the transmission is faulty. Shudders at low speed. $4500 to fix at the dealer. Less than 100k miles on it. We have never had a car with transmission problems and looking at message boards we are not alone. The service advisor at the dealership also told us they have a lot of transmission repairs in line to do. Seems like this vehicle should have been recalled.
My 2019 Ford Edge is at 90,000 miles. The RPMs between 2-3 have been stuttering any time I try to accelerate up to 40 mph and the car has been jumping as if trying to reach the next RPM. I took it to a Ford Dealership and they stated that it was an internal failure in my transmission (cause unknown) and that the transmission would need to be replaced for $10K.
My vehicle is at 72,000 miles and has issues with bucking, shuttering, and jerking at lower speeds. Was told I would need a new torque converter or possibly new transmission. I have no warning lights. The jerking has become more persistent in the last 3 months.
The vehicle would not accelerate and caused my to bump into a wall. The vehicle is spluttering and the interior filled with chemical smoke caused by a coolant leak and it burning by the motor. the 1.5L vehicles are under an extended warrenty because of the EGR cooler malfunctioning. There was zero coolant in the car. The car illuminated malfunction indicator said powertrain malfunction. My car has 62000 miles on it and is no longer covered by warrenty
My car at 90,000 miles started jerking while driving and has stalled. The dealership said I need a new torque converter or transmission. This can fail while driving, stalling out on the road. The dealership inspected the car. No lights or warnings at all.

I, as well as MANY other ford edge owners are having to spend thousands to replace the torque converter that is KNOWN for giving up at any point after 85k miles. For the last 6 months my car has suddered hard when accelerating usually between 30 and 50 mph. No lights come on. No codes have been able to be pulled. After 6 months, I leave my house for work and my engine light immediately comes on stating the car is having powertrain issues leaning towards the torque converter. The shuddering has been an ongoing issue and no one has been able to diagnose it until now. Now I will have to pay thousands just to get this fixed.

Transmission jerks and acts as if it doesn't want to shift into place at speeds between 20-40 MPH. As per Fords protocol had the PCM reprogrammed, but that has not helped. I am being told it is the torque converter, possibly the transmission itself. Apparently this is a common and costly issue with this transmission.
