Transmission has been in the dealer multiple times due to transmission slipping, exhibiting a shudder/buck/jerk/hesitation to shift while accelerating and driving up to 35 mph. The software in the powertrain control module (PCM) was reset on multiple visits in an attempt to correct the issue prior to the physical partial repair of the transmission.

Incident Summary On February 14, 2026, without warning, the vehicle stalled and shut down while I was backing into my driveway. The engine restarted briefly only to fail again. Two independent mechanics have confirmed a blown head gasket resulting from coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders that is consistent with the well-documented defect affecting this engine platform. The vehicle is currently inoperable. This failure occurred while I am [XXX] pregnant, with my minor child present in
The transmission/torque converter completely failed after being maintained while driving on the highway without any warning. The transmission began jerking and bucking, almost sending me into the oncoming lane while driving. Coupled with the lane departure avoidance system automatically turning my wheel, the vehicle became uncontrollable. Even though i removed my foot from the gas an tried braking, the transmission would not disengage for a few seconds causing me to almost lose control of the ve

Vehicle has 70000 miles , transmission started shuddering upon acceleration up to about 60 mph. Rpmâs jump even remaining at steady speed. Took it to the dealership and was told the entire transmission needed replaced.
The stop start actuator has been on for 3 days I have lost power in reverse and drive but the gears are still engaging
We are having transmission issues with our 2019 Ford Edge. Sudden shifting, very jerky. The opposite of a smooth performing transmission. You step on the gas, you hear the RPM's going but it doesn't want to go. Then all of the sudden it shifts while the rpm's are elevated and then jerks you. It seems like this is really bad for the transmission and making things worse. I don't know if this is necessarily a safety issue but it definitely would be if trying to merge onto a major highway, driving

While accelerating up to 40 mph the vehicle shudders with every shift up to that point after that speed is encountered any speed above that no more shudder. Iâve read on multiple other peopleâs forms that theyâre having the same issue. Not everyone has money just laying around to fix a problem that is frequent on these year make and models. Ford should do something to fix a known issue.
I have < 60K on this Edge. The transmission needed replacing (out of warranty barely). This is my wifeâs vehicle. Sheâs been retired for three years and hardly drives it. This is not a fair wear and tear replacement. It jerked and bucked between 15 and 40 miles an hour. There is even a Ford service bulletin on it. Thatâs not elevated to a recall. I worked with the dealership and Ford gave me $2000 off the final bill, but they shouldâve given me a new transmission for nothing and I wouldâ
Faulty transmission. Needs to be replaced after only 99,000 miles.

The transmission has severe shuddering when accelerating up to 40mph. Iâve had the torque converter replaced twice and the issue has remained. Over time the speed of shuddering has expanded up to 40mph before it drives smoothly.

AFter replacing torque converter 3 months ago, I now need a complete transmission replacement due to losing gears 3-5 and reverse.
While driving my vehicle on the first day of 2026 at a speed between 20 to 40 mph, I suddenly noticed that the car stopped responding to the gas pedal and would not accelerate. I immediately felt a loss of power. I pulled over to the side of the road, turned the engine off completely, and then restarted it. When I tried to shift into reverse, the car didnât respond. I switched to Drive, and it moved forward, but a message appeared on the dashboard stating: âPowertrain Malfunction / Reduced P
