My 2019 Ford Edge's transmission completely failed. It is $8,067.89 to replace. It only had 110,000 miles on it when the transmission stopped working. The car stopped working in the middle of traffic. It would go forward instead of backward and vice versa, and then completely stopped going. We're lucky we weren't stranded far away from home or on the highway when this decided to happen.
Sunroof spontaneously shattered.
I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2019 Ford Edge, which now requires a full transmission replacement despite having fewer than 90,000 miles.

I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2019 Ford Edge, which now requires a full transmission replacement despite having fewer than 90,000 miles. A major transmission failure at this mileage is highly abnormal for a vehicle of this age and maintenance history. Prior to the failure, I experienced shuddering and irregular shifting, yet the vehicle’s warning lamps did not consistently illuminate to indicate that there was a problem. The lack of warning indicators prevented early detection and contributed to the severity of the issue. I received a repair estimate from Don Seelye Ford in Kalamazoo, MI, totaling $11,534.07 for the transmission replacement and related service. This cost is excessive and entirely unexpected for a vehicle with under 90,000 miles, and it places a significant financial burden on me as the owner. Given the premature nature of this failure, the safety concerns it created, and the extremely high repair cost, I am requesting a full review of this matter and consideration for assistance or coverage.
My Ford jerks and shutters as I accelerate from 0 to 40 per hour. I took it in to Capitol Ford in Carson Ctiy, NV. They told me the transmission computer software need to be upgraded. I'm afraid the transmission is going to go out and cause a accident. No accident has happen yet.
Vehicle would not go into reverse suddenly when leaving parking lot, when putting in drive it would jerk forward, yellow tool light came on. Took to dealership immediately and they claim transmission is gone. Ford extended warranty wants a full tear down to rebuild
Was told by mechanic that my engine has a coolant leak and has caused engine failure. The car has been jerking whenever I accelerate. The remote start does not function from my key fob and I have been unable to pair the Ford pass app with that. The USB ports for Android Auto also don't seem to work. If I drive over a small bu…

Was told by mechanic that my engine has a coolant leak and has caused engine failure. The car has been jerking whenever I accelerate. The remote start does not function from my key fob and I have been unable to pair the Ford pass app with that. The USB ports for Android Auto also don't seem to work. If I drive over a small bump on the road, it disconnects my phone from Android Auto. I then have to unplug the cable then replug back into my phone or the USB port to hopefully get it to work again.
I have had the high-pressure fuel pump fail on me three times in less than 10,000 miles. This causes the motor to shut down, crank no start and I’ve also had it blow the fuel pump off the top of the motor and dump the oil on the highway on the windshield all over the car, creating a severe crash hazard on these events

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S72.
