2019 Ford Edge — Known Issues & Recalls

Your 2019 Ford Edge experienced a powertrain failure at 69,120 miles. The powertrain — which includes your transmission, engine, and drivetrain — stopped working properly and may require significant repair or replacement.

Your torque converter has failed at 63,000 miles despite regular maintenance and fluid changes. The owner reports this is unacceptable for a transmission component at this mileage and notes other drivers report similar issues. Fixing this will likely require transmission service or replacement of the torque converter.

Your car shudders noticeably when driving between 30-55 MPH. Your dealer diagnosed this as a failing torque converter and found burned transmission fluid with metal shavings inside, indicating internal transmission damage. Your transmission will need to be replaced to fix this issue.

Your car shudders and hesitates when driving at lower speeds, feeling like it might stall. The dealership diagnosed this as a faulty torque converter that needs to be replaced. The fix will involve replacing the torque converter, which is a critical transmission component.

Your transmission's torque converter failed and was rebuilt under warranty at 14 months of ownership. The same part failed again shortly after, but Ford is now asking you to pay approximately $5,000 for repairs because the warranty has expired. You believe this is a recurring defect that should warrant a recall due to the high failure rate.

Your transmission is shuddering when driving between 20-30 mph at lower engine speeds, though the shuddering stops during rapid acceleration. A Ford dealership quoted $9,600 to replace the entire transmission and torque converter. The repair likely involves removing and replacing the transmission assembly, which is a major job.

Your 2019 Ford Edge has a powertrain issue that Ford documented in technical service bulletin 21-2389. You reported this problem to Ford, but they were unable to resolve it. The issue remains unresolved and may require further diagnosis or service.

Your car shudders and hesitates when you try to accelerate, making it hard to merge into traffic or turn left safely. Even though no warning lights appear on your dashboard, the problem seems to be related to the torque converter. A transmission specialist or Ford dealer will need to diagnose and likely replace or repair the torque converter to restore smooth acceleration.

Your car is losing power and jerking when you accelerate from a stop. A transmission shop diagnosed the problem as a faulty torque converter that's causing the shuddering. The torque converter will likely need to be replaced or rebuilt to fix this issue.

Your car produced white smoke from the exhaust and started idling roughly. The dealership determined that coolant has entered the engine, requiring a complete engine replacement at an estimated cost of $15,000. This problem is reportedly a known defect affecting 2019 Ford Edge 2.0 EcoBoost engines. The repair will involve removing and replacing the entire engine block.

When you accelerated to pass another vehicle, your engine started shaking and shuttering as if it had too much fuel but wasn't getting enough fuel at the same time. The engine then shut down completely while you were driving in traffic, and the car wouldn't restart. You were unable to shift out of park, leaving your car stranded in the left lane during rush hour and creating a safety hazard.

Your engine is overheating because it's losing coolant, which your mechanic indicates is a known issue with 2019 Ford Edges. This coolant leak is serious enough that it may require a full engine replacement. The fix will likely involve locating and sealing the coolant leak, or in severe cases, replacing the engine entirely.

Your 2019 Ford Edge is displaying a powertrain malfunction warning and needs immediate dealer attention. When the auto start/stop feature restarts the engine, your vehicle sways significantly, produces a burning smell, and you've felt like you're nearly losing control—all of which understandably concerns you about safety. The dealer will need to diagnose and repair the powertrain system, which may involve replacing components like the transmission control module, engine sensors, or addressing issues with the start/stop system itself.

Your car is stuttering and struggling to shift between gears, particularly between 3rd and 5th gear, when you're driving between 25-40 mph. This happens consistently whether the engine is cold or warm. Your Ford dealership has indicated that your transmission may need to be replaced to fix this issue.

Your transmission is jerking and shuddering during operation. Ford has issued technical service bulletins (TSB 21-2389 and 21-2081) addressing this issue, but your vehicle hasn't been recalled yet. This problem requires immediate attention as it's exhibiting the same symptoms described in those bulletins. A transmission fluid flush, filter replacement, or transmission reprogramming may be needed to resolve the issue.

Your 2019 Ford Edge has experienced multiple powertrain issues starting at 30,000 miles, including a non-functioning auto on/off feature, engine shutdowns after refueling, and transmission shuddering during acceleration without warning lights. Even after you paid to have the torque converter replaced, the transmission problem returned, and the check engine light is now on. These issues create a risk of sudden power loss while driving, which could lead to an accident.

Your car was involved in a crash. You're experiencing an issue involving the powertrain, electrical system, and forward collision avoidance system, though the specific problem isn't clearly documented. This combination of affected systems suggests the crash may have damaged multiple vehicle components that need inspection and potential repair.

Your vehicle suddenly lost all power and shut down while driving on the highway with no warning lights, which created a dangerous situation. Your cruise control now shuts off intermittently and you're experiencing engine hesitation, but again no warning lights appear. A local mechanic's diagnostic test identified a torque converter issue, though the Ford dealership initially suggested spark plugs and coils as the culprit.

Your engine overheated while driving at highway speeds, and you had to add coolant to keep going. A few days later, your heating system stopped working and a "Coolant Low" warning appeared on your dashboard. A dealer diagnosed coolant leaking into your engine itself, which is a serious internal problem that likely requires engine repair or replacement.

Your rear hatch window shattered on its own without any impact or vandalism, possibly triggered by a sudden weather change overnight. Other owners of 2021 Ford Edge models and earlier years have reported the same problem occurring. The repair will likely involve replacing the rear hatch window glass.
