The car sputters while driving and jolts especially during take offs. When took it to dealership they said they tried everything there was nothing they could do to fix it. My best option was to get another car. I can’t afford another car. The problem is persistently getting worse. I’m afraid that it is going to just end up dying in the middle of the street. Car has less than 70,000 miles on it. I take great care of it. Was one of my favorite cars until a problem occurred with no way of fixing and no clue if it will cause an accident the original problem started out last year small and bearable but it’s been the last 2 days that it has just took a complete turn for the worse.

The engine was stuttering on 07/06/2025 the check engine light came on. Was able to get appointment with dealership on 07/09/2025 - they tested the 2019 Edge and had to replace the purge valve and line assembly. The vehicle only has 45,299 miles. The Edge has had recalls for this problem on other model years. Cost me $1,117. 77 I have never over filled or topped off my fuel tank. On 03/29/2024 the transmission had to be replaced under warranty.
Vehicle fails to utilize auto stop/start. Vehicle engine light comes on and off constantly. Vehicle hesistates, jerks forwards, sputters, and does not gain speed properly at any given time. Vehicle was looked at off an on for over 4 years by north brothers Ford of michigan. They said on mutiple occasions car is fine and all symptoms are normal even as 4 other cars were brought in and again they said this was all normal. All of this off and on from about year 1 of purchasing vehicle till now (7/30/2025) and problems are still on going. Transmission has been rebuilt, oil changes regular, tune up performed. Coils replaced on prior services due to issues noticede by maintenance team.
While driving through a small town +-500 miles from my home the 2016 Edge lost power with no warning. I barely got to a gas station for help. No fluid leaks, no smoke, no check engine light prior to fail. Was running great until it didn’t run anymore. Police checked on me and noted my back end was sticking out into the street a bit, couldn’t move it. Had it towed, got a hotel room due to how far away from home this happened. All local mechanics were booked 2+ weeks out but this one ran diagnostics sooner and suggested engine replacement. Had it towed to closest Ford dealer for 2nd opinion. They suggested same. I had serious (couldn’t start completely dead several times, no prior warnings) and not so serious (radio, seat, door) electrical problems earlier in ownership where Ford engineer came across state to recalibrate. I don’t have documentation on this but I think it took him like 4 hours at Ford seelye kalamazoo but it should be in vehicle history. With these two major exceptions (and no warnings) my Edge ran great. I feel we took great care of it, has zero rust, just over 81k miles and bought it new just over 8 years ago (as of this writing). Just replaced tires, rims, brakes within this year. Filled my gas tank full just before fail. We were told it would cost $2400 to tow it back home. Called Ford road assist for suggestions and relief and they stated that since it’s over 8 years and 80,000 miles they offer nothing. Bought it new on 6/30/17 and engine failed on 6/18/25 (just under 2 weeks of 8 years) and 1,336 miles over of any responsibility on Ford motor company. There should be a Ford customer service case number.

Car will not shift and shutters, this is putting myself and others at risk. The problem was confirmed by a dealership. There is now a check engine light in the vehicle.
While driving I came upon a red light. While sitting at the red light I noticed my car began to loose power and started shaking. My rpm dropped to almost 0. My car was loosing power while driving. No light has appeared on my dashboard, my gas tank said I had 98 miles till empty. I had two young kids in my vehicle. I anxiously started tapping the gas a little and made in into the nearest parking lot. This is unacceptable as I was in the middle of the road with children. I sat in my car with it on idle and nothing happened.

I'm am the original owner of my 2021 Edge st and have kept up with all my scheduled maintenance. Earlier this year, I had my transmission fluid replaced per the 40k maintenance schedule. Since then (and even a little prior to) I can feel the transmission, for lack of a better term, "jutting" and making a very slight "whine" when I've decelerated but then gone to reapply acceleration. It mainly seems to be a problem with second gear. I have also had the fuel neck replaced twice now under warranty. The first time was shortly after purchasing the vehicle, it kept tripping the gas pump at every station and I would have to manually trickle the gas in. Then again a year or two ago it started tripping again and they replaced it. I've also had various rattling noises that start out of no where and persist. My moon roof even came from the factory missing pieces that had to get installed only a month after I had the vehicle. The roof is starting to rattle again this year. I have identified that by rolling the sun shade open and closed and finding with the shade opened and rolled up, the rattling stops.

This has happened 2x where I am driving and there is loud noises coming from the fuel tank area and the car stalls. I am able to get it off the road. I turn the car off and it doesn't immediately restart. When I try and push in the fuel tank there is a lot of air that comes out.
The car felt hard idling after putting gas in it or it hesitates to start. The engine light came on after.

Fuel filter assembly problem. This is a lifetime warranty item on my 2019 for Edge which there is a problem with it bucking and jerking at low speed.
My car was having issues and still is having issues starting after refueling. After putting fuel in the vehicle my car stalls out. I restart the car I have to give it gas before hurrying up and putting it in drive just to keep the car on. Due to a potential internal leak in the canister purge valve this can cause excessive vacuum in the fuel tank and can potentially lead to a crack in the tank, which can lead to a fuel leak and or fire. The check engine light came on reading one code. And because I'm unable to afford to have it repaired because of how expensive it is, I now have three codes coming off the check engine light. I smell fuel when I turn my car off or I'm running I'm running low on gas. My vsa light has also been on during all of this as well. I would gladly bring the vehicle to anyone to get it completely diagnosed by any professional of your choice.
Constant gas smell . Was told there is a fuel tank leak. Also check engine light came on and the codes that came up is for supercharger/ turbo boost.

I have 2 issues. 1. Cil comes on randomly I was told by my local parts place it had a code for a fuel cyliniod thing that purges the air as I do not have a gas cap. 2. Just started 01/10/2025,.
There is an issue with starting the car after fueling up the car every time for past 6-8 months. Car appears to not be getting fuel and I have to keep pressing the accelerator pedal to try and start the car making it sound like I could potentially flood the engine. I was told this might have something to do with there being no gas cap on this model. It is unsafe as it sometimes causes the vehicle to not start or stall after starting when pulling away from the gas pump. This only happens when adding fuel to the vehicle, at no other time do I experience this malfunction. I have not taken it to a Ford dealer or service center yet due to not wanting to be blindsided by something else mysteriously being labeled as "wrong" or in need of repairs.
Put gas in car. The car stalls to crank.

When refueling and the engine is on the revolutions (rpm) go up and down and then engine will turn off by itself. It then takes 2 to 5 minutes to restart engine and then you have to raise the rpm’s until it’s drivable. During this process you can also smell fuel from gas tank area.
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.
In June of 2022, the vehicle was exhibiting symptoms of hard to start especially after refueling, stalling, and poor drivability and the check engine light was illuminated. This vehicle was taken to local Ford dealer (dowling Ford- cheshire, CT) and diagnosed as a faulty fuel vapor separator (aka purge valve/solenoid) Ford part # f2gz-9d289-a. The dealer performed diagnosis/repair/replacement of this part at a total cost of approximately $600. The problem appeared to have been fixed, but now on 10/15/2024 the same issue re-appeared, and once again the dealer has determined same part has failed and now will cost $729 for diag/repair/replacement. This repair is just outside of the 2 year parts and labor warranty provided by Ford and/or dealer. According to my online research this is a well known and common problem with these vehicles as well as many other similar Ford vehicles which a recall has been issued for, and driver/occupant safety is gravely affected because this issue can cause stalling, poor throttle response, inability to start, and general poor driveability which seriously affects safety and cause a crash or cause driver to be unable to avoid a crash or other danger. Ford motor CO and Ford dealer refuses to accept responsibility for this issue and will not offer any assistance for repair. As of 10/29/24 the vehicle has not been repaired yet, and vehicle and parts are available for inspection.

Took my car to my mechanic said that coolant was draining into my 2. 0 ecoboost engine in cylinder 4 causing misfire, white smoke to come out of my pipes, sweet antifreeze smell in the cabin. Have to constantly dump coolant into the car so that it doesn't over heat. When I start the car in the morning it acts as if the car is going to die if I don't hit the gas. Contacted Ford, they said it was my problem. I bought the car a year ago. It started at about 72000 miles.
55,000 miles and start the car it shakes and engine light comes on. My plugin said misfired cylinder so we take it to apple Ford in maplewood, mn and they say it has coolant in engine cylinders and need to replace the engine for about $7500 and it’s not drivable they said. Internet has many lists of this complaint for my engine but still no recall. I’ve had it parked since waiting.
Engine light came on. Dealership says that I need a whole new transmission. Car is not slipping and seems to be driving fine. The car has less that 94,000 miles.
The check engine light would intermittently light up and then go out for a few months prior to system failure. In the week prior to failure, we took the vehicle to autozone and used their engine code scanner to try to diagnose the problem. Based on the result of that, we first changed the spark plugs, which initially made the check engine light turn off for about a week, then it came back on. We then replaced the ignition coils, the check engine light never went out. A couple of days after that, while I was driving home from work one morning, the check engine light started to flash at me, which it had not done before, the car started shaking, and the rpm pin started dancing but would not exceed 2000rpm. We took it to the dealership where they diagnosed a coolant intrusion in cylinder 2 and told us this is a known problem with turbo boost engines from 2015-2018 and that there is currently a class action lawsuit underway to push Ford motor company to make it an official recall. They recommended replacing the engine or trading the vehicle in for a new car. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic, who confirmed the dealership's diagnosis and replaced the engine with a 2019 reman turbo boost engine, including brand new turbo hoses and gaskets. The total bill came to $8367. 64.
Coolant leak into cylinder causing engine to misfire, caused by warped cylinder head. Chapman Ford and carshop have inspected and confirmed this issue and have indicated it is a common, recurring issue with Ford engines. Ford issued a service bulletin about this specific problem in 2019. In August 2019, the engine light went on, “misfire in cylinder #2”.
The fuel tank has a crack in the top causing fuel leaking when the tank is full. This has been confirmed by an independent service center. Cost to replace the tank is approximately 3000$.
Two separate instances where this vehicle (2019 Ford Edge titanium) completely shut down. The first, unfortunately, was in traffic while navigating a rotary. The second less intense event was in while parking. Eventually, the vehicle did restart and we were able to get it home. This looks to be an extension of a problem Ford thought was fixed -- related to the cannister purge valve (front) remaining stuck open. I say this because a cheap scanner tool revealed code p0496, and we experienced one of the primary symptoms (rough start after filling gas tank).
[xxx] [xxx] as you can see in the links above this has been a issue with the purge valve for the Edge . This problem is so ignorable to the driver because they will junk the car and resale it. I cant because I signed papers to buy this Edge I could have did another lease. I decided to buy my this Edge 2021out of 4 Edges ive leased and this one I should have not bought my(2021). Buying this one with low miles 22,335, and at the most ten days later this particular part (purge valve) not even an opportunity to shop around for a extended warranty went bad. Its not only a problem for Ford but then the Lincoln nautilus that vehicle shows it holds its value $30,000 or more I also consider this vehicle as well during my purchasing process. I convinced my sister to lease her second corsair 2024. And family of dedicated Ford owners Ford 150's its hard for me to not tell them this is and issue. My mother scheduled her appointment weeks down late August 2024 for recall her 2021 and the purge valve. The purge valve should have extended the recall to 2021's Edge and others. Im out diagnostic fees, labor, to fix it almost $900. . . . That is ridiculous information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
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.
No warning lights before or after the problem occurred. Driving about 25mph with traffic heard loud noise like something broke then sounded like plastic was dragging, the engine was a lot louder. I got it off traffic and pulled over. Nothing under the car. No warning or engine lights came on. Dealer told me it was a fly wheel on 6/26 and covered under warranty. Said it would take 2 weeks to repair (July 5). I kept calling for status on my car with no call back from the service manager. I finally had to complain (although I was afraid to since they had my car), and they called on 7/12 said it's not the fly wheel like they thought, they said I need a whole new transmission. They don't know what cause it but maybe something broke inside the transmission caused damage to it. $7600 cost to replace it. Not covered under warranty. We contacted another mechanic who says it's probably the torque something (arm?) that broke. I paid what to me is a lot of money for the car. It also needed a completely new engine at 44k miles which was covered under warranty. For the amount of money I paid for the car it's crazy I have to shell out $7600 more.
2017 Ford Edge was rattling with starting it in the morning. We received a backdated letter about a flexplate recall. We took car in to check it out. Service guy said to go home, “you would know if it was the flexplate”. Then car was rattling a little more and check engine light came on, so I brought the car and the letter back in and same service guy said he would check it out. Charged me $764 to change out 4 spark plugs and an ignition coil. Said car was fine to drive and that they checked all cylinders etc. But they were going to ask for Ford approval to replace flexplate…. . They called that it was approved and they kept car for many days and said it was fixed. Last week (two months and only 500 miles later), check engine light came on again. We took it back to auto nation. They kept car to evaluate the problem. Called us a few days later saying we would need a new engine for $8,500. Service guy said this happens a lot. Most people had traded in for new cars. One guy with extended warranty got it fixed. We asked if cylinders, plugs, etc were fully checked 2 months ago, why would you say cylinders are corroded now? did fixing the flexplate cause the problem? we looked online and saw talk of class action lawsuits, cylinder issues, ecoboost engine issues, and possible car fire issues. This caught our attention as a huge safety concern. We are not sure how to proceed. (I have all paperwork from autonation and recall letter. ).
My brakes are hard to press sometimes hard to stop. Jerky and then hard then soft. I read brake booster master cylinder or hcu all Ford's mistakes. Still no recall. I'm outside of the extended warranty because I just bought this 3 months ago and it's over 10 years old only 115000 miles on it. If I die I'm having my family sue Ford. Codes p2 195 and p2 197 are now showing after a week and a half of this problem. Taking it to Ford Tuesday. Calling customer service Monday. Shame on Ford.
2. 0 eco boost motor. Intrusion of coolant into the 1st and 2nd cylinder. Superior warranty and Ford company refuse to take any responsibility of this issue. It is a known issue and it has cost me $6624 and it is hard enough to have to buy 2nd hand car but 3 days after this issue arises. As is vehicle. Ford should be liable. 111k miles at time of repair. Started as fuel issues per starks where bought car to spark plugs and coils to motor and fly wheel.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? -the engine had to be replaced due to coolant and oil leaking through the 4th cylinder into the engine itself, effectively killing it. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? -the car unexpectedly shook very violently, and would not properly accelerate due to the problem. Smoke clouded the street as I drove to the repair shop - and other drivers were worried for mine and others safety. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? -the problem was confirmed by an independent mechanic as well as a Ford dealer, who told me this is a common occurrence with this specific engine, though there is no recall. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? -the Ford dealer inspected the engine and came to the same conclusion as the independent mechanic - the engine had suffered an intrusion of oil and coolant through the 4th cylinder which effectively killed the engine. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? -the check engine light had been on for around a year prior. Also, the acceleration had been getting weaker and weaker.
At around 47,000 miles (April 27, 2024) my car would not move when I put it in reverse to leave my house that day, the engine would just rev and it would not get into the reverse gear. Then warning light came on for the power train so I called the dealership and had it towed to their service department. They said they had to completely rebuild my transmission and it took them almost a month to complete the repairs. (may 6th, while the car was at the dealership , I received several engine warnings from my Ford app. I got my car back from the dealership about 2 weeks later) but immediately after getting my car back from the dealership there were still issues; it’s slips gears , especially from drive to first gear and first gear to second gear and the engine will rev for a while and then the entire vehicle jerks when it finally catches the next gear, also it doesn’t have enough power for steep inclines , it will just roll backwards while the engine is raving trying to climb the hill. This happened intermittently after the transmission rebuild but has since progressed to be an everyday issue. And I’ve sent it back to the dealership several times over the last year for them to fix it but it never gets fixed. They keep telling me they did a software update and that should fix the issue, but it doesn’t. It’s at the dealership again right now because it has gotten so bad that I can’t even drive the car. You start the car, put it in drive and it just revs and won’t even catch first gear. It now has around 60,000 miles. I’m the only owner of the vehicle and I take excellent care of my vehicles. I just want my vehicle to be drivable and a vehicle that is worth the price that I paid for it. I paid for a brand new vehicle, but what I got is a piece of crap. And not drivable.
