My 2019 Ford Edge feels like the automatic transmission is slipping upon acceleration from a stop. This happens thru 1st/2nd gear. Sometimes there is a bumping noise underneath. The gas mileage has decreased significantly. I have to be careful when pulling out into traffic as the stalling could cause an accident. I did research online and found a recall (NHTSA Recall ID: 18V390000, 17V42700) which includes 2017-2018 Ford Edges. The recall is for failed torque converter connections. My edge was built 9/2018. I have called the dealership to take the Edge in for service and the serviceman ironically, over the phone, immediately diagnosed the problem as the torque converter. A transmission should last 150,000 to 200,000 miles. I feel my Edge should have fallen into the above mentioned recall.

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.
