Transmission is juttering and slipping significantly. Low power on take off and no check engine light on. Dealer states there is nothing wrong but clearly something is wrong with the Transmission.

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 bought a brand new 2019 Ford Edge with 11 miles. I have serviced it regularly with no issues. On 11/8/2022, I was sitting at a stop light and had the automatic start/stop mode engaged when another car rear ended me at high impact while they were on a cell phone. It did extensive rear damage. Including needing new exhaust system. When driving my vehicle to the Ford collision center, I noticed a jerking motion when going from stop or slow mode to start. They diagnosed it as a torque converter and stated I needed a new transmission. When filing with insurance it wasn’t covered because Ford stated they couldn’t confirm it was accident related. 1st… it coincided with accident and written documents support the filed complaint when brought straight from accident. Documentation also supports regular services and no issues as late as three weeks prior to accident. I inquired to rear impact causing gears to shift or slip while in the auto start/ stop mode? No one could answer my question. My car was at 70,000 miles at the time of the accident. I feel that this is something to look into and consider. This impact did in fact cause some issue with the transmission slipping and has something to do with the Siri start stop mode. No brand new regularly serviced vehicle should need a new transmission at 70,000 miles.

Crash

I was leaving for work and I got to the end of my road and realized I forgot my wallet at home. I turned around and came back to my house. I parked in my driveway where there is a wooden gate. I parked my car, turned it off. Got out of the car and it was rolling forward toward me and my gate. Luckily the gate stopped it from rolling and I jumped into it and put the emergency brake on first then I notice the knob was in P(Park). I was not injured but the front of my passenger bumper which hit my gate got scuffed up. They say at ford there is mp recall bit when I googled my scenerio it has happened to several other people and now ford has issued a recall.

2019 FORD EDGE ST - USING PARALLEL PARK ASSIST FEATURE, I FOLLOWED PROMPTS ON SCREEN, THE CAR BACKED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, DAMAGING THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER-PANEL OF THE EDGE. I HAD TO TAKE OVER AND BRAKE ONCE I REALIZED IT WAS ABOUT TO HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. NO ALERTS OR WARNINGS APPEARED ON THE SCREEN. THE SYSTEM SHOULDN'T HAVE CONTINUED WITH THE PARKING STEPS IF IT "LOST" ITS SENSORS ON THE SPACE AND SHOULD HAVE SENSED AN OBJECT IN THE PATH. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES AROUND 25-30 MPH. NEARLY STALLS BEFORE SHIFTING INTO GEAR AND ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME DRIVING IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC, SLOW ACCELERATING (NOT PUTTING PEDAL TO THE FLOOR), AND DRIVING CITY STREETS. THICK ICE/CONDENSATION BUILDS UP ON THE INTERIOR SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE IN A COLD CLIMATE. MUST BE DRIED WITH A TOWEL (TOWEL WILL BE SOAKED FROM THE AMOUNT OF WATER BUILD-UP) BEFORE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN. DEFROST DOES NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE.

Safety Complaint – 2019 Ford Edge Transmission and Engine Shutdown Issues To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint to report ongoing safety-related defects with my 2019 Ford Edge, which I purchased new. At 30,000 miles, the auto on/off stopped working and was not fixed. After approximately 50,000 miles, the vehicle began shutting off after refueling. At 68,000 miles, the transmission started shuddering during acceleration. There was no warning light, I just noticed that something was wrong. This behavior is extremely concerning, as it creates a risk of sudden loss of power while driving and could result in an accident. Ford is aware of these issues but has not issued a recall. I paid to have the torque converter replaced; however, the same transmission problem has returned. Ford has declined to provide further assistance. Additionally, the check engine light is now illuminated, which Ford attributes to a software issue. Despite multiple repair attempts and clear safety concerns, these problems remain unresolved. I respectfully request that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration review this matter, as the defects appear to be systemic and pose a potential risk to drivers. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Our torque converter has gone out on our vehicle. It has been meticulously maintained with fluid changes and every service when needed at mileage intervals. It started showing symptoms at 63k miles which is unacceptable for a transmission to start dying already. Looking online lots of other drivers have the same issue but ford refuses to acknowledge this transmission sucks and wants us to cover their incompetence. Would never buy another ford again.

I was driving and white smoke started coming out of my exhaust. The vehicle was idling erratically. I pulled over and took it to the side of the road. Ended up taking it to the dealership, they confirmed it needs a new engine because of coolant intrusion. This is a known issue to the dealership and public knowledge that the 2019 Ford Edge 2.0 ecoboost engines have this defect . They quoted me $15,000 to replace the engine.

When I had accelerated to pass a vehicle, the car acted as though it had been flooded with fuel, but then wasn’t getting enough fuel. It was shuttering/shaking and then eventually it completely shut down in the middle of traffic. I was in the left lane. The car would not start. I could not get it out of park to be able to get it off the road, causing a traffic delay and safety hazard to me and other cars on the road. This was during 5 o’clock traffic on a very busy road.

Car shudders, hesitates and feels like it is going to stall at lower speeds. Vehicle has 39500 miles on it. Taken to local dealership and it was diagnosed with needing the Torque Converter replaced. This seems to be an ongoing issue with this component and should be a recall
