2019 Ford Edge Problems

At low speed, the transmission does not shift smoothly. Upon further acceleration past 40 mph, it continues to operate in normal fashion

The vehicle has experienced transmission issues. I received a powertrain malfunction light in August, and the car suddenly had trouble shifting in low gears resulting in jerking. When driving, it continued to have issues. Then, it wouldn't go into reverse and the jerking increased before having it towed to get evaluated. There were no signs and it appears that MANY of these transmissions are reported to have issues.

I am having problems with my transmission; it puts itself into park when we tried to put it in gear. It has been sitting in my back driveway for almost a year as we can't drive it. When this happened, we had just pulled into my front driveway after a 2+ hour trip and put the car in park. Then without turning it off, went to put it in reverse to move it - the car BY ITSELF went into park - we Watched it and have it recorded!! We have taken it to dealerships within the months before this - to begin with, when it shuddered when it drove, but they told us it was a computer issue. It kept getting worse until this happened - thank God we weren't still traveling on the interstate when it put itself into park!!!

Full transmission failure, resulting in a full transmission replacement required. The problem has been confirmed by more than one independent service center. The check engline light came on and off for about week before the official diagnosis. From what I've found this is a common issue that many many owners have also had and suggested filling an official complaint here so that Ford is held responsible.

I am wanting to share my concerns about my 2019 Ford Edge. My Edge has 64,500 miles on it and the transmission needs replacing; it is sitting in my back driveway. My daughter and I just made it home from a trip when the transmission gave out - when we pulled into the driveway, and it was still in gear, it put itself into park! We tried to put it in drive and reverse and again, as we were watching the gear dial - it put itself into park again! Before that, I had noticed some issues about jerking and revving up so I took it to the nearest Ford dealership - after hooking it up to the computer several times (while it was UNDER 60,000 miles on the odometer), the dealership told me that they changed a few things on the computer and 'it would drive like hell for a while, but it will get used to my driving and get better' !! After contacting them more, they told me that it needed a new throttle body. I wanted a second opinion so a friend trailered it to another Ford dealership and they tested the transmission liquids and told me that it needs a new transmission. (It was now over 60K.) Ford said that if I would pay them $4500, they MIGHT cover the other the $4500 for the new transmission. I had my Edge for about a year when this happened and now it has been sitting in my driveway since last summer!! I am still making the monthly payment on it, plus full coverage insurance for a pretty driveway ornament. My friend found paperwork regarding transmissions like mine having troubles (and he showed it to the local dealership - they did nothing) so I have been watching for recalls on the transmission. If you have any suggestions, etc please let me know - I do not have $4500 to fix my car...... When this all started, I contacted Ford and started a case on it. (8/26/24). Case #XXX. I was told by the dealership to start it myself and keep an eye on it; but when I called Ford regarding it - they told me that the dealership should be the ones doing this......

Computer screen does not work all the time, and the backup camera does not work, and when it does, it will stay on while moving forward. The computer screen freezes up and will not allow me to adjust the temperature or the radio and other options that are normally on the screen.

Bought a used 2019 Ford Edge, and transmission had issues within 2weeks of minimal operation!! Transmission slippage, does not go into gear or has a long pause going into gear (even right from park). VERY HARD shifts in lower gears upon upshift AND downshift. Also, gets worse the longer you drive it. It jerks, bucks, lurches, snaps your neck forward or backward, or does not go at all!! After this happens for a few minutes, it wouldn't even go into reverse!! That's just TRYING to drive it. As you might imagine, it's quite difficult to concentrate on road signs, hazards, pedestrians, and other cars whilst you're trying to drive this thing!! How could FORD possibly even think this is a safe vehicle!!

while traveling the car begins lurching and jerking until it reaches 40 MPH, At that seed it resumes traveling smoothly. As soon as it slows down the lurching and jerking resume. We have taken it to a dealership, and they claim it is the transmission. The problem started approximately 2 months ago at 74,000 miles.

On June 3, 2026, my 2019 Ford Edge (2.0L EcoBoost) experienced a sudden loss of motive power and stalled in the middle of a busy, high-traffic intersection. Before stalling, the vehicle emitted thick white smoke from the exhaust. This was a life-threatening situation as I was stranded in moving traffic. The vehicle was towed to Mike Burkart Ford, where it was diagnosed with an internal EGR cooler leak. This is a known issue documented by Ford in TSB 20-2234. Despite the safety-critical nature of the stall, there is currently no active recall for this component in the 2019 model year.

Safety Complaint – 2019 Ford Edge Transmission and Engine Shutdown Issues To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint to report ongoing safety-related defects with my 2019 Ford Edge, which I purchased new. At 30,000 miles, the auto on/off stopped working and was not fixed. After approximately 50,000 miles, the vehicle began shutting off after refueling. At 68,000 miles, the transmission started shuddering during acceleration. There was no warning light, I just noticed that something was wrong. This behavior is extremely concerning, as it creates a risk of sudden loss of power while driving and could result in an accident. Ford is aware of these issues but has not issued a recall. I paid to have the torque converter replaced; however, the same transmission problem has returned. Ford has declined to provide further assistance. Additionally, the check engine light is now illuminated, which Ford attributes to a software issue. Despite multiple repair attempts and clear safety concerns, these problems remain unresolved. I respectfully request that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration review this matter, as the defects appear to be systemic and pose a potential risk to drivers. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

My drivers side seat belt is getting stuck while pulling it out. It clicks and becomes stuck and I can’t put it on. When I do finally get it on I became stuck on 3 separate occasions and couldn’t physically get it off without help. I haven’t brought it to be inspected because my vin is not listed in the recall of driver side seatbelt. No lamps or messages prior.

The front passenger seatbelt will not adjust and is stuck. It worked when last used. I parked and when we got in to go, it wouldn’t work . It was not due to any misuse and is a safety issue as the passenger has to plug it in so the seatbelt notice will go off. I don’t know why it is not able to be adjusted.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while changing the lug nuts on the wheels, the contact became aware that the lug nuts were swollen. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, and it was determined that the lug nuts needed to be replaced due to the outer shells being swollen. The dealer informed the contact that the lug nuts were defective due to the swelling, which caused the lug nuts to no longer fit the studs properly. The contact stated that the failure was a known issue. The lug nuts were replaced with solid steel lug nuts without caps. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

Scheduled tire rotation with Ford. Unable to complete because of lug nuts swelling which Ford is aware of. My lug wrench does not fit. I now have to spend $200.00 to replace all lug nuts on a 2019 Ford Edge. This should be a recall issue and at least a safety issue. To be stranded on the road only to find out the lug wrench doesn't fit anymore 😒

WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH, THE CAR SEEMS TO BE SWAYING LEFT AND RIGHT

while driving at slow and or highway speed limit, while turning to the rightor left, the steering wheel avts as if being hung up?catching onto something. it takes a little harder pull to release it out of the turn causing the vehicle at highway speeds to almost be uncontrollable. This in turn causes myself and others to be put in danger. While searching the internet for possible matches to my situation, I was able to find using AI that multiple other owners/drivers had similiar issues. The fix is either a sensor replacement, gear box replacement, software update or all three with costs ranging from 500-2500 in repairs. No warning lamps/messages/or other symptons have occcurred prior to the incidents. They began appearing a few days ago. It has not been inspected as of yet. I am making an appointment for next week and will further update.
