My car is having an extremely hard time accelerating and when it does its shifting rough, shuttering and lagging. I cant tell if the transmission is slipping or if its coil packs and spark plugs but its struggling. It throws no codes which keeps everyones hands tied because we dont even know which direction to go with it. My warranty covers power train but with no codes being thrown, no one is honoring the warranty.

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.

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.

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!!

My **2019 Ford Edge** experienced a **transmission / powertrain failure at under 60,000 miles**. Before the failure, the vehicle began **shuddering during acceleration, slipping between gears, shifting harshly, and bucking / jerking at low speeds**, especially in stop-and-go traffic and when accelerating from a stop. The transmission would often **hesitate before engaging a gear and then suddenly lurch forward**, creating a serious safety risk. This unpredictable behavior put me and others at risk when entering intersections, making turns, merging into traffic, and driving in parking lots or residential areas, where sudden bucking or delayed engagement could cause a collision or loss of control. The issue was **reproduced and confirmed by the dealer**, which determined the transmission needed to be **rebuilt under warranty despite the vehicle having fewer than 60,000 miles**. The vehicle was inspected by the servicing dealer, and repair records are available. However, **despite the warranty rebuild, the same problems continue to persist**, including shuddering, slipping gears, and bucking at low speed. This indicates the underlying defect was not properly corrected and raises concern that the transmission will fail again. There were clear symptoms prior to the repair, including rough shifting, hesitation, slipping, and shuddering, and those same symptoms have returned after the rebuild. I am submitting this complaint because a transmission requiring major repair at such low mileage, combined with continued safety-related drivability issues after warranty service, presents an ongoing safety concern.

My car hesitates to shift, gear slips, shudders, and loss acceleration. I almost got into accident while merging on the highway because I lost acceleration due to gear slips. This car is dangerous.

I had to have the torque converter replaced about 3 months ago and now the transmission is slipping and not shifting into gear.

The transmission has consistently been stuttering and slipping. It’s most notable at low speeds accelerating from 0 to 30, 40mph. Around 2-3k rpms it stutters every day. This have been going on since about 90,000 miles.

2019 Ford Edge 67K miles. A few months ago experienced 'hesitation" & some jerking once accelerated. It would continue until around 40 mph. Took to dealer, determined initially it was the Purge Valve. This was repaired; however, rec'd a call that torque converter locking & slipping. The fluid has metal parts. They said there was damage to the transmission. They didn't recommend repairing because the same issue will happen. A new transmission in process of being done. Been in service dept. since 8/11/25. Not finished with repairs yet. Found out via search that this issue is common with this year of vehicle & mileage & owners suggest filing a complaint. The warranty has expired & cost of repair is very expensive. Search also seems to have other model years having the same issue.
