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...

At approximately 10:30 a.m. on 12/28/2025, while traveling on the highway, the panoramic sunroof of my 2019 Ford Edge SEL spontaneously exploded without warning. The failure was accompanied by a sound similar to a gunshot. The weather was clear and sunny, with an ambient outdoor temperature of approximately 20°F. The vehicle had been pre-warmed, and the interior climate control was set to 73°F. There were no vehicles immediately in front of me, no overhead bridges, and no evidence of road debris or external impact. Upon the failure, the tempered glass shattered completely, the majority of the glass was forced into the passenger cabin, landing primarily in the backseat. This created an immediate safety hazard, distraction, and risk of injury from glass debris while maintaining vehicle control at high speeds. There is no "impact crater" or point of origin suggesting a rock chip as the front portion of the roof shattered...

The transmission has consistently been stuttering and slipping. It’s most notable at low speeds accelerating from 0 to 30, 40mph. Around 2-3k rpms it stutters every day. This have been going on since about 90,000 miles.

2019-2021 Ford Edge & Lincoln Nautilus equipped with the 8F35 transmission for defective failures. Ford issued TSB 21-2389, but it does not resolve the issue.
#11699796 |
I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2019 Ford Edge, which now requires a full transmission replacement despite having fewer than 90,000 miles. A major transmission failure at this mileage is highly abnormal for a vehicle of this age and maintenance history. Prior to the failure, I experienced shuddering and irregular shifting, yet the vehicle’s warning lamps did not consistently illuminate to indicate that there was a problem. The lack of warning indicators prevented early detection and contributed to the severity of the issue. I received a repair estimate from Don Seelye Ford in Kalamazoo, MI, totaling $11,534.07 for the transmission replacement and related service. This cost is excessive and entirely unexpected for a vehicle with under 90,000 miles, and it places a significant financial burden on me as the owner. Given the premature nature of this failure, the safety concerns it created, and the extremely high repair cost, I...

Sunroof spontaneously shattered.

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.

Vehicle had a studdering problem, spark plugs replaced, dealership said the spark plugs were masking an “underlying issue with the transmission shudder and torque converter and transmission was at the end of its life”. The unknown of the state of the transmission is the safety concern to me and others. The vehicle has been inspected by Ed Morse Ford. There was no indication other than shudder on acceleration, until the dealership looked at it. The shudder recently started end of August 2025, and has gradually gotten worse until taking to dealership (October 13 2025)

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
#11692178 |
Back up camera often gets stuck on and will show what is behind you while driving forward. Or the screen will be blue and not show anything in forward or reverse. It has happened approximately 35 times since purchasing it in March 2025.

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...

My car started jerking when I drive and it would stall. I went to the dealership and at first they stated that it was probably nothing. They told me I can leave it with them but it would take 2 weeks to be assessed. I was responsible for my own rental car during this "assessment period". After the assessment they determined it was the transmission and it had to be totally rebuilt and it would take another 2 week. Despite fortunately being under power train warranty, the dealership would only cover part of the rental for another 2 weeks.

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...

The car's back up camera fails (no picture, only snow) when below 40 degrees or above 90 degrees. This has been occurring for years. There is a recall for 2021 Ford Edges for back up camera failures - it should be extended to 2019 or earlier.

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!
#11636385 |
For several months, my vehicle had been shaking while driving and when idle; felt as though the transmission was slipping. When reported to the dealership and after constantly having the vehicle serviced, no issue could be found. Recently the vehicle stalled while attempting to reverse. The vehicle had to be turned off and restarted before the gears could be switched properly. No indicator lights came on before or after the incident. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and diagnostics resulted in the following: "Torque converter shutter gears 4 & 5 slipping. Abnormal signals and solenoid. Metal debris found in fluid. Replacement of transmission suggested." The advisor stated that the vehicle is unsafe to drive until the transmission has been replaced.

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!
#11632405 |
Transmission failed due to issue with planetary gear. According to the mechanics, this is not a part that can be accessed or maintained by the consumer. Yet the entire transmission is shot because of it. Cost to repair is $12,000. Ford is paying $5,000. Shouldn't they pay more since it's a defective part? I see reports of transmission issues across Ford Edge models.
#11628885 |
My Ford Edge 2019 only has 68,000 miles and I felt it jerking at 30 mph. I checked with Ford, there is no recall. A transmission shop says the whole thing needs to be replaced because Ford uses cheaper parts on the transmission. Total cost will be $8,000. For a car with low miles. Online forums shows a lot of people have the same issues. Can they be forced to recall these?? Or help me pay for mine to be fixed?
#11625974 |
The vehicle is only five years old with only approx. 47,000 miles on it and we had to have the transmission replaced in September 2024. It's primarily used for driving locally but every year we use it to take a vacation but normally don't put more than 400-500 miles on it during the trip. The Ford dealership we had the transmission replaced at stated it was a factory defect yet we never received any notice about any kind of recall and the dealership we bought it from never mentioned anything about it. Having to have the transmission replaced with so few miles seems pretty odd.

The EGR Cooler (K2GZ-9F464-A) on my 2019 Ford Edge Titanum EcoBoost 2L cracked acutely while driving my children to school. No warning lights came on at any point. Once the car was in park, I noticed large amounts of smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipes. I had my children in the car strapped into car seats. Should the car have caught fire my children's lives would have been in jeopardy. Our lives would have also been at risk for injury should my car have completely failed while driving. This part failure has been confirmed by a repair shop. July 09, 2020, there was a TSB by Ford issued for: 2.0L EcoBoost - Illuminated MIL With Various DTCs And/Or Low Coolant Level, White Smoke from Tailpipe And/Or External Coolant Leak. However, this known failure with TSB information was not dispelled to me (the public) through Ford Pass App or by...

The vehicle is a 2019 Ford Edge AWD. At 39,500 miles white smoke comes out of tailpipe, engine coolant quickly disappears, engine runs rough and check engine comes on. At this point the vehicle is undrivable and won’t respond to gas pedal inputs. Appears to be a known engine issue; however, dealer says it’s an exhaust gas recirculation pump and parts needing replacement, with approximate cost of $2000. This is a premature failure of an engine and may cause a safety concern if driving at highway speeds. Vehicle is out of 5 year warranty with 4/2019 build date.

I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO MITCHELL SELIG FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A PROBLEM WITH COOLANT BURNING WHITE SMOKE OUT OF MY EXHAUST PIPES. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND THEY FOUND THE EGR COOLER LEAKING INTO THE EXHAUST CAUSING ENGINE MISFIRE AND WHITE SMOKE. WHEN I DISCOVERED THE SMOKE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR HAD STALLED TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC THAT COULD'VE RESULTED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. LUCKILY NO ONE HIT ME AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR. I HAD TO REFILL MY COOLANT MULTIPLE TIMES TO AVOID MY ENGINE CATCHING ON FIRE.

I purchased vehicle 4/11/2023 with 41,000 miles. I started to experience concerns with acceleration periodically and clunking in the rear end prior to warranty ending, ford dealership inspector stated that they didn’t find anything. After 80, 000 miles it occurred more often, shuttering between 2-3rmps. Lack of ability to accelerate was a safety concern. A different Ford Dealership inspector reported torque converter clutch stuck open and circuit.Fluid drained indicating debris and heavy metallic and dark, prior to recommended ford manual service.

While driving on a 65 mph road the car quit accelerating and the speed dropped quickly. This unexpected change in speed experienced by a young driver almost caused her to be rear ended and others to have an accident swerving around her. The check engine light came on right as this happened. Dealership replaced EGR Cooler but it did not fix the problem. Vehicle is jerking and shuddering during acceleration.

I purchased this vehicle brand new. Within a year or so of purchasing we noticed some chugging with acceleration. Started out around the 20-30mph area. When we took to out local Ford dealer for routine maintenance we mentioned and they said they didn't find anything wrong. We chalked it up to our imagination. As time progressed it seemed to get worse. We mentioned it a couple more times and they said they didn't hear of an issue or find anything with the inspections. Come to October of 2023 when we were feeling it even at speeds on the interstate, we again took it it. The service man then told us that this is happening with multiple vehicles. They thought they had a fix, but within 2 weeks it returned on other people. He said hold on. We are in contact with Ford to see what to do. He will let...

The car jerks forward when gas pedal is lightly pressed up to 40mph. I'm continually almost hitting cars in traffic even when staying a good distance away. At first it will not go and then all of a sudden jerks. There is a TSB ion the transmission. It does a buck / shudder/jerk

Infotainment system blacked out while driving and then began showing rear camera intermittently while driving. SB issued suggests this issue requires AIN software update. Dealer says SYNC module, TCU and rear camera need to be replaced. Seems to be discrepancy in whether or not this is a covered recall. Please advise.

Transmission, it hard to get it in reverse. It jumps into drive noises when I put into drive. When put in part It still rolls sometimes. When I put it in reverse it rolls forward.

The panoramic Sunroof/Moonroof exploded/imploded while driving at highway speed on interstate 75 in Kentucky. The sound created by the event was terrifying! I thought either a bomb had explode or a high powered bullet had struck the vehicle. A few glass shards got into the cabin, the sunscreen was closed at the time which prevented most of the broken glass from injuring anyone. The vehicle was inspected by a Ford company body shop and one insurance representative. There were no warning or symptoms prior the the failure.

The Moon roof spontaneously combusted with my two babies in the back seat. There were no cracks or chips and I wasn’t even driving 15 mph.

I was driving down the road when out of nowhere my sunroof started raining glass in the inside of my car!! There was no Crack or stone that hit it nothing!! There needs to be a recall on this had I known this was an issue I never would have bought a vehicle with a sunroof gad I known!! The Ford dealership said they hadn't heard about anything like this happening but where I was suppose to have it fixed they had another ford 2019 edge same thing happend! I now have to pay 500 dollars for something that's not my fault! I did research and there have been issues with the sunroof randomly exploding and shattering! Please do better ford! There so quick to put a recall on something that isn't safety related but an exploding sunroof isn't an issue?!? Not happy!!

This incident is related to the rear view camera and the sync/radio interface in my vehicle. The recent recall for ford explorers in relation to the rear cameras are also present in the ford edge. In addition to these issues, when I am driving my rear view camera will turn on while driving. This has occurred on the freeway and has impacted how my car reacts to collision assists, lane keeping/departure functions. I have taken my car to ford and they have neglected the issue and said there is nothing they can do. I have left voicemails to get my car looked at again and reported to ford but seeing the recall headlines today about ford suvs I wanted to report that this is also happening yo ford edges and has caused issues for me. I believe this to be a glitch in the sync software. This has been an...

The moon roof broke. As we were driving down the highway we heard a metallic ping. After we parked I was hit in the head by a piece of glass from the roof. When I looked the drivers front corner on the mood roof broke right then. As I looked each of the four corners were broken.
#11469354 | Crash
I was leaving for work and I got to the end of my road and realized I forgot my wallet at home. I turned around and came back to my house. I parked in my driveway where there is a wooden gate. I parked my car, turned it off. Got out of the car and it was rolling forward toward me and my gate. Luckily the gate stopped it from rolling and I jumped into it and put the emergency brake on first then I notice the knob was in P(Park). I was not injured but the front of my passenger bumper which hit my gate got scuffed up. They say at ford there is mp recall bit when I googled my scenerio it has happened to several other people and now ford has issued a recall.

Our 2019 Ford Edge started to have repeating issue with the Sync touch screen. The screen would turn blue and nothing can be done to reset it in the car. One time a when the screen went blue, I pulled over and turned the car for at least 30 minutes. And it still had an issue when I restarted the car. I went as far as disconnecting the battery in order to get the Sync system to reset. Ford needs to come up with a system update to fix this reoccurring problem.
#11449241 | Fire
The vehicle caught fire. It started smoking from under the hood on the driver's side while I was driving slowly in traffic. I pulled over and the smoke continued and caught fire a few seconds later. The fire department was nearby and came quickly to put the fire out. -My safety was put at risk by the car catching fire spontaneously. -The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a service center -The vehicle has not yet been inspected by any authorities or agencies -There were no warning lights or indications that anything was wrong before it caught on fire
#11443703 |
Transmission engagement concerns, harsh upshifting. The car bucks when going through the gears. Dealership cannot reproduce the problem. Delays in acceleration while pulling out onto busy roads are a safety concern. No one else has inspected the problem. There are no warning lights.
