2019 Ford Edge Engine

Car stutters and hesitates when accelerating. Almost got in accident when trying to merge onto interstate. Two different repair shops say there is an issue with the Torque converter. They suggest a complete transmission rebuild or replacement.

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 while driving at 25-30 MPH into town, the contact noticed there was white exhaust smoke emerging from the tailpipe. The engine shut down. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was related to TSB: 20-2234. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that water had leaked into the engine. The contact called the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the head gasket needed to be replaced and was unable to confirm any water in the engine. The dealer referred the contact to the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, opened a case, and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000.

See attached document for complaint.

The vehicle was not shifting properly and was surging while traveling at lower and higher speeds. There was NO CHECK ENGINE light on or any other warning lights at all. The vehicle is in my name, however, my daughter drives 9 hours for college by herself and could have been at risk of injury had the vehicle stalled in the wintertime between Minnesota and Kansas. I drove it while she was home over the winter break and noticed it. I took it to a Ford dealer and they said the transmission needed to be replaced. I went from diagnosing there was a problem myself with no warning lights to the dealer saying this is very common for the Ford Ecoboost engines and that the car is not drivable at all. He was also concerned the low coolant level was due to an engine failure which he said they've also seen a lot of. The vehicle only has 57,000 miles on it, however, it is 6 months past warranty. I have read the Ford forums about this vehicle and there are SO MANY people who have experienced the same thing and Ford refuses to do a recall to cover their mistake. There needs to be a recall on this to protect consumers like myself. This is so frustrating. Now I need to pay out of pocket for a new transmission on a car that I need to get rid of ASAP after hearing about all of the engine failures. I know that would be next, which would put my daughter at risk once again on the road.

In November 2024 Customer Complaint: Engine/transmission is sputtering on acceleration between 20–40 MPH. Code Pulled: Misfire code on Cylinder 4. Action Taken: Swapped ignition coil from Cylinder 4 to 3. Removed spark plug and noted wear/carbon tracing. Replaced all 4 spark plugs with Motor craft SP-594 (ASP594). No misfire present after repair. Same misfiring issue returns May 2025.

The sensor on the EGR cooler failed. I have had my EGR cooler replaced two times. The most recent time was in September of 2024. In December of 2024, the engine light came on and the warning messages showed in the Fordpass app stating there was an issue with the exhaust system. After the dealership reviewed it, they had to replace the EGR sensor.

The EGR cooler on my vehicle had to be replaced. This is listed on a TSB issued by Ford, however, is not a recall. The first time it had to be replaced was 11/2021 when my vehicle had 36,949 miles on it. This was diagnosed by the dealership and the part was replaced. The engine warning light came on and the messages showed in the Ford app letting me know what was occurring and that I needed to go to the dealership

My vehicle had to have the EGR cooler replaced for the second time. The first time was when the vehicle was at almost 37,000 miles, the second time was at 129,575 miles. Just like during the previous occurrences, the check engine light came on and the message in my Fordpass app advised that there was a problem with the engine cooling system and I needed to proceed to my dealership. In this instance, I had it towed to the dealership rather than driving it. This is the same system that currently has a TSB issued for it.

While my vehicle was in the shop having the transmission rebuilt and the torque converter replaced, the techs identified that there was a continued shudder. At this time, after researching the codes on my vehicle, they identified that the EGR Purge Valve needed to be replaced. They identified it because the vehicle was running rough and should not have been after the items were repaired.

Cooling intrusion to motor, engine replaced

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.

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.
