2019 Ford Edge complaints

I took my car to the dealership because it was idling rough and then would stall out with the battery light on. In addition, it would not come out of park. Upon turning it off and back on, it would shake and run rough, before stalling out. After that, it started up and drove fine. The dealership was unable to duplicate this issue, there were no lights and no codes. The vehicle was driven without any issues by them. This is a safety issue because there is obviously something going on with this vehicle, however, the vehicle is not alerting anyone and is not having any computer codes. The vehicle stalling out in any location creates a hazard not only for those in this vehicle, but other vehicles and pedestrians.

I took my vehicle to the dealership because it would stall out while idling and the warning lights would come on. After restarting the vehicle, it would drive fine. It would stall out in random places, typically at a low speed. Upon arrival at the dealership, they looked for codes and lights (there were none) and attempted to recreate the issue (they were unable to). They checked the stored data and no information was present. The stalling is a safety concern since there is no record of what is causing it, it cannot be recreated, and the vehicle is not providing any information to indicate there is an issue until after it stalls (which is just the dash lights coming on). This is at least the 4th time the vehicle has been in for a similar issue, and the vehicle has no record of what is occurring. There are no error messages showing in the Ford app either.

I took my vehicle into the dealership after identifying that when putting fuel in, the vehicle was prone to stalling after getting fuel (typically when fueling from E). I brought the vehicle to the dealership extremely low on fuel, at which point they were able to recreate the issue and were able to identify an error code. The fact that I had brought the vehicle in at least 8 other times and the vehicle had not shown any lights or any error codes is extremely concerning. They had to replace the purge valve. The vehicle is clearly indicating that this is a worsening condition and it becomes more frequent. The vehicle is stalling more frequently. Why wouldn't the vehicle begin to show error codes and lights when the item STARTS to go bad, rather than in very specific situations and only after an extended period of time? This is absolutely a safety concern - anything that is going to cause a vehicle to stall while in the roadway should trigger a code or lights or error messages when it STARTS to occur, not when it is almost completely expired. By that point, the driver, pedestrians and others may ALSO be expired. It is absolutely not safe, and it is crazy that after going to the dealership 8+ times, them driving and testing the vehicle multiple times, that it doesn't show up as an error code until almost 2 years after the behavior started.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled with the check engine and coolant warning light illuminated. The contact also noticed white smoke coming from the exhaust. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the EGR valve failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 26,446.

Transmission failed due to issue with planetary gear. According to the mechanics, this is not a part that can be accessed or maintained by the consumer. Yet the entire transmission is shot because of it. Cost to repair is $12,000. Ford is paying $5,000. Shouldn't they pay more since it's a defective part? I see reports of transmission issues across Ford Edge models.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle shut down. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the dealer refused to diagnose the vehicle and provided the contact an estimate for the repair. The contact stated the air conditioner and catalytic converter also had failed to operate as designed. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic for the repair. The contact stated that the purge valve and spark plugs were replaced, and an oil change was performed. After the vehicle was repaired, the contact stated while depressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle hesitated to respond. The vehicle was inspected by another independent mechanic at the residence, and it was diagnosed and determined that the spark plugs and ignition coil needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

Vehicle started making a repetitive "rubbing" noise and I smelled something burning, but unlike burnt rubber, it was a burning smell I've never encountered before. I was going about 35mph at the time this began. Within about 500ft, I slowed down as I approached an intersection and the vehicle stalled just as I was entering the intersection. There were no warning lights. I put it in park and attempted to restart it a couple times with no luck, then the third time I pressed and held the button, and it took about 4 seconds to start (seemed to struggle). On another occasion, I had just filled up my tank at a gas station, started my car, drove about 10 feet, then the car stalled. This time it restarted without issue. The dealership was unable to duplicate the problem, they were willing to try again after I explained that recall 20S49 sounded similar to the problem I was having, but I didn't end up leaving my car with them because of the cost of the diagnosis and loaner car. I believe my VIN should have been recalled, as there is clearly something wrong, but since it is not in the system as a recall and I don't have the money to troubleshoot it, I am planning to sell the car to Ford, as I cannot, in good conscience, sell to a private buyer when I believe the vehicle may stall. I figure if I sell to Ford, it puts the liability of the defect back in their hands, where it belongs.

My Ford Edge 2019 only has 68,000 miles and I felt it jerking at 30 mph. I checked with Ford, there is no recall. A transmission shop says the whole thing needs to be replaced because Ford uses cheaper parts on the transmission. Total cost will be $8,000. For a car with low miles. Online forums shows a lot of people have the same issues. Can they be forced to recall these?? Or help me pay for mine to be fixed?

In May of 2024 Transmission downshifting hard at 35 mph as slowing down car milage was 67529. Took to dealer who performed diagnostics and verified a transmission problem; inspected fluid which was okay, performed TSB and reprogrammed PCM and reinstalled transmission strategy in module. Repairs done under warranty. Perform adaptive learn and noted it will feel different while driving for next few hundred miles. Six months later in November of 2024 transmission would hesitate, shudder, jerk between 20-40 mph and car mileage was 75937. Took back to dealer who did diagnostics, monitor PIDS and found the torque converter has failed causing shutter and also found the vehicle is flair shifting between gears. Checked fluid level and proper level is in transmission but fluid has meta debris. Dealer Service Representative advised it needs new transmission and would cost $800 or more to fix problem. Warranty expired at 72000 miles. We bought car new and had dealer perform all maintenance procedures and oil changes, etc. as noted in required maintenance schedule. We asked to speak with Service Manager who we saw in her office and we were told we'd need to make an appointment in late December or early January. We got no help from dealer or manufacturer, despite several technical service bulleting available at NHTSA showing transmission problems with 2019 Ford Edge. We finally got rid of the car but would say Ford Edges have definite transmission issues that may indicate a need for recall

2019 Ford Edge Titanium Rear Lift Gate Glass Shatters. The rear lift gate glass of a 2019 Ford Edge Titanium shattered by simply and normally closing the driver side door without warning or symptoms. There was no impact of any object with the lift gate glass. Rear glass defogging heat was not on at the time. This rendered the vehicle unsafe to drive and cost the owner roughly $1000 to repair. It was not inspected by the manufacturer, but repairs were made by an authorized Ford Dealer. Local news channel ran a news story piece on similar occurrences, so it is believed this is not a random occurrence.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at approximately 60 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated to respond. The contact stated that upon depressing the accelerator pedal again, the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, the contact stated that the transmission was downshifting unintendedly while driving. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive coolant consumption. The contact stated that there was a coolant leak. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, the engine overheated even though coolant had been added to the vehicle five days prior. The low coolant warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to pull over safely. The contact called the local dealer and was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was determined that there was no visible coolant leak. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under TSB Number: 19-2346. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. The VIN was not available.

Engine overheated while driving on the highway. White smoke came out of tailpipe during engine running. Coolant reservoir was empty after I parked the car and turned off the engine. Had to get the car towed to the dealership the next day to get it checked out and was confirmed that coolant got leaked inside the engine.

Trans was shuddereing at 112000 miles replaced trans for 8000 dollars at dealership ..new trans has 80000 miles on it and now shuttering when accelerating ..trans needs replaced again..

Cooling intrusion to motor, engine replaced

In 2019 Ford removed the Low gear option from the shifter dial. Customers were forced to manually shift using paddle shifters to access engine braking in steep grade situations. Current Ford TCM programming for 2019 and newer vehicles skips from first to third gear at 4mph, 900-1000 rpm, providing no engine braking ability in speeds below 25 mph when using paddle shifters. My vehicle manual states “SelectShift does not automatically upshift, even if the engine is approaching the RPM limit, unless the accelerator pedal is at full travel.” Despite contradictions to how the Ford owners manual says my car should operate, the dealership says it’s working as intended. I believe this violates NHTSA standard Section S3.1.2 of that states that “[in] vehicles having more than one forward transmission gear ratio, one forward drive position shall provide a greater degree of engine braking than the highest speed transmission ratio at vehicle speeds below 25 miles per hour." Third gear does not provide more engine braking ability than Drive in speeds below 25mph. This is a safety issue which could lead to potential brake failure in long, steep grade situations and provides no engine braking ability.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle shuddered. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.

The vehicle is only five years old with only approx. 47,000 miles on it and we had to have the transmission replaced in September 2024. It's primarily used for driving locally but every year we use it to take a vacation but normally don't put more than 400-500 miles on it during the trip. The Ford dealership we had the transmission replaced at stated it was a factory defect yet we never received any notice about any kind of recall and the dealership we bought it from never mentioned anything about it. Having to have the transmission replaced with so few miles seems pretty odd.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the instrument cluster intermittently turned black. There was no warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at slow speeds, the vehicle drove roughly. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

Transmission problem. Vehicle shudders while accelerating and cruising at highway speeds. No codes found, torque converter is shuddering between 1-300 rpms while accelerating and while cruising at highway speeds. This could cause catastrophic failure at any second. Reproduced and Confirmed by Ford Dealership. Has not been inspected by anyone else. No warning lamps or messages. 2 weeks prior there was a slight vibration when it shifted while accelerating that happened 3 times. Drove 400+ miles up to Syracuse NY fine. Drove back home and experienced massive shuddering when I was almost home. Dropped off car at local dealership that was thankfully within a few miles.

The Transmision hesitates and jerks while shifting at speeds from 25-40 mph. This is unsafe while pulling into traffic, and causes unnecessary wear on the drivetrain!. I have read about many others who have the same issues, with little help from Ford. We have an appointment at our Ford dealership. No warning lights light up when it acts up.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, the "Engine Coolant Overheating" warning message appeared on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed back to the home. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there was a recall on the vehicle for the failure(recall unknown); however, the contact's vehicle was not included in the recall. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA Hotline to file a complaint. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that the failure was caused by the engine consuming coolant at a rapid pace. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle jerked upon acceleration or deceleration. No warning lights were ever illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

2019 Ford Edge has the same 2.0 liter eco boost 240PS that’s currently involved in the class action lawsuit. The problem is that the coolant sleeve is too close to the toy he cylinder and failed causing coolant to enter the engine. I was traveling on the interstate and with no warning the hot engine light came on and engine shut down. The dealer confirmed that the mother need to be replaced with the updated long block that is being put in the 2015 - 2018 Ford Edge and the 2017 - 2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape and MKC vehicles. The vehicle only has 75000 miles on it and has never towed or been used hard. We had the vehicle for less that 15,000 miles and now have a completely useless vehicle. Ford refuses to admit any fault even with the engine codes being the exact same. The 2019 for edge need to be looked into and included with the class action lawsuit for safety and consumer satisfaction.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission was slipping, and the vehicle struggled to remain in the intended gear. Additionally, while driving at highway speeds, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic who confirmed the transmission failure diagnoses. The transmission was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 104,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 30-40 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle jerked and lurched forward. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. 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 unknown.

Engine coolant sucked into motor. Check engine light and temp light came on. Luckly was intown and doing 40 mph. Copy of repair order from dealer uploaded.

My 2019 Ford Edge SEL has 37,000 miles and I keep it maintained regularly. We were 2 miles from our house when a loud blaring signal popped on my dashboard that my coolant was very low and at that point the car started "sputtering". We inched it home and sure enough, the coolant was empty. We've had no leaking on the driveway at any time. We filled the coolant reservoir and the message did not go away. We had it towed to our mechanic the next day and he said the engine needed to be replaced!!!! What? NO WARNING!! Now 2 days prior (which was a Friday), my check engine light came on and I could see a white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe and the car hesitated. After a few minutes, that went away. Drove it to work and back - 4 miles each way. The next day it happened again and again it stopped after a few minutes. I drove it maybe 10 miles after that running errands and then parked it for the day. The following day is when it "died". I received no other message or warning until it was too late. We were told by our mechanic that Ford has had numerous complaints on this engine. It is a Turbo on a 4 cylinder. The Turbo part will eventually overwork the 4 cylinder. Of course it is out of warranty. Now I am spending over $6,000 to replace this engine. Why in the world would Ford even install an engine like this in their vehicles? And why are they not recalling them?????? My husband has always had Ford Trucks and Mustangs - We have always been Ford People. I will never buy another

Purge flow valve had replaced by Ford Service on 10/5/24. Car wouldn’t start after getting gas. Check engine light came on. Code was Po496. Currently, upon acceleration @15-20 mph car starts jerking, buck, slipping, very hard to go hill. Took to Ford Service for diagnostic on 10/15/24. Told torque converter shuddering on PIDS. Recommend replacing torque converter @ a cost of $5200. Per, reviewing many complaints on this same model & yr many haven’t had success with just replacing torque converter. It doesn’t fix issue. Transmission had to be replaced. Ford does have a TSB 21-2389 that supersedes TSB 21-2081 out. It states cars with 8F35 transmission may have this issue due to the software in the power train control module. Instructing, to reprogram the PCM & the transmission solenoid strategy. After reviewing all complaints on this issue, this solution does not correct problem. I was also told by Ford service; this wouldn’t fix the issue. From what I’ve read the way this transmission is engineered will likely cause it to always do this. Because Ford Frankensteined the 6F35 (previous models) by inserting 2 gears in between existing ones, the transition from 1-2-3 will never be as fluid as 3-4, 4-5, and so on. Basically what is 1-3 on mine (8F35) is 1-2 on a 6F35. This quite frankly is a terrible transmission & only a matter of time before transmission goes completely out & someone gets killed. This year & model has numerous issues not listed here. Seems like as soon as warrant

Transmission needs repaired/replaced and car doesn't even have 100,000 miles. It appears to be a known issue and Ford is doing nothing about it

We purchased our 2019 Ford Edge Titanium in March of 2022 with 71K miles on it from a local used car dealer. The vehicle was jerky in the lower speeds (up to 40 mph) - best described as if the transmission did not know what gears to go in, so it would jump back and forth, causing uncontrollable hesitations and accelerations - jumping back and forth between gears. The dealer said this was normal for the newer 10 speed transmissions and that it had to learn each new driver. At that time, there weren't reported issues online about these transmissions, so I accepted the dealers explanation as normal. The jerking and jumping between gears got worse and at 91K miles, the vehicle even stopped going in reverse, which made it even more dangerous. We replaced the transmission with another used transmission (believe 18K miles on it) and that one was even worse with the jerkiness and jumping back and forth, so we replaced it with another used transmission (believe 45K miles on it) which is now having the exact same issues. We have 95K miles on our vehicle and are now needing a 3rd transmission replacement. No safety warning lights came up. While it's a big inconvenience with the vehicle being constantly in repair, the bigger issue is the incredible safety issue with the hesitations and jumping in and out of gears, reverse not working, etc. that can put multiple people's lives in danger when the vehicle is not reacting and performing without hesitation. We have had close calls on crashes

Sept. My car began bucking and jerking really bad. I was at 63,000 miles. I called Ford who said to get it in...the soonest they could get me in was over a month out. I told them it was a serious safety concern because of the jerking and that they were putting my safety at risk making me wait so long driving a car like that. I had to wait. I tried fuel injection cleaner to see if that would help, it didn't. I never had any codes or lights saying anything was wrong. Ford looked at it and drove it and the mechanics understood why I felt unsafe driving it, they said it jerked really bad. I told Ford I was afraid it would jerk and hit someone when leaving a light or cause me to get hit by jerking and pausing while turning. I was in there a few months ago trying to schedule my transmission fluid to be changed and they told me no I needed to come back between 70-75,000 miles. Today they told me that the transmission fluid was black with metal in it. They said I now need a new transmission at $8,333.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle jerked and hesitated to respond. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the torque converter had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

Our 2019 Ford Edge SEL has been experiencing a problem related to the driveline where during shifts, the car can buck or jerk and causes harsh shifts. In addition, during a long car ride with children in the car while going steady state down the road, the engine started to rev and the car began to slow down as if the transmission was slipping. The car lost significant power and was forced to pull the car over and stop. I shut the car off and waited about a minute. We then turned the car back on and it seem to work. The dealer diagnoses was the need for a new torque convertor for a repair cost of $4000. This should not be a normal replacement on a car with under 70,000 miles. Looking at Ford Forums, this is EXTREMELY common. This needs to be a recall. This is dangerous and can cause an accident.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH with cruise control activated and his two kids in the vehicle, the cruise control inadvertently deactivated and the transmission seemed to have fallen out of gear, and the vehicle started bucking and jerking and then lost motive power and started to decelerate. The contact pulled over off the highway and restarted the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure was an ongoing failure with the transmission. Additionally, the contact stated that the transmission was shifting roughly while changing gears. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was also taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact was advised that a temporary fix would be to flush and refill the transmission fluid. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced TSB 21-2081 as probable cause for the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

The transmission shifts very harshly from stop and go. It shakes, slips, and shutters while driving. From around 55-60 mph the car shakes and the rpm jumps around like it’s trying shift gears, occasionally the car will jump as if you’re driving on the white bumpy line. When you let off the accelerator the car shakes. When slowing down to stop, the car downshifts very harshly and makes it feel as if you’re slamming on the brakes. I’m not sure what kind of risk this could cause for me or others. Multiple dealers have said that it must be the transmission needing to be replaced. It has not been inspected by a dealer, that’s just what they’ve told me. The only warning light that has appeared a few times is a “drive not available” warning light when shifting into drive, it immediately shifts the car into park when the warning appears. The car started being jumpy and jerky shortly after being purchased in 2022 with 50,000 miles. Reverse also seems to engage harshly causing the car to make a loud pop noise and a slight jolt occurs. The vehicle now has around 78,000 miles.

This is an update to Complaint Number 11619818 filed on 10/15/2024. The engine surging problem referenced in the original report has been resolved per Technical Service Bulletin 21-2389, found on your website and forwarded to a local Ford dealership service department. Thank you for making available to the public these important technical documents! Best Regards, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

See attached document for complaint.

Vehicle seemed to be idling strange. Also seemed jerky while waiting at the stop light. Attempted to accelerate and it was lagging. Once I started driving it seemed better until the "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" alert displayed. The vehicle then started disbursing a white smoke. After pulling over the light went off, however the vehicle continued to jerk forward and was idling strange. Continued to have a lagging effect when attempting to accelerate. The vehicle continued to emit a white smoke. The vehicle was brought to a mechanic who indicated the head gasket and/or engine needed replacement. Had been told be the mechanic they have had several over issues exactly like this one. They also indicated there was a recall and/or possible lawsuit. My VIN came up with no recall which makes no sense considering I am having the same issue that's been reported under the recall.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds, the vehicle hesitated to respond while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the torque converter had failed and needed to be repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and agreed to partially cover the repair. The vehicle had remained in the possession of the dealer for an extended period. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle downshifted with the transmission speed sensor warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the same diagnostic was provided the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 114,000.

My cars rpm's started randomly jumping which would coincide with a slight jerking feeling when the car shifted gears. First I was told it was my spark plugs and then the coil packs. When both of those were changed and the problem persisted they ran multiple diagnostic tests and came up with nothing. Then my car started to shudder when I put gas in it and then the radio screen and door locks would intermittently stop working and again they found no error codes. Then my pre-collision warning system started going off when there are no cars even remotely near. The same for my blind spot indicators. They just go off for no reason. Now after months of issues and zero error codes, they say it's the transmission failing and it will cost me $6,000 to fix. That's assuming that is actually the problem.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to the shoulder of the road. The contact raised the hood and performed an inspection. The contact noticed that the coolant reservoir was empty, and the coolant had leaked into the exhaust. In addition, the contact stated that the coolant was burning off the exhaust. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed EGR cooler, spark plugs, and an oil change. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not assist. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline and report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 67,035.

Engine: Severe surging at low power settings, especially during engine warm-up. This surging is not related to air conditioner compressor cycling on/off, or turbo lag. Body: Rear hatch "kick to open" feature often activates suddenly without warning and without a deliberate kick motion by operator. This feature cannot be disabled; only the actuator can be disabled using instrument panel menus. This creates a condition where any inadvertent "open" command using any device will unlatch, but not open, the hatch. This can lead to loss of internal security and/or driving with an unlatched hatch. Thank You

The EGR Cooler (K2GZ-9F464-A) on my 2019 Ford Edge Titanum EcoBoost 2L cracked acutely while driving my children to school. No warning lights came on at any point. Once the car was in park, I noticed large amounts of smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipes. I had my children in the car strapped into car seats. Should the car have caught fire my children's lives would have been in jeopardy. Our lives would have also been at risk for injury should my car have completely failed while driving. This part failure has been confirmed by a repair shop. July 09, 2020, there was a TSB by Ford issued for: 2.0L EcoBoost - Illuminated MIL With Various DTCs And/Or Low Coolant Level, White Smoke from Tailpipe And/Or External Coolant Leak. However, this known failure with TSB information was not dispelled to me (the public) through Ford Pass App or by Ford Corporate or the Ford Dealer, where I purchased the car in 2020. A simple PCM software update would have prevented this issue for occurring. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The issue occurred on 10/02/2024.
