Known transmission issues with 8f35. Car will not safely accelerate, jerks, shudders. No check engine to indicate code. Numerous mechanics refuse to fix it because it is too high of a liability and that Ford knows about this issue but chooses to ignore it.

With no warning signs, I put my 2020 Ford Edge into Drive, but it didn't move; so, I put it into Reverse and it wouldn't move. After a minute, I was able to drive it. The next day, I was able to drive it ~1/4 mile when this sandy, gritty noise happened and the Wrench light came up on the dashboard. I pulled over, then the Check Engine Light came on, so I turned off the car. I turned it back on, and when I put it in Drive, it didn't move, so I put it in Reverse and it didn't move. I had the car towed to a Ford Dealer, who after diagnosis, told me the transmission needed to be repaired @ $8600. My car had 136,000 miles on it when this happened; I always maintained it, including a tune up, with full fluid flush, per the recommended maintenance @ 100,000 miles. I was told by the mechanic that the planetary broke up and went through the entire system, ruining it.

At 80000 miles, the car started stuttering while shifting between 2 to 4th gears. The dealer diagnosed it as a bad Torque Coverter. I had this fixed and the check engine light came on as the car started missing and slipping gears. The next correction will be a transmission replacement, as the car is slipping and missing while trying to accelerate and decelerate. This is causing lurching and lack of acceleration which can lead to be rear ended or not making a left hand turn and getting hit in my side.

The first indication of a problem began when I felt a stutter shifting gears at low speeds. No check engine light or anything came on but it happened again so I took the car to a local dealer to be checked. He said my transmission was shot and quoted $8000.00 for replacement as the 60,000 mile warranty had passed. My car has 92000 miles on it. I couldn't believe this as I have had no other issues with this car so I drove to a second repair shop. During the 20 mile drive my car began stuttering at all speeds, I was surprised I made to the shop. Still no dash indicator lights or check engine lights , nothing. Quoted $4500.00 to rebuild transmission. I can't believe there is no dip stick for the owner to check transmission fluid levels/condition for regular maintenance. Who designed this?

At 58,000 miles we started having transmission slipping issues with no check engine lights or anything. We did some research and brought it in to a dealer for the recommended software update. That didn’t fully fix the issue and they recommended a new torque converter. At just under 60,000 it should not be having these issues and it’s a major expense for a newer car. Transmission failing is a safety issue since the car could stale without warning putting the driver or others safety at risk.
