Our Ford Edge st has 43,000 on it and there are times that when we if shift from park to reverse or reverse to drive, it sound and feels like the transmission dropped out of the vehicle and sounds like a bullet from a gun. Since it is out of the 3 year/36,000 warranty, Ford wants $200 to diagnose it and what it will cost to repair it. I haven’t taken to Ford, based on the fact that this as it is a known issue.

Has the 8f35 transmission which keeps stuttering/jerking at or about 35-45mph. Took it to a transmission specialty shop and to Ford dealership to get quoted over $10k for a new transmission. The vehicle has 67,500 miles.

The car was starting to jerk it felt like it was not getting gas or something. I took it to the food dealership and they told me the torque converter needed to be replaced. The estimate was 4818 plus tax. I researched this issue and found several complaints and feel there should be a recall. I even got an extended warranty but it expired. There were no warning lights or notifications stating there was a problem.

1-transmission is shuttering, jerking at low speeds when accelerating or braking to slow down. When this happens the engine shuts off right in the middle of traffic or on the freeway. 2-the transmission repair mechanic said the transmission needs to be replaced and during removal and inspection, he said it's the worst he has ever seen. 3-Ford said there is no recall on my model, but the internet search says lots of people are having the same issue with "jerking" "shuttering" at low speeds when the transmission is in lower gears. 4-vehicle is in the shop getting a new transmission at a cost of approx. $8,000.

At around 73k miles, the transmission was starting to have trouble downshifting into lower gears. I brought it into Ford service shop, and they said nothing was wrong with it. It keeps happening now and then since. At 114k miles, the torque converter wouldn't drop down. It was dispersing metal shavings into the transmission fluid and completely damaged the entire transmission. The entire transmission needs to be replaced, it won't even drive at all anymore. There were no warnings.

My Ford Edge egr valve failed causing the engine coolant to burn in the engine cylinders and coming out the exhaust if it over headed could have caused engine failure. Was repaired with the same parts that failed hope the engine does not have damage that won't be seen till later I looked it up found out there are lots of Ford Edges and escape doing this plus I had to pay 100 dollars deductible I think Ford should recall all these cars and replace with an upgraded part that won't fail my Edge only has 34000 miles on it.

This car hesitates, engine light indicates misfire. Dealer confirms coolant leaking into the engine. I find out now this is a well known and widespread problem with Ford engines in this era. The car is unsafe to drive due to impending sudden and complete engine failure.

Gettting told the torque converter is going out.

At 80000 miles, the car started stuttering while shifting between 2 to 4th gears. The dealer diagnosed it as a bad torque coverter. I had this fixed and the check engine light came on as the car started missing and slipping gears. The next correction will be a transmission replacement, as the car is slipping and missing while trying to accelerate and decelerate. This is causing lurching and lack of acceleration which can lead to be rear ended or not making a left hand turn and getting hit in my side.

The transmission started shuddering at 70,000 miles because torque converter was having severe problems due to software which was verified by the Ford dealership service department mechanic on 9/3/2025. Ford refuses to do a recall on this matter even though my vehicle was about stall out while driving on a hill upward. There is no warning codes or anything on the log history of the vehicle computer. No indications are given which is a safety concern to drivers and bystanders.

Vehicle is sputtering and shuddering when driving. No warning lights are present. Dealer did a diagnose test and found bulletin service messages relating to the vehicles concern TSB 25-2154 and the vehicle has an open campaign for this issue.

Vehicle start bucking at low speeds around 65,,000 miles, felt like transmission wasn’t shifting gears. Transmission needed to be rebuilt. Ford said there was. TSB about it. 3 weeks later this doing the same thing and now fluid is leaking on drivers side behind front wheel.

Vehicle gradually began shuddering/transitioning harshly while accelerating, and worsening over time. Took it to a mechanic and they told me that the transmission was known to be faulty for this year of Ford Edges.

Bucking at low speeds. Only 48,000 miles on car. In the shop now to replace the torque converter.

Car jerked forward and back slightly like slowly going over rumble strips when slowing to stop. When at stop felt like the car was in neutral when pushing on gas. Car revved engine, but no movement. Was able to push it to safe place, but from there it seemed locked up even in neutral when trying to push the car later. Sound like grinding clattering when revving engine and neutral.
