2019 ford edge sel, while accelerating the vehicle jerks, causing vehicle to slowly accelerate. According to multiple ford dealerships, multiple transmission shops, and ford motor company themselves, there was a manufacturing problem with the welds on the torque converter, which caused the torque converter to come apart and emit metal shavings into the fluid which ended up in the transmission causing it to jerk and hesitate. This I was told was only a problem with the 2019-2021 ford edge sel.

At approximately 61,000 miles, car would hesitate and sputter while driving. No warning lights appeared on dashboard to indicate any issues. I took the car Ford for inspection, and was told by Ford that I needed a new torque convertor. I had the dealership complete repairs at a considerable cost.

My car has issues with bucking and other issues with the transmission slipping and clutch slipping in the torque converter

We purchased our 2019 Ford Edge Titanium in March of 2022 with 71K miles on it from a local used car dealer. The vehicle was jerky in the lower speeds (up to 40 mph) - best described as if the transmission did not know what gears to go in, so it would jump back and forth, causing uncontrollable hesitations and accelerations - jumping back and forth between gears. The dealer said this was normal for the newer 10 speed transmissions and that it had to learn each new driver. At that time, there weren't reported issues online about these transmissions, so I accepted the dealers explanation as normal. The jerking and jumping between gears got worse and at 91K miles, the vehicle even stopped going in reverse, which made it even more dangerous. We replaced the transmission with another used transmission (believe 18K miles on it) and that one was even worse with the jerkiness and jumping back and forth, so we replaced it with another used transmission (believe 45K miles on it) which is now having the exact same issues. We have 95K miles on our vehicle and are now needing a 3rd transmission replacement. No safety warning lights came up. While it's a big inconvenience with the vehicle being constantly in repair, the bigger issue is the incredible safety issue with the hesitations and jumping in and out of gears, reverse not working, etc. that can put multiple people's lives in danger when the vehicle is not reacting and performing without hesitation. We have had close calls on crashes due to the transmission hesitations and jerky gear shifting and it distracts us from paying attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians. We encourage anyone from NHTSA to contact us to talk through it, inspect the vehicle, and/or talk with our repair shop about these now common faulty transmissions. If bodily injury occurs due to known faulty transmissions, I would file a significant product liability lawsuit against Ford and the transmission manufacturer for their negligence.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at approximately 20 MPH, he observed smoke coming from the exhaust pipe with an abnormal burning odor. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that coolant intrusion had caused the engine to become blown and that the long block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage is 60,223.

Upon purchasing the vehicle from a used car dealer, within the first week the car had to go to the mechanic. There was shuddering/buck in the acceleration of the car. The vehicle was not performing like it was supposed to . Acceleration was low while rpm’s ran high. The dealer mechanic serviced the transmission 3 separate times with over a month of being in the shop. Just recently I took my vehicle to ford and was notified that the transmission was slipping in 3rd and fifth gears. PERFORM TEARDOWN ON TRANSMISSION. RECOMMEND TORQUE CONVERTER.

The total repair cost out of pocket after warranty covers partial is 5300 dollars. I don’t have that kind of money and believe my vehicle could possibly be affected by recall.

I took my vehicle in for oil change and tire rotation and was told that the tire rotation could not be done due to “swelled lug nuts”.

The car jerks forward when gas pedal is lightly pressed up to 40mph. I'm continually almost hitting cars in traffic even when staying a good distance away. At first it will not go and then all of a sudden jerks. There is a TSB ion the transmission. It does a buck / shudder/jerk

The vehicle bucks and hesitates when shifting into and out of lower gears. Likely the torque converter. Merging into a busy highway and attempting to accelerate but not actually gaining speed leaves you as a sitting duck to be hit by another driver. Likewise, coming to a stop at a traffic light is jerky and sudden instead of gradual and smooth, opening the door to potentially being rear-ended

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 15 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and started jerking violently. The vehicle was pulled into a parking space and inspected. The vehicle was restarted but the transmission failed to shift as needed for the vehicle to accelerate as intended. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

My vehicle shudders, bucks, and jerk switching gears at slow speed.

Transmission Components Failing. Ford said Torque Converter and Valve Body Failing Car shuddering when accelerating and gear change Been reported by dealer No warning lights or signals given

My car seemed like it was losing power as I was driving many times - I had concerns and took it in and they mentioned I either needed an entire transmission or the torque converter part needed to be replaced. There are MANY of the Ford Edges ranging in years close to mine that have this recall; however mine is not included. When I spoke with Ford they mentioned they wouldn't pay for it, but I fear it's a safety concern for myself and many others from my research in this predicament. This is thousands of dollars that I am not able to afford and it seems like a 5 year old car shouldn't need a new transmission. It definitely feels unsafe and unjust.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle briefly jerked before returning to normal functionality. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the torque converter, requiring the torque converter to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 100,000.

My cars rpm's started randomly jumping which would coincide with a slight jerking feeling when the car shifted gears. First I was told it was my spark plugs and then the coil packs. When both of those were changed and the problem persisted they ran multiple diagnostic tests and came up with nothing. Then my car started to shudder when I put gas in it and then the radio screen and door locks would intermittently stop working and again they found no error codes. Then my pre-collision warning system started going off when there are no cars even remotely near. The same for my blind spot indicators. They just go off for no reason. Now after months of issues and zero error codes, they say it's the transmission failing and it will cost me $6,000 to fix. That's assuming that is actually the problem.

My vehicle is at 72,000 miles and has issues with bucking, shuttering, and jerking at lower speeds. Was told I would need a new torque converter or possibly new transmission. I have no warning lights. The jerking has become more persistent in the last 3 months.

Car buck and jerks, unexpected low speed and sometimes hi speed, never know what is going to happen when you hit the gas or brake. Ford wants to replace transmission. Car has 55,500 miles, this should be a known defect. Ford refuses to fix under any warranty, This is a very dangerous defect. I have seen many people complain with this same defect.

Transmission needs repaired/replaced and car doesn't even have 100,000 miles. It appears to be a known issue and Ford is doing nothing about it

The car began sputtering and shaking between 20-30 miles and 60-80 miles December 2023 around 65.000 miles. After taking it to a local repair shop and trying a fuel system flush, changing spark plugs and ignition coil, it was determined that the transmission failed. I took it to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and was once again told that the transmission needed to replaced. I was also told that I should stop driving it because it could fail while driving. I bought the car brand new, took it to the dealer for all the recommended maintenance, and the transmission needs to be replaced on a four year old car with only 66,000 miles on it. The only warning was the sputtering whild driving. I called Ford and was told there was nothing they could do about it. I was told that when I fixed it to hold on to my receipt in the event Ford issues a recall.

My transmission went out and the dealership charges 8,800 to repair. I don't have that kind of money. My car has less than 100,000 and i can't believe my transmission went out. This is un heard of. I just want to see what can be done about this

I purchased a 2019 Ford Edge (ecoboost) with 49,000 miles. At approximately 55,000 miles the transmission began shifting erratically, cause the vehicle to lurch and then arbitrarily stop. I had the transmission fluid drained and replaced and the transmission performance appeared to improve for approximately 6,000 miles. The erratic shifting, lurching and stopping returned. This behavior placed myself and my passengers at extreme risk as the arbitrary changes in speed (and stopping) would occur without notice, while driving in traffic. I brought the car to my mechanic (who is a recently retired Ford service manager). He was able to confirm the problem and directed me to a transmission mechanic with expertise in Ford transmissions. He inspected the transmission and confirmed several defective components in the transmission. He further indicated that after-market upgraded parts have been produced as a result of the prevalence of this issue. The mechanic indicated that the transmission must be rebuilt. No warning lamps were present until the vehicle went into a constant state of erratic shifting, lurching and stopping.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated upon the depression of the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated.

The Drivers side seat belt gets stuck and is impossible to get out. It started out intermitten but has now gotten to the point where we have to driver without a seatbelt as it will not come out no matter what you do. This is a huge safety hazard. I am now getting a quote to get this fixed.

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.

I was driving on the freeway when an engine overheating warning light came on. I exited the freeway at the nearest exit and my vehicle lost power and white smoke was coming from the exhaust. My vehicle was towed to the nearest Ford dealership. Upon inspection, they discovered coolant was leaking into the exhaust and they repaired it pursuant to TSB 20-2234. This is a known issue to Ford as they have had many complaints of this same issue with all of the Ford models with the Ecoboost engine. They have offered full coverage for repairs of other models but not my vehicle. This issue could have caused a vehicle fire.

Box 6248 Dearborn, MI 48126 We've purchased several used Fords growing up and loved them and found them to be reliable like your Commercials and Mission Statements claims: Ford Motor Company's mission statement is "to help build a better world where people can move freely and pursue their dreams". The company's core values are "put people first", "do the right thing", "create tomorrow", "play to win", "be curious", "built Ford tough", and "one Ford". So we decided to purchase our very first BRAND NEW Ford Edge vehicle on [XXX] at Ford Auto Nation, not knowing we were sold a lemon. We do all necessary maintenance to all vehicles to avoid costly expenses. We started noticing some shuddering and took the vehicle to FORD but they wanted $200 for diagnosis and would not apply to repairs. Upon taking the vehicle to 2 local Auto Repair Shops on 12/2023 to 01/2024 they used the computerized diagnostic tool/On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system and could not collect any data from sensors and stating Zero Trouble Codes (DTCs) were generated. 1 mechanic recommended we change spark plugs and do other maintenance for $350 that would be used for later repairs Unfortunately issue remains. They wanted to hold on to the car for another week to do further inspections. Instead, I chose to take to FORD. [XXX] FORD charges $200 for Diagnose (Receipt Attached) and does not apply to the repairs. After the 1st week without any status update via several texts and calls, and not getting any updates.

CEL light came on while at a stop light. Called my Ford dealership while I was at the light and made an appointment to bring my car in. Light went off after a couple of stops but I still took my car in as it had started to idle a little rough like it might want to stall. At first, service thought just new spark plugs were needed, but after installing them they noticed white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. Upon further inspection they saw there was coolant leaking into the engine through the head gasket and I needed either a new head gasket or a new engine. Car had 79724 mile on it, always been service on time at the Ford dealership, had just had it serviced November 8th and had them do the fuel induction service that they recommended. The car could have caught on fire, or stalled out while I was driving it. It is a good thing I took it in even though the CEL had gone off. This appears to be a known problem with the Ford Eco Boost engines and I see numerous complaints for this exact problem. I have had no accidents in this car and always serviced it at Ford.

When decelerating on an interstate offramp we felt/heard a hard down shift. When we accelerated form a dead stop there was a scraping sound. Reaching a parking lot we attempted to shift to park at which time we received a short message, the shift knob vibrated and the vehicle would not shift to park. After a second attempt the vehicle did shift and I was able to turn it off. After calling the Dealer we attempted to return home (<5 miles), the transmission would not shift into park. After turning the vehicle off and back on it would and we were able to drive home with the scraping sound noted in low gear. Vehicle was towed to dealer where it was determined the transmission (8F35) had free metal in it (no source determination) indicating a catastrophic failure and replacement was required. I am concerned that if such a failure occurred at high-speed loss of control could result in a serious accident with property damage and physical injury from a collision. The vehicle had under 100,000 so the transmission should not have failed in this time period. Cost of repair was $8,584. It is my understanding this is a new model (8F35) transmission and research identifies other incidences of the transmission failing between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. When asked, Ford refuses to admit there is any design flaw in the transmission or offer corrective action.
