2019 Ford Edge Complaint Log

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 contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle shuddered abnormally and failed to properly accelerate. The contact stated that the failure was present while driving approximately 30 MPH before self-correcting. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 62,000.

At around 44000 miles, the car shutters at low speeds while accelerating. It also seems to get worse the longer the car is being driven.

This is an additional complaint, among all the others for the faulty transmission and/or torque converter. 72K miles and have had it a month and the rough shifting at low speeds issue has reared it's head.

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 8F35 transmission has started shuddering and jerking around 30-45 MPH. It makes accelerating on roads and highways very dangerous as the vehicle is hard to control. The shuddering and jerking is getting progressively worse. Took the vehicle in for TSB 21-2389 which reportedly addresses the issue, but it did not resolve it. Now Ford is quoting me $10k to replace the transmission. There are thousands of Ford owners with both the 6F35 and 8F35 transmission running into the same issue and being quoted thousands of dollars for a faulty transmission. Please please please do something to stop this mispractice.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message "Coolant Overheated" was displayed, and the vehicle suddenly shut off. The contact stated that moments later, the vehicle was restarted and driven to the residence and examined by an independent mechanic. The contact was informed that the head gasket had blown. No further information was available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 134,000.

While driving my RPM's dropped to 0 and my car stalled out. I was able to drive home by doing this a few more times. Then white smoke starting coming out of the exhaust and it smelled like fireworks. No warning lights came on and my Ford Pass app did not indicate there was a problem. I had it towed to AAA then had to have it towed to dealership. They told me I needed a complete new engine. It is a 2019 Edge Titanium with 4 cylinder 2.0L ecoboost turbo with 38997 miles! They started it was due to coolant intrusion. The 2018 Edge has a recall for this exact issue but not the 2019!! $12691.17 to replace the engine!

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!!

The transmission has gone out at 111,000 miles. We had taken it to the dealer for it dying without warning and losing power like it wasn’t getting fuel. They put a sensor in it and said it was fixed. When we left the dealership it seemed fine but in a few days the whistling came back. Ford wants $9800.00 to fix the same problem in other 2019 but my VIN is not on the recall list. The Edge was jerking and shifting hard. Going forward when it was in reverse which are the same problems the recall on other 2019 Ford Edges. I am asking that you review this matter as I have found hundreds of people not being compensated by Ford’s unsafe design for the transmission in the 2019 Ford Edge vehicles. When I spoke to the dealer and Fords customer service, they basically said it was my problem not theirs. Ford wants $9,800.00 to repair it The transmission went out on June 1, 2025, after coming home from church.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at slow speeds on several occasions, the vehicle started shuddering, and the RPM fluctuated while shifting gear. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the spark plugs, and the ignition coils needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unavailable.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle hesitated and shuddered violently before accelerating. The contact stated that there were no warning lights illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer and was advised that an anti-shudder additive was added to the transmission; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the failure also occurred after the vehicle was stopped and the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

I went to back up, and the screen is either pitch black, or very distorted. It happens frequently

Torque converter Transmission! The whole car shudders when going from 10mph to 25/30mph. Shudder/shaking while accelerating Low mileage @ 67k miles

Vehicle has 85K miles and shudders at 10-30 mph. Powertrain malfunction/Reduced Power warning light comes and goes randomly. Recently got Service Engine Warning stating torque converter clutch failed to apply. Diagnostic ran stating torque converter solenoid needs to be replaced. Have seen other owners with same make/model that have same issue or have had complete transmission failure or replacement.

Transmission/Torque converter is failing. The vehicle shudders at low speeds, it struggles to reach the speeds it needs making it hard to follow the flow of traffic or pull out into the road after coming to a stop. Brought the car in to a Ford dealership where they confirmed the issue, tried module reprogramming and tested again and confirmed it still was not fixed. There were no warning messages, the shuddering was first felt in mid to late May 2025, called on June 3rd 2025 to schedule an appointment with the Ford dealership, services performed on 6/18/25 and 6/19/25. Ford now stating the entire transmission needs to be replaced, the car is 6 years old with 75k miles.

My car had issues like harsh/hard shifting, jerking, hesitation, and a "shuddering" sensation, often occurring at low speeds, I took it to the dealer several times for this issue, because the engine light keeps coming on, back in May 2025 they said they did a valve replacement that should fix the issue, yet the problem persisted, i took it back to the dealer and they said nothing wrong with it (not generating any error codes). Now again, the engine light came back, but this time while out of warranty, they are telling me it is complete transmission failure and are quoting me 12000 to replace it

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifted. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the torque converter had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Transmission is sluggish, seems to be slipping starting off up to 25 mpg or so. Ford dealer says the torque converter is bad and recommends a complete transmission replacement

My torque converter needs replaced and my car could have transmission failure any time. The part is on back order. There are many people experiencing the same issue I am with the same transmission. It has been confirmed by a dealer.

My 2019 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine began experiencing a misfire, loss of power, and white smoke from the exhaust. No engine light was on when it started and the car has less tan 46K miles. I had the car towed to a certified mechanic and he confirmed that coolant is leaking into my cylinders, which matches the issue described in Ford TSB 19-2346. This appears to be a widespread manufacturing defect affecting many vehicles with this engine. The presence of coolant in the combustion chamber caused catastrophic engine failure and poses a safety risk due to sudden loss of power while driving. I have been told that to fix the issue I need to replace the whole engine. Repair costs are estimated at $10,600 for an engine replacement at a local repair shop. I would expect it to be even higher from a Ford dealer. Ford has acknowledged this defect in a TSB 19-2346, but no recall has been issued. I am submitting this complaint so NHTSA is aware of the defect and its safety implications. I urge NHTSA to investigate this issue and require Ford to take responsibility.

The Torque Converter has gone bad in my 2019 Ford Edge with only 78k miles on it. After doing some research, discussing with 3 different mechanics (a dealer and 2 private transmission mechanics) it is a known issue that the torque converters go bad on these vehicles.

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.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, upon reentering the vehicle, the seat belt remained locked. The contact was unable to release the seat belt. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 99,563.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge equipped with Bridgestone Tires, Tire Line: Alenza Ultra A/S, Tire Size, 245/60/R18, DOT Number: AW283AAUl. The contact stated that while making a left or right turn, the contact heard an abnormal popping sound. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the tires had dry rotted and were cracking. In addition, the contact was informed that the failure caused the tires to slip and skid on the road surface while turning left or right. The contact was advised that the tires needed to be replaced. The tires were purchased from Cosco in October 2022. The mileage guarantee for the tires was 80,000. Cosco was contacted and made aware of the failure; however, the contact was informed that a partial refund would be prorated for the tires. The contact was informed that if the first option was not accepted, the tires could be replaced with a different brand, and the contact would be responsible for the remaining balance after the partial refund. The contact declined both offers. The contact stated that he had been sold defective tires and should be fully refunded. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 80,000, and the tire failure mileage was 40,000.

2019 Ford Edge 67K miles. A few months ago experienced 'hesitation" & some jerking once accelerated. It would continue until around 40 mph. Took to dealer, determined initially it was the Purge Valve. This was repaired; however, rec'd a call that torque converter locking & slipping. The fluid has metal parts. They said there was damage to the transmission. They didn't recommend repairing because the same issue will happen. A new transmission in process of being done. Been in service dept. since 8/11/25. Not finished with repairs yet. Found out via search that this issue is common with this year of vehicle & mileage & owners suggest filing a complaint. The warranty has expired & cost of repair is very expensive. Search also seems to have other model years having the same issue.

The transmission has consistently been stuttering and slipping. It’s most notable at low speeds accelerating from 0 to 30, 40mph. Around 2-3k rpms it stutters every day. This have been going on since about 90,000 miles.

The ADAS system has caused erratic and extremely unsafe behavior on multiple occasions. This behavior includes the car slamming on the brakes at high snd low speeds on clear sections of roadway in what appears to be attempts to avoid a shadow or imaginary object in the road. The car has also swerved to avoid a shadow on a tree lined street. Most recently this automatic emergency braking occurred at 70 mph on an interstate with following traffic behind the vehicle nearly causing a high speed rear end accident. On the same trip, the lane keeping assist guided the vehicle beyond the striping toward the road edge and has attempted to have the car change planes while traversing across a crossover for an intersecting road. Regaining control of the vehicle in all of these incidents has required aggressive actions on the part of the Driver to resist/mitigate the braking or steering decisions of the car. The car was purchased with 89k miles on it 5 months ago. The vehicle has not yet been taken to dealer to report or investigate this issue which has also occurred with our 2020 Ford Explorer.

While driving on the highway my Ford Edge starting shuttering/sputtering when I gave the vehicle gas. I went to the car dealer and they recommended changing the spark plugs. The car still sputtered and started getting worst when ever I gave the vehicle gas. Even at 30 - 40 mph the car sputtered. I took the car to the dealership today, April 9, 2025 and was told there was an issue with the "Torque Converter". I googled this and found a Ford Forum and found other people having the same issue. Some and issue with the cost of repair, some could not find the part, some with concerns of why no recall, and some with concerns getting issue fixed and it breaking down again. I ask that you investigate this issue, request a recall, and a secondary insurance if it breaks again after getting repaired.

Last year I paid $2000 to fix an Exhaust Gas Recirculation Cooler. There is a current TSB on this issue. The car overheated. They claim it’s not covered under the drive train warranty. Now a year later, my torque converter is bad and they are quoting me $4000 to fix. This is a 2019 model year with 61,000 miles. Im certain that one problem led to the other. They refused to fix the EGR cooler under warranty because i was one month over the 5 years, even though we purchased it in July - their warranty starts when the car hits the dealers lot.

During normal driving conditions in stop and go traffic the engine coolant over-temperature warning message displayed on the dashboard. Also, for a couple days prior to this incident, the vehicle exhibited hesitation when attempting to accelerate, and the engine was very close to stalling multiple times. There wear no other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The vehicle was towed to a local Ford dealership, where it was confirmed the issue was related to existing TSB 20-2234 (2.0L EcoBoost - Illuminated MIL With Various DTCs And/Or Low Coolant Level, White Smoke From Tailpipe And/Or External Coolant Leak), and repairs were completed.

Purchased a 2019 Ford Edge that now has 62,000 miles. In April of 2025, the transmission started to stutter/slipping, shifting rough, and hesitate between 20 and 40 mph. Our car was not part of the Ford recall. Ford should repair this issue without charge.

Transmission is jerking and bucking at low speeds

Fuel filter assembly problem. This is a lifetime warranty item on my 2019 for edge which there is a problem with it bucking and jerking at low speed.

I have had the high-pressure fuel pump fail on me three times in less than 10,000 miles. This causes the motor to shut down, crank no start and I’ve also had it blow the fuel pump off the top of the motor and dump the oil on the highway on the windshield all over the car, creating a severe crash hazard on these events

My vehicle has 78000 miles on it and needs a new transmission

6 months and 8000 miles over 5 yr 60000 mile warranty low speed shudder. Torque converter replaced $4000 repair

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that while in reverse(R), the back over prevention camera intermittently displayed a blank image on the screen. The contact notified the independent mechanic where the vehicle was purchased about the failure. The contact was advised that the vehicle could be serviced there under warranty. Despite the warranty, the contact was unable to bring the vehicle to the mechanic and the warranty expired. The manufacturer was then notified of the failure and the contact was referred to a dealer to schedule an appointment. The contact was also referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

My car started jerking when I drive and it would stall. I went to the dealership and at first they stated that it was probably nothing. They told me I can leave it with them but it would take 2 weeks to be assessed. I was responsible for my own rental car during this "assessment period". After the assessment they determined it was the transmission and it had to be totally rebuilt and it would take another 2 week. Despite fortunately being under power train warranty, the dealership would only cover part of the rental for another 2 weeks.
