Power Train owner reports: Ford Edge years in the records

The records describe a possible crash, fire, injury, or loss of control.

“The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle hesitated and stalled while depressing the accelerator pedal. No warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled over to the right side of the road, turned the vehicle off, then turned the vehicle back on, and the vehicle began to work as intended. The contact mentioned she drove a couple of miles at 35 MPH, the contact had to pull over a total of four times, exited the vehicle, detached the battery twice, and the failure persisted. The contact mentioned that while attempting to retrieve items from her open trunk, the trunk abruptly closed, causing her to become trapped. The contact attempted to open the truck with the key fob; however, was unsuccessful and started yelling, causing a bystander to assist. The bystander was able to manually open the trunk in order to release the contact from the entrapment. The contact sustained scratches and was sore from the incident however did not receive medical attention. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the torque transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred to the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 100,264.”

“When accelerating at low speeds the transmission bucks and/or surges so that the car stutters. This is currently happening, two mechanics have checked and see no misfiring and there is no warning light showing but there is clearly some sort of issue with the transmission. This sounds very similar to a recall made in other Ford Edges, I am able to bring it in for inspection upon request. This constant jerking motion impacts safety of myself as the driver and my passengers as it's consistently changing the field of vision when it's pulsing and it is causing motion sickness on extended drives. This has started happening every time I drive and it is unavoidable.”

“The Torgue converted failed and is throwing metal into the transmission.”

“Our Edge titanium had been experiencing intermittant hesitation and shuttering on acceleration and decelleration for 3 or 4 weeks. The car has 105,000 miles on it. During this time frame the spark plugs were changed, the trans fluid was drained and replaced twice and an additive (Shutter fix) was put in. The shuttering and hesitation was becoming more frequent despited completing all of the reccomendations from a local mechanic. On XXX my wifte was diving home, when he slowed down to exit the hwy to enter the subdivision, the transmission just disengauged and an erro code appeared P07E6. (Stuck in Park) service soon. She had enough momentum to barely exit off [XXX], if there was on coming traffic she would have been a sitting duck. Se shut the car off and let it sit for a couple of minutes and the restarted it and headed the 2 blocks home. I Immediatly took it to the dealer. The got the code and said it indicated a Park Pawl failure. They said it must be sticking and the computer thought you were in park when you were driving so it shut things down. The dealer says he has had to replace several of these 8 speed transmissions at an out the door price of $11,000. He says if he can rebuild it, it might only be $7,500. Most mechanics in Spearfish say they have heard there are problems with the 8 speed transmission. I believe failing at 104,000 miles is a sign of a bad product. And this faulty Park Pawl is a safety hazzard that may get someone killed if it shuts down with on coming traffic.

“Recently, the car started shuddering at 25-45 mph. We took it to the Ford dealer for an evaluation and were told that the torque converter and transmission are very damaged. They both need to be replaced at a cost of $10,000. We have only 61500 miles on the car. Further research has indicated that if we were to keep driving it, it could result in sudden failure, loss of driving power and possibly loss of control”

“My wife was driving her 2019 Ford Edge Titanium when the transmission started to shudder and clunk. Then the car completely shutdown in the middle of a busy intersection. This transmission failure at such a low mileage (less than 70,000 miles) is unacceptable and the risk of losing control of the car poses a safety concern.”

“At about 60,000 miles my 2019 does edge started to shutter at 25mph and it progressively got worse now it’s doing it and 25,35,45,55,65 mph down the road(rpm is always bouncing around never consistent ). no check engine lights or the repair symbol are on the dash I’ve been doing a lot more research and I do believe it’s the torque converter failing.”

“Transmission began to jerk at about 40 mph. Dealership said I needed a new transmission. There was a warning light came on teice and disappeared after I shut the cat down and restarted it.”

“I purchased My 2019 ford edge Titanium in April 2021 with 12k miles on it. June 2023, I had to replace the torque converter at 52k miles. In March 2024, I replaced the purge valve. January 2026, I started having shuddering at takeoff and a jerk when shifting from park to reverse. I had a tune up completed and fuel Injector replacement. July 2026, I started having shuddering at takeoff again. Rapidly progressed to loss of acceleration and my air would not blow cold. It’s been at the shop 2 weeks now and I still owe on it. I’ll never purchase another Ford! I’ve read way too many people online having the same issues I’m experiencing and there’s no recall. My son and I could have been seriously hurt if that loss of acceleration occurred on the interstate”

“I started having transmission issues 2 years after having my car. Took it into the shop and they stated it was a powertrain and transmission slipping. Then proceeded to quote the work almost $7,000. This is the second ford vehicle I had that has had transmission problems. What if my car stalls out at a red light or the transmission fails on the road? Important factors to consider.”

“This is the second Ford Edge that my family has owned. We traded in our 2020 Ford Edge when its transmission torque converter failed at just over 100,000mi and the cost to repair was as much as the car was worth. The torque converter on our current Ford Edge (2019) just failed at 57,000mi and again, the cost to repair is as much as the car is worth. The failed torque converter caused immediate heavy stutter and lack of power on acceleration, as well as significant jolting of the vehicle when gears changed (both accelerating and decelerating). I have recently learned that these Edge model years are plagued with a faulty transmission that prematurely fails making driving dangerous and a repair extremely costly.”

“After I shift out of park and start driving, my vehicle shudders and jerks. The shuddering and jerking are less noticeable the faster I go and almost goes away completely once I reach 60-70mph. It's almost like when the car has bad gas but after testing this theory that was found not to be the case after changing to premium gas. I took my car to Lafayette Ford located in Fayetteville, NC. They determined that the torque converter has a shudder and also the transmission has a harsh shift from 2-3. They said that manufacturer has a suggested fix for this concern that they recommend all of the dealerships to follow. Per Ford, TSB 25-2154 covers this and will need to be performed. Prior to me experiencing these issues, there were no warning lamps or messages but about 9 months earlier there was a popping noise when I turned the wheel while trying to leave a parking lot. Popping and loud clicking and banging. After diagnostic check, they replaced the axle assembly and front axle shaft. The car was never the same after that work was done.”
