Car buck and jerks, unexpected low speed and sometimes hi speed, never know what is going to happen when you hit the gas or brake. Ford wants to replace transmission. Car has 55,500 miles, this should be a known defect. Ford refuses to fix under any warranty, This is a very dangerous defect. I have seen many people complain with this same defect.

Unable to engage and maintain 1st gear on any grade. The design of the rotary shifter eliminated the 1st from the gear shifter leaving only paddle shifting and Sport mode. While in Sport mode with paddle shifters engaged, the car automatically shifts to 2nd gear at 4mph and around 900-1000 rpm (just above idle). When trying to downshift, the gear just flashes, making me unable to downshift to first gear. This forces the frequent engaging of brakes at steep grades, leading to brake overheating and potential brake failure. The design is a safety issue. First gear is an absolute necessity in certain situations and Ford has disabled my ability to use it.

In May/2024- driving on Xway—“wrench” appeared as warning. I was in rural area & called Ford dealer 2 1/2 hrs away. They confirmed the Ford Pass warning was torque converter. I was told I could drive it home as long as I drive slower, ie: 60 mpg. Took it in to dealer, Trans tech confirmed torque converter @ fault. Replaced it, I drove the car off lot after 3 weeks in the shop. Still felt hesitancy. Took it back, Trans tech said it was the valve body. Replaced, but still hesitating. Tech said fluid may have “particles” in trans fluid. Flushed. Still not driving smoothly per service manager My 2019 Edge has been in Ford dealership since 5/6/24. It is now 7/29/24.

Torque converter malfunction confirmed through transmission shop. When problem initially presented it would intermittenly lag when pressing the accelerator. That turned into a constant jerk/shudder during driving with it being severely pronounced during any kind of acceleration in any gear. The problem only got worse and did so quickly. On several occasions I experienced enough lag that I was almost hit due to the delay in the car moving. I then had to leave ample time to turn in the event the car didn't engage again. The problem was confirmed through an independent transmission shop and is currently up for repair and a Ford dealership. The symptoms were present for 8 months without the car ever throwing a code. It never indicated needing any service.

While driving on a 65 mph road the car quit accelerating and the speed dropped quickly. This unexpected change in speed experienced by a young driver almost caused her to be rear ended and others to have an accident swerving around her. The check engine light came on right as this happened. Dealership replaced EGR Cooler but it did not fix the problem. Vehicle is jerking and shuddering during acceleration.

Was having some jerking and spudding when starting from a stop until getting above 30mph.No warnings or lights of any kind. Had a rough start one morning and the engine light came on. Took it to a Ford dealer and was told that coolant is leaking into #4 cylinder and we basically need a new engine. No warnings or anything prior to this one time and getting a health check on the Ford App about a Misfire. Miles 103,400
