-70mph. It's almost like when the car has bad gas but after testing this theory that was found not to be the case after changing to premium gas. I took my car to Lafayette Ford located in Fayetteville, NC. They determined that the torque converter has a shudder and also the transmission has a harsh shift from 2-3. They said that manufacturer has a suggested fix for this concern that they recommend all of the dealerships to follow. Per Ford, TSB 25-2154 covers this and will need to be performed. Prior to me experiencing these issues, there were no warning lamps or messages but about 9 months earlier there was a popping noise when I turned the wheel while trying to leave a parking lot. Popping and loud clicking and banging. After diagnostic check, they replaced the axle assembly and front axle shaft. The car was never the same after that work was done.
This is the second Ford Edge that my family has owned. We traded in our 2020 Ford Edge when its transmission torque converter failed at just over 100,000mi and the cost to repair was as much as the car was worth. The torque converter on our current Ford Edge (2019) just failed at 57,000mi and again, the cost to repair is as much as the car is worth. The failed torque converter caused immediate heavy stutter and lack of power on acceleration, as well as significant jolting of the vehicle when gears changed (both accelerating and decelerating). I have recently learned that these Edge model years are plagued with a faulty transmission that prematurely fails making driving dangerous and a repair extremely costly.
Car shudders, bucks, jerks when shifting between 20-40mph. After performing software updates, the car is still experiencing same issues and requires the transmission to be replaced.
The transmission in my 2019 Ford Edge with 82,595 miles completely broke down/stopped working, not allowing me to shift gears or engage the transmission at all.. No warning lamps or other indicators prior to this problem were present. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealer (Dean Sellers Ford, Troy, Michigan). The dealer reports the transmission has to be completely replaced as it has "suspected internal planetary damage" and the recommended repair is to "Replace the transmission and cooler" at the cost of almost $14,000.00. This is complete unacceptable for car that is 7 years old, regularly maintained at the same dealership and has less than 83,000 miles to warrant a complete transmission failure, requiring this large and costly repair which almost outweighs the value of the car and can only lead me as the consumer to believe the transmission was faulty and defective to fail at such an early life cycle. Ford has failed to offer any resolution or provide an explanation why this large expensive component in their vehicle failed without warning and prematurely.
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.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the transmission seized in park(P) and failed to shift into drive(D). The contact stated that the transmission had previously been replaced. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who determined that the transmission had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 26V402000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
Transmission slipping and was looked over by a professional. There was debris found inside that continually causes damage. Has made vehicle randomly jolt and slow to come up to speed causing danger on the road. No warning lights came up.
Transmission failure less than 100000 mile ford want 10000 to fix this is not feasible for the average American.
Full transmission failure, resulting in a full transmission replacement required. The problem has been confirmed by more than one independent service center. The check engline light came on and off for about week before the official diagnosis. From what I've found this is a common issue that many many owners have also had and suggested filling an official complaint here so that Ford is held responsible.
I had to pay for a new transmission in my 2019 Ford Edge SEL after two Ford dealerships deemed it necessary. I spent over $5,000 on a used one from the same year vehicle to only have a second transmission failure in less than 24 months. Not being able to shift gears as normal has caused me to be almost hit by other vehicles when trying to enter highways that require high speeds.
While driving under 35mph vehicle starts to chatter or shudder with a mileage of 52968. Also, while trying to accelerate the vehicle seemed to jump out gear. This could cause a possible accident from following vehicles. The vehicle is set to go to the dealership on 6/10/2026. While there are no visible warning lights illuminated, I believe this to be a safety concern for those driving the vehicle themselves and to the traffic around them.
Gears stopped engaging while driving. After diagnostic, the shop asked me to replace the transmission. The repair shop would have my old transmission after I get the car repaired. I won't have it in my possession. As I was driving on M39 on my way to work, car was making creaking whining noise when changing gears and suddenly, it stopped changing gears in the middle of a fast moving, narrow highway. I had to pull over to inspect the issue. Didn't see any warning lights at the time. Drive engaged again, which allowed me to take the car to work but once there, reverse stopped engaging completely and there was a significant delay for drive to engage. This is when the warning lights and messages came on. Brighton Ford dealership in Brighton MI has confirmed that there are metal shavings in the transmission and reverse gear no longer engages. I have been asked to replace the transmission My car only gets serviced at Brighton Ford. I was not told about any transmission issues. All the inspections that they performed during routine services did not result in any concerns. I did not notice any transmission issues in my vehicle prior to that morning. All the issues I described above happened for the first time that morning. This issue occurred without any warning or symptoms.
Transmission broke way too early.
Shortly after my warranty ended the transmission needed a full replacement and left the vehicle undriveable at 100k miles. There were no signs leading up to it , no lights coming on, nothing. Went from driving around just fine to completely stuck until fixed. Then Ford quoted me to fix it for about $10,000 dollars. It was shocking, disappointing and left me feeling helpless and betrayed due to lack of concern from anyone. Its either pay us to fix, buy a new one or get out of here. I also owed about 2 years of payments on the vehicle at the time as well.
Car was repeatedly hesitating and shuddering during normal stop/go driving. Took it to the dealer and it was diagnosed with a "torque converter" issue (estimated cost of repairs is $4100). After researching this more, this looks to be a known issue with Ford 6-speed automatic transmissions. The hesitating and shuddering is a safety issue since the car is not responding properly to the drivers actions.
I have a 2019 Ford Edge Vin: [XXX] . My torque converter is going out and my warranty company doesn't want to replace because they say it was a pre existing issue. I know there are a lot of people with this same exact problem and I know there is an investigation into the problem. I need to know if there is any way this can be added to the recall list so I don't have to pay for this out of pocket. The dealership I bought this from knew about the problem and cleared all codes before they sold me the vehicle. I bought an exteded warranty through Endurance and I waited until after the 1000 mile and 30 day wait before filing any claim and they don't want to fix it. My name is [XXX] and my contact information is [XXX] . My email is [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Torque Converter and Transmission failed just outside of the powetrain mileage limit. The compenents were replaced in January 2026 and have failed again as of May 2026. Ford is of no assistance to the customer for the failure.
Car lost power while in motion at 60mph, no warning lights or notifications on ford pass. After pulling off road car would only crank but never start. Fluids were leaking from undercarriage near transmission, but unsure what fluid it was.
The car is shuderring in low speed, feel like kicks
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!!
Repeated torque converter failure and repairs. Has been repaired ant dealership under warranty multiple times and keeps failing. 2 months after last repair the torque converter failed again causing damage to the transmission and engine stoppage on the highway.
Torque converter clutch stuck, clutch material in the transmission fluid. The vehicle hesitates upon takeoff. Once I'm up to a cruising speed, it goes away
My transmission shuddered and became inoperable. We were traveling on Interstate 25 just north of Denver, CO when this happened, and we had to get out and push the vehicle to the side and have the vehicle towed. The safety of my family were put at risk due to this issue. As of writing this, the vehicle has yet to be seen by the dealer. There were no warning lamps on the vehicle prior to this issue occurring.
while traveling the car begins lurching and jerking until it reaches 40 MPH, At that seed it resumes traveling smoothly. As soon as it slows down the lurching and jerking resume. We have taken it to a dealership, and they claim it is the transmission. The problem started approximately 2 months ago at 74,000 miles.
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!
The shifter won’t shift, and it places its self back in park on its own. My car shudders and bucks under speed of 30. No light were on until it happened and I had a certified mechanic look at it and confirm it had power train issues
Basically these cars are known to have major transmission problems that cause transmission failure, and my car is now experiencing the symptoms leading to that failure. I've seen a lot of people complaining about it, and though I guess it is my turn to get in on the complaints. Wasnt sure where else to do something like this.
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
