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.

I have a 2019 Ford Edge Se with just over 64,000 miles on it. For the past few months the car has not been driving smoothly. When the issue first started I took the car to the dealership where it was purchased brand new. They had a 2 month waiting list for the car to be looked at. Now the car is out of warranty by less then 300 miles. The dealership has had my car for over a week to look at it. After many calls and text with the service department they will begin work this week. The issue with the Car is it jerks when switching gears most of the time. Mostly noticed between 2nd & 3rd AND 3rd & 4th gears. The car isn't throwing any code and no warning lights are on and up to date on oil changes and has brand new tires. The car is very well maintained and the Ford app says it's in excellent condition. Even though it's not. Ford diagnosed I need a new torque converter. $4,714.38 later. I was reading on line this is a common problem with this make, model, and mileage and Ford hasn't done anything about the. The service department acted surprised. I have only driven ford's I have a [XXX] husband and a young child who also ride in this car everyday. Something needs to be done.

Transmission failure- misdiagnosed 5x, twice diagnosed as failed torque converter. Causes safety issues on the road when driving speeds 20-40mph. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by Ford dealership. Ford Motor Co is aware of the issues which resulted in the need for an entire transmission replacement. No warning lights appeared, the drive style changed drastically with severe shuddering from 20-30mph and then increasing from 20-40mph as time went on. Ford replaced the torque converter once, and the issue came back within 13 months of a brand new torque converter.

Vehicle is a 2019 Ford Edge SEL Ecoboost. Service Engine light illuminated. Trouble code (DTC) reported is P0741 indicating the Torque Converter is stuck. Online research indicated this is a commonly reported problem described in Ford SSM 49345. This was confirmed by a local transmission specialist (AAMCO). My vehicle is low miles (42k) but 4 months out of the 5 year powertrain warranty. The problem has not yet been repaired. [XXX] Left unrepaired, the issue can cause a full transmission failure. If driving at high speeds when such a failure is detected the car can go into "limp mode" (a sudden slow down of max speed) which could be dangerous to the driver and other motorists during highway driving.

Hundreds of others are experiencing the same issue, and not having it repaired due to cost. Vehicle is at 89k miles, and does is unwilling to work with consumers.

Box 6248 Dearborn, MI 48126 We've purchased several used Fords growing up and loved them and found them to be reliable like your Commercials and Mission Statements claims: Ford Motor Company's mission statement is "to help build a better world where people can move freely and pursue their dreams". The company's core values are "put people first", "do the right thing", "create tomorrow", "play to win", "be curious", "built Ford tough", and "one Ford". So we decided to purchase our very first BRAND NEW Ford Edge vehicle on [XXX] at Ford Auto Nation, not knowing we were sold a lemon. We do all necessary maintenance to all vehicles to avoid costly expenses. We started noticing some shuddering and took the vehicle to FORD but they wanted $200 for diagnosis and would not apply to repairs. Upon taking the vehicle to 2 local Auto Repair Shops on 12/2023 to 01/2024 they used the computerized diagnostic tool/On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system and could not collect any data from sensors and stating Zero Trouble Codes (DTCs) were generated. 1 mechanic recommended we change spark plugs and do other maintenance for $350 that would be used for later repairs Unfortunately issue remains. They wanted to hold on to the car for another week to do further inspections. Instead, I chose to take to FORD. [XXX] FORD charges $200 for Diagnose (Receipt Attached) and does not apply to the repairs. After the 1st week without any status update via several texts and calls, and not getting any updates. I was finally advised that the Transmission was shot and expected to pay $7K. My heart fell.

Between speeds of 20 miles per hour and 40 miles per hour, the car shudders and shakes. The Ford dealership has admitted that there is an issue with the transmission such that it will need to be replaced, and they have seen this same problem in multiple vehicles of same make, model and year. Although there has apparently been an internal Technical Service Bulletin related to this issue; the vehicle has not been recalled for this issue even though the recommended software fix from the bulletin does not work.

my 2019 Ford Edge EcoBoost has 51,000 miles and when shifting gears the car starts to jerk. The dealership did a reprogram on this issue and now it is even worse. I am not sure what is going on with these vehicles but this seems to be a known problem where they are replacing transmissions and torque converters and it does not fix the problem.
