2019 ford edge sel, while accelerating the vehicle jerks, causing vehicle to slowly accelerate. According to multiple ford dealerships, multiple transmission shops, and ford motor company themselves, there was a manufacturing problem with the welds on the torque converter, which caused the torque converter to come apart and emit metal shavings into the fluid which ended up in the transmission causing it to jerk and hesitate. This I was told was only a problem with the 2019-2021 ford edge sel.

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.
