Vehicle fails to utilize auto stop/start. Vehicle engine light comes on and off constantly. Vehicle hesistates, jerks forwards, sputters, and does not gain speed properly at any given time. Vehicle was looked at off an on for over 4 years by North brothers Ford of Michigan. They said on mutiple occasions car is fine and all symptoms are normal even as 4 other cars were brought in and again they said this was all normal. All of this off and on from about year 1 of purchasing vehicle till now (7/30/2025) and problems are still on going. Transmission has been rebuilt, oil changes regular, tune up performed. Coils replaced on prior services due to issues noticede by maintenance team.

The engine was stuttering on 07/06/2025 the check engine light came on. Was able to get appointment with dealership on 07/09/2025 - they tested the 2019 Edge and had to replace the purge valve and line assembly. The vehicle only has 45,299 miles. The Edge has had recalls for this problem on other model years. Cost me $1,117.77 I have never over filled or topped off my fuel tank. On 03/29/2024 The transmission had to be replaced under warranty.

There is an issue with starting the car after fueling up the car every time for past 6-8 months. Car appears to not be getting fuel and I have to keep pressing the accelerator pedal to try and start the car making it sound like I could potentially flood the engine. I was told this might have something to do with there being no gas cap on this model. It is unsafe as it sometimes causes the vehicle to not start or stall after starting when pulling away from the gas pump. This only happens when adding fuel to the vehicle, at no other time do I experience this malfunction. I have not taken it to a Ford dealer or service center yet due to not wanting to be blindsided by something else mysteriously being labeled as "wrong" or in need of repairs.

The car sputters while driving and jolts especially during take offs. When took it to dealership they said they tried everything there was nothing they could do to fix it. My best option was to get another car. I can-??t afford another car. The problem is persistently getting worse. I-??m afraid that it is going to just end up dying in the middle of the street. Car has less than 70,000 miles on it. I take great care of it. Was one of my favorite cars until a problem occurred with no way of fixing and no clue if it will cause an accident The original problem started out last year small and bearable but it-??s been the last 2 days that it has just took a complete turn for the worse

The Start / Stop fuel savings system stopped working in 2021. The engine idles constantly whether the drives are long or short. Ford said they would fix the system when parts were available. No fix to date when I set an appointment for basic service.

I took my vehicle into the dealership after identifying that when putting fuel in, the vehicle was prone to stalling after getting fuel (typically when fueling from E). I brought the vehicle to the dealership extremely low on fuel, at which point they were able to recreate the issue and were able to identify an error code. The fact that I had brought the vehicle in at least 8 other times and the vehicle had not shown any lights or any error codes is extremely concerning. They had to replace the purge valve. The vehicle is clearly indicating that this is a worsening condition and it becomes more frequent. The vehicle is stalling more frequently. Why wouldn't the vehicle begin to show error codes and lights when the item STARTS to go bad, rather than in very specific situations and only after an extended period of time? This is absolutely a safety concern - anything that is going to cause a vehicle to stall while in the roadway should trigger a code or lights or error messages when it STARTS to occur, not when it is almost completely expired. By that point, the driver, pedestrians and others may ALSO be expired. It is absolutely not safe, and it is crazy that after going to the dealership 8+ times, them driving and testing the vehicle multiple times, that it doesn't show up as an error code until almost 2 years after the behavior started.

I took my vehicle to the dealership because it would stall out while idling and the warning lights would come on. After restarting the vehicle, it would drive fine. It would stall out in random places, typically at a low speed. Upon arrival at the dealership, they looked for codes and lights (there were none) and attempted to recreate the issue (they were unable to). They checked the stored data and no information was present. The stalling is a safety concern since there is no record of what is causing it, it cannot be recreated, and the vehicle is not providing any information to indicate there is an issue until after it stalls (which is just the dash lights coming on). This is at least the 4th time the vehicle has been in for a similar issue, and the vehicle has no record of what is occurring. There are no error messages showing in the Ford app either.

I took my car to the dealership because it was idling rough and then would stall out with the battery light on. In addition, it would not come out of park. Upon turning it off and back on, it would shake and run rough, before stalling out. After that, it started up and drove fine. The dealership was unable to duplicate this issue, there were no lights and no codes. The vehicle was driven without any issues by them. This is a safety issue because there is obviously something going on with this vehicle, however, the vehicle is not alerting anyone and is not having any computer codes. The vehicle stalling out in any location creates a hazard not only for those in this vehicle, but other vehicles and pedestrians.

I took my car to the dealership because the stalling continued, it seemed like it was happening after filling up with gas, especially when having been on E prior to fueling. There were no lights on in the vehicle, and there were no codes coming from the vehicle. When dropping it off at the dealership, I had just gotten gas and had the issue, so I was at 89% full. The dealership was not able to replicate the issue, there were no codes, the tested the purge and vent valves and everything was operating as intended. (At this point, I have lost track of how many incidents I brought the vehicle in for stalling where there were no lights or indicators, and no codes on the vehicle). Clearly this is a safety issue, and the dealership is checking and verifying all of the items with nothing failing.

Previously had reported an issue with my vehicle feeling as though it would stall out, especially upon first driving or low speeds. Had visited the dealership multiple times, however, the vehicle did not have any lights or error codes. Eventually, all lights came on to identify there was an issue with the low fuel pressure sensor and that was resolved 9/2021. Visited the dealership again 10/2021 as the vehicle was continuing to feel like it was going to stall out. In fact, the vehicle would go into auto off (while idling) and once it turned back on and began driving would immediately stall out. The dealership was unable to replicate this, the vehicle was not turning on lights or giving a specific error code. The dealership verified everything was working properly. The vehicle continuing to stall without it alerting of any type of issue is concerning.

I advised the dealership that all of the warning lights came on after backing out and putting my car in drive. The vehicle completely stalled out. The engine light was on. The vehicle had been at the dealership at least two other occasions (with no indication from the vehicle that there was an issue, no lights, no codes, no messages) and drove "like other vehicles of the same year, make and model". On this instance, the vehicle fully stalled and all of the lights were on, upon arrival at the dealership they located a code which indicated there was a short and they needed to replace the low side fuel pressure sensor. Luckily this occurred in a parking lot, rather than on a main road. The vehicle having shown no lights or codes prior is concerning, as it seems this was a developing issue and it wasn't until it escalated to fully stalling out that the computer system was alerting to an issue. This had previously been at the dealership 10/2020 and 5/2021 for the same issue (without any indication from the vehicle), and this final escalation occurred 9/2021.

I reported to the dealership that when my vehicle was cold, it felt odd shifting. The RPMs would go up, but it felt like there was no power to the vehicle. At the same time, I advised that when the car was idling first thing in the day it felt like it would stall out. There were no lights on in the vehicle or codes for the dealership to read. After testing, the dealership advised the vehicle was operating comparable to the same year, make and model and there was no issue. Eventually, the vehicle would require a replacement of the fuel sensor and the purge valve, however, at this time there were no issues identified and the vehicle wasn't indicating there were any. This was dangerous for me, other drivers, pedestrians, and other vehicles. If my vehicle were to stall out in a situation where it was not expected, there could be an accident.

I reported to the dealership that my vehicle was lunging forward when travelling at slow speeds (example in a parking lot). Very jerky. The dealership validated that my vehicle drove no different than other vehicles of this year, make and model. There were no codes or lights that displayed. After multiple visits, an issue with the fuel sensor would be identified, as well as the purge valve, however there were no codes being given by the vehicle or lights to identify that there was an issue when it was driving like this. It could have been hazardous to other cars and people.

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).

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.

The options above were not exact for my vehicle issue. But here is the letter i am mailing to FORD. [XXX]. [XXX], Queen Creek, AZ 85142May 20, 2024 RE: 2019 FORD EDGE VIN 2FMPK3K90K[XXX] with 60K miles in 12/2023 Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship CenterTo P.O. Box 6248 Dearborn, MI 48126 We've purchased several used Fords growing up and loved them and found them to be reliable like your Commercials and Mission Statements claims: Ford Motor Company's mission statement is "to help build a better world where people can move freely and pursue their dreams". The company's core values are "put people first", "do the right thing", "create tomorrow", "play to win", "be curious", "built Ford tough", and "one Ford". So we decided to purchase our very first BRAND NEW Ford Edge vehicle on [XXX] at Ford Auto Nation, not knowing we were sold a lemon. We do all necessary maintenance to all vehicles to avoid costly expenses. 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. I was finally advised that the Transmission was shot and expected to pay $7K. My heart fell.

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.
