2019 Ford Edge has the same 2.0 liter eco boost 240PS that’s currently involved in the class action lawsuit. The problem is that the coolant sleeve is too close to the toy he cylinder and failed causing coolant to enter the engine. I was traveling on the interstate and with no warning the hot engine light came on and engine shut down. The dealer confirmed that the mother need to be replaced with the updated long block that is being put in the 2015 - 2018 Ford Edge and the 2017 - 2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape and MKC vehicles. The vehicle only has 75000 miles on it and has never towed or been used hard. We had the vehicle for less that 15,000 miles and now have a completely useless vehicle. Ford refuses to admit any fault even with the engine codes being the exact same. The 2019 for edge need to be looked into and included with the class action lawsuit for safety and consumer satisfaction.

My 2019 Ford Edge SEL has 37,000 miles and I keep it maintained regularly. We were 2 miles from our house when a loud blaring signal popped on my dashboard that my coolant was very low and at that point the car started "sputtering". We inched it home and sure enough, the coolant was empty. We've had no leaking on the driveway at any time. We filled the coolant reservoir and the message did not go away. We had it towed to our mechanic the next day and he said the engine needed to be replaced!!!! What? NO WARNING!! Now 2 days prior (which was a Friday), my check engine light came on and I could see a white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe and the car hesitated. After a few minutes, that went away. Drove it to work and back - 4 miles each way. The next day it happened again and again it stopped after a few minutes. I drove it maybe 10 miles after that running errands and then parked it for the day. The following day is when it "died". I received no other message or warning until it was too late. We were told by our mechanic that Ford has had numerous complaints on this engine. It is a Turbo on a 4 cylinder. The Turbo part will eventually overwork the 4 cylinder. Of course it is out of warranty. Now I am spending over $6,000 to replace this engine. Why in the world would Ford even install an engine like this in their vehicles? And why are they not recalling them?????? My husband has always had Ford Trucks and Mustangs - We have always been Ford People. I will never buy another Ford - SO DISAPPOINTED!!!!!

Purge flow valve had replaced by Ford Service on 10/5/24. Car wouldn’t start after getting gas. Check engine light came on. Code was Po496. Currently, upon acceleration @15-20 mph car starts jerking, buck, slipping, very hard to go hill. Took to Ford Service for diagnostic on 10/15/24. Told torque converter shuddering on PIDS. Recommend replacing torque converter @ a cost of $5200. Per, reviewing many complaints on this same model & yr many haven’t had success with just replacing torque converter. It doesn’t fix issue. Transmission had to be replaced. Ford does have a TSB 21-2389 that supersedes TSB 21-2081 out. It states cars with 8F35 transmission may have this issue due to the software in the power train control module. Instructing, to reprogram the PCM & the transmission solenoid strategy. After reviewing all complaints on this issue, this solution does not correct problem. I was also told by Ford service; this wouldn’t fix the issue. From what I’ve read the way this transmission is engineered will likely cause it to always do this. Because Ford Frankensteined the 6F35 (previous models) by inserting 2 gears in between existing ones, the transition from 1-2-3 will never be as fluid as 3-4, 4-5, and so on. Basically what is 1-3 on mine (8F35) is 1-2 on a 6F35. This quite frankly is a terrible transmission & only a matter of time before transmission goes completely out & someone gets killed. This year & model has numerous issues not listed here. Seems like as soon as warranty expires problems start popping up. Some issues pop up before warranty expires. This is getting dangerous & very expensive!

We purchased our 2019 Ford Edge Titanium in March of 2022 with 71K miles on it from a local used car dealer. The vehicle was jerky in the lower speeds (up to 40 mph) - best described as if the transmission did not know what gears to go in, so it would jump back and forth, causing uncontrollable hesitations and accelerations - jumping back and forth between gears. The dealer said this was normal for the newer 10 speed transmissions and that it had to learn each new driver. At that time, there weren't reported issues online about these transmissions, so I accepted the dealers explanation as normal. The jerking and jumping between gears got worse and at 91K miles, the vehicle even stopped going in reverse, which made it even more dangerous. We replaced the transmission with another used transmission (believe 18K miles on it) and that one was even worse with the jerkiness and jumping back and forth, so we replaced it with another used transmission (believe 45K miles on it) which is now having the exact same issues. We have 95K miles on our vehicle and are now needing a 3rd transmission replacement. No safety warning lights came up. While it's a big inconvenience with the vehicle being constantly in repair, the bigger issue is the incredible safety issue with the hesitations and jumping in and out of gears, reverse not working, etc. that can put multiple people's lives in danger when the vehicle is not reacting and performing without hesitation. We have had close calls on crashes due to the transmission hesitations and jerky gear shifting and it distracts us from paying attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians. We encourage anyone from NHTSA to contact us to talk through it, inspect the vehicle, and/or talk with our repair shop about these now common faulty transmissions. If bodily injury occurs due to known faulty transmissions, I would file a significant product liability lawsuit against Ford and the transmission manufacturer for their negligence.

Transmission needs repaired/replaced and car doesn't even have 100,000 miles. It appears to be a known issue and Ford is doing nothing about it
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Transit Connect, 2019-2020 MKZ, MKX, Edge, Continental, F-150, Nautilus, Fusion, 2019-2023 Ranger, Mustang, 2020-2021 EcoSport, Expedition, Navigator, 2020-2022 Escape, F-250 SD, Corsair, 2020-2023 Aviator, Transit, 2020-2024 Explorer, 2021-2024 Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or the image may remain on the display after the backing event has ended.
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.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Edge, Transit Connect and Lincoln MKX and 2020 Escape and Lincoln Corsair vehicles. The start/stop accumulator endcap may have missing or loose bolts.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Missing or loose bolts on the start stop accumulator endcap could result in a transmission fluid leak and may progress to a loss of transmission function. A transmission fluid leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of fire.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the start/stop accumulator, free of charge. The recall began September 23, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S49.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Edge vehicles. The driver-side seat belt pretensioner anchor may have been improperly crimped, possibly resulting in the seat belt webbing detaching from the anchor in the event of a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash, seat belt webbing that detaches from the anchor will not properly restrain the driver, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy: Ford has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver's side pretensioner assembly, free of charge. The recall began November 12, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S37.
