I, as well as MANY other ford edge owners are having to spend thousands to replace the torque converter that is KNOWN for giving up at any point after 85k miles. For the last 6 months my car has suddered hard when accelerating usually between 30 and 50 mph. No lights come on. No codes have been able to be pulled. After 6 months, I leave my house for work and my engine light immediately comes on stating the car is having powertrain issues leaning towards the torque converter. The shuddering has been an ongoing issue and no one has been able to diagnose it until now. Now I will have to pay thousands just to get this fixed.

I took my 2019 Ford Edge Titanium in for an oil change and tire rotation. Ford would not do a tire rotation because of the swollen lug nuts.

I took my 2019 Ford Edge Titanium in for an oil change and tire rotation. Ford would not do a tire rotation because of the swollen lug nuts. What? 5000 miles earlier I brought the vehicle in, and Nothing was said about swollen lug nuts at that time. I was told that I would have to purchase 20 new ones for 200.00. I could purchase the Ford brand or an aftermarket brand. There is no guarantee that the lug nuts may not have to be purchased again because of this issue. If this is a true safety issue, this is on you, Ford! Keep your customers safe and have a RECALL on lug nuts and not make me pay for your mistake!

I am having trouble with my car jerking when accelerating between 30 and 50 mph. I originally began to have trouble with my 2019 Ford Edge on 5/13/22. On this date, the car began to overheat and I ended up having to incur the expense of not only having the car towed; but also of retrieving the car as the closest Ford dealership at the time was 5 hours away from my home. In this instance, the car was repaired under warranty and a code of TSB 20-2234. Shortly after the repair, I noticed that my car's wifi was no longer working; and, when I inquired I was told that there would be a $400 diagnostic fee. Furthermore, after about 6 months I noticed that the car would begin to jerk when accelerating. There were no console warnings, just an irregularity when driving. I took it back to the dealership on 8-28-2023 for the acceleration issue. I was given a rental car while they reviewed the issue. The repair cost me $600. After about 6 months, the issue returned and persisted. Until I finally turned the car in on 5-1-2024. After 26 days, I was given an estimate of more than $4,000 for diagnostic services and repairs. I trusted Ford Motor Company so I did everything to be a good client, pay my bill and retrieve my car as quickly as possible. I turned in the rental car on 5/27/24 and was able to pay my bill but 6/7/24. And not 24 hours later, I have the same jerking issue. It occurs when the car is accelerating between 30mph and 50mph; especially when going uphill. I have followed all factory requested specs and have had it serviced regularly. Clearly, there is an issue with this automobile.
