UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I purchased vehicle 4/11/2023 with 41,000 miles. I started to experience concerns with acceleration periodically and clunking in the rear end prior to warranty ending, ford dealership inspector stated that they didn’t find anything. After 80, 000 miles it occurred more often, shuttering between 2-3rmps. Lack of ability to accelerate was a safety concern. A different Ford Dealership inspector reported torque converter clutch stuck open and circuit.Fluid drained indicating debris and heavy metallic and dark, prior to recommended ford manual service.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The transmission failed - completely out of the blue, unexpectedly without warning.The vehicle has been maintained, oil changes on schedule, all recommended service work up to date. No issues whatsoever prior to this incident. While driving on interstate highway at 75 mph (posted speed limit = 75 mph) in traffic across three lanes, vehicle began shifting gears indiscriminately while engine was revving and simultaneously the vehicle was losing power. Driver changed lanes, put on flashers, pulled over to shoulder of highway. After pulling over, the warning light came on and message said, "shift sys fault," followed by a reference to see manual. We researched the messages using smart phones and looked in manual. We determined the vehicle needed service. After 15-20 min, we restarted the vehicle and drove 23-25 miles to auto shop. We parked the vehicle at the shop. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection. The independent service technician / owner investigated for 10 days consulting specialist, ran computer software updates for purpose of diagnosis, and determined the transmission needs replaced. He recommended taking the vehicle to the dealership to confirm. We scheduled an appointment at the local dealership, paid diagnostic fee, and received confirmation recommending new transmission. There were NO warning lamps, NO messages, NO indication of problems prior to failure. They first appeared on this drive. Our safety and the safety of others was at risk due to the high speed (our rate of speed and the rate of other vehicles around us at the time). In addition, the immediate loss of power without warning, the engine revving, gear shifting, loss of control etc. We were fortunate we were able to pull over safely, and to proceed at low speed with blinkers.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Potential Consequences:
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while at a complete stop with her 9-months old daughter in the vehicle, the contact heard an abnormal flushing sound. The contact stated that upon inspecting the engine compartment, the contact noticed that the coolant level was significantly low. The contact added coolant to the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle made the abnormal flushing sound while driving 3 days later. The contact noticed that the coolant level was low and added coolant to the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics, where it was diagnosed that there was coolant intrusion in the engine. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that there was coolant intrusion in the engine, and the engine needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there would be no assistance with the repair because the VIN was not included in a recall. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

Potential Consequences:
2019 Ford Edge Titatnium is experiencing shudder/buck/jerk while driving up to 35 mph as described in Technical Service Bulletin 21-2081. Dealership said it sounds like the same issue but for some reason my VIN is not part of the recall so they will not check without paying. Dealership asked me to contact Ford directly but they could not assist.I believe this is a safety risk as the shudder/jerking is intensifying and I'm afraid it could stall when driving in traffic resulting in bodily injury.No warning lamps or messages or other symptoms prior to start of issue.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Two separate instances where this vehicle (2019 Ford Edge Titanium) completely shut down. The first, unfortunately, was in traffic while navigating a rotary. The second less intense event was in while parking. Eventually, the vehicle did restart and we were able to get it home. This looks to be an extension of a problem Ford thought was fixed -- related to the cannister purge valve (front) remaining stuck open. I say this because a cheap scanner tool revealed code P0496, and we experienced one of the primary symptoms (rough start after filling gas tank).

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Unable to engage and maintain 1st gear on any grade. The design of the rotary shifter eliminated the 1st from the gear shifter leaving only paddle shifting and Sport mode. While in Sport mode with paddle shifters engaged, the car automatically shifts to 2nd gear at 4mph and around 900-1000 rpm (just above idle). When trying to downshift, the gear just flashes, making me unable to downshift to first gear. This forces the frequent engaging of brakes at steep grades, leading to brake overheating and potential brake failure. The design is a safety issue. First gear is an absolute necessity in certain situations and Ford has disabled my ability to use it.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Torque converter malfunction confirmed through transmission shop. When problem initially presented it would intermittenly lag when pressing the accelerator. That turned into a constant jerk/shudder during driving with it being severely pronounced during any kind of acceleration in any gear. The problem only got worse and did so quickly. On several occasions I experienced enough lag that I was almost hit due to the delay in the car moving. I then had to leave ample time to turn in the event the car didn't engage again. The problem was confirmed through an independent transmission shop and is currently up for repair and a Ford dealership. The symptoms were present for 8 months without the car ever throwing a code. It never indicated needing any service.

That turned into a constant jerk/shudder during driving with it being severely pronounced during any kind of acceleration in any gear. The problem only got worse and did so quickly. On several occasions I experienced enough lag that I was almost hit due to the delay in the car moving. I then had to leave ample time to turn in the event the car didn't engage again. The problem was confirmed through an independent transmission shop and is currently up for repair and a Ford dealership. The symptoms were present for 8 months without the car ever throwing a code. It never indicated needing any service.
