NHTSA Complaint #11680255 — 2019 FORD EDGE

The torque converter within the power train system failed, causing the vehicle to shutter while traveling at speeds up to 45 mph, then eventually not even allowing the vehicle to reach 45 mph at all. My safety was put at risk because it could cause a wreck if traveling at higher speeds and the vehicle all of a sudden slows to a lower speed. This is a known problem to Ford, there are many complaints from people who own a Ford Edge with the torque converter going out, but Ford has yet to issue a recall. My car is currently at the service department of a Ford dealership with the torque converter being confirmed as the culprit. This is week 3 that my car has been sitting there waiting for the repairs, because the torque converter is on back order. There were no warning lamps that came on to alert me there was any issue with my vehicle. The only way we found out was by taking it to have it looked at because of the shuttering. No warning lamps or messages whatsoever.
