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.

-took my vehicle into the dealership after it left my wife and kids stranded in the middle of the highway. Codes came up as a transmission problem. Took it to the dealership and they said it needs a whole new transmission. Car only has 115k miles. Transmission fluid has been replaced 2 times. Dealer has confirmed and diagnosed the issues.

Torque converter began to fail around 50k miles. Took to Ford for service under TSB last July at around 60k miles, but performance has steadily deteriorated to present, around 80k miles, while waiting for service parts. Issue has expanded to cause violent engine surging, which I worry will increase the risk of a crash. Ford quoted $11k to replace the torque converter, a part they acknowledge is faulty.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure caused by coolant intrusion into the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,330.

The engine blew due to coolant getting into the engine. This happened in 2025 and I had to have the engine replaced and pay completely out of pocket for it. I see that there is an investigation into 2015-2018 Ford Edge motors. Mine is a 2019 but has the same engine and had the same issue.

Accelerated from a stop sign and engine cut out, leaving me stopped dead in the middle of the street, the engine would not restart after 4 tries, I let it sit, I googled the incident, and was told to let car sit for a minute and try to restart. I let it sit for a minute and it restarted like nothing happened. Google said there was a sensor fault because of an error temperature reading in the crank position sensor, so the car shut down to protect the engine. I think this could have been a dangerous situation, if there had been traffic. the temperature gauge read normal.

Engine coolant leak inside the cylinder Local mechanic inspected and confirmed engine head gasket blown off. Car driven only 66k miles.

My vehicle experienced a serious engine failure after exhibiting symptoms that included loss of coolant, sputtering/rough running, a check-engine light, loss of power, and the vehicle shutting down. I have since been advised that the engine has failed and requires significant repair or replacement.

The engine failed in 2024, leaving me stalled on the side of a major highway. More recently, in August 2026, my vehicle began experiencing problems shifting into reverse. A warning message stating, “Selected Gear will engage at low speed,” would appear. I contacted my local Ford dealership, and they stated that the transmission fluid was in poor condition, although they were unable to reproduce the specific shifting issue I was experiencing at that time. On September 3, 2026, while driving to work, my vehicle began losing transmission pressure and was unable to accelerate while I was traveling on the main highway. I contacted my local Ford dealership again, and I was informed that the transmission pump was failing. The vehicle and transmission components are available for inspection upon request. My safety, my child's safety, and the safety of other drivers on the highway were put at risk. While traveling on a major highway, my vehicle suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. A complete loss of power or the vehicle stalling in traffic could have resulted in a serious accident, particularly with vehicles traveling behind me at highway speeds. Yes. My local Ford dealership has confirmed that the transmission pump is failing. The vehicle has been inspected/diagnosed by my local Ford dealership. It has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. Yes. The vehicle has experienced ongoing issues for approximately the past two years. I have repeatedly attempted to have

My 2019-2021 Ford Edge, equipped with the 8F35 8-speed automatic transmission, is experiencing severe transmission shuddering, harsh shifting, and jerking symptoms consistent with premature torque converter and internal mechanical failure. I had to pay $800 out-of-pocket for dealership diagnostics and a transmission fluid flush to address these severe driveability issues. Despite the flush, the vehicle continues to shift poorly, presenting an unpredictable driving hazard during acceleration and highway merging. Ford corporate has acknowledged the systemic nature of this transmission defect by negotiating a potential 100,000-mile extended warranty with me. However, a software update or a fluid flush does not remedy the underlying hardware failure of the torque converter. I am filing this complaint to urge the NHTSA to open a formal safety investigation into the 8F35 transmission defect, as it poses a sudden loss of acceleration risk on public roadways.

Took into a Ford dealership for running sluggish at low speed. Sensor and torque converter were bad.

My vehicle is experiencing transmission shuddering, and after taking it to an authorized Ford dealership for diagnosis. I was told that there is a problem involving the torque converter. I was initially quoted approximately $7,000 for the torque-converter repair and was subsequently advised that the dealership would recommend replacing the entire transmission at an estimated cost of approximately $11,200. There has been a recall, but my vehicle doesn't qualify. I initially reported a problem in May 2022 and they couldn't find anything wrong at that time. There are currently two Technical Service Bulletins that affect my vehicle. They are Ford TSB 21-2389 – 8F35 Transmission Shudder/Buck/Jerk and Ford TSB 26-2341 – Torque Converter Shudder (issued July 22, 2026). My vehicle has approximately 79,000 miles on it, this shouldn't happen with a car with this low of miles and this many issues with recalls and TSBs. I have been met with continual road blocks from Ford.

The car shudders and jerks when in certain gears and mph. The transmission is failing I was told by the Ford Dealer, Steven’s Ford and that the transmission should be rebuilt and torque converters need to be repaired. The car has 37,000 miles only. I have an invoice from Steven’s Ford for a diagnostic check up on the car but not repairs.

Every single time I accelerate between 20-40 miles per hour, the transmission shudders.
