2022 Ford Edge

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.

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.

Vehicle is loosing power. New battery installed, and that battery is quickly draining as well. Recall issues not rectified as of 8/3/26

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.

Shuddering and jerking from 20-40 mph. Dealer reports torque converter and planetary gear problems requiring expensive repairs or replacement of the transmission.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed, however the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The vehicle jerked, and the transmission independently shifted into park(P). In addition, an unknown warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with a failed transmission. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

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)

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Edge. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle, she was notified of an unknown recall requiring a software update. The software update was completed. The contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds, the infotainment screen went black, and the contact was unable to access the heat, A/C, or the radio. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the driver's side seat warmer independently activated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, and a mechanic from the dealer arrived at the residence. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that a software update was needed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

My torque converter is malfunctioning, there are no warning lights, and my car only started driving differently very recently in the past couple of weeks. According to the Ford mechanic my car has been throwing error codes since early May. The dealership was able to confirm that this happens, and that my torque converter needs to be replaced. My car is only four years old and only has 75,000 miles on it. Ford refuses to do anything to help with this almost $8000 repair. They also issued a recall for the backup camera, update was pushed to my car that was supposed to correct it, my backup camera now goes black frequently when I am reversing.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The motorized track assembly separated from the moonroof interior sunshade on my 2022 Ford Edge, leaving the sunshade drooping down in the passenger compartment. While my vehicle is just out of the standard bumper to bumper warranty period, I feel Ford Motor Company should issue a repair recall to all affected owners to fix this issue.

The vehicle jerks while changing from 1st to 2nd shaking the engine. I have had 2 transmission flushes which help for a moment then it behave the same way jerking while shifting gears. The vehicle asks like it does not want accelerate at times while shifting gears as well

When in drive , going in to park, as soon as you turn dial, it jumps to park, so no neutral or reverse capability. And pops a code of Shift system fault.

They did an update and my back up camera stoped working

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while trying to accelerate vehicle, vehicle was hesitating or would hold without accelerating. The contact stated there was no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that dealer was aware of failure and diagnosed it as a transmission torque converter failure. The manufacturer was not aware of failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The vehicle experiences a noticeable shaking, shuddering, or vibration during acceleration. The condition is most noticeable when applying throttle and attempting to accelerate from lower speeds. The vibration diminishes or disappears once the vehicle reaches higher speeds. The issue occurs while driving under load and may be accompanied by slight fluctuations in engine RPM. The condition can affect vehicle drivability and driver confidence when accelerating into traffic or merging onto roadways. Known issues with the transmission and torque converter exists with the edge line of cars from Ford.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the front passenger’s side seat belt retracted and failed to loosen. The passenger was unable to move. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.

My 2022 Ford Edge (approximately 97,000 miles) experiences a persistent shuddering condition that is most noticeable at speeds below 60 mph. The shudder can be felt through the vehicle and is sometimes perceived as an engine misfire. There are no warning lights or diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) present. This condition matches exactly the symptoms described in Ford Technical Service Bulletin 25-2154 (Torque Converter Shudder, issued May 5, 2025), which applies to 2019-2022 Ford Edge vehicles equipped with the 8F35 transmission built on or before June 30, 2022. Ford has also issued Customer Satisfaction Program 25L02 related to the Transmission Control Assembly on this same platform. Despite Ford formally acknowledging this issue through both a TSB and a CSP, no repair has been offered to me at no cost, and my vehicle remains unrepaired. I am concerned that Ford's response has been inadequate given the known nature of this defect. I am submitting this complaint to create an official record and to request that NHTSA investigate whether a safety recall is warranted for this known transmission issue affecting 2019-2022 Ford Edge vehicles.

The entire passenger side panel flew off into traffic while driving. It was an entire disaster and I've never seen anything like this before. We're told by the dealerships this has happened before by several vehicles.

On Wednesday May 13th the car started acting a little jerky whence putting car in reverse like normal. There was a thunk sound. But it still shifted. We then drove the car about 10 miles. Then later in the day attempted to drive home. It’s was over-roving while driving. Acting erratic. We pulled into a tire place to see if something was stuck underneath. The check engine light was on and there was an error message saying broken parking brake? They said to have it towed to a Transmission Specilist. To our horror. They are saying it needs a new transmission! A 4 yr old car? This is not normal. It worked fine until now. It would not move out of second or third gear. It nearly crashed.
