2022 Ford Edge complaints

Stuttering between 10-35mph no warning lights went to dealer to get and fuel injection flushed but was told i couldnt do so bc i needed to have transmission looked at and then was advised that i would have to leave it at the dealership for 2weeks with no loaner before anyone could look at it which meant that i had to pay for a rental while waiting just to see if that was the issue the. To be told it will be about 8000 to replace the transmission

I was driving and heard a loud popping sound and there was glass everywhere and my part of my sunroof was blown out. I think it was what they can an exploding sunroof.

Torque converter coming apart inside housing. Metal making its way into the transmission at about 87,000 miles. Dealership inspection was concluded and transmission replacement was recommended. No lights or messages due to problem. This issue results in shuddering and poor shifting along with potential transmission failure while driving, making it extremely unsafe.

A month ago I rear ended somebody. I take full responsibility for this. However the crash alert did not go off. Yesterday I was driving down the road in the dark at about 6:00 AM, by myself, nobody else around and the crash alert went off for about two minutes saying that I was about ready to get into a wreck. Ford did look at it two weeks ago, they had one of their techs walk around it make sure that the crash alert would go off and apparently it did.

Has happened on about 3 or 4 occasions that as I am driving it will get a buzzer sounding and red light on dashboard indicating collision is about to happen although there is no other cars or obstacles in the roadway

Back up camera goes black and sometimes it shows as a white blank screen and says contact dealer

Driving highway speeds and all of sudden lost power. Light came on and said power train issue. Transmission totally went out?! Parking brake would come on randomly when putting car in park without engaging the parking brake.

Was driving about 30 miles a hour and there were no other cars on the road and there were no obstacles in the road and tbe forward collision warning alert started flashing and dinging on the dashboard. There was absolutely no reason it should have gone off this is about the 4th time it has randomly done this now and it’s a bit concerning

I wanted to report that on this vehicle Ford has a very unsafe and hazardous horn. I just purchased the car and had to use the horn for the first time yesterday to avoid a car hitting me. I avoided an accident but the other driver said they did not hear my horn. The horn sound is not loud at all and i thought it was defective. I had others listen to it and they all were amazed at how ineffective the volume was. I did some research on line and found i am not the only one that complained about this to Ford. Apparently Ford changed the horn assembly in sometime after 2017 on the Ford Edge to save money. Apparently there is no federal standard for horn decibel levels on automobiles. I travel with small grandchildren in this car and feel this makes it unsafe, as many, many others do after researching this. It is a disaster just waiting to happen. Can you confirm that there are no regulations for automobile horns other than that they work? I just wanted to bring this up as it is dangerous to drove a vehicle like this. Interested in knowing if you have received any other complaints. Most of the research i have done shows owners actually having the horn assembly removed and replaced with one that actually works correctly at their own expense. Seems Ford should be held accountable for this defect. Seems the opted for profit over safety here. Thanks.

Transmission surges and shudders in low gears making driving at low speeds unsafe. Often feels like driving over heavily pot-holed roads when roads are fine. Jerking forward and backward while accelerating.

Shuddering starting at 78,000 miles. Needed new torque converter. Common complaint/issue with this model.

Transmission. Everyone that owns a 2022 ford edge sel have had to either buy a new transmission or rebuild… out of my 4 vehicles with over 100k miles I have never had transmission issue and now I buy this car and it has transmission issues I’m over it. Ford need to recall their transmission

At 67,000 miles the vehicle started lurching forward and then at one point the traction control light came on the dashboard and the vehicle stopped itself while driving, as if the brakes were being applied, but we weren’t applying the brakes. After turning the car off and turning it back on, it drove with hesitation and was slipping between gears. Also, the front collision sensor has been coming on upon startup for quite some time. Took the car to the Ford dealership, and they determined that the torque converter was bad in the transmission and suggested a full transmission replacement. Ford agreed to cover $4000 of the $10,000 replacement. This means I would have to pay $6000 out of pocket to get a new transmission. We previously had a 2020 Ford edge and had the same exact problem but it was covered under the powertrain warranty as it only had 58,000 miles. At that time, we did a transmission rebuild at the dealership and the car never drove the same after that, which is the reason we bought the 2022 Ford edge, Not thinking we’d have the same exact problem with the transmission.

The transmission of the vehicle is said to be completely damaged from a torque converter issue.

While driving around a curve the tire locked up and I was unable to turn and we ended up in the ditch. There was no collision. Myself and my child could have been seriously injured in this accident. 6 airbags deployed. Apon inspection the fender liner appears to have ripped off the back of the fender well and lodged into the top of the tire and the top front of the wheel well. Pheonix collision had to cut the liner from the car in order to release the tire. The police believed the accident was cause by the wheel well liner as well as pheonix collision. Vehicle was inspected on the scene by the springfield police. Vehicle was also inspected by Pheonix collision in springfield Illinois. There were no warning lights, messages or other symptoms before the accident. Due to this accident my car has almost $19,000 in damages. The passenger side of the vehicle has a few dents from going in the ditch and the front grill had a few broken pieces. There is no damage to the driver side of the vehicle where the felt liner locked up the tire. I have seen numerous people complain how the liner sags down or tears. I didn't notice the liner hanging down or any damage to the liner prior to the accident.

While driving at a slower speed between 20-40 mph the car will have a power surge as my mechanic called it. The RPMS constantly bounce while driving. It is hesitant to accelerate and is riding rough at a low speed. This is a risk while speeding up in traffic or merging onto the interstate the car is hesitant and can’t keep up with traffic which could cause a bad wreck. I had my vehicle at my local mechanic yesterday. It goes to my local ford dealer for inspection next week and they also told me they’ve had multiple reports of this issues from people. I have no lights on, on my dash and my local mechanic checked all my fuses and they were all good. He hooked a code reader up and there were no codes that showed up. This issue started last week on my vehicle.

The car was in a front end collision; the airbags did not deploy. Insurance said the car was reparable and fixed it; car was picked up from body shop on 07/19/2024. In May 2025, at only 3 years old, the transmission went out at 95,000 miles and was just replaced. Ford would not admit the accident had anything to do with the transmission going out on a 3 year old car. I was quoted almost $10,000 to replace it, but Ford "helped" and paid $4000 and I was left with the balance of $6200.

The powertrain control systems transmission shift solenoids is not responding as expected or is stuck in the on position. Some transmission gears may not being available resulting in delayed or harsh shifts into another gear. The vehicle has a shutter that didn’t throw any codes. The vehicle was inspected at a Ford dealer and was told they see nothing wrong and no codes. Withing 30 miles the car was jerking badly and slipping gears. This caused uncontrollable harsh jerking and instant limp mode with no acceleration while driving on a highway. Drive it back to dealer service. Then I got a warning about the power train transmission. Upon further inspection was told the transmission needs completely replaced. There was absolutely no warning before the transmission completely failed. No way to tell it was failing. Ford refuses to handle the issue other than charging me for a new transmission. There are bulletins with similar problems to this year ford edge from the same factory but a few months different time span so no coverage is offered.

1st noticed problem- turning sharply to the right heard clunking coming from under car. Put car into reverse and felt like brake was on. But wasn't. Clunking stop when put back into forward and parked car. One hour later, drove a mile and a half home. No clunking until I backed into driveway. Clunking stopped after going in reverse about 10-15 feet. Drove to Dealer next morning. Couldn't get clunking to happen at quicklane. A few days later went to lunch and was backing into parking spot and clunking returned. After lunch drove to Dealer. They witnessed the clunking. Put car on hoist and checked obvious spots nothing found. Provided loaner and after determining differential was the problem. (almost $5000.00). Problem repaired next day. Had car about 2 weeks and clunking appeared when we were 3 hours away from Dealer. Called and made it to the dealer before closing. Clunking was noticed and this time at the dealer the transfer case was the issue. (Another $5000.00). They said this was the cause of the differential problems. After waiting for a week for ford to release a new transfer case, the car was again repaired. The mileage range of 400 to 1000 was given for the parts to get back in sync and stop making the clunking. We have now have about 600 miles after the last repair and an occasional clunking is still appearing. One more note. We will be traveling to Michigan from Florida in 2 weeks. (1771 miles). Is this car a lemon? Issues started after 60,000 checkup was done.
