I took it to my routine service repair center and their mechanic advised me coolant was seeping into the engine block. No messages or warnings were desplayed.

Transmission has had the lumpy shifting issue at lower speeds/gears since we bought it used from a local Ford Dealer. This appears to be a common problem if the reports in various internet forums is to be believed. PCM was upgraded, didn't help. Now the lumpiness has increased to bucking, making the car close to undriveable. In addition when accelerating hard there is a considerable delay in actual increased movement, almost caused a wreck at one point.

The transmission has gone out at 111,000 miles. We had taken it to the dealer for it dying without warning and losing power like it wasn’t getting fuel. They put a sensor in it and said it was fixed. When we left the dealership it seemed fine but in a few days the whistling came back. Ford wants $9800.00 to fix the same problem in other 2019 but my VIN is not on the recall list. The Edge was jerking and shifting hard. Going forward when it was in reverse which are the same problems the recall on other 2019 Ford Edges. I am asking that you review this matter as I have found hundreds of people not being compensated by Ford’s unsafe design for the transmission in the 2019 Ford Edge vehicles. When I spoke to the dealer and Fords customer service, they basically said it was my problem not theirs. Ford wants $9,800.00 to repair it The transmission went out on June 1, 2025, after coming home from church.

The 8F35 transmission has started shuddering and jerking around 30-45 MPH. It makes accelerating on roads and highways very dangerous as the vehicle is hard to control. The shuddering and jerking is getting progressively worse. Took the vehicle in for TSB 21-2389 which reportedly addresses the issue, but it did not resolve it. Now Ford is quoting me $10k to replace the transmission. There are thousands of Ford owners with both the 6F35 and 8F35 transmission running into the same issue and being quoted thousands of dollars for a faulty transmission. Please please please do something to stop this mispractice.
