The Ford Dealership has had my vehicle since May 5, 2025 and since then, has been unable to fix Safety Recall 25S28 (APIM Module Reprogramming due to distorted screen). On June 30, 3025, the dealership informed me that Ford has put a stop hold on the recall, with no estimate as to when or whether my vehicle will ever be repaired. On June 19, 2025, I filed a complaint with Ford corporate customer service hotline, to no avail. I have heard nothing back from the corporate Ford customer service team. Truly alarming and frustrating.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

I am filing this complaint regarding a serious transmission issue with my 2021 Ford Edge. The vehicle exhibits shuddering and hesitation during acceleration, which presents a potential safety hazard in daily driving conditions. I brought the issue to a Ford dealership, and they confirmed that the problem is either a defective transmission or a failing torque converter. Despite the vehicle being relatively new and not yet paid off, I have been told that repairs may not be covered under warranty, potentially leaving me with thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs. This issue is deeply concerning, not only because of the financial burden but also due to the apparent pattern of similar problems in previous model years of the Ford Edge, which leads me to believe that Ford may have been aware of this design or manufacturing defect and failed to resolve it in newer models. A transmission failure or torque converter malfunction at speed could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Given the number of similar reports online and in consumer forums, I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue thoroughly and determine whether a recall or broader corrective action is warranted. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
