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. Power train
The transmission failed, yes itâs available for inspection. The car stopped while I was driving putting my life at risk to get into a crash with other vehicles. Yes itâs been confirmed by an independent auto shop. It has not been inspected by manufacturer, police or insurance. Insurance says itâs not covered so they didnât give it the time of day to inspect. No warnings that I knew of. Power train
Torque converter coming apart inside housing. Metal making its way into the transmission at about 87,000 miles. Dealership inspection was concluded and transmission replacement was recommended. No lights or messages due to problem. This issue results in shuddering and poor shifting along with potential transmission failure while driving, making it extremely unsafe. Power train
