NHTSA Complaint #11623213 — 2019 FORD EDGE

Sept. My car began bucking and jerking really bad. I was at 63,000 miles. I called Ford who said to get it in...the soonest they could get me in was over a month out. I told them it was a serious safety concern because of the jerking and that they were putting my safety at risk making me wait so long driving a car like that. I had to wait. I tried fuel injection cleaner to see if that would help, it didn't. I never had any codes or lights saying anything was wrong. Ford looked at it and drove it and the mechanics understood why I felt unsafe driving it, they said it jerked really bad. I told Ford I was afraid it would jerk and hit someone when leaving a light or cause me to get hit by jerking and pausing while turning. I was in there a few months ago trying to schedule my transmission fluid to be changed and they told me no I needed to come back between 70-75,000 miles. Today they told me that the transmission fluid was black with metal in it. They said I now need a new transmission at $8,333.
