NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2019 Ford Edge. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
Last year, the 2.0 ecoboost had a coolant intrusion. After 2 times ford dealer talking with someone in company, the repacerd egr valve, egr cooler and finally had a long block motor installed. Then a little while later had to replace transmission, then the steering box. My extended warranty covered this but it ran out at the end of May. I think I should be compensated either by extended warranty or money. Any of those problems could have resulted in an accident. First took to Lynn layton ford in decatur, took back a couple of weeks and could not get to it, took to eddie pruitt ford in hartselle, where they took care of the problems.
The contact’s wife owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked when the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle lost power. The check engine, power train, and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the wastegate was stuck closed in the turbocharger valve, and the turbocharger valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred four months later while driving at an undisclosed speed. The contact stated that during the failure, the vehicle lost power and failed to accelerate as intended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic again where it was diagnosed that the wastegate was stuck closed again, and turbo turbocharger valve needed to be replaced. On another occasion, the contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, his wife observed white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The contact stated that his wife then observed that the EGR and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The message "Engine Overheating” was displayed. The vehicle was steered off the highway and restarted three times after cooling down and was taken back to the same independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the EGR valve had failed, the coolant level was low, and there was coolant passing through the exhaust EGR coolant system and had leaked into the exhaust system. The contact was informed that the EGR system needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,654.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact noticed that the engine coolant was quickly depleted. There was no warning light illuminated. The failure persisted and the vehicle shuddered while idling with heavy white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was discovered that the long block was damaged. A dealer was notified of the failure and the contact scheduled an appointment for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.
Transmission is "bucking and jerking" at low speeds and between 2nd and third gear.... its worse when travelling under 35mph
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle experienced a loss of motive power. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the coolant had leaked into the cylinders, and the engine long block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 43,000.
Vehicle began shuddering when accelerating from approx. 20 mph to 50 mph several months ago. It was not always consistent at first, but steadily began worsening. Firestone was unable to diagnose. We though maybe dirty fuel system, but fuel injector cleaner made no difference. Took it to Ford dealer and diagnosed as failing torque converter. Upon further research determined that Ford had issued recalls for other models and years but not ours for this part, but I found numerous reports in discussion forums online of this same part failing in our year and model. Part is currently backordered with no ETA and fortunately we have 1 month and approx. 2000 mi remaining of powertrain warranty so it will be covered. However, Ford cannot provide ETA on the part and I have concerns of manufacturing quality for the replacement part we are awaiting as well as concerns for other drivers with the same vehicle. I called Ford customer service and they advised to submit a report to NHTSA and the only way for me to formally submit a complaint directly to Ford is by snail mail to a PO Box. So, I'm submitting this report in hopes an investigation will be opened about this issue and pressure will be applied to Ford to boost inventory of this critical part and begin a recall process.
Started experiencing transmission problems including harsh shifting, shuttering, lurching, hesitating, or slowing down when shifting gears at about 80,000 miles. Put myself and child in danger on the freeway. Took the vehicle into the ford dealership repair shop and they are reporting that I need a new transmission. I bought an extended warranty and their rep will be coming out to inspect this week. No warning lights came on.
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 Edge loses power and jerks and shudders during accelerations. This can major issues when trying to merge
The car jerks forward. When gas is initially applied nothing happens then jerks. The car is dangerous when turning while traffic is traveling towards you. It doesn't engage immediately and I'm afraid of going right in front of car. No date specific. It happens at 0 to 40mph
The mechanic that inspected the car after it broke down said that the EcoBoost 2.0 has an issue that the engine cracks or something like that allowing coolant or whatnot to get into the spark plugs. I think I explained that. The car now needs an engine. With 83000 miles. I’m sure this could cause a fire.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle downshifted without a warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle jerked before slamming into gear. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics. However, no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the torque converter had failed. The vehicle has not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The contact associated the failure to manufacturer recall number: 20S49. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
The ford dealer states the problem is in the slip clutch converter. As I begin driving the vehicle it slips, perks, tac goes up and down, engages and is engages up and down constantly. It never throws a code on this and it is a danger for fear of it quitting in the middle of the hwy. The jerking, slipping, kicking out of and into gear constantly. With no code being thrown on it. It shows no recalls on our car but others it dies. Ford wants us to pay 3,400.00 dollars to fix it when it is a manufacturers problem. We don't have that kind of money. As I read the 296 complaints on the ford edge they are about the same problem and this issue needs to be addressed and paid for by ford. It affects the gas mileage also. It is available for jnspection.All maintenance has been done on vehicle when needed. It affects me, my passengers and other people around me because it can cause pile up and hurt lot of people. The problem has been reproduced at ford. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure and it first started about 8 months ago. Was reported to Ford for the problem and nothing was done about it. It was brought into the Ford Dealership and they confirmed it was the clutch slip converter is what it was. Never heard of such. It is getting worse and worse With the slipping and perking and things. What do we do. Ford needs to stand behind their product as I have been a Ford man all my life and now this. I am thinking long and hard about going to chevy.
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.

Failing torque converter and valve body at approx. 91,000 miles and just under 5 years old. When accelerating (at any speed), the vehicle chugs and struggles to speed up. No warning lights or check engine lights came on. Ford initially diagnosed the problem and wanted to replace JUST the torque converter and valve body. Upon bringing it to dedicated transmission shop it was confirmed the torque converter and valve body are failing. It is not yet confirmed if there is any other work needed as they are checking if Ford will even sell them parts to fix the issue. I was told this has become a known and common occurrence with this specific model of transmission, and there is not even a full remedy of the issue with repair, as they won't replace any other parts in the transmission when the torque converter and valve body are replaced - leading to repeat repairs of the same transmission.
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.
At approximately 55,000 miles the car started to experience transmission bucking/jerking at the lower range of the transmission gears. The car jerks back and forth until it reaches a speed of 45-50 mph. Ford has recognized the issue in this model and has issued several technical/service bulletins to the dealers including Service Bulletin 21-2081 in March 2021. Their only solution is to reprogram the transmission. I had this service completed by a local Ford dealer in September 2024. Reprograming did not totally solve the issue. About a week ago the car start experiencing more severe bucking and the range expanded to the 15-50 mph. Car has 60,000 miles on it. Acceleration is affected during this.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and fastening the seat belt, the seat belt failed to retract as needed. The failure occurred with front driver’s and passenger’s sides seat belts. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the retracting mechanism had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.
At less than 60000 miles, the car began to shutter at lower speeds. It is the torque converter. Everyone that I have spoke with has the same issues.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and coming to a stop, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart; however, the vehicle tugged and jerked. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle responded as needed upon depressing the accelerator pedal harder. The contact was able to drive; however, the vehicle was tugging and jerking while driving. The contact stated while pulling into the parking lot of an independent mechanic, the contact saw smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. The mechanic diagnosed that the exhaust gas had mixed with the coolant system, causing the head gasket failure. The mechanic determined that the head gasket needed to be replaced. The dealer was notified of the failure. 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 approximately 57,624.
There is a shudder while driving and the rear parking system gives a warning and doesn’t work. Both issues have recalls in the same and other years of this vehicle but according to my vin there’s no recalls. I have received a recall report for my vehicle but my vin says no recalls
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.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 118,412.
See attached document for complaint.
Two separate instances where this vehicle (2019 Ford Edge Titanium) completely shut down. The first, unfortunately, was in traffic while navigating a rotary. The second less intense event was in while parking. Eventually, the vehicle did restart and we were able to get it home. This looks to be an extension of a problem Ford thought was fixed -- related to the cannister purge valve (front) remaining stuck open. I say this because a cheap scanner tool revealed code P0496, and we experienced one of the primary symptoms (rough start after filling gas tank).
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. In addition, the contact stated when the vehicle was started, the transmission was bucking. The contact stated that the failure was present when the vehicle was purchased. The contact stated in 2020, an unknown recall repair was completed for the Power Train; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, there were no fault codes displayed. The contact was informed that if there were no fault codes displayed, the vehicle could not be properly diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.
Transmission is acting up. Erratic shifts. Car stumbles as accelerating. Seems to be a lot of complaints about this. Only fix is a new transmission for a considerable amount of money.
The transmission failed - completely out of the blue, unexpectedly without warning.The vehicle has been maintained, oil changes on schedule, all recommended service work up to date. No issues whatsoever prior to this incident. While driving on interstate highway at 75 mph (posted speed limit = 75 mph) in traffic across three lanes, vehicle began shifting gears indiscriminately while engine was revving and simultaneously the vehicle was losing power. Driver changed lanes, put on flashers, pulled over to shoulder of highway. After pulling over, the warning light came on and message said, "shift sys fault," followed by a reference to see manual. We researched the messages using smart phones and looked in manual. We determined the vehicle needed service. After 15-20 min, we restarted the vehicle and drove 23-25 miles to auto shop. We parked the vehicle at the shop. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection. The independent service technician / owner investigated for 10 days consulting specialist, ran computer software updates for purpose of diagnosis, and determined the transmission needs replaced. He recommended taking the vehicle to the dealership to confirm. We scheduled an appointment at the local dealership, paid diagnostic fee, and received confirmation recommending new transmission. There were NO warning lamps, NO messages, NO indication of problems prior to failure. They first appeared on this drive. Our safety and the safety of others was at risk due to the high speed (our rate of speed and the rate of other vehicles around us at the time). In addition, the immediate loss of power without warning, the engine revving, gear shifting, loss of control etc. We were fortunate we were able to pull over safely, and to proceed at low speed with blinkers.
The torque converter went out at 96,000 miles. The car recently received a transmission fluid change at 72,000 miles. The car began to shake and shift very hard. When the car was parked it would not longer shift or go into neutral.
I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO MITCHELL SELIG FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A PROBLEM WITH COOLANT BURNING WHITE SMOKE OUT OF MY EXHAUST PIPES. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND THEY FOUND THE EGR COOLER LEAKING INTO THE EXHAUST CAUSING ENGINE MISFIRE AND WHITE SMOKE. WHEN I DISCOVERED THE SMOKE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR HAD STALLED TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC THAT COULD'VE RESULTED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. LUCKILY NO ONE HIT ME AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR. I HAD TO REFILL MY COOLANT MULTIPLE TIMES TO AVOID MY ENGINE CATCHING ON FIRE.
Was having some jerking and spudding when starting from a stop until getting above 30mph.No warnings or lights of any kind. Had a rough start one morning and the engine light came on. Took it to a Ford dealer and was told that coolant is leaking into #4 cylinder and we basically need a new engine. No warnings or anything prior to this one time and getting a health check on the Ford App about a Misfire. Miles 103,400
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while stopped at a stop sign the rear driver's side door window inadvertently shattered with no warning. The contact stated her child was located in her child's safety seat in the rear of the vehicle and sustained injury from the shattered glass. The contact stated her child had cuts on her left arm and leg and no medical attention was needed. A police report was not filed as nothing impacted the window. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure cause was not diagnosed and was advised to contact the insurance company. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The contact also stated that the manufacturer advised her to call NHTSA to file a complaint. The approximate failure mileage was 26,500.
Unable to engage and maintain 1st gear on any grade. The design of the rotary shifter eliminated the 1st from the gear shifter leaving only paddle shifting and Sport mode. While in Sport mode with paddle shifters engaged, the car automatically shifts to 2nd gear at 4mph and around 900-1000 rpm (just above idle). When trying to downshift, the gear just flashes, making me unable to downshift to first gear. This forces the frequent engaging of brakes at steep grades, leading to brake overheating and potential brake failure. The design is a safety issue. First gear is an absolute necessity in certain situations and Ford has disabled my ability to use it.
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.
TRANSMISSION FLUID FULL AND BLACK IN COLOR. TORQUE CONVERTER CAME APART WHICH RESULTED IN MATERIALS ON DIP STICK AND BAD SHUDDER SHIFTING ON THE 1-2 AND 2-3. DEALERSHIP WAS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REQUESTING ASSISTANCE WITH THE SHUDDERING ISSUE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THEY COULD FIX. EACH SERVICE LEVEL STATES THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE CHECKED, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE DIPSTICK THAT THEY DO NOT CHECK. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE AN ISSUE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP DID DIAGNOSE WITH THE CODE: 61439 TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDS REPLACING
I have a 2019 Ford Edge with about 68,000 miles on it that is having transmission issues. The dealer has said it needs a new torque converter. However, they cannot guarantee it will be covered by the warranty. I am [XXX], and cannot afford this if I end up having to pay for it!! After researching 2019 Ford Edge issues online, I see that there are MANY with the same issue, and that having it repaired does not fix the problem - it will happen again! If the transmission fails while I am driving it will be a huge safety risk for me and drivers around me. It is not shifting correctly, and causing me to not be able to speed up when necessary which puts me and others at risk. There are no warning or engine lights on at this time. This is a known problem and Ford should fix it!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
My car Continuously jerks while driving. It's like stuttering, I am afraid it will not pick up speed one day while driving and making turns. This is a scary and safety issue as I do not want to be in a position of making a turn and getting hit. I know that I am not the only one complaining about this issue. Please look into all complaints and rectify this problem. Thank you. Sincerely [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
This car was built in 2018 not 2029. Coolant is leaking into cylinder of engine. Can cause possible overheating and or engine fire and eventually engine failure. Not exactly sure when it started but its getting worse.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine maintenance and was offered a fuel injection cleaning. The contact assumed that the fuel injection cleaning might resolve the jerking failure; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V550000 (Power Train) and linked the failure to the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not under the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
My 2019 Ford Edge has 64,500 miles on it and the transmission needs replacing. Ford says that it will cost me $9K, but if I come up with $4500, they might help with the rest. I bought this vehicle just over a year ago and took it into a dealership with under 60K miles with the initial complaints. After a year of them looking at the computer system and making adjustments to that, they told me it needed a throttle body. I had a friend take it to another Ford dealership and they ran a diagnostic study on it right away - the transmission fluid has metal in it, it needs to be replaced. After telling the first dealership what we found, they said that it isn't covered under any warranty because when they finally found out what was wrong, it was over the 60K miles. Right now, I still have 5 years left on my loan and it sits in my driveway - UNABLE to drive it. And I don't have $4500! I do see that the transmissions have caused issues in these models, can I please get some help with getting mine fixed...? Again, I don't have the money to dish out to fix this myself and I will be making monthly payments on it for the next 5 years as it sits in my driveway!! I did get a hold of one lawyers office and they said that there might be a civil suit (?) brought up again Ford. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Upon starting vehicle has white smoke or steam out of both tailpipes, upon my inspection found radiator reservoir almost empty. Did not drive vehicle.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine light illuminated, and a code reader was used to determine that the coolant level was low. The coolant level was topped off; however, the failure returned as the temperature gauge indicated that the engine was overheating. Additionally, there was a heavy white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe upon starting the vehicle. The contact called the dealer and the manufacturer and was informed that the VIN was not under recall for the failure. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. Upon investigation, the contact determined that coolant intrusion into the engine had caused damages to the engine. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.
My transmission started to shudder with MPH under 40. I mentioned this to the Ford Dealership in Manhattan during an oil change but they said they found no transmission issues. My car just hit 61,800 miles, so the warranty is now over. The shudder started much worse in the past couple of days. I contact the dealership in regards to the Tech Service Bulletin on the NHTSA website from 3/18/2021. I mentioned how I noticed this and no one offered this option while the car was still under warranty. They said that solution will likely not fix the problem and I will need a full transmission replacement. How does Ford not know this is an incredibly common issue? There is no chance this car can maintain a speed or accelerate properly with the model years 2019-2021. This is a safety issue, not just a company taking advantage of consumers.
My 2019 Ford Edge is at 90,000 miles. The RPMs between 2-3 have been stuttering any time I try to accelerate up to 40 mph and the car has been jumping as if trying to reach the next RPM. I took it to a Ford Dealership and they stated that it was an internal failure in my transmission (cause unknown) and that the transmission would need to be replaced for $10K.
relatively new car, 77,000 miles, out of warranty. temperature warning light came on. Taken to dealer. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler was leaking coolant. no puddle or evidence of a leak was apparent in parking area. EGR was replaced three weeks ago. Check engine light came on. Dealer reset warning light. light returned during a vacation trip. upon return, white smoke was noticed from exhaust. Dealer diagnosed that evidence of coolant damage was present in two cylinders. Dealer recommended that Engine be replaced. Internet research revealed many discussions about EGR Coolers leaking engine coolant into the engine intake. It was also noted that other ford makes and models in the build date timeframe have had recalls concerning coolant leaking into the engine. No current recall on Ford Edges. Ford opened a case and is investigating further with the dealer service department.
