2019 Ford Edge

Experienced harsh upshift and downshift causing vehicle to come to rigid stop and eventually loosing the ability to reverse. This is a serious safety concern to not only myself, but others on the road as my vehicle would not accelerate when coming to a complete stop at a stop sign or a red light, thus putting myself and others at risk of an accident. There were no warning lamps or messages that illuminated either on the dash or on the FordPass application to inform me of any issues that would require maintenance. My vehicle has been brought to a mechanic shop as I was told that the transmission needed to be replaced.

Found 2 pea sized, spots of something on garage floor over 2 months period of time. Car had seemed to OK with exception of occasional delay in shifting gears. Returning from long drive home, car started jerking and studdering upon acceleration as merging onto highway. This happened several times throughout drive home. Could have been easily rear ended on busy highway, we were very nervous. The system light went on only during the intense jerking, when car was turned off, system light never turned back on when restarted. Vehicle Health report, did not detect any issues. Brought into dealership, they had 5 weeks total, was told needed new transmission and front brakes. They said “luck of the draw” was the cause of the transmission problem. $4800.00 Upon pickup of Edge, studdering noted in brakes. Returned car, another $500, they said rear brakes now needed. This was all after after a $1900 electrical fix. Total spent for this 2019 Edge has been $8000.00 plus for repair. Not right.

2019 ford Edge SEL, FWD, Transmission problem. while driving on the high way, kicking and clunking and slipping, harsh upshift and downshift as well as harsh engagement. All the sudden loss of a power, and vehicle comes to stop. it is very very dangerous on a busy crowded highway which can cause serious accidents and purhaps death. I have contacted ford, and they refused to fix it . Ford is aware of it and they said they can not do anything about it till there will be a recall. My vehicle has only 400 miles passed the 60000 miles, but they refuse to honor the warranty repair on a defect design transmission that are having lots of issues with. I guess they are waitting for something bad to happen before they do anything.

I HAVE HAD MY 2019 FORD EDGE AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE WITH A COLLANT PROBLEM. THEY HAVE PUT MY EDGE ON THEIR ANALSIS MACHINE AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS WITH ANYTHING PERTAINING TO THE COOLANT. THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING AS TO WHY IT IS LEAKING OR EVAPORATING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS A COOLANT FORD USED IN SOME 2019S MODELS THAT WAS EVAPORATING QUICKLY AND WAS DISCONTINUED IN USE. IVE HAD TO HAVE THEM DRAIN THE OLD COOLANT OUT AND HAVE IT REPLACED BUT SINCE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IVE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE COST.
