Quick update... I got the tech to see what was happening and they agree something isn't right (finally). They did a full wipe of the PCM with a re-program this time thinking it was partly corrupt. I picked it up and went with a test drive with the adviser and the problem is still there. They are going to be contacting ford engineering to see what is suggested.

I should hopefully be getting a tech to ride along with me today (I had a service adviser ride along the first time but I guess him seeing the problem never did anything). It's 100% there no matter what RPM it's shifting at, it's just easiest to show the issue at the higher RPM's using the paddle sifters so you see what gear it should be in. On one occasion event the shop foreman drove my vehicle around for like 20 miles and still said "nope, nothing is wrong". I know cars have gotten more complicated with all the tech and computers, but it really feels like if the computer doesn't say there is a problem, then according to dealer (Ford certified) techs there is no problem. They lack the ability to troubleshoot problems on their own anymore. You are also dead on about it being lots worse when cold. I've reset the adaptive learning for the transmissions and also the KAM on my own with no luck. I'm in agreement that it's not software at this point and will be bringing up replacing the transmission to see what they say.

I wish I could say the same, I've had multiple software updates to the car with no luck on that part. There have been 3 software updates in the almost 4 months I have owned it.

That's 100% what is happening, it almost acts like it should shift into 3rd from 2nd, but it doesn't. Then hangs for 4th longer than other gear changes. You are dead on about the sound (I could add it back) but the mount I was using to hold the camera was rubbing on the steering wheel with each turn and it was really annoying in the video and though I would save everyone's ears lol.

Maybe I'm the only one experiencing what I posted about the other day, but I can't imagine that I am since I drove another new Edge ST sitting on the dealers lot and had the same issue, but the transmission is one thing I HATE about this vehicle. Honestly, I regret buying it at this point. My vehicle has been in the shop more than 3 weeks out of the last few months since I bought it in late August (multiple problems). My vehicle has a build date of 7/22/19 if I remember correctly.

I've had my Edge ST since late Aug and since the day I drove it home I've had a transmission issue that has yet to be resolved. There have been multiple software updates but 100% of the time when I drive the vehicle it skips 3rd gear which causes a hesitation and really odd feeling going into 4th gear. The shift is a little better in Sport mode, but it still skips 3rd gear and goes 2nd to 4th. Additionally when using the paddle shifters going from 2nd to 3rd the rpm's raise slightly like it should shift then is right back at the same RPM saying it's in 3rd (by the number displayed) and when selecting to shift to 4th the RPM's rise and there there is a delay of almost 2 or 3 seconds before it's a horrible shift to 4th. The 2nd time I had the vehicle in the dealer I went and drove another new ST sitting on the lot and it did the SAME thing. It's hard to imagine that 2 ST's on the same lot had bad transmissions (if that is the issue). Anyone else have this problem? I've tried clearing the cache for the adaptive learning for the transmission which did nothing. I would assume this happened with each software update from the dealer as well, so it wasn't a surprise that it didn't do anything for me. I should also add that I have a LMS tune and that didn't help with the transmission skipping 3rd gear.
