Got DTC codes P0741 and P1744 from our 2018 Ford Edge on 12/27/23. Mileage was just under 66K (powertrain warranty expired not long ago). Took the vehicle to the local Ford dealer in Ridgecrest, CA. Estimate to repair was approximately $7000. This would entail a complete transmission rebuild. Shocked as I was at this high cost, I took the vehicle (it still drove fine, RPMs seemed a little higher than normal at highway speed no doubt due to Torque Converter Clutch failing to lock up) to an AAMCO shop in the nearest town, Lancaster (85 miles distant). They charged $1000 to diagnose the problem, and their estimate was about $7500 to rebuild the transmission in one week, or replace with remanufactured transmission in 2-4 weeks. Not wanting to get a third estimate somewhere else, and with $1000 already spent that could be applied to the final bill, I authorized AAMCO to rebuild the transmission. Took two weeks to get the car back. Total cost, with rental car (two weeks), was about $8000.

I loved our Ford Edge very much.....until this problem happened. Great family car....until it broke down.

Check engine light with code p0741- transmission sol off. The money I "saved" buying certified pre-owned wasn't worth it. I will never buy another FORD!!!! My last Edge blew the engine at 150,000 mi. I bought this car - a Ford Edge Titanium with 40,000 mi CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED. After getting a new engine in this car at 90,000 mi. Twelve thousand miles later, they tell me I need to replace the transmission to the tune of $8K. If I hadn't had the extended warranty to cover the engine, this would cost me more than a really nice luxury car to replace the engine and transmission!!!!! $25,000 + engine replace + $8000 all to have a vehicle for 62000 mi. It is like this is a disposable car. - I am not putting any more money into this faulty vehicle. What's the salvage value on a car with no engine and no transmission? I will not waste any more money on this car.
