NHTSA Complaint #11683098 — 2019 FORD EDGE

2019 Ford Edge 67K miles. A few months ago experienced 'hesitation" & some jerking once accelerated. It would continue until around 40 mph. Took to dealer, determined initially it was the Purge Valve. This was repaired; however, rec'd a call that torque converter locking & slipping. The fluid has metal parts. They said there was damage to the transmission. They didn't recommend repairing because the same issue will happen. A new transmission in process of being done. Been in service dept. since 8/11/25. Not finished with repairs yet. Found out via search that this issue is common with this year of vehicle & mileage & owners suggest filing a complaint. The warranty has expired & cost of repair is very expensive. Search also seems to have other model years having the same issue.
