Transmission jerks and acts as if it doesn't want to shift into place at speeds between 20-40 MPH. As per Fords protocol had the PCM reprogrammed, but that has not helped. I am being told it is the torque converter, possibly the transmission itself. Apparently this is a common and costly issue with this transmission.

We purchased a 2019 Ford Edge Titanium from Car Max. It is 5 years old with only 60k miles. While idling, the engine was bogging and running rough. In addition, a foul smell like firework smoke was coming from the vents. After bringing it to a repair pal certified mechanic, they diagnosed that coolant was leaking into cylinder 2, and we would need a new engine to rectify the issue. The 2019 Ford Edge we purchased was assemble in October 2018, as the 5 year warranty expired in October of 2023. It is experiencing the EXACT SAME problem as all earlier models that were part of the Ford recall. Consequently, we are experience emotional distress in rectifying this issue since the 2019 model year was not covered under the recall bulletin.

When the issue first started I took the car to the dealership where it was purchased brand new. They had a 2 month waiting list for the car to be looked at. Now the car is out of warranty by less then 300 miles. The dealership has had my car for over a week to look at it. After many calls and text with the service department they will begin work this week. The issue with the Car is it jerks when switching gears most of the time. Mostly noticed between 2nd & 3rd AND 3rd & 4th gears. The car isn't throwing any code and no warning lights are on and up to date on oil changes and has brand new tires. The car is very well maintained and the Ford app says it's in excellent condition. Even though it's not. Ford diagnosed I need a new torque converter. 4,714.38 later.
