2019 FORD EDGE Power Train 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...

Transmission has been in the dealer multiple times due to transmission slipping, exhibiting a shudder/buck/jerk/hesitation to shift while accelerating and driving up to 35 mph. The software in the powertrain control module (PCM) was reset on multiple visits in an attempt to correct the issue prior to the physical partial repair of the transmission. At Odometer reading 69,685 mi Services Performed Vehicle serviced Automatic transmission cooler flushed Oil and filter changed Torque converter replaced Transmission checked Transmission fluid flushed Transmission rebuilt This vehicle is now out of warranty and is starting to experience transmission performance issues again (02/2026).

The transmission/torque converter completely failed after being maintained while driving on the highway without any warning. The transmission began jerking and bucking, almost sending me into the oncoming lane while driving. Coupled with the lane departure avoidance system automatically turning my wheel, the vehicle became uncontrollable. Even though i removed my foot from the gas an tried braking, the transmission would not disengage for a few seconds causing me to almost lose control of the vehicle. Then the transmission just gave out and I was unable to pull off some where safe without issue. There were no warnings on the vehicle, no lights, nothing signaled an issue until after i was able to get the car to stop at the side of the road. The vehicle had to be towed due to not being able to drive at all. It has been inspected and I have been told the transmission...

Vehicle has 70000 miles , transmission started shuddering upon acceleration up to about 60 mph. Rpm’s jump even remaining at steady speed. Took it to the dealership and was told the entire transmission needed replaced.

We are having transmission issues with our 2019 Ford Edge. Sudden shifting, very jerky. The opposite of a smooth performing transmission. You step on the gas, you hear the RPM's going but it doesn't want to go. Then all of the sudden it shifts while the rpm's are elevated and then jerks you. It seems like this is really bad for the transmission and making things worse. I don't know if this is necessarily a safety issue but it definitely would be if trying to merge onto a major highway, driving up a hill, or my wife got stranded somewhere that is not safe. This is my wife's car and I'm not sure what to do but in my opinion it not safe do these concerns.

Torque converter needs replacement cost $4,000. 81000 miles on vehicle.

While accelerating up to 40 mph the vehicle shudders with every shift up to that point after that speed is encountered any speed above that no more shudder. I’ve read on multiple other people’s forms that they’re having the same issue. Not everyone has money just laying around to fix a problem that is frequent on these year make and models. Ford should do something to fix a known issue.

I have < 60K on this Edge. The transmission needed replacing (out of warranty barely). This is my wife’s vehicle. She’s been retired for three years and hardly drives it. This is not a fair wear and tear replacement. It jerked and bucked between 15 and 40 miles an hour. There is even a Ford service bulletin on it. That’s not elevated to a recall. I worked with the dealership and Ford gave me $2000 off the final bill, but they should’ve given me a new transmission for nothing and I would’ve paid for labor. That seemed fair. You would think that if there is a major service bulletin on it, then Ford would work with you or at least get extend some Goodwill. I believe the Ford rep gave me $2000 off but they should’ve supplied the transmission because it was a quality control issue not a use issue....

Faulty transmission. Needs to be replaced after only 99,000 miles.

Torque converter shudder during acceleration per ford TSB 21-2154. Removed and replaced torque converter with factory new to remedy issue. No check engine lights per TSB 21-2154.

The transmission has severe shuddering when accelerating up to 40mph. I’ve had the torque converter replaced twice and the issue has remained. Over time the speed of shuddering has expanded up to 40mph before it drives smoothly.

AFter replacing torque converter 3 months ago, I now need a complete transmission replacement due to losing gears 3-5 and reverse.

While driving my vehicle on the first day of 2026 at a speed between 20 to 40 mph, I suddenly noticed that the car stopped responding to the gas pedal and would not accelerate. I immediately felt a loss of power. I pulled over to the side of the road, turned the engine off completely, and then restarted it. When I tried to shift into reverse, the car didn’t respond. I switched to Drive, and it moved forward, but a message appeared on the dashboard stating: “Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power.” Shortly after, the check engine light came on. I checked the fault through ford app and the message was “ The powertrain control system has detected one of the transmission shift solenoids is not responding as expected or is stuck in the on position. Some transmission gears may not being available resulting in delayed or harsh shifts into another...

Transmission needs to be rebuilt and car has less than 70k miles. Torque converter is failing and leaking fragments through the transmission.

I had to have the torque converter replaced about 3 months ago and now the transmission is slipping and not shifting into gear.

While accelerating at points in gear shift change at the speeds of 20 mph, 30 mph, and 40 mph, the transmission bucks, which I found out the hard way during an ice storm, creates a un-smooth shift which leads you spinning the wheels while over accelerating to correct/lessen the bucking making the vehicle less safe and controllable. I work at a Ford dealership and know this issue is happening on Ford/Lincoln models sharing this same transmission with mileage anywhere from 25,000 - 80,000 +.

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...

After extensive research, this seems to be a very widespread issue spanning across many years of production. I am experiencing a very sharp/sudden jerk or lurch when accelerating at slower speeds. It is not as noticeable / doesn't happen at highway speeds. It's as if the transmission is trying to decide what gear it wants to be in. It has almost caused an accident I would have been claimed at fault for by shuddering and failing to accelerate while driving. There are no engine codes/warning lights. Multiple Ford techs were unable to diagnose the issue and a local shop quoted $8000+ for a transmission replacement. This has happened since the car was bought brand new- currently at ~78k miles.

Torque converter on my 2019 Ford edge they want $4000 to fix it I have 61,000 miles it stutters when I drive it at Low speeds. It’s hesitant when I take off

The car would stall every time I put it in drive or reverse. It would also randomly stop while moving and cars have almost hit me due to this. There are no warning lights on the dash to see what it could be. It would shake like crazy and not move. According to forums, these transmissions fail or the torque converter becomes locked up. There are also law suits pending due to this issue. I was stuck in an intersection with cars trying to drive by me and feared for my safety. I would like to have someone inspect the transmission due to my safety and my family’s safety. There were no warnings of the failure and still nothing appearing on the dash.

The transmission stutters at 20 to 40 mph. Per the Ford dealership in Toledo, Ohio that is a transmission problem and known by the Ford dealerships and Ford manufacture with the Edges. The employee told me that the Fords are known for transmission problems, and the Ford manufacturer has done nothing to fix the issue. I’m wondering why there is not a recall on this and they’re they are not being fixed when they are still being made. The cost of the repair is anywhere from $3900 to $8000 depending on what they find once they tear it apart. They estimate is attached.There are numerous complaints online and you whoever is receiving these complaints have received numerous complaints for the Ford edge transmission, especially for the 2019’s. I would appreciate a response and resolution to this problem.

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...

I purchased a 2019 Ford Edge in 2021. About a year ago my service engine light came on. I took it to my dealer and was told there was a torque converter issue, but it would not leave me on the side of the road. I have tolerated this stuttering issues more than a year now every time I drive this vehicle. The maintenance on this car has been well maintained. I took my car in for routine maintenance this week and asked about the torque converter issue and was told it would be $6,000 to replace/repair and there could be more issues related to the same that could come up later. It is time for new tires and brakes but doing all of this is more than the value of the car. It appears the torque converter issue is a known problem with the Ford Edge as well as...

The automatic transmission in my 2019 Ford Edge SEL, stumbles in the middle gears as it shifts through the 8 shift points of the transmission. My car has 68,000 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle jerked while shifting gears. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the torque converter had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.

I purchased a 2019 Ford Edge in October of 2023. In the winter/spring of 2025, the vehicle developed an acceleration stuttering issue. Without being fully aware of the issue, I tried a variety of fixes. Fuel injection cleaners were the main attempt at a simple fix. Shortly thereafter, the cars gave an alert for a "evap" issue. I thought this may be the problem, so I scheduled a fix with my local dealer. That issue was determined to be a wiring issue and the stuttering was still present when I received the vehicle back. The issue continued until I was able to schedule another appointment at the dealership in December of 2025. Upon diagnosis, the dealership notified me that there was a torque converter issue and quoted me $4640 to get started on fixing the issue. I have read that these fixes have been made but it did not fix...

Car will not shift and shutters, this is putting myself and others at risk. The problem was confirmed by a dealership. There is now a check engine light in the vehicle

Torque converter failed at 82000 miles. Had been showing hesitation for some time. Found out this is a common problem for this year and model. No recall yet. I just paid $4226 to replace torque converter at the Ford dealership! There were no warning lights or messages.

Purchased 2019 ford edge 9/14/2025, used with 53 thousand miles. On 12/06/2025, the transmission is leaking from a gasket and slow to accelerate with a burning smell and dirty transmission fluid. Miles now 58 thousand miles.

My vehicle has the 8F35 transmission and is experiencing severe jerking and shuddering. With the current snow and slick roads, the car feels unsafe to drive. The sudden jerks make me fear I could lose control, slide into another car, or end up in a ditch. I’m also worried about the loss of power this transmission issue causes, which increases the risk of an accident—especially when pulling out onto the highway. I’m genuinely afraid it may jerk, stall, and cause a serious collision. Regarding TSB 21-2389, my local Ford dealership told me the reprogramming would not fix the issue and didn’t attempt it. They stated that I need a torque converter replacement, which is a $3,300 repair that Ford should be responsible for. Allowing vehicles with known safety-related transmission problems to remain on the road is unacceptable. I also followed up in June of this year about TSB 25-2154. I...

At approximately 70,000 miles, the car has started to surge and shudder at nominal speeds (between 20-40 MPH, but will continue to shudder even with my cruise control on in highway conditions.) This is a known issue with this vehicle and has been reported by multiple people. I took it into the dealership and it's going to cost me $5000 just to replace the converter. There is no reason that my car should be experiencing before even getting close to 100,000 miles.

Torque converter shutter causing delay acceleration, which can cause issues in traffic. I understand from the transmission shop that the whole transmission is likely to fail because of it which could cause an accident

Car bucks and shudders when i accelerate. Ford dealer wants over $8,000 to replace torque converter.

Transmission and torque converter went out at only 83,000 miles. Many other ford edge owners have had the same problem with their transmission and converter as well. This caused me car to hesitate and sputter on the highway which could have caused an accident.

1) Torque converter 2) studdering and shuddering at take off and acceleration 3) confirmed at dealership on 11/28/2025 4) ford dealership service technician is only inspection 5) no messages only physical symptoms of the shuddering and studdering at take off and acceleration.

Tranmssion was Jerking has been to dealer mutiple times for reprogramming and torque converter replacement and now at 123,000 the transmission needs to be replaced

My 2019 Ford Edge's transmission completely failed. It is $8,067.89 to replace. It only had 110,000 miles on it when the transmission stopped working. The car stopped working in the middle of traffic. It would go forward instead of backward and vice versa, and then completely stopped going. We're lucky we weren't stranded far away from home or on the highway when this decided to happen.

Vehicle would not go into reverse suddenly when leaving parking lot, when putting in drive it would jerk forward, yellow tool light came on. Took to dealership immediately and they claim transmission is gone. Ford extended warranty wants a full tear down to rebuild

Know issue by ford company defective torque converter with service report bulletins for recommended fix’s for there transmission shuddering 20mph to 35mph..failing under @ 83,000 miles. Ford has an open class action lawsuit. And is stiffing people with extremely high repair bill. On average 7,000 to fix. Something needs to be done about this please

My vehicle began jumping when switching from drive to reverse. When I placed the car into reverse, it stalled and would not switch into reverse or neutral. The car stalled in the middle of a parking lot. The check engine light did not come on initially, and when it did, it did not remain on for very long. The car prompted a Shift Solenois B Stuck On error (P0757:00-E8), as well as an inability to engage neutral error (P073D:00-6C) and transmission friction element error (P2701:00-6C). The valve body has been replaced, but the transmission is still promoting the same errors.

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

Was unable to accelerate quickly. Very scary. Torque converter lurching.

Power train malfunction warning and chugging while accelerating

The Edge loses power and jerks and shudders during accelerations. This can major issues when trying to merge

Vehicle began shuddering and was inspected by Don Hinds Ford Fishers (Scott Krouse). Was told that a new Torque Converter was needed by Don Hinds Ford Fishers Shuddering makes acceleration a challenge which puts everyone at risk of an accident, even death. No warning lights appeared, making this more dangerous.

Torque convertor failed at approximately 72,000 miles. Car began to stutter between 20 and 30 MPH. This has been confirmed by the Ford dealership and is a known issue. There were know warning lamps or messages.

Car began to violently shudder starting at around 15 mph up to 35 mph when accelerating. As time went on range of speed where it would shudder increased.

2019 Ford Edge with 69k miles experiencing shuddering from stop to 30mph. Took to Ford dealership where Torque Converter and Transmission issues found consistent with the existing Advisory. Transmission was replaced at a cost of $10k. Ridiculous amount of complaints and common issues for Edge owners all over the internet.

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...

2019 Ford edge 40000 miles and has shuttering and jerky shifting below 30mph. Dealer says torque converter is bad also auto start stop not working. Car is well taken care of and garaged. This seems to be common issues with this model and year vehicle should be a recall
