2019 Ford Edge

While driving my vehicle on the first day of 2026 at a speed between 20 to 40 mph, I suddenly noticed that the car stopped responding to the gas pedal and would not accelerate. I immediately felt a loss of power. I pulled over to the side of the road, turned the engine off completely, and then restarted it. When I tried to shift into reverse, the car didn’t respond. I switched to Drive, and it moved forward, but a message appeared on the dashboard stating: “Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power.” Shortly after, the check engine light came on. I checked the fault through ford app and the message was “ The powertrain control system has detected one of the transmission shift solenoids is not responding as expected or is stuck in the on position. Some transmission gears may not being available resulting in delayed or harsh shifts into another gear” I left the car parked and had it towed to a local repair shop for diagnosis. The vehicle has not yet reached 57,000 miles. Thankfully, this issue occurred while I was driving at a low speed on a side street. I can’t imagine what could have happened if I had lost power on a highway—it could have led to a serious accident. The problem occurred suddenly, with no prior warning signs. The car is currently being inspected at the shop

While accelerating at points in gear shift change at the speeds of 20 mph, 30 mph, and 40 mph, the transmission bucks, which I found out the hard way during an ice storm, creates a un-smooth shift which leads you spinning the wheels while over accelerating to correct/lessen the bucking making the vehicle less safe and controllable. I work at a Ford dealership and know this issue is happening on Ford/Lincoln models sharing this same transmission with mileage anywhere from 25,000 - 80,000 +.

Vehicle was hesitating when accelerating at slow speeds from 20 to 40 mph. Took it to Lafontaine Ford dealership and they said I had a bad dpfe sensor which was replaced at a cost of $800. There were no engine codes on the dash. Drove the car the following week and still noticed a slight hesitation/stuttering when accelerating. No engine codes again. This time the dealership confirmed through diagnostic testing that the torque converter wasn’t working correctly and needs to be replaced at a cost of $5000. Now I’m wondering whether the first repair was even needed. I have seen where hundreds probably more, dissatisfied customers have experienced the same problem and Ford has done nothing even though there is a class action lawsuit concerning this issue. And Ford wonders why sales are declining. At the very least they should do is have the customer pay for the part and Ford will pay for the labor to install it.

After extensive research, this seems to be a very widespread issue spanning across many years of production. I am experiencing a very sharp/sudden jerk or lurch when accelerating at slower speeds. It is not as noticeable / doesn't happen at highway speeds. It's as if the transmission is trying to decide what gear it wants to be in. It has almost caused an accident I would have been claimed at fault for by shuddering and failing to accelerate while driving. There are no engine codes/warning lights. Multiple Ford techs were unable to diagnose the issue and a local shop quoted $8000+ for a transmission replacement. This has happened since the car was bought brand new- currently at ~78k miles.

The car would stall every time I put it in drive or reverse. It would also randomly stop while moving and cars have almost hit me due to this. There are no warning lights on the dash to see what it could be. It would shake like crazy and not move. According to forums, these transmissions fail or the torque converter becomes locked up. There are also law suits pending due to this issue. I was stuck in an intersection with cars trying to drive by me and feared for my safety. I would like to have someone inspect the transmission due to my safety and my family’s safety. There were no warnings of the failure and still nothing appearing on the dash.

The transmission stutters at 20 to 40 mph. Per the Ford dealership in Toledo, Ohio that is a transmission problem and known by the Ford dealerships and Ford manufacture with the Edges. The employee told me that the Fords are known for transmission problems, and the Ford manufacturer has done nothing to fix the issue. I’m wondering why there is not a recall on this and they’re they are not being fixed when they are still being made. The cost of the repair is anywhere from $3900 to $8000 depending on what they find once they tear it apart. They estimate is attached.There are numerous complaints online and you whoever is receiving these complaints have received numerous complaints for the Ford edge transmission, especially for the 2019’s. I would appreciate a response and resolution to this problem.

My 2019 Ford Edge was having engine problems. I was experiencing shuttering at speeds 20-40 mph. My vehicle odometer is at about 104,000 miles. I took the vehicle into Kendall Ford of Marysville, in Marysville Washington. I requested a diagnostic to determine what was causing the shuttering. I offered a Technical Service Bulletin be performed, as it was a bulletin I found when googling the issues I was experiencing. After the diagnostic the dealership performed Ford Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) TSB 21-2081. After the TSB was performed and did not resolve the issue the dealership said the root cause of the issue is the Torque Converter. I am currently scheduled to have the maintenance to replace the torque converter on 12/15/2025. I read online there are customers and lawyers investigating this same type of issue by Ford and gathering data for a class action lawsuit as this issue is considered a safety hazard, in which Ford is negligent in taking ownership of the issue and notifying the owners via a safety recall.
