I have a 2022 Ford Edge with catastrophic internal mechanical failure of the 8F35 8-speed automatic transmission and torque converter assembly. This issue became substantially noticeable in early April of 2026 (probably earlier but I was unaware it was transmission issues) while on a road trip when the vehicle was delayed in shifting into gears after coming to a stop from park or at a stop light. Vehicle was brought to Advanced Auto Parts to have the diagnostics ran on the car. The only issue that came up was that the battery was getting to be towards end life and was advised I would need to replace by fall. At this time the car was around 50K miles. The issues progressively got worse over time when in August the car experienced full stalling moments when trying to turn left across several lanes of traffic putting both myself and family and others at risk of accidents. The car also began to have a shudder towards the end of August early September. At this time I had the battery replaced. The car ran better for a day and then the issues started back up again and finally a code to have the engine checked came on. Brought to an auto parts store and they advised no codes were pulling. I took the car to the dealership I purchased it from and they confirmed the car needed a replacement transmission. Scheduled an appointment at a Ford dealership to have the car examined and they confirmed the transmission issue and the need for a replacement. Now the car is 4K miles past the 60K mile window and I am being told that Ford will not assist with the repair. Car is currently at Ford dealership while navigating why assistance is being denied.

Incident: September 1, 2026 · Filed: October 7, 2026

My 2022 Ford Edge suffered a catastrophic internal mechanical failure of the 8F35 8-speed automatic transmission and torque converter assembly. The Ford dealership service department dropped the pan and found heavy metal shavings, confirming total internal destruction. The vehicle is currently un-driveable and available for inspection at the dealership. While accelerating to merge onto a high-speed public highway, the transmission suffered a sudden, severe loss of propulsion. The engine revved, but the vehicle failed to accelerate, leaving us stranded at dangerously low speeds directly in front of oncoming semi-trucks. When the gears finally caught, the vehicle began shuddering and bucking violently. This unpredictable lack of power forced oncoming high-speed traffic to swerve violently around us, creating a near-fatal hazard before I could coast to the shoulder. This failure was officially diagnosed and confirmed by Ford factory-trained technicians, and an active safety escalation case file is logged under Case Number CXH-09567360-K1C1F9. There were absolutely no prior warning lights, dashboard messages, or drivability symptoms before the transmission disintegrated without warning.

Incident: August 4, 2025 · Filed: September 18, 2026

I bought my 2022 ford edge (AWD Titanium) last year and not too long after that I experienced transmission shudder. I recently spoke with a technician about this and he had mentioned that other ford edges are having the same issue as mine to the point that ford has issued a TSB on this subject. I'm sure i don't need to state the danger of the possibility of my transmission going out on the road.

My 2022 Ford Edge Titanium (equipped with the 8F35 transmission) is exhibiting severe shuddering, jerking, harsh shifting, lurching, and hesitation. I just received the $8,500 cost estimate to rebuild the transmission on my car that is only 3 years old due to the torque converter failure. These faulty Ford Motor Co transmissions are on back-order due to so many failures across the country. This high out-of-pocket repair cost count is HALF of the money I still currently owe on this vehicle. It is available for inspection if someone comes to inspect it within the next couple of weeks because I have no choice but to have it repaired. I am a nurse who has a job to get to on a daily basis. It causes severe shuddering, harsh shifting, and sudden loss of power when I am traveling and trying to accelerate in traffic or cross dangerous intersections. It has been thoroughly inspected by a certified transmission mechanic who is very well versed on this same particular issue with all of these particular Ford Edge transmissions that enter his shop on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. Their were no warning lamps, messages, and no other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The issues first starting appearing around a year after purchasing the car, so probably around XXX. I purchased the car from a Ford dealership in [XXX] on XXX. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
