I own a 2019 Ford Edge SEL with 80,000 miles on it. A couple of months ago I started noticing a jerking, bucking while driving between 25 to 40 miles per hour. It acted like it was trying shift gears but was having issues getting into the next gear. I had it checked at my local repair shop that has worked on this vehicle in the past. At that time, they told me to continue to drive it and monitor the shifting problems. I did and yesterday I took it back and that time they diagnosed as a bad torque convertor and that I needed a new/rebuilt transmission at approximately $8,800.00. After doing some research online, Ford owner's websites, I was surprised to see how many people the same problem and how little Ford have was helping. This is NOT an owner's problem, this is a Ford problem and should be corrected by Ford. It's poor quality and could lead to accidents and perhaps injuries. I would like you to require Ford to stand behind their products and repair/reimburse owners for any and all problems with this model. Thank you

The contact’s wife owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked when the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle lost power. The check engine, power train, and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the wastegate was stuck closed in the turbocharger valve, and the turbocharger valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred four months later while driving at an undisclosed speed. The contact stated that during the failure, the vehicle lost power and failed to accelerate as intended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic again where it was diagnosed that the wastegate was stuck closed again, and turbo turbocharger valve needed to be replaced. On another occasion, the contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, his wife observed white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The contact stated that his wife then observed that the EGR and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The message "Engine Overheating” was displayed. The vehicle was steered off the highway and restarted three times after cooling down and was taken back to the same independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the EGR valve had failed, the coolant level was low, and there was coolant passing through the exhaust EGR coolant system and had leaked into the exhaust system. The contact was informed that the EGR system needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,654.

Jerks when accelerating. Does not accelerate properly when accelerating from a stopped position. Reactions times slower due to the torque converter. FORD has diagnosed it as the torque converter. There are forums online stating this exact problem with other 2019 Edges.

During normal driving conditions in stop and go traffic the engine coolant over-temperature warning message displayed on the dashboard. Also, for a couple days prior to this incident, the vehicle exhibited hesitation when attempting to accelerate, and the engine was very close to stalling multiple times. There wear no other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The vehicle was towed to a local Ford dealership, where it was confirmed the issue was related to existing TSB 20-2234 (2.0L EcoBoost - Illuminated MIL With Various DTCs And/Or Low Coolant Level, White Smoke From Tailpipe And/Or External Coolant Leak), and repairs were completed.

While driving on the highway my Ford Edge starting shuttering/sputtering when I gave the vehicle gas. I went to the car dealer and they recommended changing the spark plugs. The car still sputtered and started getting worst when ever I gave the vehicle gas. Even at 30 - 40 mph the car sputtered. I took the car to the dealership today, April 9, 2025 and was told there was an issue with the "Torque Converter". I googled this and found a Ford Forum and found other people having the same issue. Some and issue with the cost of repair, some could not find the part, some with concerns of why no recall, and some with concerns getting issue fixed and it breaking down again. I ask that you investigate this issue, request a recall, and a secondary insurance if it breaks again after getting repaired.

Last year I paid $2000 to fix an Exhaust Gas Recirculation Cooler. There is a current TSB on this issue. The car overheated. They claim it’s not covered under the drive train warranty. Now a year later, my torque converter is bad and they are quoting me $4000 to fix. This is a 2019 model year with 61,000 miles. Im certain that one problem led to the other. They refused to fix the EGR cooler under warranty because i was one month over the 5 years, even though we purchased it in July - their warranty starts when the car hits the dealers lot.
