2019 Ford Edge

Was to be paid off in September and give our family some financial relief ,but the very end of July the transmission went in this car is what ford told me. They forgot to mention that the motor was about to go as well. We paid 60,000 in payments. To get screwed over by my local Ford! We had just left Canada wonderland on the 400 series in Canada. My car completely died. We were able to coast to side of the road. Tried to start it but it would only go a tiny bit not enough to get us home so there we are stranded on the side of the highway, because Ford didn't want to admit that the edge was a complete flop. We bought this brand new. It's a catastrophic failure they know this. Toyota offered us 800.00 😂 😂. I did sell it privately and was told that the motor was gone in it as well. Good job Ford get me to be in for each problem

I am having problems with my transmission; it puts itself into park when we tried to put it in gear. It has been sitting in my back driveway for almost a year as we can't drive it. When this happened, we had just pulled into my front driveway after a 2+ hour trip and put the car in park. Then without turning it off, went to put it in reverse to move it - the car BY ITSELF went into park - we Watched it and have it recorded!! We have taken it to dealerships within the months before this - to begin with, when it shuddered when it drove, but they told us it was a computer issue. It kept getting worse until this happened - thank God we weren't still traveling on the interstate when it put itself into park!!!

The vehicle has experienced transmission issues. I received a powertrain malfunction light in August, and the car suddenly had trouble shifting in low gears resulting in jerking. When driving, it continued to have issues. Then, it wouldn't go into reverse and the jerking increased before having it towed to get evaluated. There were no signs and it appears that MANY of these transmissions are reported to have issues.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned: Transmission - Torque Converter and associated parts. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Propulsion and control of gear shifting can come/go cause shuddering - especially between 20mph and 40mph. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Just the dealer mechanics. There is a TSB and Ford knows there are issues with this system. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No check engine or associated lights

My drivers side seat belt is getting stuck while pulling it out. It clicks and becomes stuck and I can’t put it on. When I do finally get it on I became stuck on 3 separate occasions and couldn’t physically get it off without help. I haven’t brought it to be inspected because my vin is not listed in the recall of driver side seatbelt. No lamps or messages prior.

approx 102K miles, issues started May 2026, torque converter shudder, most noticeable at below speeds 60 mph, no dtc's present, traceable shudder event with ids/fdrs reading, sometimes perceived/felt as an engine misfire may be due to an internal issue with the torque converter. July 22, 2026 changed and refilled automatic transmission fluid and did not seem to help much.

I have contacted several Ford service departments seeking repair of my defective 8F35 transmission. A diagnosis for which I paid $215 indicates a new planetary gearset and torque converter, along with miscellaneous small parts, are required. The repair quotation is $4,531. Although my car is now post-warranty, I believe full coverage is appropriate for two reasons: 1) This problem was first reported to and serviced by a Ford dealership while the factory powertrain warranty was in force. The dealer performed TSB 21-2389, a software reload, which provided only temporary resolution; 2) This is a well-known and well-documented factory defect involving the needle bearings in the planetary gearset. Failure of these bearings releases particulate into the fluid which then damages the torque converter. Based on the quotation, I requested and received help from Ford's Financial Goodwill Assistance program, but only 40% of the total cost. To obtain a higher amount requires the assistance of the Service Manager and others within the Ford hierarchy, but they are not interested in helping. Service departments I have dealt with successfully on previous occasions are not touching this 8F35 problem. My cynical side suspects something nefarious is happening behind the scenes, and satisfactory resolution will require a mandatory recall be issued by NHTSA.

I was experiencing shuddering, hard shifting, and jerking while driving my vehicle. I brought it into the shop and was told my transmission was bad. I was quoted $7500 for a re-built transmission, labor and reprogramming. My vehicle has 97,000 miles on but it isn't worth putting that kind of money into. I purchased my 2019 Ford Edge new and have been the only owner. I have maintained my vehicle, taken very good care of it an done all maintenance when suggested. It certainly should go further than 97,000 miles. I am extremely disappointed - - especially now after doing some research and found out that the 2019 Ford Edge is "known" for transmission issues but Ford has done nothing about it. Shame!
