Car began to jerk, shudder and lurch during acceleration. Sometimes jerking strong enough to make steering difficult. Took car to dealership and was diagnosed as a torque converter issue. Was told this is a common issue with this transmission and was quoted nearly $5000 to repair. No lights or warnings come on. The problem began very abruptly. Currently the car has yet to be repaired so parts would be available to inspect if needed.

The car has 70,000 miles on it. The cars transmission feels like its hesitating or slipping in low speed or when you first take off. Its dangerous turning into highways. Theirs recalls on this same make amd model and year but this car by VIN says heir is no recalls. But its doing the same thing as the other recalled cars. Took it to Ford dealer. Ted britt, in fairfax, va. They said it was not under recall. They printed out a report and also said theirs no codes on car. They stated the transmission might have to be recalibrated, or I need a new transmission. Took it to another mechanic shop the car did not have check engine light on but did have codes stored. The mechanic said they can service transmission and check fluid levels. The dealer never said anything to me about when I should get it serviced or at how many miles. So I dont know who to believe. Looked online said that year has recalls and that the trans should be serviced at 30 to 50 thousand miles. So why wouldn't the dealer say that if that could affect the safty of this vehicle. I only use the dealer to get serviced. It just makes me not trust Ford because of all the recalls they have they cant afford to fix more cars. Im also contacting better buisness bureau and documenting everything. I have two diagnostic reports 1 from deal 1 from a mechanic shop. Both saying different things. This should be under recall the mechanic from the shop told me to file a report he said he can fix transmission but does not want to touch it because what he seen it falls under manufactur defect.

Computer error p0304 - misfiring in cylinder 4. Diagnosed with a coolant leak into the cylinder. Potential safety issues: loss of power: a misfire can cause sudden power loss, particularly during acceleration or at high speeds, increasing the risk of accidents, especially in traffic or on highways. Engine stalling: if the misfire worsens, the engine may stall, leaving you unable to control the vehicle, which is dangerous in busy areas or intersections. Overheating risk: coolant intrusion into cylinder 4 (as noted in TSB 22-2229) can lead to overheating if the cooling system is compromised, potentially causing engine failure or fire hazards. Catalytic converter damage: persistent misfires can overheat and damage the catalytic converter, potentially leading to a fire risk under the vehicle. Beyond this, it is my 17 year old daughter driving this car and she could be stranded some place unsafe due to not starting or in the middle of traffic while driving. It has been inspected by a mechanic to confirm the leak. Ford's issuing of a TSB on this issue (TSB 22-2229) - calls for a new engine. Ford knows they have made faulty engines in these cars and refuses to help cover the cost of replacement.

My transmission needed to be overhauled at 65,000 miles, at a cost of $7147 at a Ford dealer. I have all documentation. Symptoms of a power train problems started much earlier than 65,000 miles, possibly around 60,000 miles in summer of 2024. The car was 'pulsing' and losing power when accelerating onto a highway, and in other situations where maneuverability was important. My regular mechanic thought it likely due was misfiring cylinders, and he changed the spark plugs. I asked about the transmission, and he said it was highly unlikely due to the low mileage. But the change in spark plugs did not help the situation. I had no engine warning lights to indicate any transmission problems. The pulsing remained. Late spring 2025, I was getting a new engine light on in the car that I did not recognize. In July, I felt the power drop out (twice) completely during moderate highway traffic traveling from maine back to massachusetts in July, which prevented me from keep with the flow of traffic for those instances. Prior to going to the dealer, I went to an independent shop who confirmed my suspicion of the transmission issue through a test drive and with a diagnostic code reader. The shop owner said he had seen this in Ford escapes before, but mine was the first Edge has had seen. He speculated that since the 2019 cars were now coming of age with similar mileage, he would be seeing a lot more of these issues. He estimated that it would definitely be over $6000 to fix. I chose to have the dealer fix the transmission (higher cost out of pocket) in case of any future recalls where I could be reimbursed. Based on research on the web, this appears to be a common problem with Ford vehicles of this type, built in this timeframe with the 8 speed automatic transmission. I'm surprised there has not been a recall for these transmissions yet. It seems like a poor design that has impacted many consumers. This should be investigated.

Torque converter was coming apart, according to the service advisor at bannister Ford in marlow heights, MD. Car was shuddering upon acceleration from a stop or slow speed and not accelerating properly. Also noticeable slipping at highway speeds and rpms would not stay steady. No warning lights or messages, problem began at 57,000 miles and near failure at 60443.

Shuddering when driving, hard shifting down, transmission feels to be slipping. No warning lights on yet. I am worried about it not shifting and causing an accident or slipping the gear & causing an accident.

Loss of power.

The first indication of a problem began when I felt a stutter shifting gears at low speeds. No check engine light or anything came on but it happened again so I took the car to a local dealer to be checked. He said my transmission was shot and quoted $8000. 00 for replacement as the 60,000 mile warranty had passed. My car has 92000 miles on it. I couldn't believe this as I have had no other issues with this car so I drove to a second repair shop. During the 20 mile drive my car began stuttering at all speeds, I was surprised I made to the shop. Still no dash indicator lights or check engine lights , nothing. Quoted $4500. 00 to rebuild transmission. I can't believe there is no dip stick for the owner to check transmission fluid levels/condition for regular maintenance. Who designed this?.

Vehicle shuddering bucking and jerking at lower speeds. Shifting is erratic. Dealership diagnosis was a bad tourque converter. Apparently this is a know issue. See Ford TSB 21-2389. Had the vehicle in last month and they replaced the rear differential. Vehicle had less than 60k miles on it. Warrenty had expired while I was waiting for a service appointment (5 years or 60k) repair cost is over $3000.

Two instances now where I am driving vehicle start shuttering. Jerks then speeds up and selecting random gears. Checked fluid levels all fine. Had another incident on the freeway where I suddenly went from 70 mph to a screaming vehicle that rapidly slowed down to 30 mph. I was forced to idle back on the shoulder. Vehicle is back in the shop again.

The vehicle hesitates, bucks, and surges when accelerating from low speed 0-25 mph making it difficult and hazardous merging into traffic and other driving situations. The hesitation, bucking, and surging is getting progressively worse and occurs at higher speeds now. The car has 60k miles. The fluid levels were checked and no problems found. The Ford dealer claims the issue is not familiar and they are advise it would take several days before an expensive diagnostic could be performed. Ford dealer said there were no recalls for this vehicle and no service bulletins for my complaint.

The engine was shaking violently whenever the brakes were engaged. The vehicle required a full torque converter replacement.

Needs new torque converter at 66,000 miles.

My car’s transmission has been shifting erratically, jerking and sometimes goes into reverse while driving.

The torque converter within the power train system failed, causing the vehicle to shutter while traveling at speeds up to 45 mph, then eventually not even allowing the vehicle to reach 45 mph at all. My safety was put at risk because it could cause a wreck if traveling at higher speeds and the vehicle all of a sudden slows to a lower speed. This is a known problem to Ford, there are many complaints from people who own a Ford Edge with the torque converter going out, but Ford has yet to issue a recall. My car is currently at the service department of a Ford dealership with the torque converter being confirmed as the culprit. This is week 3 that my car has been sitting there waiting for the repairs, because the torque converter is on back order. There were no warning lamps that came on to alert me there was any issue with my vehicle. The only way we found out was by taking it to have it looked at because of the shuttering. No warning lamps or messages whatsoever.

Jerking harshly when shifting. Feels like a strong shudder. Light comes on and off. Also experienced a failure to shift and had to shut the car off. Very rough to drive. Car was purchased new, never been in an accident and less then 3 years old.

Transmission needs replacement after only 82,000 miles with regular oil changes and routine maintenance. Ford dealership quote $9600 plus tax for repair. It is unacceptable for Ford to manufacture and sell vehicles with known transmission issues. This could lead to myriad of safety issues.

Transmission. Everyone that owns a 2022 Ford Edge sel have had to either buy a new transmission or rebuild… out of my 4 vehicles with over 100k miles I have never had transmission issue and now I buy this car and it has transmission issues I’m over it. Ford need to recall their transmission.

Transmission stops working / does not engage. At low rpms, heavy jolts. Safety concern. Dealer assistance not correcting to date.

At 67,000 miles the vehicle started lurching forward and then at one point the traction control light came on the dashboard and the vehicle stopped itself while driving, as if the brakes were being applied, but we weren’t applying the brakes. After turning the car off and turning it back on, it drove with hesitation and was slipping between gears. Also, the front collision sensor has been coming on upon startup for quite some time. Took the car to the Ford dealership, and they determined that the torque converter was bad in the transmission and suggested a full transmission replacement. Ford agreed to cover $4000 of the $10,000 replacement. This means I would have to pay $6000 out of pocket to get a new transmission. We previously had a 2020 Ford Edge and had the same exact problem but it was covered under the powertrain warranty as it only had 58,000 miles. At that time, we did a transmission rebuild at the dealership and the car never drove the same after that, which is the reason we bought the 2022 Ford Edge, not thinking we’d have the same exact problem with the transmission.

The rear differential is now needing to be replaced for the second time. My understanding is that this is a common issue with the Ford Edge.

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.

The transfer case on my 2016 Ford Edge titanium awd cracked and failed at approximately 76,000 miles. For months prior, the vehicle showed warning signs including a strong burning smell inside the cabin, jerky movement while reversing, and rubbing or grinding noises during low-speed turns. I sought help multiple times, but the issue was not diagnosed despite repeated service visits. Eventually, the vehicle was taken to another repair facility where, during a test drive, the transfer case fully cracked while the mechanic was driving. According to the technician, the vehicle began smoking and was no longer safe to operate, and he immediately turned around to avoid further risk. The mechanic explicitly told me he was thankful it happened to him and not to me or my family, as it could have been much worse had it occurred on the road. The damaged part has since been replaced, but I have photographs of the failed transfer case attached to this complaint. Safety risk: the failure made the vehicle inoperable and unsafe to drive, with serious risk of mechanical seizure or loss of control if it had occurred under different conditions (e. G. , on the highway or in traffic). There were no dashboard alerts or warning lights—only progressive, difficult-to-pinpoint symptoms. Problem prevalence and TSB history: afterward, I discovered that transfer case failures are a known issue on Ford Edge models, and that the 2016 model year has an unusually high number of technical service bulletins (tsbs) related to powertrain and drivability issues. These include: TSB 18-2057, related to strong cabin odors TSB 18-2255, related to transfer case leaks and driveability problems given the number of complaints online and the pattern reflected in these tsbs, this points to a broader reliability and safety issue with this component in this model year. Inspection history: the vehicle was evaluated multiple times for these issues and was ultimately diagnosed by a certified repair technician af.

My 2019 Ford Edge transmission has been shuddering, jerking, and harsh shifting at low speeds. I’m afraid when driving the transmission is going to fall out of. The car on the road - doesn’t make me feel safe driving it. Took it to dealer and they tell me it is normal wear and tear on the vehicle, which I question. Call Ford and they tell me there is no recall on this vehicle about its transmission, there should be - it is unsafe. There was no service engine lights, just knocking, jerking as I start to drive the vehicle. Please reach out Ford and heave them fix the issue under a recall.
