2019 Ford Edge Powertrain & Transmission Problems

Basically these cars are known to have major transmission problems that cause transmission failure, and my car is now experiencing the symptoms leading to that failure. I've seen a lot of people complaining about it, and though I guess it is my turn to get in on the complaints. Wasnt sure where else to do something like this.

Transmission failure. Way to common with these transmissions and touqure converters

Our torque converter has gone out on our vehicle. It has been meticulously maintained with fluid changes and every service when needed at mileage intervals. It started showing symptoms at 63k miles which is unacceptable for a transmission to start dying already. Looking online lots of other drivers have the same issue but ford refuses to acknowledge this transmission sucks and wants us to cover their incompetence. Would never buy another ford again.

My 2019 ford edge has a powertrain malfunction and it states to seek the dealership immediately! The suv is swaying badly and the auto start/stop components scares me whenever restarts and there is a burning smell- its nearly causing me to lose control once it restarts.. please help im affraid to drive it. This is my only means of transportation and i am dissabled.

2019 Ford Edge shudders and fails to accelerate making it difficult and unsafe to merge with traffic, execute left turns, and drive safely. There are no warning lights. This appears to be a known problem with the torque converter but no recall has been issued.

2019 FORD EDGE SEL POWERTRAIN FAILURE AT 69,120 MILES

Transmission is Jerking & Shuddering TSB 21-2389 and 21-2081 however mine isn’t recalled YET and needs IMMEDIATE attention it’s doing the exact same

Torque converter failure caused a transmission rebuilt covered under the 5 year 75,000 mile warranty. Approximately 14 months later it failed again this time Ford wants me to pay for their incompetence upwards of $5000 because it is past the 5 years. This is a major ongoing problem with the Ford Edge and should be subjected to a recall because the failure rate is so high.

Vehicle has 78000 miles on it and has started to stutter/struggle to find gears between what I believe to be 3rd and 5th gear. It generally happens between 25-40 mph. This has consistently happened whether the vehicle is cold or warm. This, according to many forums I’ve seen, is a common issue with this model of vehicle and transmission. It was brought into my local ford dealership on 2/17/2026 with approximately 75000 miles on it and they told us we are in need of a transmission replacement.

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 just completely went out, possibly due to a leak in the linkage I was not aware of, and was not caught during my last inspection/ fluid change. Multiple items failed on the vehicle including the recently recalled back up camera/sensor issue that I was never advised about by the manufacturer.

While driving on the highway the vehicle lost all power and it completely shutdown which was very scary. There was never any warning lights on dashboard and was told it was probably due to bad gasoline. Now the cruise control is shutting off an long with hesitation. Again no warning lights. Ford dealership said it was the spark plugs and coils, wanted to charge me $800! Local mechanic ran a diagnostics confirmed it is the torque converter…alot of confusion with ford diagnostic . This is a huge safety issue when driving in traffic, is very expensive and needs to be addressed.

My car hesitates to shift, gear slips, shudders, and loss acceleration. I almost got into accident while merging on the highway because I lost acceleration due to gear slips. This car is dangerous.

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.

At 78k miles the transmission/torque converter needs to be replaced due to a “shudder” felt between 20-30 mph at lower rpm’s. Higher engine rpm’s (rapid acceleration) and the shudder is not felt - but the issue is still there. Repair cost from Ford was quoted at $9600 for a new transmission. This is ridiculous. Seems like a great way for Ford to ensure they get paid downstream as well as up front.

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

Torque converter slipping. No one was injured during or after driving the vehicle. Ford dealership service center confirmed problem and made repairs. They was never any warning lights that turned on.

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

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 this issue. Please help, this car costs too much, and I fear for my wife and newborn's safety with transmission issues.

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.
