I bought a 2021 Ford Edge sel in April 2024. I had problems with the car jurking at low speeds pretty much the whole time I had it. I just recently had to replace my transmission due to the whole thing failing. It just randomly went out while driving.

Accelerated from a stop sign and engine cut out, leaving me stopped dead in the middle of the street, the engine would not restart after 4 tries, I let it sit, I googled the incident, and was told to let car sit for a minute and try to restart. I let it sit for a minute and it restarted like nothing happened. Google said there was a sensor fault because of an error temperature reading in the crank position sensor, so the car shut down to protect the engine. I think this could have been a dangerous situation, if there had been traffic. The temperature gauge read normal.

When started vehicle shook violently. Check engine light came on and we took the vehicle to two different mechanics. Both stated engine failure do to coolant intrusion. Needed to replace long block and quoted at least $7000 in repairs. This has been a known issue with these motors yet no recall has been issued. We also contacted our local Ford dealer and they also said we needed a new motor. We reached out to Ford for assistance in covering the cost and were told there was nothing they could do for us. This is our childs school car and I do not feel safe with her driving even to and from school. We have been the owners for 2 years. 2018 Ford Edge titanium 2. 0 ecoboost engine. 120k miles.

The vehicle has experienced transmission issues. I received a powertrain malfunction light in August, and the car suddenly had trouble shifting in low gears resulting in jerking. When driving, it continued to have issues. Then, it wouldn't go into reverse and the jerking increased before having it towed to get evaluated. There were no signs and it appears that many of these transmissions are reported to have issues.

Vehicle losing acceleration when a small incline is needed after a stop. Engine will rev up but it will not move. Putting vehicle in to park and turning it off and back on again does a small reset and starts moving again. Over the last few months this event has happened multiple times until roughly around 2 months ago it will not move at all. Check engine light is on and code saying "transmission not in park" when you put it in reverse and neutral and drive and sport. Called dealership and they don't pick up the vehicle and want to charge me 180. 00 just to diagnose it.

I bought my Edge new in 2020. 3 years into owning the car had the transmission replaced on 8/23 due to mechanical/component failures. This was replaced under the original warranty of the car. The new transmission carried a 2 year unlimited warranty. I started having trouble again with the transmission August 1, 2026. 3 years after the new transmission. Took it to the Ford dealer to have them diagnose the problem. They could not pinpoint the exact issue so I was given a choice of replacing the valve body for $2,000. Not guaranteed to fix the problem. Or have them break the transmission down for $2100 and diagnose the problem. But this did not included reassembly. So I opted to get a 2nd opinion. Took my Edge to cotterman in louisville, ky and had them run a diagnoses. They confirmed that I had internal component failures and that the transmission needed to be replaced. I was quoted $8,198. The car books for $4,000. This vehicle is available for inspection. The problem has been confirmed by a dealer and another servicer. My vehicle never gave a transmission code. No warnings. It had to be scanned to find those codes. It did however give a no park available code on August 1st when I pulled in my driveway when I tried to put it in park. It shuddered and died when it gave this code. I don't understand why a 2020 vehicle needs a third transmission. Neither transmission have lasted to a 100,000 miles. I have found numerous articles and this is apparently a well known issue with these transmissions. With my experience the transmissions appear to have a 3 year life - no more.

Shudder at low speed gear. Changes.

The car is 8 years old, well maintained and has mileage of @ 57,000 miles. The "engine check" lighted up in July 2026. Initial check simply required a replacement of spark plug and ignition coil. It was done immediately. However, the engine check light that initially disappeared returned 2 weeks after. When brought to a Ford dealer, the diagnostic is tsb22-2229 (coolant intrusion in the engine). I was quoted to replace then engine by Ford at the cost of $13,000 or trade it in for $2,500!!! I read many reports of engine stall/overheating due to this problem, and it has become a major safety issue specially that this issue is proven to be a legally established engine design flaw. I do not recall that Ford, over the years, properly inform users of this coolant intrusion into the engine. As I saw safety incidents report regarding this, I made the decision to report this given that I belong to the apparent @500,000 Ford vehicles affected by this. The engine check was on and off and I could have been into a major accident, not knowing the engine can possibly stall while on a high speed. Seeking your help and attention as I believe this is a safety recall that Ford should have done years ago. Ford Edge continues to be traded in the secondary market. Kindly think those who may purchase this vehicle without knowing the engine has safety issues with coolant intrusion.

Was to be paid off in September and give our family some financial relief ,but the very end of July the transmission went in this car is what Ford told me. They forgot to mention that the motor was about to go as well. We paid 60,000 in payments. To get screwed over by my local Ford! we had just left canada wonderland on the 400 series in canada. My car completely died. We were able to coast to side of the road. Tried to start it but it would only go a tiny bit not enough to get us home so there we are stranded on the side of the highway, because Ford didn't want to admit that the Edge was a complete flop. We bought this brand new. It's a catastrophic failure they know this. Toyota offered us 800. 00 ?? ??. I did sell it privately and was told that the motor was gone in it as well. Good job Ford get me to be in for each problem.

I was experiencing shuddering, hard shifting, and jerking while driving my vehicle. I brought it into the shop and was told my transmission was bad. I was quoted $7500 for a re-built transmission, labor and reprogramming. My vehicle has 97,000 miles on but it isn't worth putting that kind of money into. I purchased my 2019 Ford Edge new and have been the only owner. I have maintained my vehicle, taken very good care of it an done all maintenance when suggested. It certainly should go further than 97,000 miles. I am extremely disappointed - - especially now after doing some research and found out that the 2019 Ford Edge is "known" for transmission issues but Ford has done nothing about it. Shame!.

Our 2020 Ford Edge sel has experienced ongoing shuddering and hesitation while driving. The Ford dealership inspected the vehicle and diagnosed the torque converter as the likely cause, recommending approximately $4,500 in repairs. The torque converter has not been replaced and is available for inspection. We obtained a second opinion from an independent repair shop, which replaced the egr sensors and updated them in an attempt to resolve the issue. The problem has created a safety concern because the vehicle does not always accelerate or operate normally while driving. The exact cause remains unknown, and the issue has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives.

My 2021 Ford Edge is experiencing a severe transmission defect. When accelerating between 22 mph and 35 mph, the vehicle hesitates, stumbles, and shudders violently (transmission shudder). The transmission struggles to engage gears properly, causing unexpected jerking and a sudden loss of acceleration power. This behavior creates a dangerous driving hazard when merging into traffic or changing lanes. This issue is consistent with Ford's technical service bulletin (TSB 21-2092) regarding the 8f35 8-speed automatic transmission.

Our Edge titanium had been experiencing intermittant hesitation and shuttering on acceleration and decelleration for 3 or 4 weeks. The car has 105,000 miles on it. During this time frame the spark plugs were changed, the trans fluid was drained and replaced twice and an additive (shutter fix) was put in. The shuttering and hesitation was becoming more frequent despited completing all of the reccomendations from a local mechanic. On xxx my wifte was diving home, when he slowed down to exit the hwy to enter the subdivision, the transmission just disengauged and an erro code appeared p07e6. (stuck in park) service soon. She had enough momentum to barely exit off [xxx], if there was on coming traffic she would have been a sitting duck. Se shut the car off and let it sit for a couple of minutes and the restarted it and headed the 2 blocks home. I immediatly took it to the dealer. The got the code and said it indicated a park pawl failure. They said it must be sticking and the computer thought you were in park when you were driving so it shut things down. The dealer says he has had to replace several of these 8 speed transmissions at an out the door price of $11,000. He says if he can rebuild it, it might only be $7,500. Most mechanics in spearfish say they have heard there are problems with the 8 speed transmission. I believe failing at 104,000 miles is a sign of a bad product. And this faulty park pawl is a safety hazzard that may get someone killed if it shuts down with on coming traffic. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I have transmission failure at 63,000 miles. Safety issue because it won't accelerate without shuttering could cause an accident. I have a Ford dealer email and repair order.

I have contacted several Ford service departments seeking repair of my defective 8f35 transmission. A diagnosis for which I paid $215 indicates a new planetary gearset and torque converter, along with miscellaneous small parts, are required. The repair quotation is $4,531. Although my car is now post-warranty, I believe full coverage is appropriate for two reasons: 1) this problem was first reported to and serviced by a Ford dealership while the factory powertrain warranty was in force. The dealer performed TSB 21-2389, a software reload, which provided only temporary resolution; 2) this is a well-known and well-documented factory defect involving the needle bearings in the planetary gearset. Failure of these bearings releases particulate into the fluid which then damages the torque converter. Based on the quotation, I requested and received help from Ford's financial goodwill assistance program, but only 40% of the total cost. To obtain a higher amount requires the assistance of the service manager and others within the Ford hierarchy, but they are not interested in helping. Service departments I have dealt with successfully on previous occasions are not touching this 8f35 problem. My cynical side suspects something nefarious is happening behind the scenes, and satisfactory resolution will require a mandatory recall be issued by NHTSA.

At low speed, the transmission does not shift smoothly. Upon further acceleration past 40 mph, it continues to operate in normal fashion.

<67,000 miles engine needs rebuilt. Available for inspection. Safety - possible cause of accident or at least having one. Has been confirmed by 2 local mechanics but has not been inspected by manufacturer. In October 2025, the check engine light came on, we took it to our mechanic; he replaced the coil pack and spark plugs ($342. 89 see enclosed). It was good for a few months. Then approximately April 2026 the check engine light came back on and the overheating light came on. We filled the coolant and it was ok for a month or so. This July (2026) driving down the highway on my way home the car started jerking and jolting and the check engine light started flashing. It was nearly impossible to drive. I got it home by coasting and dealing with the shaking in short spurts and pulling over off the road when cars were coming. The mechanic has now informed us that the whole motor needs replaced.

Car is running rough white smoke from exhaust and coolant level reservoir losing coolant.

The torgue converted failed and is throwing metal into the transmission.

The transmission has been serviced regularly. It is starting to jerk at lower speeds. I have had two auto mechanics from different shops and locations inspect the transmission. Both have found shaved metal in the transmission fluid. After a call to two different Ford dealerships, the auto mechanics were informed that it is a problem with these transmissions, but Ford has not issued a recall. If I have to replace the transmission, I will be contacting an attorney for assistance. There have been no warning lights or alarms indicating that there are problems with the transmission. Because there are no warning lights on the dashboard, it has been hard to diagnose the actual problem. Of course, I am approximately 6000 miles over the extended warranty. At the time I took the car to the shop, the mileage was 79,465.

Hesitation with shifting when driving at low speeds. The powertrain control system has detected one of the transmission clutches did not apply within the expected time as expected. Some transmission gears may not being available resulting in delayed or harsh shifts into another gear.

I was on a highway going 75 and my car just slowed down and I was in front of a semi truck then the gears wouldn’t shift I was stalled in that lane everything else worked but the gears wouldn’t shift into place I got it in neutral and pushed it to the side.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the power train warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was taken to autozone, where diagnostic trouble code: b41-49 was retrieved, indicating an electronic brake failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle. Upon driving a short distance, the transmission park warning light illuminated, and the transmission independently shifted to park(p). The contact stated that the vehicle was inoperable. The dealer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact researched the failure and became aware that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 22v413000 (power train) in December 2025. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the recall repair was completed in December 2025. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not currently covered under a recall and was referred to the NHTSA hotline to report the safety failure. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.

I own a 2020 Ford Edge st with approximately 62,460 miles. My vehicle has developed a loud noise coming from the rear differential, particularly when turning at low speeds. On July 6, 2026, I had the vehicle inspected by my independent mechanic, kenny's quick service. Ford motor company has not inspected my vehicle. My mechanic documented the following: "customer has a noise in the rear of vehicle. Checked vehicle and found noise in rear differential, when turning at low speeds. Checked fluid and fluid is not at proper level, differential could possibly come apart. Differential needs to be replaced. " based on this inspection, my mechanic advised me not to continue driving the vehicle because of the condition of the rear differential. I was advised that if the differential completely fails, the vehicle could stop moving and potentially create a dangerous situation, including the possibility of an accident. The vehicle is currently not being driven because of this safety concern. This issue concerns me because Ford previously issued safety recall 21s02 involving certain 2020-2021 Ford Edge vehicles and a low-fluid condition in the rear drive unit. According to the recall information, inadequate lubrication could cause the rear drive unit to seize, resulting in loss of drive and/or loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash. My vehicle is a 2020 Ford Edge st, but my VIN is not included in the 21s02 recall. Despite not being included in the recall, my independent mechanic has now diagnosed a rear differential problem involving an improper fluid level and a condition requiring replacement of the differential. The similarity between the recalled condition and the condition diagnosed in my vehicle concerns me greatly. The estimated cost to replace the rear differential has been verbally stated to be approximately $3,000 to $5,000. I have not yet received a formal written repair estimate. I have contacted Ford motor company regarding this issue. Ford opened.

My wife was driving her 2019 Ford Edge titanium when the transmission started to shudder and clunk. Then the car completely shutdown in the middle of a busy intersection. This transmission failure at such a low mileage (less than 70,000 miles) is unacceptable and the risk of losing control of the car poses a safety concern.
