2021 Ford Edge Electrical Problems

Your car became sluggish in reverse after leaving a gas station and eventually stopped responding to reverse commands. When you tried to shift into reverse, the car sputtered, jerked, and clanked, and at one point shifted into forward instead of reverse without warning. You also received an error message saying "Gear select will engage at low speeds," and the transmission became so unresponsive that you couldn't move the car in or out of your driveway. The problem likely involves a transmission fluid issue, electrical sensor malfunction, or internal transmission damage that requires professional diagnostic testing.

Your car's touchscreen display went completely black and stopped working. The underlying computer module controlling the screen failed and required replacement at a cost of $1,500.
