NHTSA Complaint #11707336 — 2019 FORD EDGE

Vehicle was hesitating when accelerating at slow speeds from 20 to 40 mph. Took it to Lafontaine Ford dealership and they said I had a bad dpfe sensor which was replaced at a cost of $800. There were no engine codes on the dash. Drove the car the following week and still noticed a slight hesitation/stuttering when accelerating. No engine codes again. This time the dealership confirmed through diagnostic testing that the torque converter wasn’t working correctly and needs to be replaced at a cost of $5000. Now I’m wondering whether the first repair was even needed. I have seen where hundreds probably more, dissatisfied customers have experienced the same problem and Ford has done nothing even though there is a class action lawsuit concerning this issue. And Ford wonders why sales are declining. At the very least they should do is have the customer pay for the part and Ford will pay for the labor to install it.
