2019 Ford Edge

The lug nuts have swelled on all of the wheels of my Ford Edge. The lug nut wrench that Ford included with the vehicle is now unusable because it will not fit the lug nuts. This becomes a safety issue because my wife and I can no longer change a flat tire on her vehicle. We sometimes drive in areas with little or no lighting. It is also a financial issue because I will have to hire a tow truck company to replace the flat tire and then purchase new lug nuts to make the vehicle safe. I understand this is a wide spread problem with Ford vehicles. I can’t believe the government has not made Ford do a recall on these lug nuts. I guess once again big industry gets preferential treatment over the safety of the citizens.

The contact stated that the failure also occurred while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the failure could not be duplicated. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that there would be a cost for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V413000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

I bought a brand new 2019 Ford Edge with 11 miles. I have serviced it regularly with no issues. On 11/8/2022, I was sitting at a stop light and had the automatic start/stop mode engaged when another car rear ended me at high impact while they were on a cell phone. It did extensive rear damage. Including needing new exhaust system. When driving my vehicle to the Ford collision center, I noticed a jerking motion when going from stop or slow mode to start. They diagnosed it as a torque converter and stated I needed a new transmission. When filing with insurance it wasn’t covered because Ford stated they couldn’t confirm it was accident related. 1st… it coincided with accident and written documents support the filed complaint when brought straight from accident. Documentation also supports regular services and no issues as late as three weeks prior to accident. I inquired to rear impact causing gears to shift or slip while in the auto start/ stop mode? No one could answer my question. My car was at 70,000 miles at the time of the accident. I feel that this is something to look into and consider. This impact did in fact cause some issue with the transmission slipping and has something to do with the Siri start stop mode. No brand new regularly serviced vehicle should need a new transmission at 70,000 miles.

While driving under 35 mph car shudders, goes up and down to 300 rpms. Car has 45,650 miles, it started around a year ago but not as noticeable but now has increasingly gotten worse. Car is scheduled to go in monday, june 12. After speaking with other owners of same model, they had same issue and claim ford does a reprogramming of the transmission but it doesn't seem to work that they returned to end up having transmission being replaced. I will follow up with documentation after my service.

I took my car in to have it serviced after I noticed it shuddering when accelerating. Mostly at a lower speed, 1st-3rd gear. I am now being told that I have to have the torque converter replaced which is going to cost me around $4700. This is from the Ford dealership by the way. My vehicle is right at 70k miles so something like this should not be broken already. After doing some research it appears that a lot of other 2019 Ford Edges are having the same issues due to bad transmission fluid at the time of production. I think that there should be a recall done so that people can get the transmission flushed and filled with new fluid, or get help paying for the converter to be replaced. And of course, my power train warranty ran out on it on 5/19/23.
