2019 Ford Edge Recalls, Ratings & Complaints

Incident: October 25, 2026 · Filed: October 30, 2026

I own a 2019 Ford Edge Titanium with approximately 116,000 miles. My transmission recently experienced a catastrophic failure without any prior warning or indication of a problem. I have been extremely happy with this vehicle, and the engine and other major components remain in excellent condition. Unfortunately, the transmission failure has made the vehicle unusable and created a significant financial burden. I understand that Ford has issued technical service bulletins concerning internal transmission problems in certain 2019 Ford Edge vehicles, including TSB 26-2171. However, my VIN was outside of the of the earlier recalls where there was a known problem that caused loss of transmission fluid.

Incident: October 22, 2026 · Filed: October 30, 2026

Failure of torque converter at 50,653 miles due to a known transmission manufacturing flaw. Service bulletin 26-2171 applies. Requires replacement of torque converter, output planetary carrier assembly, fluid filters, main control overhaul, transmision fluid, all seals/gaskets, and a full reprogram of the transmission. Total cost of $5000-5500 at certified dealerships. Ford has not recalled the transmissions and is offering no good-will assistance to lower mileage vehicles with premature failure if they fall outside the warranty time range.

2019 Ford Edge SEL internal torque converter shutters at 25-60miles an hr. Took to ford garage varied that it is the torque converter is bad with metal in transmission pan guild. Extended warranty called they only want to put a used transmission in with 45000 miles on it when my car only has 57000 miles and when I bought it in 02/12/22 it has 26,231 miles on it . It is known to have this problem with transmissions for that yr . There should be a recall on it since so many people that have reported this to ford . So now I have to come up with around $2000.00 for a new transmission bc warranty company refuses to pay for a new transmission . Contact ford about this and lady told me I’ll just have to pay out of pocket then bc they can’t help me. It’s not right I paid for extended warranty should be able to have new one

Car started running running roughly with white smoke coming out the exhaust. As since researched, it’s a known issue, the coolant intrusion into the cylinder. Repair shop says it needs a new engine. I called Ford to check to see if they could offer any assistance but they couldn’t, the car is just out of warranty (2019 with 62,000 miles). They opened a case #CXH-09690702 and advised to keep all repair receipts in case Ford should ever do a recall in the future.

The vehicle shudders and misses bad at this has been going on for several months. Wehaditscanned by a transmission shop and the said it was spark plug trouble. We replaced them twice and did not fix problem. We had it scanned again and was coil packs which we replaced twice an it did not fix it. Ford dealership did a scan and said it was the torque converter and would be $4000.00 to fix. Transmission shop quoted about 2800.00. They said to wait till mid October because Ford was making a valve body that might fix the problem.

In late August 2026, I was driving my 2019 Ford Edge SEL (2.0L EcoBoost, AWD, 8F35 8-speed automatic) at approximately 100,085 miles with my young son as a passenger. After coming to a normal stop at a stop sign, the vehicle would not engage any gear when I attempted to pull away. It rolled in neutral, with no drive power, approximately 150 feet past the stop sign before coming to a stop. The rotary shifter then automatically returned itself to Park. The wrench and check engine warning lights were illuminated. From that point on, the transmission would not engage any gear, including Neutral. Every time I tried selecting a gear, the shifter automatically returned to Park. The vehicle was completely immobilized and had to be towed home, and later towed to a Ford dealership. Since the day I purchased the vehicle, it exhibited transmission shudder at speeds below approximately 30-35 mph, a condition documented for this model year in TSB 25-2154, as well as occasional rough shifting at random times with no consistent pattern. The dealer service center the vehicle is currently with diagnosed the failure and recommended a transmission replacement, quoting $6,957.94 for parts and $3,325 for labor + taxes/fees for a total of $11,015.62. This was a sudden, complete loss of motive power while pulling away from a stop with a child in the vehicle. Had it occurred while crossing an intersection or merging, a collision could easily have resulted. The 8F35 transmission in 2019 Edge vehicles has multiple related service bulletins and recalls, including TSB 19-2213, TSB 25-2154, and Safety Recall 20S49 (start/stop accumulator issues that can progress to loss of transmission function). My VIN shows no open recalls. I am filing this complaint because a complete loss of drive at approximately 100,000 miles, occurring immediately after a stop, suggests a defect that NHTSA should evaluate across this transmission population.

My car is having an extremely hard time accelerating and when it does its shifting rough, shuttering and lagging. I cant tell if the transmission is slipping or if its coil packs and spark plugs but its struggling. It throws no codes which keeps everyones hands tied because we dont even know which direction to go with it. My warranty covers power train but with no codes being thrown, no one is honoring the warranty.

No accident. The vehicle will jerk and shrugs when accelerating. Losses performance and has a high rpm reading. I'm not sure of the date but it was like 5 months ago. It doesn't do it every time I drive it. More often than not though.
