2020 Ford Edge

The transmission has a very bad shuddering at low speeds and under load. I am very concerned when entering an on ramp that the car is not going to get up to speed and cause an accident.

i KEEP GETTING A DASH ALERT THAT THE TRAILER IS CONNECTED WHEN i DON'T HAVE A TRAILER HOOKED UP ALONG WITH A MESSEGE THAT STATES BLIND SPOT &CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT DEACTIVATED, TRAILER ATTATCHED. THIS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN SEVERAL WEEKS

Check engine light came on for a power train malfunction. The problem is a failing torque converter or its control (TCC) causing transmission shudder 65,000 miles

My backup camera has the same issue as the recall for the 2021-2024 Ford Edge. Why is my year not included in the recall?

The transmission keeps shuddering and jerking at low speeds. I have problems driving behind school buses or any slow moving vehicle. The vehicle has a problem when merging onto highways and loses acceleration power due to jerking. I have spoken to 3 separate edge owners who all have the same problem. Some of us can't afford the repairs but these vehicles are still being sold with this known problem.

My 2020 Ford Edge Titanium AWD, with approximately 64,000 miles, recently began exhibiting a brief vibration or shudder when accelerating at low speeds, below 40 mph. The vibration lasts approximately one to two seconds and occurs around the time the vehicle shifts gears under acceleration. The vehicle does not exhibit the vibration while maintaining a constant speed. Prior to this issue appearing, there were no warning lights, messages, or other indicators of a transmission problem. I brought the vehicle to a Ford dealership for inspection and diagnosis. After evaluating the vehicle, the dealership informed me that the transmission needed to be replaced and provided an estimate of approximately 11,000 to install a remanufactured transmission. After receiving this estimate, I contacted the dealership to ask whether any less invasive diagnostic or corrective measures had been attempted before recommending complete transmission replacement. I asked whether a powertrain control module (PCM) reprogramming or transmission fluid service had been performed, pursuant to Tech. Serv. Bul. 21-2389. The service advisor told me he did not see a PCM reprogram listed in the service notes and placed me on hold to confirm with the technician. When he returned, he stated that the technician had not performed a PCM reprogram because it allegedly could have worsened the issue. I was also informed that replacing the transmission fluid could potentially worsen the condition, and therefore it was not attempted. The dealership confirmed that the issue involved torque converter shudder but recommended replacing the entire transmission assembly rather than attempting other diagnostic or corrective steps. The unexpected shudder during acceleration raises concerns about drivability and the potential for the condition to worsen, particularly when accelerating into traffic or from intersections. At this time, the vehicle has only been inspected by the dealer.

Transmission Fluid Leak/Fire Risk (Recall 20S49): Certain 2020 Edge models have missing or loose bolts on the start/stop accumulator endcap, which can cause a leak and increase the risk of fire. Rearview Camera Failure (Recall 20V572000): A common issue where the rear camera may display a blank or distorted image, failing to comply with safety standards. Driveshaft Seizure (Recall 21S43): A potential lack of lubrication in the rear drive unit can cause it to seize, leading to loss of drive and vehicle control. Inoperable HVAC Blower Motor: A potential defect causing the blower motor to fail, which can hinder windshield defrosting. Power train alert not going into park break light issue

My vehicle is a 2020 Ford Edge SEL. I am experiencing ongoing transmission shuddering, jerking, and RPM fluctuations during normal driving. At slow speeds, the vehicle jerks and shudders, making it very difficult to drive smoothly in traffic and when accelerating from a stop. At higher speeds, the RPM gauge jumps while driving, and the vehicle feels like it is slipping or shifting unpredictably. The condition has been getting worse over time. This problem matches the known defect described in Ford Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 20-2081 related to transmission shudder. My vehicle’s year, make, and model match those affected by this known issue; however, my VIN is not included in any recall. The unpredictable jerking, shuddering, and RPM fluctuations create unsafe driving conditions, especially when merging into traffic, turning, or maintaining speed. I believe this is a widespread defect affecting the safe operation of the vehicle and should be investigated by NHTSA for a potential recall. I am submitting this complaint to request that this defect be reviewed for investigation and corrective action.

The transmission shutters and jerks

my 2020 ford edge suddenly started failing to catch the gear when driving, the rpms would rev but the car would not speed up, when it would finally catch, the car would jerk forward. No warning, no heads up, I just got in my car one day and the problem existed. I bought this car new, I am the sole owner and I routinely take it in for upkeep. It has 62,000 miles on it so JUST over the 60k warranty. I took the car to the local Ford dealership who informed me that the torque converter was going out. After looking the issue up online, its was apparent that this is a known issue very common the this year. This is a faulty part that has yet to be recalled. I asked the Ford dealership about this issue and they confirmed that it was a very common problem and they had 2 vehicles currently in their shop for the same problem. The quote to correct this issue is thousands of dollars.

The transmission has completely gone out on my 2020 Ford edge the repair cost is $5500. I should not need a new transmission on a five year-old vehicle. There are several reports on this issue please advise.

Was taken to mechanic shop and then sent to dealership for shudder issue and sound come from rear. Changed rear differential fluid. Problem/sound persisted. Between 25-45 vehicle transmission is cutting out. Awd light, Powertrain lights and brake lights are on and vehicle went in to limp mode at 55mph due to torque converter. Still currently in shop.

Coolant entered into the engine, causing catastrophic failure. There was no warning on the dash of low coolant or anything until it happened. By then, it was too late! This is a known problem by Ford Motor Company, yet they have done nothing to assist owners with repairs by offsetting costs or performing them for free!!

Transmission jumped out of gear when I turned the corner. 2nd Ford edge I own that has done this. 1st car sitting in driveway waiting to get fixed.

I bought this car on 12/15 with 97k miles on it, and the second day it started jilting very badly when SLIGHTLY acceleration. Now, I have noticed when I am at a stop light, it takes an additional 2-5 seconds to “Jult” back up to speed while everyone else that was at the light is very much so ahead of me. There were a few times the car didn’t accelerate, and the person behind me almost hit me.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while reversing in a parking lot, the rearview camera image failed to be displayed. The message “Camera not Available” was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with the failure of the rearview camera image; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, where it was confirmed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V123000 (Back Over Prevention). The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.

I take my to the ford dealership one day for oil change. The mechanics do a full multi inspection and find some issues that needed to be fixed, nothing about the transmission and transmission fluid being low or being dark. So I requested to do oil change and a recommended Engine Tune-up. I get my car back. However, about a week or two later I start noticing some shuddering and vibrations in the car when I hit the gas pedal. I take the car back to the dealership. I tell them how I had been there a few weeks back for oil change but after that I started noticing weird movements in the car. So they take the car to do an inspection on it. Then the mechanic/advisor guy says the vehicle needs a new transmission due to a failed torque converter. And he said the new transmission will cost $8700. And he charged me again for the inspection of the car. The vehicle is a 2020 Ford Edge with just 85400 miles. How does a 6 yr old car with less mileage blow a transmission that fast.

Vehicle was purchased CPO ( Certified Pre Owned ) with only 43K miles on the odometer on or about DEC , 7-10 2025. Since purchase of the vehicle it has been shifting, shuddering and tugging between 0-30mph. The vehicle shifts hard and doesn’t catch or change gears fast enough causing the engine to be caught in high RPM.

Safety Defects and Mechanical Failures My 2020 Ford Edge (VIN: [XXX] ) is plagued by systemic safety defects that render it unroadworthy under Pennsylvania law (37 Pa. Code § 301.2).[1, 2] The 8F35 transmission suffers from a documented "shudder" and loss of motive power (TSB 21-2389), creating a high risk of collisions in traffic.[3, 4, 5] Additionally, the vehicle is subject to critical federal recalls: Recall 21S02 (21V-011) regarding sudden rear axle seizure [6, 7, 8] and Recall 20S49 (20V-550) regarding a lethal fire hazard from leaking transmission fluid.[9, 10, 11] The engine also exhibits a design flaw known as "coolant intrusion" (TSB 19-2346), which leads to catastrophic engine failure and hydro-lock.[12, 13, 14] ​Deceptive Trade Practices and Lender Liability CarMax sold this vehicle as "Quality Certified" without fulfilling the disclosure requirements mandated by the 2022 Multistate Attorney General Settlement.[15, 16] Specifically, CarMax failed to provide the required standalone, signed disclosure form for open safety recalls prior to the sale.[17, 18, 15] Because this transaction was financed through Santander Consumer USA, the lender is derivatively liable for CarMax’s deceptive acts under the FTC Holder Rule (16 C.F.R. § 433).[19, 2] This federal rule allows me to assert all legal claims and defenses against Santander that I have against CarMax, including breach of the implied warranty of merchantability, which overrides any "As-Is" disclaimer when a vehicle is sold in a non-roadworthy condition INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

8F35 transmission problems, poor shifts, jumpy shifts, vibration at 45-52 mph. vibration at 59-61 mph tying to figure out if it needs to stay in 7th gear or change to the final 8th gear. At any speed below 35 mpg the transmission is challenged to understand itself and its purpose on this earth. i am scared to death to drive under 35 mph because the transmission becomes extremely unstable. Up shifting then thinking it made a mistake and violently down shifting then a lazy up shift because the transmission realized it didn't need to down shift in the first place.
