The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH and while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated and stalled. The contact stated that while accelerating 50 MPH or above, the vehicle started to work as intended. The check warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed and it was determined that the crankcase hose needed to be replaced and the engine needed to be reprogramed. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced or rebuilt. The crankcase hose was replaced; however, the transmission was not rebuilt or replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle warranty had expired. No additional assistance was provided. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000.
This is an additional complaint, among all the others for the faulty transmission and/or torque converter. 72K miles and have had it a month and the rough shifting at low speeds issue has reared it's head.
The transmission, particularly from 3 to 4 and some from 5 to 6 jerks. This is a continuing issue with this model. My shop has told me it was the Torque Converter and is common with 2019 Edges.

TRANSMISSION FLUID FULL AND BLACK IN COLOR. TORQUE CONVERTER CAME APART WHICH RESULTED IN MATERIALS ON DIP STICK AND BAD SHUDDER SHIFTING ON THE 1-2 AND 2-3. DEALERSHIP WAS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REQUESTING ASSISTANCE WITH THE SHUDDERING ISSUE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THEY COULD FIX. EACH SERVICE LEVEL STATES THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE CHECKED, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE DIPSTICK THAT THEY DO NOT CHECK. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE AN ISSUE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP DID DIAGNOSE WITH THE CODE: 61439 TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDS REPLACING

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.
