Mechanic didn’t specify that he “sees it a lot” with the Edge. They may have been trying to calm me by telling me my mechanic was experienced with the issue, but it didn’t help.

It is the 3.5 with AWD. Yeah, transmission fluid was checked by mechanic and was fine. As far as when the issue happens, well, I’ve just had it 3 months and it just happened. Everything was good till all the sudden, I was driving it and my RPM’s went up (cause I was giving it gas) and it didn’t go into gear. At the stop light it would sputter a bit starting out (like it was trying to run out of gas - had a full tank) but then kick into gear, go thru second and I could feel the issue with 3rd. I really couldn’t feel the issue with 5th, but I drove is straight to the Ford dealership since it’s still under warranty. I knew it was the transmission and didn’t want to keep driving it. It is at licensed Ford dealer/service department. Idk if this has anything to do with it or not, but a VIN decode shows it was made in Canada.

Well, my topic title says it all. We bought this Edge Titanium less than 3 months ago - used - with 9,800 miles. Very low miles for a 2015. It now has 12,885 miles. Purchased this because we make several Cleveland Clinic trips a year and for us its about a 4 hour drive one way. We wanted something comfortable and dependable to travel in. HAHA! Ill never feel safe in this again. Mechanic said he sees this a lot, however not with such low miles (well, I surely hope not). He went ahead and ordered the parts, however, Ford still has to approve the repair (still under warranty and they better approve it). I wanted a new transmission, but they said they can only fix the faulty parts. So now Im pretty much in debt beyond my eye balls with this car and now with this issue, Im sure it will be reported to Car Fax. What does this mean to me? If and when I trade this beast, I will get screwed on any type of trade in offer. No longer a clean Car Fax. AND Ford will not give me a car to drive for the next 1 1/2 weeks (pretty sure it will be 2 weeks at least). And with another Cleveland Clinic trip almost upon us, I feel doomed. What a way to test new transmission parts better than to drive 8 hours in one day to Cleveland in the middle of January? Maybe Ill lose 1st, 2nd and 4th gear on the trip, woo hoo! Does anyone know if I have any recourse in this situation from the dealer I purchased it from?? Any advice is welcomed and thanks for letting me vent. Oh, did I mention it doesnt go into reverse either?
