Transmission failed due to issue with planetary gear. According to the mechanics, this is not a part that can be accessed or maintained by the consumer. Yet the entire transmission is shot because of it. Cost to repair is $12,000. Ford is paying $5,000. Shouldn't they pay more since it's a defective part? I see reports of transm…

I see reports of transmission issues across Ford Edge models.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle shut down. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the dealer refused to diagnose the vehicle and provided the contact an estimate for the repair. The contact stated the air conditioner and catalytic converter also had failed to operate as designed. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic for the repair. The contact stated that the purge valve and spark plugs were replaced, and an oil change was performed. After the vehicle was repaired, the contact stated while depressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle hesitated to respond. The vehicle was inspected by another independent mechanic at the residence, and it was diagnosed and determined that the spark plugs and ignition coil needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

Vehicle started making a repetitive "rubbing" noise and I smelled something burning, but unlike burnt rubber, it was a burning smell I've never encountered before. I was going about 35mph at the time this began. Within about 500ft, I slowed down as I approached an intersection and the vehicle stalled just as I was entering the intersection. There were no warning lights. I put it in park and attempted to restart it a couple times with no luck, then the third time I pressed and held the button, and it took about 4 seconds to start (seemed to struggle). On another occasion, I had just filled up my tank at a gas station, started my car, drove about 10 feet, then the car stalled. This time it restarted without issue. The dealership was unable to duplicate the problem, they were willing to try again after I explained that recall 20S49 sounded similar to the problem I was having, but I didn't end up leaving my car with them because of the cost of the diagnosis and loaner car. I believe my VIN should have been recalled, as there is clearly something wrong, but since it is not in the system as a recall and I don't have the money to troubleshoot it, I am planning to sell the car to Ford, as I cannot, in good conscience, sell to a private buyer when I believe the vehicle may stall. I figure if I sell to Ford, it puts the liability of the defect back in their hands, where it belongs.

A transmission shop says the whole thing needs to be replaced because Ford uses cheaper parts on the transmission. Total cost will be $8,000. For a car with low miles. Online forums shows a lot of people have the same issues. Can they be forced to recall these?? Or help me pay for mine to be fixed?

In May of 2024 Transmission downshifting hard at 35 mph as slowing down car milage was 67529. Took to dealer who performed diagnostics and verified a transmission problem; inspected fluid which was okay, performed TSB and reprogrammed PCM and reinstalled transmission strategy in module. Repairs done under warranty. Perform adaptive learn and noted it will feel different while driving for next few hundred miles. Six months later in November of 2024 transmission would hesitate, shudder, jerk between 20-40 mph and car mileage was 75937. Took back to dealer who did diagnostics, monitor PIDS and found the torque converter has failed causing shutter and also found the vehicle is flair shifting between gears. Checked fluid level and proper level is in transmission but fluid has meta debris. Dealer Service Representative advised it needs new transmission and would cost $800 or more to fix problem. Warranty expired at 72000 miles. We bought car new and had dealer perform all maintenance procedures and oil changes, etc. as noted in required maintenance schedule. We asked to speak with Service Manager who we saw in her office and we were told we'd need to make an appointment in late December or early January. We got no help from dealer or manufacturer, despite several technical service bulleting available at NHTSA showing transmission problems with 2019 Ford Edge. We finally got rid of the car but would say Ford Edges have definite transmission issues that may indicate a need for recall.

2019 Ford Edge Titanium Rear Lift Gate Glass Shatters. The rear lift gate glass of a 2019 Ford Edge Titanium shattered by simply and normally closing the driver side door without warning or symptoms. There was no impact of any object with the lift gate glass. Rear glass defogging heat was not on at the time. This rendered the vehicle unsafe to drive and cost the owner roughly $1000 to repair. It was not inspected by the manufacturer, but repairs were made by an authorized Ford Dealer. Local news channel ran a news story piece on similar occurrences, so it is believed this is not a random occurrence.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S72.
