I own a 2019 Ford Edge Titanium with approximately 116,000 miles. My transmission recently experienced a catastrophic failure without any prior warning or indication of a problem. I have been extremely happy with this vehicle, and the engine and other major components remain in excellent condition. Unfortunately, the transmission failure has made the vehicle unusable and created a significant financial burden. I understand that Ford has issued technical service bulletins concerning internal transmission problems in certain 2019 Ford Edge vehicles, including TSB 26-2171. However, my VIN was outside of the of the earlier recalls where there was a known problem that caused loss of transmission fluid.

Per dealership at 69,000 miles, need to repair torque converter and planetary assembly or replace transmission

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.

Transmission failure, specially torque converter. It's my primary vehicle and my children and I are at risk daily due to delay in the system when accelerating and shuddering. You can't accelerate quickly because the car can't keep up. There is the chance of complete failure while driving putting others and myself at risk of an accident. Due to overheating elements an engine fire is also a valid concern. Other components have started to go bad on the vehicle after this. Problem was reproduced with a service agent at the dealer. The dealer scheduled an in depth transmission study. It found a failing torque converter. The dealer and service team have inspected it and determined it needed replaced. PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED DUE TO THE INFLUX OF THIS BEING A KNOWN ISSUE CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES FOR MANY EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLES INCLUDING MYSELF BECAUSE IT'S MY PRIMARY VEHICLE. Today is September 16, it was diagnosed and parts ordered September 8. Parts may not even be available until October 5, that's if they are no longer back ordered. That doesn't include the time it takes the dealer to get your repairs scheduled. Best case scenario it's fixed before winter. Worst case it leaves our family hurt, stranded, or with other compiling issues. No warning for this issue.

My wife was driving her 2019 Ford Edge Titanium when the transmission started to shudder and clunk. Then the car completely shutdown in the middle of a busy intersection. This transmission failure at such a low mileage (less than 70,000 miles) is unacceptable and the risk of losing control of the car poses a safety concern.

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.
