Vehicle shudders and shakes at low speeds. Been doing this since 43k miles and it now reflects it as a possible torque converter problem.

The car has 70,000 miles on it. The cars transmission feels like its hesitating or slipping in low speed or when you first take off. Its dangerous turning into highways. Theirs recalls on this same make amd model and year but this car by vin says heir is no recalls. But its doing the same thing as the other recalled cars. Took it to ford dealer. Ted britt, in Fairfax, va. They said it was not under recall. They printed out a report and also said theirs no codes on car. They stated the transmission might have to be recalibrated, or I need a new transmission. Took it to another mechanic shop the car did not have check engine light on but did have codes stored. The mechanic said they can service transmission and check fluid levels. The dealer never said anything to me about when I should get it serviced or at how many miles. So I dont know who to believe. Looked online said that year has recalls and that the trans should be serviced at 30 to 50 thousand miles. So why wouldn't the dealer say that if that could affect the safty of this vehicle. I only use the dealer to get serviced. It just makes me not trust ford because of all the recalls they have they cant afford to fix more cars. Im also contacting better buisness bureau and documenting everything. I have two diagnostic reports 1 from deal 1 from a mechanic shop. Both saying different things. This should be under recall the mechanic from the shop told me to file a report he said he can fix transmission but does not want to touch it because what he seen it falls under manufactur defect.

Two instances now where I am driving vehicle start shuttering. Jerks then speeds up and selecting random gears. Checked fluid levels all fine. Had another incident on the freeway where I suddenly went from 70 mph to a screaming vehicle that rapidly slowed down to 30 mph. I was forced to idle back on the shoulder. Vehicle is back in the shop again.
Transmission needs replacement after only 82,000 miles with regular oil changes and routine maintenance. Ford dealership quote $9600 plus tax for repair. It is unacceptable for Ford to manufacture and sell vehicles with known transmission issues. This could lead to myriad of safety issues.

In my 2019 ford edge sel the transmission is slipping gears at a continuously inconsistent rate. It flutters from 2000rpm to 3000 rpm the entire time it is driven. Sometimes it will slip gears so bad my car will stop very harshly with a loud bang. There are no warning lights present. When driving on the highway and this happens it causes safety concerns because I am abruptly slowing down. The vehicle does not fully stop or turn off. The collision sensor has gone off when it happens. When driving at lower speeds the transmission flutter is at its worst. Normally when slowing down/ stopping at the stop sign or red light then accelerating when it’s clear to continue driving. I have not had the vehicle inspected yet but my transmission is getting flushed next week to see if that helps while I can save up to buy a new one. This is a constant issue that randomly started a few weeks ago. I did not drive my car often but relocated and live an hour away from my job. Now that I’m driving it more frequently it has developed some sketchy habits.
