NHTSA Complaint #11689617 — 2019 FORD EDGE

November 2023 - Started noticing there was some unsteady shifting/jerking around 25-35 mph. Car had appx. 68k miles. Took it to 3 different places with all 3 diagnosing as the torque converter. Was told to replace immediately, as could fail at any moment and cause car to stop. July 2025 - Same symptoms. Car has 103k miles on it. Received diagnosis of, “The technician is saying the planetary gearset failure with metallic debris intermixed within the transmission fluid. Due to the age, mileage, condition, and symptoms present on the vehicle the technician is recommending replacing the transmission.” Again, losing transmission would car to come to stop, possibly in traffic lanes. So, this is two major issues with the transmission in 100k miles. Also seems to be a rather common issue with this model, as it didn’t take long to find message boards related to this, and it's now up to 4 pages: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
