2019 FORD EDGE Engine Problems

This is a 2019 Ford Edge in great condition. I just purchased the vehicle with roughly 90000 miles on it. After roughly 2 weeks of driving, I noticed the vehicle struggles to get up to speed, and the gears shift roughly, especially after a cold start. Additionally, while driving, the gears would struggle to downshift, staying at a higher RPM than it should, such as being stuck at 4000 RPM while driving 30mph, and it would stay like this for about 1-2 minutes. Additionally, from time to time, the reverse gear will not engage at all, this is a major safety concern, God forbid I am somewhere I need to back out from and there is obstruction in the front, only God knows what trouble I would be in. There have been recalls for such cars. It is unfortunate that Ford has not opened an active recall for others with...

Incident Summary On February 14, 2026, without warning, the vehicle stalled and shut down while I was backing into my driveway. The engine restarted briefly only to fail again. Two independent mechanics have confirmed a blown head gasket resulting from coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders that is consistent with the well-documented defect affecting this engine platform. The vehicle is currently inoperable. This failure occurred while I am [XXX] pregnant, with my minor child present in the vehicle. A sudden engine shutdown at highway speeds could have resulted in serious bodily injury or worse. The safety implications of this defect are substantial. 2019 Ford Edge SEL AWD (VIN: [XXX] ) equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine — a vehicle widely associated with the known coolant intrusion defect currently subject to litigation.

Have only had 2019 Ford Edge SEL for just about 3yrs..Around the middle of Nov, 2025 vehicle started sputting/jerking up to about 40mph then would drive fine at higher speeds...While driving over the weekend jan 3rd 2026 vehicle started smoking extremely bad, no check engine light to let me know anything was wrong, still no lights at this time... had to abruptly stop on the highway to merge over to get to the side safely thinking any minute vehicle could catch fire. Assuming it was a oil leak, had it towed to the mechanic shop where I was informed it was transmission fluid everywhere. After looking up systems I came across a forum where owners of this vehicle are calling for recall for the exact same problem. Mechanic stated take to Ford dealership bc these edges have had transmission issues and he didn't want to replace converter or any other...

My 2019 Ford Edge was having engine problems. I was experiencing shuttering at speeds 20-40 mph. My vehicle odometer is at about 104,000 miles. I took the vehicle into Kendall Ford of Marysville, in Marysville Washington. I requested a diagnostic to determine what was causing the shuttering. I offered a Technical Service Bulletin be performed, as it was a bulletin I found when googling the issues I was experiencing. After the diagnostic the dealership performed Ford Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) TSB 21-2081. After the TSB was performed and did not resolve the issue the dealership said the root cause of the issue is the Torque Converter. I am currently scheduled to have the maintenance to replace the torque converter on 12/15/2025. I read online there are customers and lawyers investigating this same type of issue by Ford and gathering data for a class action lawsuit as this issue is considered...

The torque is shuttering like crazy. I took it into Ford months ago multiple times and they said they had no idea because nothing was coming up, no codes or anything. I have been religious with maintenance checks and whatever they recommend at the dealership. Today my check engine light went on and the cores that came up were about my torque shuttering. Ford released a TSB about the shuttering on my make and model and saying the course of action is to replace the torque converter. I called Ford and told them all this and they quoted me thousands and said they aren’t liable for the repairs. How are they not responsible when this is a manufacturing issue? The car is unsafe to drive and Ford even released a TSB but they refuse to fix it.

My Ford jerks and shutters as I accelerate from 0 to 40 per hour. I took it in to Capitol Ford in Carson Ctiy, NV. They told me the transmission computer software need to be upgraded. I'm afraid the transmission is going to go out and cause a accident. No accident has happen yet.

Was told by mechanic that my engine has a coolant leak and has caused engine failure. The car has been jerking whenever I accelerate. The remote start does not function from my key fob and I have been unable to pair the Ford pass app with that. The USB ports for Android Auto also don't seem to work. If I drive over a small bump on the road, it disconnects my phone from Android Auto. I then have to unplug the cable then replug back into my phone or the USB port to hopefully get it to work again.

I have had the high-pressure fuel pump fail on me three times in less than 10,000 miles. This causes the motor to shut down, crank no start and I’ve also had it blow the fuel pump off the top of the motor and dump the oil on the highway on the windshield all over the car, creating a severe crash hazard on these events

Car stutters and hesitates when accelerating. Almost got in accident when trying to merge onto interstate. Two different repair shops say there is an issue with the Torque converter. They suggest a complete transmission rebuild or replacement.

Completed a transmission change, new battery, oil change, and spark plug change and the car is still jerking when changing gears and touch screen keeps turning off

My 2019 Ford Edge has 64,500 miles on it and the transmission needs replacing. Ford says that it will cost me $9K, but if I come up with $4500, they might help with the rest. I bought this vehicle just over a year ago and took it into a dealership with under 60K miles with the initial complaints. After a year of them looking at the computer system and making adjustments to that, they told me it needed a throttle body. I had a friend take it to another Ford dealership and they ran a diagnostic study on it right away - the transmission fluid has metal in it, it needs to be replaced. After telling the first dealership what we found, they said that it isn't covered under any warranty because when they finally found out what was wrong, it was over the 60K miles. Right now, I still...

COOLANT INTRUSION TO ENGINE

My car started to stutter whenever I was at a red light and had to accelerate or when I was turning and had to coast and then accelerate. I thought it was my tires and had Goodyear check my tires.. Then it continued. I thought it was a bad tank of gas so when I filled up again, it was still happening. I brought it into the dealership on Friday, October 3rd. It has been at the dealership ever since. they told me that I need a new torque converter bed. Unfortunately, my extended warranty expired on September 12, 2025. I was driving around with it with the symptoms thinking it was other things. I brought it in when it got worse. It has been at the dealership for a whole week. I went online to check the whole situation out and found out that FORD is very aware of...

What happened: The torque converter/transmission system failed. My 2019 Ford Edge (VIN [XXX] , 75,000 miles) experiences a shudder and vibration under 60 mph during normal driving, with no diagnostic trouble codes present. This matches the condition described in Ford Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 25-2154 for the 8F35 transmission. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety risk: The shudder occurs during acceleration and highway merging. It causes the vehicle to hesitate and lurch, which puts myself, passengers, and nearby drivers at risk — especially when merging into traffic or crossing intersections. Loss of smooth power delivery creates a hazard that could result in a collision. Dealer confirmation: The problem has been diagnosed and confirmed by an authorized Ford dealer, who quoted approximately $2,800 for repair (torque converter replacement and PCM reprogram). Manufacturer involvement: The issue was presented to Ford Motor Company, who acknowledged the TSB exists but denied...

I am a loyal Ford customer reporting a serious issue with my 2019 Ford Edge, which has about 53,000 miles and is equipped with the 8F35 transmission. The vehicle is experiencing shuddering, bucking, and jerking during acceleration, especially at speeds up to 35 mph. In addition, the auto Start/Stop accumulator switch no longer functions. These issues directly match the conditions described in Technical Service Bulletin 21-2081 and Safety Recall 20S49, yet my VIN is not included in the Safety recall because the part was not assembled at the Oakville plant. I strongly believe this exclusion is unfair and irrelevant—my vehicle has the same defective part and is experiencing the same failures. Ford now recommends replacing the torque converter because the lock-up clutch broke apart, which means metal debris already entered the transmission. This is not a minor issue, and I do not want a temporary or partial fix. I am...

The torque converter is bad and is sputtering, jerking, not shifting, hard shifts, this is not safe. This is a danger to me and others when the car is jerking and not shifting correctly, safety hazard! Ford dealer confirmed the torque converter is bad. Hundreds, if not thousands of others complaining about their Ford Edge having the same issue. No warning or other problems, or symptoms, it just started jerking and sputtering.

Design flaw in engine which causes coolant intrusion into the cylinders causing misfires, overheating, and white smoke out of the exhaust. The vehicle is unsafe to drive due to the engine overheating. The vehicle has been inspected by a licensed mechanic that confirmed all of the above. The engine temperature would overheat and there was white smoke coming out of the exhaust upon starting the vehicle.

All lights came on randomly ford house said it was the torque converter

vehicle hesitates while accelerating

My 2019 Ford Edge begin to stutter after I reached 60k miles. When I accelerate it stutter between 15-35 MPH I called Bill Brown Ford spoke to a service advisor , she stated it’s in the transmission so I took my vehicle to a transmission shop was informed nothing wrong with trans. The car jerks during take off biggest fear it shutting down while driving. No warning signals in the dash just begin to drive differently during take off. Too many complaint for this not to be listed as a recall before someone gets hurt.

I was driving to work on a busy street, started accelerating and the car completely shut down on me. I had to come to a complete stop on the main road during morning rush hour. Was close enough to idle into a parking lot. All my dashboard lights started flashing with an "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" alert. No throttle response. Had to have the vehicle towed to the Ford dealership where they determine that the coolant was leaking into the engine. Replaced the EGR cooler ($2300). Drove off the lot and the vehicle was shuttering upon acceleration. A( A known issue with the Ford 2.0 ecoboost engines but yet there is no recall) after diagnosing, Ford came back and said I need to replace the torque convertor ($3100). This is a 2019 vehicle with 84,277 miles on it. These issues SHOULD NOT be happening. Ford has done nothing but issue...

Last year, the 2.0 ecoboost had a coolant intrusion. After 2 times ford dealer talking with someone in company, the repacerd egr valve, egr cooler and finally had a long block motor installed. Then a little while later had to replace transmission, then the steering box. My extended warranty covered this but it ran out at the end of May. I think I should be compensated either by extended warranty or money. Any of those problems could have resulted in an accident. First took to Lynn layton ford in decatur, took back a couple of weeks and could not get to it, took to eddie pruitt ford in hartselle, where they took care of the problems.

Torque Converter issue, vehicle shakes or stutters, or bucks when switching gears. It starts when I reach around 23 mph, comes out of it between 28-32, but then it happens again at 43-48. This is especially noticeable after being stopped at stop signs or red lights. Local dealer is aware. My mothers car (same make, model, year is having the same issue) No lights or anything come on.

Without warning or prior issues, while driving the car on a busy street the check engine light came on, the car shook and locked up/stopped suddenly. I was almost rear ended. The car would not restart. A known TSB is in place for this car and the head gasket design flaw allows coolant into the engine causing it to seize on even low mileage cars (under 46,000 miles). 19 year old female left stranded in highway after a near collision. Ford needs to be forced to recall these engines and fix this design flaw!

Blown head gasket due to faulty engine block design

The problem is the torque converter. It causes a hesitation when accelerating from being stopped, usually around 30-43 mph is when the car acts like it isn't going to speed up and slows down instead of speeding up. I had the torque converter replaced once in Sept. 2024. My car has 82,213 miles. I took my car in today 8/5/25 and was confirmed that the torque converter need to be replaced again. The Ford service department told me that they have had 8 - 10 Ford Edges come in in the last 2 weeks with the same problem. I have 2 family members that have Ford Edges that is having the same issues.

VEHICLE FAILS TO UTILIZE AUTO STOP/START. VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. VEHICLE HESISTATES, JERKS FORWARDS, SPUTTERS, AND DOES NOT GAIN SPEED PROPERLY AT ANY GIVEN TIME. VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT OFF AN ON FOR OVER 4 YEARS BY NORTH BROTHERS FORD OF MICHIGAN. THEY SAID ON MUTIPLE OCCASIONS CAR IS FINE AND ALL SYMPTOMS ARE NORMAL EVEN AS 4 OTHER CARS WERE BROUGHT IN AND AGAIN THEY SAID THIS WAS ALL NORMAL. ALL OF THIS OFF AND ON FROM ABOUT YEAR 1 OF PURCHASING VEHICLE TILL NOW (7/30/2025) AND PROBLEMS ARE STILL ON GOING. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REBUILT, OIL CHANGES REGULAR, TUNE UP PERFORMED. COILS REPLACED ON PRIOR SERVICES DUE TO ISSUES NOTICEDE BY MAINTENANCE TEAM.

TRANSMISSION IS SHUDDERING AND JERKING

Longblock engine cracked between the 2nd and 3rd cylinders due to coolant intrusion without any warning. No lights indicated low coolant nor that the temperature was rising. My car kept stalling at stop lights but would restart. By the time I got home, white smoke was coming from exhaust and it smelled like fireworks. It has 38,997 miles but is 6 years old and out of warranty. Ford wanted $12,691.17 to install a new engine with only a 1 year warranty. I had the engine replaced with a used engine and before I could get the car home, the replacement engine block cracked in the same place as mine. That engine only had 40,000 miles. Ford claims no issues with my car but the 2018 and 2017 Edge's have a recall for the same issue. This is not true!!

Vehicle has 71,452 miles and has started using coolant and the wrench and check engine light are coming on. This is a known issue in other years of ford vehicles and this vehicle should also be included in the recall.

Our 2019 Ford Edge (purchased in November 2018) has had a coolant leak into the engine's cylinders. As a result we are facing an estimated $12,000 expense to essentially rebuild the engine. In doing some research, it appears as if there is a class action lawsuit already filed against Ford for the 2015-2018 Edge. Our situation is exactly the same as that described in the lawsuit. Therefore, it seems as if Ford still has not rectified the issue.

In November 2024 Customer Complaint: Engine/transmission is sputtering on acceleration between 20–40 MPH. Code Pulled: Misfire code on Cylinder 4. Action Taken: Swapped ignition coil from Cylinder 4 to 3. Removed spark plug and noted wear/carbon tracing. Replaced all 4 spark plugs with Motor craft SP-594 (ASP594). No misfire present after repair. Same misfiring issue returns May 2025.

Engine - Yes it is available for inspection. Approximately a year/18 months I was driving on the interstate and the engine shut down. I was required to pull over four lanes with no power. I took it to a Ford dealership in Franklin, TN. Supposedly it was fixed. However I now have a problem with the engine missing. I took it to my routine service repair center and their mechanic advised me coolant was seeping into the engine block. No messages or warnings were desplayed.

While driving my RPM's dropped to 0 and my car stalled out. I was able to drive home by doing this a few more times. Then white smoke starting coming out of the exhaust and it smelled like fireworks. No warning lights came on and my Ford Pass app did not indicate there was a problem. I had it towed to AAA then had to have it towed to dealership. They told me I needed a complete new engine. It is a 2019 Edge Titanium with 4 cylinder 2.0L ecoboost turbo with 38997 miles! They started it was due to coolant intrusion. The 2018 Edge has a recall for this exact issue but not the 2019!! $12691.17 to replace the engine!

Torque converter Transmission! The whole car shudders when going from 10mph to 25/30mph. Shudder/shaking while accelerating Low mileage @ 67k miles

My 2019 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine began experiencing a misfire, loss of power, and white smoke from the exhaust. No engine light was on when it started and the car has less tan 46K miles. I had the car towed to a certified mechanic and he confirmed that coolant is leaking into my cylinders, which matches the issue described in Ford TSB 19-2346. This appears to be a widespread manufacturing defect affecting many vehicles with this engine. The presence of coolant in the combustion chamber caused catastrophic engine failure and poses a safety risk due to sudden loss of power while driving. I have been told that to fix the issue I need to replace the whole engine. Repair costs are estimated at $10,600 for an engine replacement at a local repair shop. I would expect it to be even higher from a Ford dealer. Ford has...

Shuttering transmission/bad transmission under 100,000 miles

1. The transmission/torque converter causes the car to shift randomly causing almost constant jerking motion especially between 10-40 mph. This tends to lead to reduced power output as the car is constantly shifting gears or stuck is an incorrect gear. Yes, it is available for inspection. This issue is described in TSB 21-2389, which I have had preformed on the vehicle by ford but did not fix the issues. 2. Safety is impacted by the shifting gear reducing the available power output and inconsistent speeds. 3. I have had it in with the Ford Dealership and an independent mechanic. Both could reproduce it. Ford updated the software per TSB 21-2389 which is supposed to address the specific problem, but it did not fix it. The independent dealer reset the control unit, but that also did not fix the issue. 4. Only the ford dealership and independent mechanic. 5. There are...

my wife was driving on [XXX] made a left turn on to [XXX] had enough time but because the Transmision slip on the car slowed down and the car coming from [XXX] have at a high speed was able to hit the caron the right back panel i had power train malfunctions alerts messages from the car. Ford could not find the problem now at 54000 miles I need a new transmission the model needs a recall for the Transmission this is a frequent problem that is well documented on the internet. And Ford knows about it and is not doing anything about it. I had to pay for a new Transmission when it should have been covered under warranty.

During normal driving conditions in stop and go traffic the engine coolant over-temperature warning message displayed on the dashboard. Also, for a couple days prior to this incident, the vehicle exhibited hesitation when attempting to accelerate, and the engine was very close to stalling multiple times. There wear no other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The vehicle was towed to a local Ford dealership, where it was confirmed the issue was related to existing TSB 20-2234 (2.0L EcoBoost - Illuminated MIL With Various DTCs And/Or Low Coolant Level, White Smoke From Tailpipe And/Or External Coolant Leak), and repairs were completed.

My car is a 2019 Ford Edge I almost got into a accident because the transmission went out of gear and the car would slow down and sometimes just speed up

2019 Ford Edge ran out of coolant without any indication of low coolant level or check engine light, resulting in loss of heat and poor engine performance due to coolant combustion. According to Ford service (who confirmed the root cause), this was due to the known issue of a faulty EGR cooler [XXX] ) leaking internally, but repairs had to be paid out of pocket. Loss of heat in winter could be dangerous, and in prolonged error state, catastrophic engine failure could occur. Failure occurred at ~55,000 miles.

The car shudders and jerks/lunges forward around 35-40 mph and I am afraid that I’m going to rear end someone should it lunge forward!

Head gasket issues Design defect in engine block Passenger seat belt tension

82000 miles on car. Torque converter and throttle body needs to be replaced

The vehicle was not shifting properly and was surging while traveling at lower and higher speeds. There was NO CHECK ENGINE light on or any other warning lights at all. The vehicle is in my name, however, my daughter drives 9 hours for college by herself and could have been at risk of injury had the vehicle stalled in the wintertime between Minnesota and Kansas. I drove it while she was home over the winter break and noticed it. I took it to a Ford dealer and they said the transmission needed to be replaced. I went from diagnosing there was a problem myself with no warning lights to the dealer saying this is very common for the Ford Ecoboost engines and that the car is not drivable at all. He was also concerned the low coolant level was due to an engine failure which he said they've also seen...

December 19, 2024, engine failure and seatbelt failure. The seatbelt went loose and would not retract, lights started blinking on dash, car smelt funny the air coming through vents in to the cab of vehicle, white smoke out the tail pipe and then warning to pull over, temperature, check engine. I pulled over and called a tow truck. After getting my vehicle towed to certified mechanic, they advised my engine and chassie was 2018 model even though the VIN list it as 2019. I contacted Ford for recall on these items and they said they only go off the VIN. I did research along with the mechanic and there has been recalls and TSB for these items and several others my 2018 parts should have been inspected and FORD refused to do so. The engine failure is due to the coolant leaking into the engine. Whole engine needs replaced. Ford...

vehicle shuddering at speeds between 25-40...vehicle has a little over 58k miles on it...found no recalls but numerous issues of same degree...Ford not wanting to take responsibility for bad product! Costing the owners thousands in repairs!

Slipping transmission, the torque converter clutch performance stuck in off .
