What owners report
In August 2025 I received emails regarding 3 recall alerts specific to my vin and I took screenshots of them that have the date and my vin along with the 4 recalls. They are 20S49, 21S02, and 20C19 and 25S72. I immediately called Ricart Ford to get this issue resolved. They placed me on hold, and the recalls were removed from my vin. These repairs have never been completed nor were they ever fixed. The Transmission on this vehicle is terrible, and they know it, but my guess is it would cost Ford too much many to repair all of these vehicles. I do have proof of these previous recalls and these are unresolved issues and a hazard. If Ford refuses to fix the transmission and rear drive axle I wi
The engine stalled and started smoking and has no lights to warn me of anything wrong. I was in the middle of a busy street. I had to tow it to the dealership I bought it from and they said the coolant was empty but there were no leaks and no warnings it was low. They said it was coolant intrusion. They said a egr valve and cooler were the problem part it was not covered under warranty. I had to pay 1265 to get it fixed. It's a known issue that should he a recall it's a part that causes safety issues as well as a newer car to be undrivable if not careful. No warning lights or anything is bs. I want this addressed as soon as possible. I could have been rear ended easily. Or my car broke down
My transmission needs replacing. My car is jerky when it shifts, does not accelerate smoothly, and puts me in danger on the highway/freeway when trying to accelerate as sometimes it wonât and stalls for a moment before getting going. There are currently 100 on back order which clearly means there is an issue with this specific transmission and Iâm not the only person with this problem. The car is only six years old and this should not be happening to a vehicle that is otherwise well maintained.
The contact owns a 2020 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at 25 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle hesitated and stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the diagnosis determined that the torque converter required replacement. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 107,000.
Vehicle shudders and is sluggish. Dealer says torque converter needs replaced for $4700. This could leave me stranded on a highway or neighborhood. There are no warnings on my vehicle. Seems to be a very common problem in this vehicle. Vehicle has not been repaired yet due to cost. Parts are hard to get.
