2019 Ford Edge complaints

November 2023 - Started noticing there was some unsteady shifting/jerking around 25-35 mph. Car had appx. 68k miles. Took it to 3 different places with all 3 diagnosing as the torque converter. Was told to replace immediately, as could fail at any moment and cause car to stop. July 2025 - Same symptoms. Car has 103k miles on it. Received diagnosis of, “The technician is saying the planetary gearset failure with metallic debris intermixed within the transmission fluid. Due to the age, mileage, condition, and symptoms present on the vehicle the technician is recommending replacing the transmission.” Again, losing transmission would car to come to stop, possibly in traffic lanes. So, this is two major issues with the transmission in 100k miles. Also seems to be a rather common issue with this model, as it didn’t take long to find message boards related to this, and it's now up to 4 pages: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The transmission "stutters" causing shifting and acceleration issues. I have complained since shortly after purchasing it new but the exact cause was never diagnosed and/or repaired under warranty as it should have been. Ford has been uncooperative and only has ever offered me the possibility of financial aid if I paid $2200 to have the transmission removed and examined for the defect(s). This a serious safety issue.

Problem noticed when vehicle was shaking/jolting during acceleration and shifting inconsistently. The 2019 Edge was taken to a trusted independent service center for diagnostics. They found the transmission fluid is full of metal pieces. No warning lamps/messages.

The vehicle started “bucking” during acceleration 2weeks ago. I took it to a mechanic and diagnostic tool did not show any codes for the engine. The rec was have a transmission diagnostic done so I took it to a transmission shop. The diagnostic shows a faulty torque converter which had already allowed enough debris to flow into and ruin the transmission. The rec is a new transmission at the cost of $11,000 to replace. I do know there was a TSB 25-2154 issued by Ford in May 2025 and there is a current class action suit/investigation. This is a faulty product which could potentially cause harm/accidents and it seems Ford is not adequately addressing it.

Design flaw in engine which causes coolant intrusion into the cylinders causing misfires, overheating, and white smoke out of the exhaust. The vehicle is unsafe to drive due to the engine overheating. The vehicle has been inspected by a licensed mechanic that confirmed all of the above. The engine temperature would overheat and there was white smoke coming out of the exhaust upon starting the vehicle.

All lights came on randomly ford house said it was the torque converter

The tire had complete tread separation or delamination. It almost caused me to wreck.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while changing the lug nuts on the wheels, the contact became aware that the lug nuts were swollen. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, and it was determined that the lug nuts needed to be replaced due to the outer shells being swollen. The dealer informed the contact that the lug nuts were defective due to the swelling, which caused the lug nuts to no longer fit the studs properly. The contact stated that the failure was a known issue. The lug nuts were replaced with solid steel lug nuts without caps. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

Samochodem szarpie na niższych biegach, nierówno chodzi silnik i przy zmianie biegów też szarpie.

My transmission needed to be overhauled at 65,000 miles, at a cost of $7147 at a Ford dealer. I have all documentation. Symptoms of a power train problems started much earlier than 65,000 miles, possibly around 60,000 miles in summer of 2024. The car was 'pulsing' and losing power when accelerating onto a highway, and in other situations where maneuverability was important. My regular mechanic thought it likely due was misfiring cylinders, and he changed the spark plugs. I asked about the transmission, and he said it was highly unlikely due to the low mileage. But the change in spark plugs did not help the situation. I had no engine warning lights to indicate any transmission problems. The pulsing remained. Late spring 2025, I was getting a new engine light on in the car that I did not recognize. In July, I felt the power drop out (twice) completely during moderate highway traffic traveling from Maine back to Massachusetts in July, which prevented me from keep with the flow of traffic for those instances. Prior to going to the dealer, I went to an independent shop who confirmed my suspicion of the transmission issue through a test drive and with a diagnostic code reader. The shop owner said he had seen this in Ford Escapes before, but mine was the first Edge has had seen. He speculated that since the 2019 cars were now coming of age with similar mileage, he would be seeing a lot more of these issues. He estimated that it would definitely be over $6000 to fix. I chose to have

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission struggled to shift into gear. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the torque converter was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

My car started jerking when I drive and it would stall. I went to the dealership and at first they stated that it was probably nothing. They told me I can leave it with them but it would take 2 weeks to be assessed. I was responsible for my own rental car during this "assessment period". After the assessment they determined it was the transmission and it had to be totally rebuilt and it would take another 2 week. Despite fortunately being under power train warranty, the dealership would only cover part of the rental for another 2 weeks.

Transmission is very jerky. Dealership confirms that the torque converter needs replaced.

My ford edge egr valve failed causing the engine coolant to burn in the engine cylinders and coming out the exhaust if it over headed could have caused engine failure. was repaired with the same parts that failed hope the engine does not have damage that won't be seen till later i looked it up found out there are lots of ford edges and escape doing this plus i had to pay 100 dollars deductible i think ford should recall all these cars and replace with an upgraded part that won't fail my edge only has 34000 miles on it

Vehicle hesitates while accelerating

The technical bulletin TSB 21-2389. It’s requiring me to get a new torque converter.

Has the 8f35 transmission which keeps stuttering/jerking at or about 35-45mph. Took it to a transmission specialty shop and to Ford dealership to get quoted over $10k for a new transmission. The vehicle has 67,500 miles

Our Ford Edge ST has 43,000 on it and there are times that when we if shift from Park to Reverse or Reverse to Drive, it sound and feels like the transmission dropped out of the vehicle and sounds like a bullet from a gun. Since it is out of the 3 year/36,000 warranty, Ford wants $200 to diagnose it and what it will cost to repair it. I haven’t taken to Ford, based on the fact that this as it is a known issue.

My 2019 Ford Edge begin to stutter after I reached 60k miles. When I accelerate it stutter between 15-35 MPH I called Bill Brown Ford spoke to a service advisor , she stated it’s in the transmission so I took my vehicle to a transmission shop was informed nothing wrong with trans. The car jerks during take off biggest fear it shutting down while driving. No warning signals in the dash just begin to drive differently during take off. Too many complaint for this not to be listed as a recall before someone gets hurt.

2019 Ford Edge 67K miles. A few months ago experienced 'hesitation" & some jerking once accelerated. It would continue until around 40 mph. Took to dealer, determined initially it was the Purge Valve. This was repaired; however, rec'd a call that torque converter locking & slipping. The fluid has metal parts. They said there was damage to the transmission. They didn't recommend repairing because the same issue will happen. A new transmission in process of being done. Been in service dept. since 8/11/25. Not finished with repairs yet. Found out via search that this issue is common with this year of vehicle & mileage & owners suggest filing a complaint. The warranty has expired & cost of repair is very expensive. Search also seems to have other model years having the same issue.

2019 Ford Edge with 8F35 transmission, there were no warning lights or codes. Shuddering and jerking both while accelerating and at cruising speeds. At steady highway speed, engine speed would jump by hundreds of RPM a few times times per minute. Problem started at about 70,000 miles and gradually got worse. Changed transmission fluid at 85,000 miles, despite owner's manual recommendation to change at 100,000 miles. Fluid was completely brown, with no trace of red. Shuddering improved but not eliminated.

Transmission started shuddering when changing gears. Started happening at around 55,000 miles. Have done a transmission fluid replacement, and replaced the torque converter as well since mechanic said the torque converter was going bad. Slight improvement, however still being problematic.

Ce vehicule est tres dangereux en accelerant et decelerant sur les autoroutes car hesitation a l’acceleration et en decelerant …probleme de transmission et mon vehicule a 53000 km ce n’est pas normal j’espere que vous prendrez cette plainte au serieux car ce n’est pas une usure normal pour un vehicule d’autant plus que j’ai fait remplacer fluide a transmission!!!!

Transition its not stable.Had to overhaul it with less then 60k mils

Transmission is juttering and slipping significantly. Low power on take off and no check engine light on. Dealer states there is nothing wrong but clearly something is wrong with the Transmission.

The car was starting to jerk it felt like it was not getting gas or something. I took it to the Food Dealership and they told me the torque converter needed to be replaced. The estimate was 4818 plus tax. I researched this issue and found several complaints and feel there should be a recall. I even got an extended warranty but it expired. There were no warning lights or notifications stating there was a problem.

I was driving to work on a busy street, started accelerating and the car completely shut down on me. I had to come to a complete stop on the main road during morning rush hour. Was close enough to idle into a parking lot. All my dashboard lights started flashing with an "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" alert. No throttle response. Had to have the vehicle towed to the Ford dealership where they determine that the coolant was leaking into the engine. Replaced the EGR cooler ($2300). Drove off the lot and the vehicle was shuttering upon acceleration. A( A known issue with the Ford 2.0 ecoboost engines but yet there is no recall) after diagnosing, Ford came back and said I need to replace the torque convertor ($3100). This is a 2019 vehicle with 84,277 miles on it. These issues SHOULD NOT be happening. Ford has done nothing but issue TSB's on them.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not under the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

Vehicle start bucking at low speeds around 65,,000 miles, felt like transmission wasn’t shifting gears. Transmission needed to be rebuilt. Ford said there was. TSB about it. 3 weeks later this doing the same thing and now fluid is leaking on drivers side behind front wheel.

There is a shudder while driving and the rear parking system gives a warning and doesn’t work. Both issues have recalls in the same and other years of this vehicle but according to my vin there’s no recalls. I have received a recall report for my vehicle but my vin says no recalls

Torque converter failed at 88,000 miles. This is a known problem in this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving and exceeding 40 MPH, the vehicle hesitated. Additionally, while attempting to make a left or right turn, there was an abnormal thumping sound coming from the wheels. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond as intended. There was no warning light illuminated. An independent mechanic was contacted, and the vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that transmission fluid was leaking from the transmission and the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V550000 (POWER TRAIN); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,402.

The torque converter within the power train system failed, causing the vehicle to shutter while traveling at speeds up to 45 mph, then eventually not even allowing the vehicle to reach 45 mph at all. My safety was put at risk because it could cause a wreck if traveling at higher speeds and the vehicle all of a sudden slows to a lower speed. This is a known problem to Ford, there are many complaints from people who own a Ford Edge with the torque converter going out, but Ford has yet to issue a recall. My car is currently at the service department of a Ford dealership with the torque converter being confirmed as the culprit. This is week 3 that my car has been sitting there waiting for the repairs, because the torque converter is on back order. There were no warning lamps that came on to alert me there was any issue with my vehicle. The only way we found out was by taking it to have it looked at because of the shuttering. No warning lamps or messages whatsoever.

Last year, the 2.0 ecoboost had a coolant intrusion. After 2 times ford dealer talking with someone in company, the repacerd egr valve, egr cooler and finally had a long block motor installed. Then a little while later had to replace transmission, then the steering box. My extended warranty covered this but it ran out at the end of May. I think I should be compensated either by extended warranty or money. Any of those problems could have resulted in an accident. First took to Lynn layton ford in decatur, took back a couple of weeks and could not get to it, took to eddie pruitt ford in hartselle, where they took care of the problems.

Torque Converter issue, vehicle shakes or stutters, or bucks when switching gears. It starts when I reach around 23 mph, comes out of it between 28-32, but then it happens again at 43-48. This is especially noticeable after being stopped at stop signs or red lights. Local dealer is aware. My mothers car (same make, model, year is having the same issue) No lights or anything come on.

Without warning or prior issues, while driving the car on a busy street the check engine light came on, the car shook and locked up/stopped suddenly. I was almost rear ended. The car would not restart. A known TSB is in place for this car and the head gasket design flaw allows coolant into the engine causing it to seize on even low mileage cars (under 46,000 miles). 19 year old female left stranded in highway after a near collision. Ford needs to be forced to recall these engines and fix this design flaw!

Torque converter issue, saying I need to replace the transmission. Only 72k miles on it

Blown head gasket due to faulty engine block design

Bucking under acceleration

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle briefly hesitated and shifted between gears before returning to normal functionality. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the transmission was replaced three times within 6 years. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 62,000.

The problem is the torque converter. It causes a hesitation when accelerating from being stopped, usually around 30-43 mph is when the car acts like it isn't going to speed up and slows down instead of speeding up. I had the torque converter replaced once in Sept. 2024. My car has 82,213 miles. I took my car in today 8/5/25 and was confirmed that the torque converter need to be replaced again. The Ford service department told me that they have had 8 - 10 Ford Edges come in in the last 2 weeks with the same problem. I have 2 family members that have Ford Edges that is having the same issues.

The vehicle hesitates, bucks, and surges when accelerating from low speed 0-25 mph making it difficult and hazardous merging into traffic and other driving situations. The hesitation, bucking, and surging is getting progressively worse and occurs at higher speeds now. The car has 60k miles. The fluid levels were checked and no problems found. The Ford dealer claims the issue is not familiar and they are advise it would take several days before an expensive diagnostic could be performed. Ford dealer said there were no recalls for this vehicle and no service bulletins for my complaint
