2022 Ford Edge: harsh or hard shifting

Filed Nov 9, 2026 · Engine, Transmission · IL

I was going about 80 on the interstate and it just started to lurch and hard shift until I took the next exit. Got up to a stoplight went to go. The engine kept revving, but the car would not move. Had trouble shifting did another hard shift finally got it to drive and got home even though it was grinding and retching the whole time which would’ve been about another 2 miles and then I went to back into my parking spot at home and the car would not move. It would not go forward. It would not go backwards. I couldn’t put it in neutral and push it. It just would not shift gears no matter what I did I’ve had my insurance tow it to the Ford dealership. They called me back a couple days later saying that there was catastrophic failure in the transmission the driver solenoid or the drive, solenoid, neutral, solenoid, and reverse solenoid. We’re all gone and there’s a bunch of metal in spots where there should be fluid and quoted me 13 grand for a transmission.

My 2022 Ford Edge Titanium (equipped with the 8F35 transmission) is exhibiting severe shuddering, jerking, harsh shifting, lurching, and hesitation. I just received the $8,500 cost estimate to rebuild the transmission on my car that is only 3 years old due to the torque converter failure. These faulty Ford Motor Co transmissions are on back-order due to so many failures across the country. This high out-of-pocket repair cost count is HALF of the money I still currently owe on this vehicle. It is available for inspection if someone comes to inspect it within the next couple of weeks because I have no choice but to have it repaired. I am a nurse who has a job to get to on a daily basis. It causes severe shuddering, harsh shifting, and sudden loss of power when I am traveling and trying to accelerate in traffic or cross dangerous intersections. It has been thoroughly inspected by a certified transmission mechanic who is very well versed on this same particular issue with all of these particular Ford Edge transmissions that enter his shop on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. Their were no warning lamps, messages, and no other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The issues first starting appearing around a year after purchasing the car, so probably around XXX. I purchased the car from a Ford dealership in [XXX] on XXX. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving to work, was approx 15 miles into trip when the wrench sign came on the dash, within the next 5 to 10 miles the vehicle starting shifting weird, by the next 5 miles as I pulled to stop light the vehicle had hard shifting down and would be hesitant to move when pushing on gas and within the next few miles continued to get worse and started smelling a burnt smell. Pulled into hospital parking lot and had a pwertrain failure on the ford app. Edge Titium 2022 with approx 91000 miles, mostly highway miles, towed to dealership, extended warranty only will cover certain amount of transmission which now leaves me either getting a used with only a 6 month guarantee or paying for a new one. Prior to this there had been no shifting or other indicators that the transmission had any problems.

The powertrain control systems transmission shift solenoids is not responding as expected or is stuck in the on position. Some transmission gears may not being available resulting in delayed or harsh shifts into another gear. The vehicle has a shutter that didn’t throw any codes. The vehicle was inspected at a Ford dealer and was told they see nothing wrong and no codes. Withing 30 miles the car was jerking badly and slipping gears. This caused uncontrollable harsh jerking and instant limp mode with no acceleration while driving on a highway. Drive it back to dealer service. Then I got a warning about the power train transmission. Upon further inspection was told the transmission needs completely replaced. There was absolutely no warning before the transmission completely failed. No way to tell it was failing. Ford refuses to handle the issue other than charging me for a new transmission. There are bulletins with similar problems to this year ford edge from the same factory but a few months different time span so no coverage is offered.

1st noticed problem- turning sharply to the right heard clunking coming from under car. Put car into reverse and felt like brake was on. But wasn't. Clunking stop when put back into forward and parked car. One hour later, drove a mile and a half home. No clunking until I backed into driveway. Clunking stopped after going in reverse about 10-15 feet. Drove to Dealer next morning. Couldn't get clunking to happen at quicklane. A few days later went to lunch and was backing into parking spot and clunking returned. After lunch drove to Dealer. They witnessed the clunking. Put car on hoist and checked obvious spots nothing found. Provided loaner and after determining differential was the problem. (almost $5000.00). Problem repaired next day. Had car about 2 weeks and clunking appeared when we were 3 hours away from Dealer. Called and made it to the dealer before closing. Clunking was noticed and this time at the dealer the transfer case was the issue. (Another $5000.00). They said this was the cause of the differential problems. After waiting for a week for ford to release a new transfer case, the car was again repaired. The mileage range of 400 to 1000 was given for the parts to get back in sync and stop making the clunking. We have now have about 600 miles after the last repair and an occasional clunking is still appearing. One more note. We will be traveling to Michigan from Florida in 2 weeks. (1771 miles). Is this car a lemon? Issues started after 60,000 checkup was done.
