Ford has recalled over 2. 9 million vehicles, including 2015–2018 Ford Edge models, due to a faulty transmission shifter cable bushing that can degrade and detach. This defect may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear (specifically park), creating a risk of unexpected rollaway and injury. I almost had a bad car accident my. Car was in park and started rolling backwards making this loud screeching noise this was after the recall was allegedly repaired and now they wont fix the issue and its affected the transmission. . . There were no warning messages at all. . Ford is telling me I have to pay 7,200 dollars for a repair they didn't fix properly now I cant even drive my car its still in their possession.

I was backing out of my driveway and I went about ten feet and my vehicle stopped I then put it in drive and it wouldn’t go anywhere ,I then put back in reverse and it wouldn’t go backwards either I shut the vehicle off and called triple aaa to get my vehicle towed. While I was waiting I started it up again and the I saw lit up on my dashboard awd malfunction so I shut it off again. The tow company brought my vehicle to a service station up the street so they could look at it . They diagnosed it and on January 29th they said my rear differential needed to be replaced and the cost was going to be $3500 which included labor with all the issues with Ford I checked to see if there was a recall there wasn’t but there were other people complaining about this when u look up problems with 2015 Ford Edge sel. There was no warning message prior to this happening. I do have to get this fixed it’s my only car. Please help this is extremely expensive especially for a senior citizen.

Coolant entered into the engine, causing catastrophic failure. There was no warning on the dash of low coolant or anything until it happened. By then, it was too late! this is a known problem by Ford motor company, yet they have done nothing to assist owners with repairs by offsetting costs or performing them for free!!.

At this point, I have been told to come in for a diagnostic check (my time off from work), but no parts and cannot fix it if the brake hose is leaking, my rear view camera is acting up at least on a weekly basis, can be at times more often then that, and they do not have the parts, also Ford is not making the parts at this time per warrentary employee at the dealership. ???? so consumer safety with Ford is - do not care about customer safety? I have to stop and take time for a diagnostic check, to be told yes or no if yes nothing can be done, if no let's say in a week it start to leak, again the parts are no being made at this time my recall letter is from 9/1/2025 over 5 months almost half a year and parts are not being made??? increase in stopping distance increases the risk of a crash. I thought customer safety was to protect from physical harm, Ford is not doing this so now , was I sold a lemon that cannot be fixed? try backing up from the driveway into the cudelsac and viewing for kids, and pets then all of a sudden camera jumps to moving lines and scares the crap out of you making you jump (while driving) please assist me understanding why part are not being made for these Ford Edges I know I am not the only Ford Edge on the road I see them when I am on the road. Can we please ensure not just drivers of the Ford Edge safety the to potential damage and injuries to the other vehicle or pedestrian that could be hit by these recall Ford Edges with no repairs in site or parts being made.

Have only had 2019 Ford Edge sel for just about 3yrs. . Around the middle of Nov, 2025 vehicle started sputting/jerking up to about 40mph then would drive fine at higher speeds. . . While driving over the weekend Jan 3rd 2026 vehicle started smoking extremely bad, no check engine light to let me know anything was wrong, still no lights at this time. . . Had to abruptly stop on the highway to merge over to get to the side safely thinking any minute vehicle could catch fire. Assuming it was a oil leak, had it towed to the mechanic shop where I was informed it was transmission fluid everywhere. After looking up systems I came across a forum where owners of this vehicle are calling for recall for the exact same problem. Mechanic stated take to Ford dealership bc these Edges have had transmission issues and he didn't want to replace converter or any other part then months later need new transmission which he quoted at 9600. Not only my safety was put at risk but every person on the road that day, it was smoking so bad couldn't see clearly out winshield, people honking telling me vehicle was on fire underneath. After all the chaos, fluid everywhere, smoke, burnt smell, jerking, ect. . Still no alert on dash of any kind!.

Multiple instances of being blinded completely by led headlights of oncoming vehicles. Please do something about this!.
To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally report an ongoing and concerning issue with my 2022 Ford Edge. My vehicle has begun hesitating when pressing the accelerator and jerking between 20 mph and 40 mph. Some days the issue is worse than others, but it has progressively made the vehicle feel unreliable and unsafe to drive. At times, it feels as though the vehicle may break down while in motion. After researching this issue, I have found that many other Ford Edge owners are experiencing the same symptoms, with the torque converter frequently identified as the cause. This appears to be a widespread and recurring problem rather than an isolated incident. Additionally, the vehicle will coast between approximately 2,000 and 5,000$. This behavior is not normal and raises serious concerns regarding drivability, safety, and long-term damage to the transmission. Given how common this issue appears to be among Ford Edge vehicles, I strongly believe this warrants further investigation and the establishment of a recall. Owners should not be financially responsible for a known and recurring manufacturing defect. I am requesting that Ford address this issue promptly and take responsibility for repairs associated with this problem. I appreciate your time and look forward to a resolution. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
At approximately 10:30 a. M. On 12/28/2025, while traveling on the highway, the panoramic sunroof of my 2019 Ford Edge sel spontaneously exploded without warning. The failure was accompanied by a sound similar to a gunshot. The weather was clear and sunny, with an ambient outdoor temperature of approximately 20°f. The vehicle had been pre-warmed, and the interior climate control was set to 73°f. There were no vehicles immediately in front of me, no overhead bridges, and no evidence of road debris or external impact. Upon the failure, the tempered glass shattered completely, the majority of the glass was forced into the passenger cabin, landing primarily in the backseat. This created an immediate safety hazard, distraction, and risk of injury from glass debris while maintaining vehicle control at high speeds. There is no "impact crater" or point of origin suggesting a rock chip as the front portion of the roof shattered completely; the glass appears to have failed due to internal tension or thermal stress. I am reporting this as a structural defect of the vista roof glass assembly.
I was driving and heard a loud popping sound and there was glass everywhere and my part of my sunroof was blown out. I think it was what they can an exploding sunroof.
The transmission started to fail while driving without any problems beforehand. It caused a huge safety risk while driving in a big city.
Rear backup camera constantly displays an inverted (upside-down) image and the picture quality becomes unclear/blurry. This makes it difficult to judge distance and orientation when reversing and creates a safety risk when backing up.

2019-2021 Ford Edge & Lincoln nautilus equipped with the 8f35 transmission for defective failures. Ford issued TSB 21-2389, but it does not resolve the issue.
My backup camera began malfunctioning in November 2025. Initially, the image became distorted, and shortly after, the screen went completely blank with a message instructing me to contact the dealership. I did so and was informed that my vehicle was not included in the recall and that I would be responsible for the repair costs out of pocket. I referenced the 15-year rearview camera extended warranty that applies to non-recalled vehicles. The dealership stated they were unaware of this warranty. As a result, I contacted Ford directly and opened a case with the automotive safety office in November 2025. Today, I followed up with Ford to check on the status of my case and was told there has been no update. I was also informed that because there is no csp number associated with the 15-year extended warranty for Edge models that are not actively recalled, Ford cannot take any action. I was essentially told that the warranty “does not exist,” despite the fact that it has been widely reported by major news outlets and automotive publications. I was further told that if my vehicle were currently at a dealership, they might be able to help, but since it is not, they cannot do anything. Ford also stated that while the issue could potentially be recalled in the future, there is no action they are willing to take at this time. This is a known Ford defect, and despite extensive documentation and public acknowledgment of the issue, Ford is refusing to repair it.

I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2019 Ford Edge, which now requires a full transmission replacement despite having fewer than 90,000 miles. A major transmission failure at this mileage is highly abnormal for a vehicle of this age and maintenance history. Prior to the failure, I experienced shuddering and irregular shifting, yet the vehicle’s warning lamps did not consistently illuminate to indicate that there was a problem. The lack of warning indicators prevented early detection and contributed to the severity of the issue. I received a repair estimate from don seelye Ford in kalamazoo, mi, totaling $11,534. 07 for the transmission replacement and related service. This cost is excessive and entirely unexpected for a vehicle with under 90,000 miles, and it places a significant financial burden on me as the owner. Given the premature nature of this failure, the safety concerns it created, and the extremely high repair cost, I am requesting a full review of this matter and consideration for assistance or coverage.
I am a second time owner of Ford cars, it's really concerning to me that for one, they have the reputation of their transmissions being faulty, lastly that this being my second vehicle that I have purchased from them that's having transmission issues. Transmission issues that are identical to each other. The transmission keeps slipping and I've only owned the car going on two years. There should be no reason that I would have to replace it so soon. Just like it was in my 2005 Ford taurus. This is an issue that needs immediate attention and it's a rip off because coming up with 9 thousand dollars to spend to repair something that you can just get a new car with that as a deposit. I am very frustrated with Ford and it really needs to be looked at. From looking at it, many people have had this issue with this particular car and need you to please act on this. Ford can not continue to make faulty transmission in their cars and expect people to pay these high prices for repair. Please look into this and help us the consumer and spending our hard earned money on faulty producrts.

Was told by mechanic that my engine has a coolant leak and has caused engine failure. The car has been jerking whenever I accelerate. The remote start does not function from my key fob and I have been unable to pair the Ford pass app with that. The usb ports for android auto also don't seem to work. If I drive over a small bump on the road, it disconnects my phone from android auto. I then have to unplug the cable then replug back into my phone or the usb port to hopefully get it to work again.

Sunroof spontaneously shattered.
At around 82,000 miles my 2020 egde started started having acceleration issues from 0-40, this was right after my warranty expired. I have kept up with all maintenance since bought new in 2020. No warning lights show on dashboard and took to 3 mechanics, which during diagnostic testing showed only a mis-fire and then was told the torque converter needs replaced which is a few thousand dollars.
Transmission causing jerking, shuddering and take off issues. It was diagnosed as the torque converter messed up in the transmission. My safety is at risk of being reared in as the car hesitates to go in gear and to shift properly.
Component or system that failed or malfunctioned, and availability for inspection the torque converter and transmission system in my 2020 Ford Edge have malfunctioned. The vehicle experiences transmission shuddering/stuttering during normal driving, particularly during low-speed acceleration and gear changes. The vehicle remains in my possession and is available for inspection upon request. Safety risk the transmission stuttering causes hesitation, jerking, and unpredictable power delivery while driving. This creates a safety risk, especially when accelerating from a stop, merging into traffic, or driving at low speeds in congested areas. The lack of smooth and reliable acceleration increases the risk of rear-end collisions or loss of control, putting both myself and other drivers at risk. Confirmation or reproduction of the problem the issue has been consistently reproducible during normal operation of the vehicle. The symptoms have been observed repeatedly and were confirmed by a dealer/independent service center, which identified the torque converter and transmission as the source of the problem and advised that significant repairs or replacement would be required. Inspections performed the vehicle has been inspected by a dealership and/or independent repair facility. The manufacturer has not yet directly inspected the vehicle beyond dealer diagnostics, but the vehicle is available for further inspection if requested. Warning lamps, messages, or symptoms prior to failure there were no immediate warning lamps at the onset of the issue. The primary symptoms were transmission shuddering, stuttering, and rough shifting, which gradually worsened over time. These symptoms first appeared during regular driving and became more frequent and severe, indicating progressive failure of the torque converter and transmission system.
My backup camera continues to not work and says I need to contact the dealership. When I contact the place that I got it from it says it's not covered under their warranty in the contact Ford. When I contact Ford they said there was some rear backup camera thing going on and that the recall had not been issued yet? also I've been having issues with it connecting to any kind of device, it will say connecting phone and load and load and load and never connect or the phone will be connected and say it's not connected so calls and stuff won't come through and when calls you come through it switches to aux and then you can't hear the person who's speaking which I find dangerous because then you have to touch your phone while driving. Another issue that I'm having is when I fill up my tank it is saying for example if I put $40 in and it's the same price it was the day before and I have to fill up my tank I would get different readings so sometimes I might get like 370 in other days I might get like 205 which makes it difficult to really gauge how much gas you have. Have had multiple times where I've had to completely reset the infotainment system because it does not work and you can't push any buttons on it including the buttons that are below that infotainment system that control tuning seeking and temperatures of the car and do you think that there's some electrical problems somewhere that could be causing all of these issues.
I’ve had some serious problems with my back up camera sometimes it blacks out and turns completely black in the middle of me backing up a few times I almost ran into a car and a person backing up and then when it goes blank all of a sudden I couldn’t see. Also sometimes the picture will turn upside down and get distorted. I was going to get it looked at and I spoke with a friend that has a 2013 Ford Edge and said they were having the same problems with their back up camera. So I looked it up online and noticed there’s a recall on all backup cameras on Ford vehicles, it said it started 2015 and up, and it stated that the problems that they were having were the exact same problems that I’m having but when I put my information in, it says there’s no recall on my car so if it’s the specific year, I don’t know, but I’m obviously having the exact same problems with my backup camera and I feel like it’s dangerous and I’m sure I’m not the only vehicle that that’s happened to, especially with them having a recall on their backup cameras. I feel that Ford should recall on the backup cameras for more than just the 2015 and up, my model is a 2014 Ford Edge sport and definitely is having the exact same problems as the other recalls on their back up cameras.

Rear backup camera image went fuzzy, then blank. Can no longer get a camera image when in reverse repeatedly.
My backup camera consistently blurs out with colored lines inconsistently. This has happened since I bought the vehicle over 3 years ago.
This back up camera has been an issue almost immediately after I got the car. Now the picture is upside down and has lines across the screen. I am on disability and I need my camera. That's one of the reasons I bought the car. Please fix this ASAP.

Rear back up camera stopped working after image turned upside down for a few days.
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.
Vehicle had a studdering problem, spark plugs replaced, dealership said the spark plugs were masking an “underlying issue with the transmission shudder and torque converter and transmission was at the end of its life”. The unknown of the state of the transmission is the safety concern to me and others. The vehicle has been inspected by ed morse Ford. There was no indication other than shudder on acceleration, until the dealership looked at it. The shudder recently started end of August 2025, and has gradually gotten worse until taking to dealership (October 13 2025).
Rear differential has gone bad and needs replaced due to unsafe to drive.
Has happened on about 3 or 4 occasions that as I am driving it will get a buzzer sounding and red light on dashboard indicating collision is about to happen although there is no other cars or obstacles in the roadway.
Back up camera often gets stuck on and will show what is behind you while driving forward. Or the screen will be blue and not show anything in forward or reverse. It has happened approximately 35 times since purchasing it in March 2025.
Was driving about 30 miles a hour and there were no other cars on the road and there were no obstacles in the road and tbe forward collision warning alert started flashing and dinging on the dashboard. There was absolutely no reason it should have gone off this is about the 4th time it has randomly done this now and it’s a bit concerning.
