Transmission shifting is rough and jerky. Started at 65k miles, just out of warranty. Regular service has been performed every 30k miles. Numerous people have reported the same issue with no solution or fix from Ford.
My car Continuously jerks while driving. It's like stuttering, I am afraid it will not pick up speed one day while driving and making turns. This is a scary and safety issue as I do not want to be in a position of making a turn and getting hit. I know that I am not the only one complaining about this issue. Please look into all complaints and rectify this problem. Thank you. Sincerely [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Transmission would often shutter and slip when first driving. Between 30-45 mph is when it was most noticeable, and later would do it at higher speeds. Caused very apparent hesitation when accelerating. Took it to the dealership, was told it was the torque converter. After digging around online it seems other owners are having issues at relatively low mileage, and often times more than once, or are told to completely replace the transmission.
Since I bought this vehicle in 2021 (used) it has been making a thud/clunk sound when turning the electronic transmission shifter from either reverse or parking to drive. I am afraid this electronic component is not working as it should and could potentially slip into other gears due to wear and tear. I have already flushed the transmission fluid thinking it could fix the issue but the dealership never reported it to be an issue. It obviously is but none of the Ford service departments from both Florida and Virginia have identified any issues. There are multiple Ford Edge owners that have been reporting this issue but it seems that Ford is trying to hide this as nothing has been done to fix it, nor a recall has been issued for my vehicle.
Transmission failed at 60k miles. Problem persisted. Now looking at service report issued in 2020. Engine stutters and stammers in cold start low gear. Losing coolant as well. Sparks changed throttle body cleaned. Problem still noticeable Car currently in repair shop along with all documents of work done
Car shuts down after fueling, shudders while driving. Read forum https://www.fordforums.com/threads/2019-ford-edge-sel-trans-issues.315266/ Ford needs to own up to issues since ppl are being jeopardized while driving. I am retired, help my elderly parents and young grand children. I can't afford these "fixes" or new vehcile. Need help. 1st time I realized the problem I was pulling out of gas station and stalled in traffic
2019 ford edge sel, while accelerating the vehicle jerks, causing vehicle to slowly accelerate. According to multiple ford dealerships, multiple transmission shops, and ford motor company themselves, there was a manufacturing problem with the welds on the torque converter, which caused the torque converter to come apart and emit metal shavings into the fluid which ended up in the transmission causing it to jerk and hesitate. This I was told was only a problem with the 2019-2021 ford edge sel.
My 2019 Ford Edge is at 90,000 miles. The RPMs between 2-3 have been stuttering any time I try to accelerate up to 40 mph and the car has been jumping as if trying to reach the next RPM. I took it to a Ford Dealership and they stated that it was an internal failure in my transmission (cause unknown) and that the transmission would need to be replaced for $10K.
The transmission is faulty. Shudders at low speed. $4500 to fix at the dealer. Less than 100k miles on it. We have never had a car with transmission problems and looking at message boards we are not alone. The service advisor at the dealership also told us they have a lot of transmission repairs in line to do. Seems like this vehicle should have been recalled.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving and while the vehicle was idling, the vehicle was shaking abnormally. The contact stated that on two occasions while driving at slow speeds, there was a burning odor inside the cabin of the vehicle, and an "Engine Overheating - Turn Off Engine" message was displayed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road, turned off, and restarted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the thermostat and the EGR cooler needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 39,800.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine light illuminated, and a code reader was used to determine that the coolant level was low. The coolant level was topped off; however, the failure returned as the temperature gauge indicated that the engine was overheating. Additionally, there was a heavy white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe upon starting the vehicle. The contact called the dealer and the manufacturer and was informed that the VIN was not under recall for the failure. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. Upon investigation, the contact determined that coolant intrusion into the engine had caused damages to the engine. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.
Car only has 45,000 miles on it. It is stuttering/ hesitating. No codes and no lights on indicating a problem. Ford dealership said I need a new torque converter for 3000 dollars. I have only had car for two years and only put 6000 miles on it in that time. This part should not be broken already. Car is just over 5 years old meaning no warranty.
Upon starting vehicle has white smoke or steam out of both tailpipes, upon my inspection found radiator reservoir almost empty. Did not drive vehicle.
My vehicle is at 72,000 miles and has issues with bucking, shuttering, and jerking at lower speeds. Was told I would need a new torque converter or possibly new transmission. I have no warning lights. The jerking has become more persistent in the last 3 months.
The vehicle would not accelerate and caused my to bump into a wall. The vehicle is spluttering and the interior filled with chemical smoke caused by a coolant leak and it burning by the motor. the 1.5L vehicles are under an extended warrenty because of the EGR cooler malfunctioning. There was zero coolant in the car. The car illuminated malfunction indicator said powertrain malfunction. My car has 62000 miles on it and is no longer covered by warrenty
My transmission started to shudder with MPH under 40. I mentioned this to the Ford Dealership in Manhattan during an oil change but they said they found no transmission issues. My car just hit 61,800 miles, so the warranty is now over. The shudder started much worse in the past couple of days. I contact the dealership in regards to the Tech Service Bulletin on the NHTSA website from 3/18/2021. I mentioned how I noticed this and no one offered this option while the car was still under warranty. They said that solution will likely not fix the problem and I will need a full transmission replacement. How does Ford not know this is an incredibly common issue? There is no chance this car can maintain a speed or accelerate properly with the model years 2019-2021. This is a safety issue, not just a company taking advantage of consumers.
At 45,494 miles, the vehicle exhibited rough idle at full stop. Further identified white smoke from the exhaust and a burning smell. No warning light displayed. Had the vehicle towed to a Ford dealership for diagnostics. Diagnostics didn't identify any error codes and there are still no warning lights. The diagnosis indicates coolant intrusion from a leaking head gasket into all cylinders. The recommended resolution is an engine replacement. This vehicle is only 8 months out of the 60 month 50,000 mile power train warranty.
Relatively new car, 77,000 miles, out of warranty. temperature warning light came on. Taken to dealer. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler was leaking coolant. no puddle or evidence of a leak was apparent in parking area. EGR was replaced three weeks ago. Check engine light came on. Dealer reset warning light. light returned during a vacation trip. upon return, white smoke was noticed from exhaust. Dealer diagnosed that evidence of coolant damage was present in two cylinders. Dealer recommended that Engine be replaced. Internet research revealed many discussions about EGR Coolers leaking engine coolant into the engine intake. It was also noted that other ford makes and models in the build date timeframe have had recalls concerning coolant leaking into the engine. No current recall on Ford Edges. Ford opened a case and is investigating further with the dealer service department.
My car at 90,000 miles started jerking while driving and has stalled. The dealership said I need a new torque converter or transmission. This can fail while driving, stalling out on the road. The dealership inspected the car. No lights or warnings at all.
I, as well as MANY other ford edge owners are having to spend thousands to replace the torque converter that is KNOWN for giving up at any point after 85k miles. For the last 6 months my car has suddered hard when accelerating usually between 30 and 50 mph. No lights come on. No codes have been able to be pulled. After 6 months, I leave my house for work and my engine light immediately comes on stating the car is having powertrain issues leaning towards the torque converter. The shuddering has been an ongoing issue and no one has been able to diagnose it until now. Now I will have to pay thousands just to get this fixed.
My car has issues with bucking and other issues with the transmission slipping and clutch slipping in the torque converter

The transmission is shuttering and jerking at lower speeds when shifting. Feels unsafe when jerks into gear. It happens everyday it is driven. Took to dealer to reprogram pcm as stated in service bulletin but is as bad if not worse new. No warning lamps.
I took my 2019 Ford Edge Titanium in for an oil change and tire rotation. Ford would not do a tire rotation because of the swollen lug nuts. What? 5000 miles earlier I brought the vehicle in, and Nothing was said about swollen lug nuts at that time. I was told that I would have to purchase 20 new ones for 200.00. I could purchase the Ford brand or an aftermarket brand. There is no guarantee that the lug nuts may not have to be purchased again because of this issue. If this is a true safety issue, this is on you, Ford! Keep your customers safe and have a RECALL on lug nuts and not make me pay for your mistake!

I am having trouble with my car jerking when accelerating between 30 and 50 mph. I originally began to have trouble with my 2019 Ford Edge on 5/13/22. On this date, the car began to overheat and I ended up having to incur the expense of not only having the car towed; but also of retrieving the car as the closest Ford dealership at the time was 5 hours away from my home. In this instance, the car was repaired under warranty and a code of TSB 20-2234. Shortly after the repair, I noticed that my car's wifi was no longer working; and, when I inquired I was told that there would be a $400 diagnostic fee. Furthermore, after about 6 months I noticed that the car would begin to jerk when accelerating. There were no console warnings, just an irregularity when driving. I took it back to the dealership on 8-28-2023 for the acceleration issue. I was given a rental car while they reviewed the issue. The repair cost me $600. After about 6 months, the issue returned and persisted. Until I finally turned the car in on 5-1-2024. After 26 days, I was given an estimate of more than $4,000 for diagnostic services and repairs. I trusted Ford Motor Company so I did everything to be a good client, pay my bill and retrieve my car as quickly as possible. I turned in the rental car on 5/27/24 and was able to pay my bill but 6/7/24. And not 24 hours later, I have the same jerking issue. It occurs when the car is accelerating between 30mph and 50mph; especially when going uphill. I have followed all fac
Transmission jerks and acts as if it doesn't want to shift into place at speeds between 20-40 MPH. As per Fords protocol had the PCM reprogrammed, but that has not helped. I am being told it is the torque converter, possibly the transmission itself. Apparently this is a common and costly issue with this transmission.
We purchased a 2019 Ford Edge Titanium from Car Max. It is 5 years old with only 60k miles. While idling, the engine was bogging and running rough. In addition, a foul smell like firework smoke was coming from the vents. After bringing it to a repair pal certified mechanic, they diagnosed that coolant was leaking into cylinder 2, and we would need a new engine to rectify the issue. The 2019 Ford Edge we purchased was assemble in October 2018, as the 5 year warranty expired in October of 2023. It is experiencing the EXACT SAME problem as all earlier models that were part of the Ford recall. Consequently, we are experience emotional distress in rectifying this issue since the 2019 model year was not covered under the recall bulletin.
Transmission jerks at 15 mph to 45 mph

When the issue first started I took the car to the dealership where it was purchased brand new. They had a 2 month waiting list for the car to be looked at. Now the car is out of warranty by less then 300 miles. The dealership has had my car for over a week to look at it. After many calls and text with the service department they will begin work this week. The issue with the Car is it jerks when switching gears most of the time. Mostly noticed between 2nd & 3rd AND 3rd & 4th gears. The car isn't throwing any code and no warning lights are on and up to date on oil changes and has brand new tires. The car is very well maintained and the Ford app says it's in excellent condition. Even though it's not. Ford diagnosed I need a new torque converter. 4,714.38 later. I was reading on line this is a common problem with this make, model, and mileage and Ford hasn't done anything about the. The service department acted surprised.

Transmission failure- misdiagnosed 5x, twice diagnosed as failed torque converter. Causes safety issues on the road when driving speeds 20-40mph. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by Ford dealership. Ford Motor Co is aware of the issues which resulted in the need for an entire transmission replacement. No warning lights appeared, the drive style changed drastically with severe shuddering from 20-30mph and then increasing from 20-40mph as time went on. Ford replaced the torque converter once, and the issue came back within 13 months of a brand new torque converter.
Vehicle is a 2019 Ford Edge SEL Ecoboost. Service Engine light illuminated. Trouble code (DTC) reported is P0741 indicating the Torque Converter is stuck. Online research indicated this is a commonly reported problem described in Ford SSM 49345. This was confirmed by a local transmission specialist (AAMCO). My vehicle is low miles (42k) but 4 months out of the 5 year powertrain warranty. The problem has not yet been repaired. [XXX] Left unrepaired, the issue can cause a full transmission failure. If driving at high speeds when such a failure is detected the car can go into "limp mode" (a sudden slow down of max speed) which could be dangerous to the driver and other motorists during highway driving.

Box 6248 Dearborn, MI 48126 We've purchased several used Fords growing up and loved them and found them to be reliable like your Commercials and Mission Statements claims: Ford Motor Company's mission statement is "to help build a better world where people can move freely and pursue their dreams". The company's core values are "put people first", "do the right thing", "create tomorrow", "play to win", "be curious", "built Ford tough", and "one Ford". So we decided to purchase our very first BRAND NEW Ford Edge vehicle on [XXX] at Ford Auto Nation, not knowing we were sold a lemon. We do all necessary maintenance to all vehicles to avoid costly expenses. We started noticing some shuddering and took the vehicle to FORD but they wanted $200 for diagnosis and would not apply to repairs.

Between speeds of 20 miles per hour and 40 miles per hour , the car shudders and shakes. The Ford dealership has admitted that there is an issue with the transmission such that it will need to be replaced, and they have seen this same problem in multiple vehicles of same make, model and year. Although there has apparently been an internal Technical Service Bulletin related to this issue; the vehicle has not been recalled for this issue even though the recommended software fix from the bulletin does not work.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
