The vehicle was sluggish to reverse as I left my office but after I left it was operating normally to gas station about 3 miles away. I stopped at gas station to fuel up. After, I started car and it would not go back in reverse. When I shifted from park back to reverse, it moved maybe 5". Was sputtering and clanking. I drove forward maybe 2', while sputtering, jerking, and clanking. I managed to make it home (<3 miles) and on shifting it wanted to stall, and on braking it was sputtering, jerking, and clanking with downshifting. At home, when I put it in reverse, I got an error message "gear select will engage at low speeds", and as I tried to reverse, the car went forward almost causing me to crash into my house. After several attempts to back up and begin to go out of my drive, it was sputtering and jerking too much so I decided to try to reverse back to the carport, and it would not move. It sits where it stopped.
The vehicle hesitates when engaging accelerator;shifting roughly,stuttering ,mostly under 50 mph.

2021 Ford Edge st 4500 miles after the 5/13 back-up camera system update, which I my car did not have a problem with. Expected functionality - under 6 mph, when pressing the "front camera button" it is supposed to show the camera. Actual functionality after 5/13 system update - scenario 1 - camera works from cold start, putting car in drive, and pressing the camera. After moving above 6mph, and then going back under 6mph, the front button camera no longer works and/or works intermittently and unexpectedly stops working. Scenario 2 - after going above 6mph, then only way to get the camera to work is to put the car in reverse, wait for the rear camera to show, then put back into drive and hit "front camera button". This will result in the camera showing for 1-3 seconds before intermittently/randomly stopping which can result in me crashing into something. *when pressing the camera a second time "180 degree split view "no longer works.

In Feb 2022 my dash produced a pre-collision assist not avaible and also a adaptive cruise not available sensor blocked see manual. When I tried to tap the button for cruise control it would show set speed , but wouldn't let me . I called ricart Ford in ohio and took it to them . They said it was the cruise control manual bracket had been damaged by outside force( a rock) and Ford wouldn't fix it. Mind you I have never hit anything with this vehicle. Ricart refused todo anything so I contacted Ford and they said take it to a different dealership . Took it to donley inohio they said a bird. Now the screen gltiches, the front camera doesn't work , the hatch will open and shut multiple times and when shutting the moon roof it will stop and go back . Then it made a sound and sounded like the gearbox, also car alarm went off , while running in park , nothing touching keys. Also the all wheel drive light will come on and say dissabled.
Hi the main screen just goes blank or partially corrupted, so I have no access to the rear camera or main controls on the panel.
