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).

The vehicle would not accelerate and caused my to bump into a wall. The vehicle is spluttering and the interior filled with chemical smoke caused by a coolant leak and it burning by the motor. the 1.5L vehicles are under an extended warrenty because of the EGR cooler malfunctioning. There was zero coolant in the car. The car illuminated malfunction indicator said powertrain malfunction. My car has 62000 miles on it and is no longer covered by warrenty

I am having trouble with my car jerking when accelerating between 30 and 50 mph. I originally began to have trouble with my 2019 Ford Edge on 5/13/22. On this date, the car began to overheat and I ended up having to incur the expense of not only having the car towed; but also of retrieving the car as the closest Ford dealership at the time was 5 hours away from my home. In this instance, the car was repaired under warranty and a code of TSB 20-2234. Shortly after the repair, I noticed that my car's wifi was no longer working; and, when I inquired I was told that there would be a $400 diagnostic fee. Furthermore, after about 6 months I noticed that the car would begin to jerk when accelerating. There were no console warnings, just an irregularity when driving. I took it back to the dealership on 8-28-2023 for the acceleration issue. I was given a rental car while they reviewed the issue. The repair cost me $600. After about 6 months, the issue returned and persisted. Until I finally turned the car in on 5-1-2024. After 26 days, I was given an estimate of more than $4,000 for diagnostic services and repairs. I trusted Ford Motor Company so I did everything to be a good client, pay my bill and retrieve my car as quickly as possible. I turned in the rental car on 5/27/24 and was able to pay my bill but 6/7/24. And not 24 hours later, I have the same jerking issue. It occurs when the car is accelerating between 30mph and 50mph; especially when going uphill. I have followed all factory requested specs and have had it serviced regularly. Clearly, there is an issue with this automobile.

We started noticing some shuddering and took the vehicle to FORD but they wanted $200 for diagnosis and would not apply to repairs. Upon taking the vehicle to 2 local Auto Repair Shops on 12/2023 to 01/2024 they used the computerized diagnostic tool/On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system and could not collect any data from sensors and stating Zero Trouble Codes (DTCs) were generated. 1 mechanic recommended we change spark plugs and do other maintenance for $350 that would be used for later repairs Unfortunately issue remains. They wanted to hold on to the car for another week to do further inspections. Instead, I chose to take to FORD. [XXX] FORD charges $200 for Diagnose (Receipt Attached) and does not apply to the repairs. After the 1st week without any status update via several texts and calls, and not getting any updates.

Detailed account: After my morning commute, the car started sounding like it was idleing hard with a strange smell. It didn't smell like buring oil or plastic/rubber. Midday, I went to a store 1/2 mile from my work. There was little noticable sound upon starting. I pulled into the parking lot, when I shifted into reverse to park, the car shut off. There were no warning lights on the dash. I shifted to park, then turned the car back on and parked. There was smoke coming from one of the tail pipes that lasted several minutes after shut-off. After 30 min, I turned on the car and shifted into reverse to leave the parking spot. The car shut off and the brakes were not responsive as rolled slightly down an incline. Again no warning lights, so I returned to my workplace and finished my day. We contacted a mechanic and scheduled an appointment as soon as they could get us in. Following the workday, I began the drive to my child's school (approx 3 miles city). Within 1 mile, the check engine light came on and the car shut off when I came to a complete stop at a light. I shifted to park then turned it back on when the light turned green. It shut off again when someone entered my lane and I had to come to a complete stop. Once again turned back on, and limped it to my son's school because I had to get to my child before the end of pickup time (my husband would not have made it in time if I had pulled over where I was). I tried to avoid making a complete stop but had to proceed through two 4 way stops, when the vehicle shut off again. I made it to the school where I could safely leave it and wait for it to be towed. Malfunction: Engine shut-off, lack of powered brack due to car shutting off Safety Risk: extended stopping time in the middle of the road due to time needed to turn car back on Problem has been confirmed by mechanic shop, internet research, and a friend in Ford service department as known issue (design flaw) of corrosion due to coolant intrusion. No recall.

Was driving vehicle at 45 mph but once the vehicle slowed down to under 25 mph it would start sputtering. Drove about a half a mile and engine light came on stating Engine Coolant Over Temperature. I pulled immediately over into the emergency lane and turned car off. There was thick clouds of smoke rolling out of the exhaust pipes. Even under the hood was some smoke. Once vehicle stopped smoking so badly I opened the hood. I checked the oil and smoke could be seen coming from the oil stick. Looking at the coolant reservoir, it seemed to be empty. I had just had the fluids looked at a week prior to this! Called Ford Roadside Assistance and was told it would be upto 3 hours before a tow truck could arrive. I was on a heavy traffic highway in northern virginia with a child. I called a local tow truck driver who came in about an hour. I paid 300 to have it towed to my home town 74 miles away. Then was told by Criswell Ford they could not get to my vehicle for weeks since they had 1 mechanic. Had it towed again by Ford to Marlow Ford. They claim the EGR Cooler failed per technical service bulletin but states no engine damage. I cannot believe this didn't cause engine damage with extreme Temps. Where did the coolant go to? I have 42,500 miles on engine and still owe 12k. No vehicle should be doing this. They recalled the Edge from previous years with this issue. Why don't they uphold all years that this egr cooler is failing and not just do a service bulletin. I'm afraid the engine has damage to the intake and will show its ugly self once warranty is no longer at 5/60k. Any help would be appreciated.

I cut my car off to fill up with gas, after filling up with gas I get back in my 2019 Ford Edge Titanium 2.0 Eco Boost and my car would not crank. It was turning over but would not crank. Finally, after my fourth time trying to start my 2019 Ford Edge it finally started and I had pump the gas pedal to keep it running. Then I noticed the engine light on, and my 2019 Ford Edge was running rough and sounded horrible. I took my 2019 Ford Edge to the Ford Dealership and was told that the Purge Solenoid Valve was bad, Giving my 2019 Ford Edge a default code a P0456 Fault Code (Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected, Severity 1 of 3, Service Should Be Scheduled and Repaired). My 2019 Ford Edge Titanium 2.0 only had 74,000 miles at the time this happened. The Ford Dealership told me that the Purge Solenoid Valve is/was not covered under the warranty. I believe a recall should be posted for the 2019 Ford Edge Titanium 2.0 Eco Boost. Because the part should not fail at under 100,000 miles. Also, this could affect the Oxygen Sensors Failing also. As a result of leaving a family stranded at the gas pump because there car will not start.

2019 Ford Edge St - using parallel park assist feature, I followed prompts on screen, the car backed into another vehicle, damaging the right rear quarter-panel of the Edge. I had to take over and brake once I realized it was about to hit the other vehicle. No alerts or warnings appeared on the screen. The system shouldn't have continued with the parking steps if it "lost" its sensors on the space and should have sensed an object in the path. The vehicle also has transmission shifting issues around 25-30 mph. Nearly stalls before shifting into gear and accelerating. This happens 100% of the time driving in stop/go traffic, slow accelerating (not putting pedal to the floor), and driving city streets. Thick ice/condensation builds up on the interior side of the windshield when parked outside in a cold climate. Must be dried with a towel (towel will be soaked from the amount of water build-up) before car can be driven. Defrost does not solve the issue.
