Transmission started shuddering when changing gears. Started happening at around 55,000 miles. Have done a transmission fluid replacement, and replaced the torque converter as well since mechanic said the torque converter was going bad. Slight improvement, however still being problematic.

2019 Ford Edge with 8F35 transmission, there were no warning lights or codes. Shuddering and jerking both while accelerating and at cruising speeds. At steady highway speed, engine speed would jump by hundreds of RPM a few times times per minute. Problem started at about 70,000 miles and gradually got worse. Changed transmission fluid at 85,000 miles, despite owner's manual recommendation to change at 100,000 miles. Fluid was completely brown, with no trace of red. Shuddering improved but not eliminated.

Transmission is juttering and slipping significantly. Low power on take off and no check engine light on. Dealer states there is nothing wrong but clearly something is wrong with the Transmission.

I was driving to work on a busy street, started accelerating and the car completely shut down on me. I had to come to a complete stop on the main road during morning rush hour. Was close enough to idle into a parking lot. All my dashboard lights started flashing with an "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" alert. No throttle response. Had to have the vehicle towed to the Ford dealership where they determine that the coolant was leaking into the engine. Replaced the EGR cooler ($2300). Drove off the lot and the vehicle was shuttering upon acceleration. A( A known issue with the Ford 2.0 ecoboost engines but yet there is no recall) after diagnosing, Ford came back and said I need to replace the torque convertor ($3100). This is a 2019 vehicle with 84,277 miles on it. These issues SHOULD NOT be happening. Ford has done nothing but issue TSB's on them.

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Transit Connect, 2019-2020 MKZ, MKX, Edge, Continental, F-150, Nautilus, Fusion, 2019-2023 Ranger, Mustang, 2020-2021 EcoSport, Expedition, Navigator, 2020-2022 Escape, F-250 SD, Corsair, 2020-2023 Aviator, Transit, 2020-2024 Explorer, 2021-2024 Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or the image may remain on the display after the backing event has ended.
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.

Consequence & remedy

Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the start/stop accumulator, free of charge. The recall began September 23, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S49.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Edge vehicles. The driver-side seat belt pretensioner anchor may have been improperly crimped, possibly resulting in the seat belt webbing detaching from the anchor in the event of a crash.
