2019 Ford Edge POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

This is a 2019 Ford Edge in great condition. I just purchased the vehicle with roughly 90000 miles on it. After roughly 2 weeks of driving, I noticed the vehicle struggles to get up to speed, and the gears shift roughly, especially after a cold start. Additionally, while driving, the gears would struggle to downshift, staying at a higher RPM than it should, such as being stuck at 4000 RPM while driving 30mph, and it would stay like this for about 1-2 minutes. Additionally, from time to time, the reverse gear will not engage at all, this is a major safety concern, God forbid I am somewhere I need to back out from and there is obstruction in the front, only God knows what trouble I would be in. There have been recalls for such cars. It is unfortunate that Ford has not opened an active recall for others with this issue. Please help, this car costs too much, and I fear for my wife and newborn's safety with transmission issues.

My 2019 Ford Edge was having engine problems. I was experiencing shuttering at speeds 20-40 mph. My vehicle odometer is at about 104,000 miles. I took the vehicle into Kendall Ford of Marysville, in Marysville Washington. I requested a diagnostic to determine what was causing the shuttering. I offered a Technical Service Bulletin be performed, as it was a bulletin I found when googling the issues I was experiencing. After the diagnostic the dealership performed Ford Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) TSB 21-2081. After the TSB was performed and did not resolve the issue the dealership said the root cause of the issue is the Torque Converter. I am currently scheduled to have the maintenance to replace the torque converter on 12/15/2025. I read online there are customers and lawyers investigating this same type of issue by Ford and gathering data for a class action lawsuit as this issue is considered a safety hazard, in which Ford is negligent in taking ownership of the issue and notifying the owners via a safety recall.

My car started to stutter whenever I was at a red light and had to accelerate or when I was turning and had to coast and then accelerate. I thought it was my tires and had Goodyear check my tires.. Then it continued. I thought it was a bad tank of gas so when I filled up again, it was still happening. I brought it into the dealership on Friday, October 3rd. It has been at the dealership ever since. they told me that I need a new torque converter bed. Unfortunately, my extended warranty expired on September 12, 2025. I was driving around with it with the symptoms thinking it was other things. I brought it in when it got worse. It has been at the dealership for a whole week. I went online to check the whole situation out and found out that FORD is very aware of this design problem. It’s the same problem that they’ve been aware of for years. It’s a design flaw in this model car. They are no longer making it. This is the reason why. They are telling me it’s gonna cost anything from $7100-$8500. I went online and found a lot of other people that have had the same issue and they have paid $1600.

The torque converter is bad and is sputtering, jerking, not shifting, hard shifts, this is not safe. This is a danger to me and others when the car is jerking and not shifting correctly, safety hazard! Ford dealer confirmed the torque converter is bad. Hundreds, if not thousands of others complaining about their Ford Edge having the same issue. No warning or other problems, or symptoms, it just started jerking and sputtering.

1. The transmission/torque converter causes the car to shift randomly causing almost constant jerking motion especially between 10-40 mph. This tends to lead to reduced power output as the car is constantly shifting gears or stuck is an incorrect gear. Yes, it is available for inspection. This issue is described in TSB 21-2389, which I have had preformed on the vehicle by ford but did not fix the issues. 2. Safety is impacted by the shifting gear reducing the available power output and inconsistent speeds. 3. I have had it in with the Ford Dealership and an independent mechanic. Both could reproduce it. Ford updated the software per TSB 21-2389 which is supposed to address the specific problem, but it did not fix it. The independent dealer reset the control unit, but that also did not fix the issue. 4. Only the ford dealership and independent mechanic. 5. There are no warning lamps or messages.

What happened: The torque converter/transmission system failed. My 2019 Ford Edge (VIN [XXX] , 75,000 miles) experiences a shudder and vibration under 60 mph during normal driving, with no diagnostic trouble codes present. This matches the condition described in Ford Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 25-2154 for the 8F35 transmission. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety risk: The shudder occurs during acceleration and highway merging. It causes the vehicle to hesitate and lurch, which puts myself, passengers, and nearby drivers at risk — especially when merging into traffic or crossing intersections. Loss of smooth power delivery creates a hazard that could result in a collision. Dealer confirmation: The problem has been diagnosed and confirmed by an authorized Ford dealer, who quoted approximately $2,800 for repair (torque converter replacement and PCM reprogram). Manufacturer involvement: The issue was presented to Ford Motor Company, who acknowledged the TSB exists but denied goodwill assistance to cover the repair, even though this is a known defect. Inspections: The vehicle has been inspected by the Ford dealer’s service department. No inspections have been performed by police or insurance representatives. Warning signs/symptoms: There were no warning lamps or error messages. The first symptoms (shuddering and jerking below 60 mph) appeared around [insert month/year you first noticed].

My car is a 2019 Ford Edge I almost got into a accident because the transmission went out of gear and the car would slow down and sometimes just speed up

82000 miles on car. Torque converter and throttle body needs to be replaced

Slipping transmission, the torque converter clutch performance stuck in off .

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 warranty expires problems start popping up. Some issues pop up before warranty expires. This is getting dangerous & very expensive!

I literally financed a 2019 Ford Edge with 88k miles on [XXX] from SUTTON FORD in Matteson IL. I didn’t even have the car 5 hours and the transmission started having serious shifting issues and almost caused me to get in a crack with my son in the car. Took it back to SUTTON FORD and they are telling me the transmission is bad and needs to be replaced. I think this is a problem considering how long I’ve had them vehicle and it is a safety concern that needs to be addressed.

Coolant has leaked into the engine and the exhaust system, presumably through head gasket or the TurboBoost assembly, as described in Ford TSB 22-2133 and TSB 22-2229 (June, 2022). Car, with less than 61,000 miles, is currently being examined by local Ford dealership. Vehicle experienced misfiring before an "engine overheated" warning while driving at freeway speed, which was followed by "coolant low" after the vehicle was pulled over. There were no prior other warnings or check engine lights. Coolant loss through exhaust system was extensive, as when vehicle front end was lifted for towing there was clear evidence of coolant stream leaking from the rear of the muffler under the car. The TSB references 2.0 engines with EcoBoost manufactured before April-May, 2019. This Ford Edge was manufactured 11/2018.

After 60,0000 miles the car started having engine problems, and Ford told us that it would need a new transmission and Engine. When asked about the warranty they said there is none (Purchased car new from Ford). In doing research we noticed that there where similar issues for previous year models of the Edge.

When pushing on gas the car stutters and the engine was replace but still having same problem and also getting power train alerts and malfunction indicator lamp. Started back in October of 2021 till now April 2022.

I HAVE HAD MY 2019 FORD EDGE AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE WITH A COLLANT PROBLEM. THEY HAVE PUT MY EDGE ON THEIR ANALSIS MACHINE AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS WITH ANYTHING PERTAINING TO THE COOLANT. THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING AS TO WHY IT IS LEAKING OR EVAPORATING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS A COOLANT FORD USED IN SOME 2019S MODELS THAT WAS EVAPORATING QUICKLY AND WAS DISCONTINUED IN USE. IVE HAD TO HAVE THEM DRAIN THE OLD COOLANT OUT AND HAVE IT REPLACED BUT SINCE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IVE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE COST. IM ATTACHING 2 PHOTOS 1 TAKEN IN DEC AND 1 TAKEN IN JAN
