2020 Ford Edge

I started hearing a dragging noises when turning from a stop. There were no warning lights or messages displayed. This issue has been occurring for the last couple of years but was intermittent. When I drove the vehicle up into the mountains the noise became more prevalent not just when turning from a stop. It occurred anytime I turned while going up a hill. The transmission also started hesitating in low gears when going up hills (vehicle is normally in Florida with no hills). I took the vehicle in for service and they determined the rear differential was failing and needed to be replaced. I had that done and that solved the problem with the rear end, but the transmission problem continues and the service center said the transmission is failing. The vehicle has approximately 105,000 miles on it.

Car jerked forward and back slightly like slowly going over rumble strips when slowing to stop. When at stop felt like the car was in neutral when pushing on gas. Car revved engine, but no movement. Was able to push it to safe place, but from there it seemed locked up even in neutral when trying to push the car later. Sound like grinding clattering when revving engine and neutral.

The torque converter on this vehicle is a known issue to Ford, many Edges are affected by this issue. My vehicle will randomly surge and buck at low speeds as a result. Reduced power as well while going in reverse. There were never any warning signs, but the dealership said that it was a common issue on this vehicle. If I had not have been in warranty, the repair would have cost $6800. Just over six months later, the vehicle began doing the SAME thing. This time Ford says it’s the EGR valve and that it will cost a total of $1600. I managed to negotiate them down by talking to customer service, but I felt the need to bring this to others attention as I know my car isn’t the only one facing these issues.

The first indication of a problem began when I felt a stutter shifting gears at low speeds. No check engine light or anything came on but it happened again so I took the car to a local dealer to be checked. He said my transmission was shot and quoted $8000.00 for replacement as the 60,000 mile warranty had passed. My car has 92000 miles on it. I couldn't believe this as I have had no other issues with this car so I drove to a second repair shop. During the 20 mile drive my car began stuttering at all speeds, I was surprised I made to the shop. Still no dash indicator lights or check engine lights , nothing. Quoted $4500.00 to rebuild transmission. I can't believe there is no dip stick for the owner to check transmission fluid levels/condition for regular maintenance. Who designed this?
