The vehicle would not accelerate and caused my to bump into a wall. The vehicle is spluttering and the interior filled with chemical smoke caused by a coolant leak and it burning by the motor. the 1.5L vehicles are under an extended warrenty because of the EGR cooler malfunctioning. There was zero coolant in the car. The car illuminated malfunction indicator said powertrain malfunction. My car has 62000 miles on it and is no longer covered by warrenty

I, as well as MANY other ford edge owners are having to spend thousands to replace the torque converter that is KNOWN for giving up at any point after 85k miles. For the last 6 months my car has suddered hard when accelerating usually between 30 and 50 mph. No lights come on. No codes have been able to be pulled. After 6 months, I leave my house for work and my engine light immediately comes on stating the car is having powertrain issues leaning towards the torque converter. The shuddering has been an ongoing issue and no one has been able to diagnose it until now. Now I will have to pay thousands just to get this fixed.

the transmission is faulty. Shudders at low speed. $4500 to fix at the dealer. Less than 100k miles on it. We have never had a car with transmission problems and looking at message boards we are not alone. The service advisor at the dealership also told us they have a lot of transmission repairs in line to do. Seems like this vehicle should have been recalled.

At 45,494 miles, the vehicle exhibited rough idle at full stop. Further identified white smoke from the exhaust and a burning smell. No warning light displayed. Had the vehicle towed to a Ford dealership for diagnostics. Diagnostics didn't identify any error codes and there are still no warning lights. The diagnosis indicates coolant intrusion from a leaking head gasket into all cylinders. The recommended resolution is an engine replacement. This vehicle is only 8 months out of the 60 month 50,000 mile power train warranty.

Transmission would often shutter and slip when first driving. Between 30-45 mph is when it was most noticeable, and later would do it at higher speeds. Caused very apparent hesitation when accelerating. Took it to the dealership, was told it was the torque converter. After digging around online it seems other owners are having issues at relatively low mileage, and often times more than once, or are told to completely replace the transmission.

I took my 2019 Ford Edge Titanium in for an oil change and tire rotation. Ford would not do a tire rotation because of the swollen lug nuts. What? 5000 miles earlier I brought the vehicle in, and Nothing was said about swollen lug nuts at that time. I was told that I would have to purchase 20 new ones for 200.00. I could purchase the Ford brand or an aftermarket brand. There is no guarantee that the lug nuts may not have to be purchased again because of this issue. If this is a true safety issue, this is on you, Ford! Keep your customers safe and have a RECALL on lug nuts and not make me pay for your mistake!

While driving on a 65 mph road the car quit accelerating and the speed dropped quickly. This unexpected change in speed experienced by a young driver almost caused her to be rear ended and others to have an accident swerving around her.

We purchased a 2019 Ford Edge Titanium from Car Max. It is 5 years old with only 60k miles. While idling, the engine was bogging and running rough. In addition, a foul smell like firework smoke was coming from the vents. After bringing it to a repair pal certified mechanic, they diagnosed that coolant was leaking into cylinder 2, and we would need a new engine to rectify the issue. The 2019 Ford Edge we purchased was assemble in October 2018, as the 5 year warranty expired in October of 2023. It is experiencing the EXACT SAME problem as all earlier models that were part of the Ford recall.

Replaced it, I drove the car off lot after 3 weeks in the shop. Still felt hesitancy. Took it back, Trans tech said it was the valve body. Replaced, but still hesitating. Tech said fluid may have “particles” in trans fluid. Flushed. Still not driving smoothly per service manager My 2019 Edge has been in Ford dealership since 5/6/24. It is now 7/29/24.

I purchased vehicle 4/11/2023 with 41,000 miles. I started to experience concerns with acceleration periodically and clunking in the rear end prior to warranty ending, ford dealership inspector stated that they didn’t find anything. After 80, 000 miles it occurred more often, shuttering between 2-3rmps. Lack of ability to accelerate was a safety concern. A different Ford Dealership inspector reported torque converter clutch stuck open and circuit.Fluid drained indicating debris and heavy metallic and dark, prior to recommended ford manual service.

Detailed account: After my morning commute, the car started sounding like it was idleing hard with a strange smell. It didn't smell like buring oil or plastic/rubber. Midday, I went to a store 1/2 mile from my work. There was little noticable sound upon starting. I pulled into the parking lot, when I shifted into reverse to park, the car shut off. There were no warning lights on the dash. I shifted to park, then turned the car back on and parked. There was smoke coming from one of the tail pipes that lasted several minutes after shut-off. After 30 min, I turned on the car and shifted into reverse to leave the parking spot. The car shut off and the brakes were not responsive as rolled slightly down an incline. Again no warning lights, so I returned to my workplace and finished my day. We contacted a mechanic and scheduled an appointment as soon as they could get us in. Following the workday, I began the drive to my child's school (approx 3 miles city). Within 1 mile, the check engine light came on and the car shut off when I came to a complete stop at a light. I shifted to park then turned it back on when the light turned green. It shut off again when someone entered my lane and I had to come to a complete stop. Once again turned back on, and limped it to my son's school because I had to get to my child before the end of pickup time (my husband would not have made it in time if I had pulled over where I was). I tried to avoid making a complete stop but had to proceed through two 4 way stops, when the vehicle shut off again. I made it to the school where I could safely leave it and wait for it to be towed. Malfunction: Engine shut-off, lack of powered brack due to car shutting off Safety Risk: extended stopping time in the middle of the road due to time needed to turn car back on Problem has been confirmed by mechanic shop, internet research, and a friend in Ford service department as known issue (design flaw) of corrosion due to coolant intrusion. No recall.

There is transmission issues with shift i between upshifting especially at lower speeds. looking this up seems to be an inherent problem with Ford 8 spd transmissions

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the coolant malfunction warning light illuminated, and the vehicle started shaking uncontrollably.

The contact called the dealer and was informed to bring the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, and it was confirmed that the head gasket was blown.

In June of 2023 the car was sputtering in 2-3 gear. It went in to replace the torque converter. This was replaced and 10 months later the transmission goes out. I believe that the transmission when out due to the torque converter going out. At the time of the torque converter was replaced the car was still under warranty. I believe Ford is responsible as regularly scheduled maintenance was performed per there maintenance schedule, and at their dealership.
