The car is shuderring in low speed, feel like kicks.

Vehicle bucks and jerks while accelerating and transmission shifts harshly causing vehicle shaking and driver distraction . This is a known documented issue with the Ford 8 speed transmission.

This dealership is a scam, my car isn't even safe to drive because the (psm) needs to be replaced and none of the modules are communicating but somehow they passed the inspection. I bought this car as is 2/24/26 and 2 days later it started overheating. I took to big al's like they recommended and big al's replaced the coolant assembly the car was still overheating so big al's recommended the electrical shop and I took it to them. Tidewater auto electric didn't find any electrical problems. So I took it to dave's tire and auto center and they said the psm needs to be replaced and all of the module because they are no longer communicating with each other. That's not safe and yet carland sold it to me anyway.

Our torque converter has gone out on our vehicle. It has been meticulously maintained with fluid changes and every service when needed at mileage intervals. It started showing symptoms at 63k miles which is unacceptable for a transmission to start dying already. Looking online lots of other drivers have the same issue but Ford refuses to acknowledge this transmission sucks and wants us to cover their incompetence. Would never buy another Ford again.

Transmission has gone out with just over 100,000 and will cost $8,000+ to fix! vehicle is binding/jerking when trying to drive. Online comments appear to indicate Ford is aware of an issue with this vehicle, seems it was not manufactured properly to begin with and consumers were taken advantage of and left in tough circumstances when it fails.

The check engine light repeatedly comes on in my vehicle and despite expensive repairs and multiple trips to the mechanic, the problem is recurring. It has now been determined that there is a coolant intrusion into the engine block and the only resolution is to replace the engine block in its entirety which will cost thousands of dollars. This is a known issue with the Ford ecoboost engine and a known failure.

The transmission on my 2022 Ford Edge is experiencing premature failure at approximately 81,000 miles. The vehicle exhibits repeated harsh jerking during acceleration, most notably at approximately 15–20 mph and occasionally around 40 mph. Additionally, the vehicle has experienced intermittent failure to engage in reverse. When reverse does engage, it sometimes does so with a sudden and forceful jerk. These issues create a safety concern due to unpredictable vehicle behavior, especially in low-speed traffic, parking situations, and when reversing. The hesitation and harsh engagement could increase the risk of a crash or injury. The vehicle now requires a full transmission replacement.

2019 Ford Edge sel powertrain failure at 69,120 miles.

2019 Ford Edge shudders and fails to accelerate making it difficult and unsafe to merge with traffic, execute left turns, and drive safely. There are no warning lights. This appears to be a known problem with the torque converter but no recall has been issued.

I have a 2019 Ford Edge VIN: [xxx] . My torque converter is going out and my warranty company doesn't want to replace because they say it was a pre existing issue. I know there are a lot of people with this same exact problem and I know there is an investigation into the problem. I need to know if there is any way this can be added to the recall list so I don't have to pay for this out of pocket. The dealership I bought this from knew about the problem and cleared all codes before they sold me the vehicle. I bought an exteded warranty through endurance and I waited until after the 1000 mile and 30 day wait before filing any claim and they don't want to fix it. My name is [xxx] and my contact information is [xxx] . My email is [xxx] . Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

While traveling the car begins lurching and jerking until it reaches 40 mph, at that seed it resumes traveling smoothly. As soon as it slows down the lurching and jerking resume. We have taken it to a dealership, and they claim it is the transmission. The problem started approximately 2 months ago at 74,000 miles.

Check engine light came on for a power train malfunction. The problem is a failing torque converter or its control (tcc) causing transmission shudder 65,000 miles.

Torque converter clutch stuck, clutch material in the transmission fluid. The vehicle hesitates upon takeoff. Once I'm up to a cruising speed, it goes away.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle shuddered. There was an abnormal thud coming from the engine compartment. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the rpm was fluctuating and the engine revved while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the torque converter and the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the dealer advised that the failure was a known failure and that there was a technical service bulletin number: 25-2154 that detailed the repair. The contact was advised by the dealer that a full transmission replacement was denied by the manufacturer, and that only the torque converter was replaced. The vehicle was partially repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle started shuddering and shaking while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,500.

Vehicle started shuddering. Year is a 2022 so less than 5 years old. My son and I both drive this vehicle and the car starts to slow and jerk making it unsafe to drive. Taken vehicle to many shops who could not find the problem. Finally took it to Ford and they confirmed the torque converter is failing. I bought this vehicle because I thought it would be a safe family vehicle and boy was I wrong. Please make this right. I've done my research and I've seen many complaints about this same exact problem. Noone in this current economy has 11,000 to put into a vehicle I still have 6 years to pay on. This vehicle is new and should not need a new transmission.

The transmission keeps shuddering and jerking at low speeds. I have problems driving behind school buses or any slow moving vehicle. The vehicle has a problem when merging onto highways and loses acceleration power due to jerking. I have spoken to 3 separate Edge owners who all have the same problem. Some of us can't afford the repairs but these vehicles are still being sold with this known problem.

Shudder when automatic transmission shifts. Long lag time when vehicle accelerates after throttle is engaged. Can feel and hear knock every time throttle is engaged and disengaged.

Transmission shuddering at low speeds. Losing acceleration getting on to highway. Hard shifting and slippage.

Transmission is jerking & shuddering TSB 21-2389 and 21-2081 however mine isn’t recalled yet and needs immediate attention it’s doing the exact same.

I am reporting an ongoing and concerning issue with my 2022 Ford Edge. My vehicle has begun hesitating when pressing the accelerator and jerking or skipping, mainly when going from cruising/coasting to accelerating. Some days the issue is worse than others, but it has progressively made the vehicle feel unsafe to drive. At times, it feels as though the vehicle may break down while driving on the interstate in heavy city traffic with my child. After researching this issue, I have found that many other 2022 Ford Edge owners are experiencing the same symptoms, with the torque converter frequently identified as the cause. We had it scanned for codes even though nothing was showing up on the dashboard, and a code of u2107-68 came up, which doesn't make sense. This appears to be a widespread and recurring problem rather than an isolated incident. 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 2022 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. My family appreciates your review.

Transmission fluid leak/fire risk (recall 20s49): certain 2020 Edge models have missing or loose bolts on the start/stop accumulator endcap, which can cause a leak and increase the risk of fire. Rearview camera failure (recall 20v572000): a common issue where the rear camera may display a blank or distorted image, failing to comply with safety standards. Driveshaft seizure (recall 21s43): a potential lack of lubrication in the rear drive unit can cause it to seize, leading to loss of drive and vehicle control. Inoperable hvac blower motor: a potential defect causing the blower motor to fail, which can hinder windshield defrosting. Power train alert not going into park break light issue.

Unknown.

Torque converter failure caused a transmission rebuilt covered under the 5 year 75,000 mile warranty. Approximately 14 months later it failed again this time Ford wants me to pay for their incompetence upwards of $5000 because it is past the 5 years. This is a major ongoing problem with the Ford Edge and should be subjected to a recall because the failure rate is so high.

The transmission failed, yes it’s available for inspection. The car stopped while I was driving putting my life at risk to get into a crash with other vehicles. Yes it’s been confirmed by an independent auto shop. It has not been inspected by manufacturer, police or insurance. Insurance says it’s not covered so they didn’t give it the time of day to inspect. No warnings that I knew of.

Vehicle has 78000 miles on it and has started to stutter/struggle to find gears between what I believe to be 3rd and 5th gear. It generally happens between 25-40 mph. This has consistently happened whether the vehicle is cold or warm. This, according to many forums I’ve seen, is a common issue with this model of vehicle and transmission. It was brought into my local Ford dealership on 2/17/2026 with approximately 75000 miles on it and they told us we are in need of a transmission replacement.

My vehicle is a 2020 Ford Edge sel. I am experiencing ongoing transmission shuddering, jerking, and rpm fluctuations during normal driving. At slow speeds, the vehicle jerks and shudders, making it very difficult to drive smoothly in traffic and when accelerating from a stop. At higher speeds, the rpm gauge jumps while driving, and the vehicle feels like it is slipping or shifting unpredictably. The condition has been getting worse over time. This problem matches the known defect described in Ford technical service bulletin (TSB) 20-2081 related to transmission shudder. My vehicle’s year, make, and model match those affected by this known issue; however, my VIN is not included in any recall. The unpredictable jerking, shuddering, and rpm fluctuations create unsafe driving conditions, especially when merging into traffic, turning, or maintaining speed. I believe this is a widespread defect affecting the safe operation of the vehicle and should be investigated by NHTSA for a potential recall. I am submitting this complaint to request that this defect be reviewed for investigation and corrective action.

The transmission/torque converter completely failed after being maintained while driving on the highway without any warning. The transmission began jerking and bucking, almost sending me into the oncoming lane while driving. Coupled with the lane departure avoidance system automatically turning my wheel, the vehicle became uncontrollable. Even though I removed my foot from the gas an tried braking, the transmission would not disengage for a few seconds causing me to almost lose control of the vehicle. Then the transmission just gave out and I was unable to pull off some where safe without issue. There were no warnings on the vehicle, no lights, nothing signaled an issue until after I was able to get the car to stop at the side of the road. The vehicle had to be towed due to not being able to drive at all. It has been inspected and I have been told the transmission just completely went out, possibly due to a leak in the linkage I was not aware of, and was not caught during my last inspection/ fluid change. Multiple items failed on the vehicle including the recently recalled back up camera/sensor issue that I was never advised about by the manufacturer.

While driving on the highway the vehicle lost all power and it completely shutdown which was very scary. There was never any warning lights on dashboard and was told it was probably due to bad gasoline. Now the cruise control is shutting off an long with hesitation. Again no warning lights. Ford dealership said it was the spark plugs and coils, wanted to charge me $800! local mechanic ran a diagnostics confirmed it is the torque converter…alot of confusion with Ford diagnostic . This is a huge safety issue when driving in traffic, is very expensive and needs to be addressed.
