The torque converter fell apart and the vehicle went from driving at speed to losing all momentum. If we had been in heavy traffic, someone could have been killed. Ford has identified this issue with 2017 Ford EDGE vehicles. There was a recall in 2017 for this problem for vehicles built during the time period that ours was built, but according to Ford, ours was not involved in that recall (nhsta id #18v390000). …”
NHTSA complaint #11252977, filed 2019-09, 67,032 miles“Happens every time I brake. Hitting the brake to stop engine shakes violently as I come to a stop. In addition to violent engine shaking the car is thrusting forward. I have to put my foot harder on the brake not to hit the vehicle in front of me. I will have to throw it in neutral to stop the shaking. In neutral the engine revs. When traffic begins to move I have to put it back in drive and hit the gas but then it lags severely. It won't go anywhere for multiple seconds before it finally takes off. That literally happens everytime I stop and go. …”
