2019 Ford Edge complaints

Car began to jerk, shudder and lurch during acceleration. Sometimes jerking strong enough to make steering difficult. Took car to dealership and was diagnosed as a torque converter issue. Was told this is a common issue with this transmission and was quoted nearly $5000 to repair. No lights or warnings come on. The problem began very abruptly. Currently the car has yet to be repaired so parts would be available to inspect if needed.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle jerked before slamming into gear. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics. However, no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the torque converter had failed. The vehicle has not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The contact associated the failure to manufacturer recall number: 20S49. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

TRANSMISSION IS SHUDDERING AND JERKING

My 2019 Ford Edge transmission has been shuddering, jerking, and harsh shifting at low speeds. I’m afraid when driving the transmission is going to fall out of. the car on the road - doesn’t make me feel safe driving it. Took it to dealer and they tell me it is normal wear and tear on the vehicle, which I question. Call Ford and they tell me there is no recall on this vehicle about its transmission, there should be - it is unsafe. There was no Service Engine Lights, just knocking, jerking as I start to drive the vehicle. Please reach out Ford and heave them fix the issue under a recall.

Shuddering when driving, hard shifting down, transmission feels to be slipping. no warning lights on yet. I am worried about it not shifting and causing an accident or slipping the gear & causing an accident.

Needs new torque converter at 66,000 miles.

Vehicle has hard shifting, delayed response when changing gears. Sudden shudders or almost a bucking type motion when attempting to go after stopping at red lights. Torque converter was replaced in January of 2024. Vehicle began have same issues and same parts were replaced in April of 2025. It is now July of 2025 vehicle is completely obsolete and unable to shift out of any gear or even into neutral. All work performed at a ford certified dealership. Vehicle now being worked on for the third time with the same issues and parts being replaced car has been inoperable for a month at a time for three consecutive years.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop, the vehicle shuddered, and the failure ceased while driving 45-50 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where a tune-up was performed, and the fuel lines were cleaned; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be taken apart. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

Bucking at low speeds. Only 48,000 miles on car. In the shop now to replace the torque converter.

75,000 miles - rough shifting, appears to be torque converter like everyone else.

Vehicle shudders and shakes at low speeds. Been doing this since 43k miles and it now reflects it as a possible torque converter problem.

Transmission shudder. Will most likely have to pay for a new transmission or torque converter out of pocket in a vehicle with 52k miles and regular maintenance. It is unsafe to drive in its condition as the vehicle could break down/blow up at any given moment. Problem has been inspected and confirmed by licensed mechanic. Absolutely no warning signs. No check engine light or codes appeared. I purchased the car in February 2025 and the shudder started in June 2025. It is my vehicle to commute to work In and I bought it with the intent of getting over 100K miles out of it. I haven’t even hit 10k. This is ridiculous, there are so many people I have been in contact with that have the same issues and have had to pay 3-9k to replace a part that should not be malfunctioning at such low miles!! Ford needs to be held responsible for their mistakes and compensate those who trusted them and bought Edges off of them.

The car is experiencing shuddering and jerking during acceleration. My research indicates that is a common and prevalent transmission problem in the 2019 and 2020 models. There is a unsafe lag time until adequate speed can be achieved. An independent shop preformed fluid service and took note of the problem. There were no codes related to the transmission.

Longblock engine cracked between the 2nd and 3rd cylinders due to coolant intrusion without any warning. No lights indicated low coolant nor that the temperature was rising. My car kept stalling at stop lights but would restart. By the time I got home, white smoke was coming from exhaust and it smelled like fireworks. It has 38,997 miles but is 6 years old and out of warranty. Ford wanted $12,691.17 to install a new engine with only a 1 year warranty. I had the engine replaced with a used engine and before I could get the car home, the replacement engine block cracked in the same place as mine. That engine only had 40,000 miles. Ford claims no issues with my car but the 2018 and 2017 Edge's have a recall for the same issue. This is not true!!

When depressing the gas pedal from start to about 35 mph the suv bucks constantly. I get no bucking at highway speeds. Had it scanned and said a misfire on cylinder 4. I replaced all plugs and the coil pack. Still the bucking. Took it to a mechanic. They did a compression test. 166 to 170 then a BG air induction clean. Still to no avail.

The car has 70,000 miles on it. The cars transmission feels like its hesitating or slipping in low speed or when you first take off. Its dangerous turning into highways. Theirs recalls on this same make amd model and year but this car by vin says heir is no recalls. But its doing the same thing as the other recalled cars. Took it to ford dealer. Ted britt, in Fairfax, va. They said it was not under recall. They printed out a report and also said theirs no codes on car. They stated the transmission might have to be recalibrated, or I need a new transmission. Took it to another mechanic shop the car did not have check engine light on but did have codes stored. The mechanic said they can service transmission and check fluid levels. The dealer never said anything to me about when I should get it serviced or at how many miles. So I dont know who to believe. Looked online said that year has recalls and that the trans should be serviced at 30 to 50 thousand miles. So why wouldn't the dealer say that if that could affect the safty of this vehicle. I only use the dealer to get serviced. It just makes me not trust ford because of all the recalls they have they cant afford to fix more cars. Im also contacting better buisness bureau and documenting everything. I have two diagnostic reports 1 from deal 1 from a mechanic shop. Both saying different things. This should be under recall the mechanic from the shop told me to file a report he said he can fix transmission but does not want to to

Vehicle has 71,452 miles and has started using coolant and the wrench and check engine light are coming on. This is a known issue in other years of ford vehicles and this vehicle should also be included in the recall.

The engine was stuttering on 07/06/2025 the check engine light came on. Was able to get appointment with dealership on 07/09/2025 - they tested the 2019 Edge and had to replace the purge valve and line assembly. The vehicle only has 45,299 miles. The Edge has had recalls for this problem on other model years. Cost me $1,117.77 I have never over filled or topped off my fuel tank. On 03/29/2024 The transmission had to be replaced under warranty.

There is an issue with starting the car after fueling up the car every time for past 6-8 months. Car appears to not be getting fuel and I have to keep pressing the accelerator pedal to try and start the car making it sound like I could potentially flood the engine. I was told this might have something to do with there being no gas cap on this model. It is unsafe as it sometimes causes the vehicle to not start or stall after starting when pulling away from the gas pump. This only happens when adding fuel to the vehicle, at no other time do I experience this malfunction. I have not taken it to a Ford dealer or service center yet due to not wanting to be blindsided by something else mysteriously being labeled as "wrong" or in need of repairs.

The car sputters while driving and jolts especially during take offs. When took it to dealership they said they tried everything there was nothing they could do to fix it. My best option was to get another car. I can’t afford another car. The problem is persistently getting worse. I’m afraid that it is going to just end up dying in the middle of the street. Car has less than 70,000 miles on it. I take great care of it. Was one of my favorite cars until a problem occurred with no way of fixing and no clue if it will cause an accident The original problem started out last year small and bearable but it’s been the last 2 days that it has just took a complete turn for the worse

Transmission needs replacement after only 82,000 miles with regular oil changes and routine maintenance. Ford dealership quote $9600 plus tax for repair. It is unacceptable for Ford to manufacture and sell vehicles with known transmission issues. This could lead to myriad of safety issues.

Two instances now where I am driving vehicle start shuttering. Jerks then speeds up and selecting random gears. Checked fluid levels all fine. Had another incident on the freeway where I suddenly went from 70 mph to a screaming vehicle that rapidly slowed down to 30 mph. I was forced to idle back on the shoulder. Vehicle is back in the shop again.

In my 2019 ford edge sel the transmission is slipping gears at a continuously inconsistent rate. It flutters from 2000rpm to 3000 rpm the entire time it is driven. Sometimes it will slip gears so bad my car will stop very harshly with a loud bang. There are no warning lights present. When driving on the highway and this happens it causes safety concerns because I am abruptly slowing down. The vehicle does not fully stop or turn off. The collision sensor has gone off when it happens. When driving at lower speeds the transmission flutter is at its worst. Normally when slowing down/ stopping at the stop sign or red light then accelerating when it’s clear to continue driving. I have not had the vehicle inspected yet but my transmission is getting flushed next week to see if that helps while I can save up to buy a new one. This is a constant issue that randomly started a few weeks ago. I did not drive my car often but relocated and live an hour away from my job. Now that I’m driving it more frequently it has developed some sketchy habits.

Our 2019 Ford Edge (purchased in November 2018) has had a coolant leak into the engine's cylinders. As a result we are facing an estimated $12,000 expense to essentially rebuild the engine. In doing some research, it appears as if there is a class action lawsuit already filed against Ford for the 2015-2018 Edge. Our situation is exactly the same as that described in the lawsuit. Therefore, it seems as if Ford still has not rectified the issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact used a vehicle scanner to scan the vehicle. The contact retrieved DTC: P0446 (Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP) vent control circuit malfunction).

Transmission stops working / does not engage. At low RPMs, heavy jolts. Safety concern. Dealer assistance not correcting to date.

Scheduled tire rotation with Ford. Unable to complete because of lug nuts swelling which Ford is aware of. My lug wrench does not fit. I now have to spend $200.00 to replace all lug nuts on a 2019 Ford Edge. This should be a recall issue and at least a safety issue. To be stranded on the road only to find out the lug wrench doesn't fit anymore 😒

The car's back up camera fails (no picture, only snow) when below 40 degrees or above 90 degrees. This has been occurring for years. There is a recall for 2021 Ford Edges for back up camera failures - it should be extended to 2019 or earlier.

The Start / Stop fuel savings system stopped working in 2021. The engine idles constantly whether the drives are long or short. Ford said they would fix the system when parts were available. No fix to date when I set an appointment for basic service.

Shuttering of gears & jumping had tss and oss sensors changed never fixed the issue. Vehicle has been well maintained with manufacturer guidelines. But now needs a transmission. Confirmed by transmission specialist. No warning lights or notice. Had it towed to shop due to being unsafe to drive. Vehicle went into limp mode

Transmission lost fluid causing transmission to go bad. Ford has a recall on the transmission but not for my VIN

TRANSMISSION FLUID FULL AND BLACK IN COLOR. TORQUE CONVERTER CAME APART WHICH RESULTED IN MATERIALS ON DIP STICK AND BAD SHUDDER SHIFTING ON THE 1-2 AND 2-3. DEALERSHIP WAS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REQUESTING ASSISTANCE WITH THE SHUDDERING ISSUE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THEY COULD FIX. EACH SERVICE LEVEL STATES THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE CHECKED, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE DIPSTICK THAT THEY DO NOT CHECK. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE AN ISSUE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP DID DIAGNOSE WITH THE CODE: 61439 TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDS REPLACING

The transmission, particularly from 3 to 4 and some from 5 to 6 jerks. This is a continuing issue with this model. My shop has told me it was the Torque Converter and is common with 2019 Edges.
