After 60,0000 miles the car started having engine problems, and Ford told us that it would need a new transmission and Engine. When asked about the warranty they said there is none (Purchased car new from Ford). In doing research we noticed that there where similar issues for previous year models of the Edge.

I purchased the vehicle in June 2023 and have barely put 2000 miles on it. I-??m 8/21 I noticed white smoke coming out of both exhausts when I started the vehicle. I drove about 1 mile before power train default light came on and it began idling extremely rough. I tried to take it to the dealer the next day and it continued overheating and shutting down. It-??s outside of the dealer standard warranty and the purchased extended warranty doesn-??t even cover the EGR leak. So a car purchased 2 months ago is now costing us $1600 to repair

I bought a brand new 2019 Ford Edge with 11 miles. I have serviced it regularly with no issues. On 11/8/2022, I was sitting at a stop light and had the automatic start/stop mode engaged when another car rear ended me at high impact while they were on a cell phone. It did extensive rear damage. Including needing new exhaust system. When driving my vehicle to the Ford collision center, I noticed a jerking motion when going from stop or slow mode to start. They diagnosed it as a torque converter and stated I needed a new transmission. When filing with insurance it wasn-??t covered because Ford stated they couldn-??t confirm it was accident related. 1st-?? it coincided with accident and written documents support the filed complaint when brought straight from accident. Documentation also supports regular services and no issues as late as three weeks prior to accident. I inquired to rear impact causing gears to shift or slip while in the auto start/ stop mode? No one could answer my question. My car was at 70,000 miles at the time of the accident. I feel that this is something to look into and consider. This impact did in fact cause some issue with the transmission slipping and has something to do with the Siri start stop mode. No brand new regularly serviced vehicle should need a new transmission at 70,000 miles.

While driving under 35 mph car shudders, goes up and down to 300 rpms. Car has 45,650 miles, it started around a year ago but not as noticeable but now has increasingly gotten worse. Car is scheduled to go in monday, june 12. After speaking with other owners of same model, they had same issue and claim ford does a reprogramming of the transmission but it doesn't seem to work that they returned to end up having transmission being replaced. I will follow up with documentation after my service.

I took my car in to have it serviced after I noticed it shuddering when accelerating. Mostly at a lower speed, 1st-3rd gear. I am now being told that I have to have the torque converter replaced which is going to cost me around $4700. This is from the Ford dealership by the way. My vehicle is right at 70k miles so something like this should not be broken already. After doing some research it appears that a lot of other 2019 Ford Edges are having the same issues due to bad transmission fluid at the time of production. I think that there should be a recall done so that people can get the transmission flushed and filled with new fluid, or get help paying for the converter to be replaced. And of course, my power train warranty ran out on it on 5/19/23.

Edge was running fine first trip of the day. Second trip, it lurched several times when placing it in drive. Drove to a gas station, filled tank, car barely got out of the parking lot and on to a busy street before transmission failed. Took it to a repair shop who states it needs a new transmission. 2019 Edge with under 90,000. Bought used 3 months ago.

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.

When driving my vehicle at speeds between 23 and 32 the transmission chugs like it can't decide which gear to be in, so it is always shifting between gears. I've talked to the local dealer and they can't figure it out, telling me that there isn't anything wrong with it instead of checking with Ford or other dealers. This has been an on going problem since I leased it, in 2019, and then bought it Sept. 2022.

Was driving vehicle at 45 mph but once the vehicle slowed down to under 25 mph it would start sputtering. Drove about a half a mile and engine light came on stating Engine Coolant Over Temperature. I pulled immediately over into the emergency lane and turned car off. There was thick clouds of smoke rolling out of the exhaust pipes. Even under the hood was some smoke. Once vehicle stopped smoking so badly I opened the hood. I checked the oil and smoke could be seen coming from the oil stick. Looking at the coolant reservoir, it seemed to be empty. I had just had the fluids looked at a week prior to this! Called Ford Roadside Assistance and was told it would be upto 3 hours before a tow truck could arrive. I was on a heavy traffic highway in northern virginia with a child. I called a local tow truck driver who came in about an hour. I paid 300 to have it towed to my home town 74 miles away. Then was told by Criswell Ford they could not get to my vehicle for weeks since they had 1 mechanic. Had it towed again by Ford to Marlow Ford. They claim the EGR Cooler failed per technical service bulletin but states no engine damage. I cannot believe this didn't cause engine damage with extreme Temps. Where did the coolant go to? I have 42,500 miles on engine and still owe 12k. No vehicle should be doing this. They recalled the Edge from previous years with this issue. Why don't they uphold all years that this egr cooler is failing and not just do a service bulletin. I'm afraid the engine has damage to the intake and will show its ugly self once warranty is no longer at 5/60k. Any help would be appreciated.
