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.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at speeds under 46 MPH, the vehicle experienced a transmission shudder, causing the vehicle to shake and vibrate abnormally. The failure was more prevalent while driving uphill. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed a transmission software update under the TSB: 21-2389; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 66,000.

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.
