  1. Well I just wanted to update this. I took it to a second dealer who spent 45 minutes driving it around. He said that he could definitely observe the symptom I was describing and that it didn't seem quite right, but that when he scanned the transmission everything was within spec for the shifts. He thinks it was just a delay in the torque converter lockup. A delay that on my most recent observation took at least 1.5 seconds of very little acceleration before actually grabbing. On that same day while pulling into the dealership the car threw an adaptive steering fault code. There is a TSB out there for it and the resolution is replacing the steering wheel for $1,500. Ford would not help as the car was out of Bumper to Bumper warranty (4 yrs old 41k, still within powertrain but out of b2b). Long story short I traded the Edge away this week. No point in having a twin turbo monster motor if you can't put the power to the wheels because the transmission doesn't feel like shifting. Wish I had a resolution or better story for you guys!
  2. I wanted to jump on and bump this rather than creating a new thread. I am experiencing this same issue with my 2016 Sport. 41k Miles, still under warranty. For me it does happen at lower throttle, but it is most noticeable at full or near full throttle. The car will shift, RPMS will drop with the shift but very sluggish acceleration, then the RPMS will drop further (approximately 3-500 RPM), sit there for a moment, and then finally it feels like it catches and the car accelerates through third with the power you'd expect in other gears. It also does this in 4th, but obviously that doesn't happen as much because you'd have to be going quite fast. It also happens on downshifts as well. I took it in to the dealer and they said they could not replicate the problem. I'm not sure they really understood what was going on, and unfortunately given everything that is going on, we can't do a ride-along so I can demonstrate. I have an appointment with a different dealer next week, and I'm going to try to convince them to look more closely at it. I consider this a big problem because it really hamstrings the acceleration on this car. Adding in 1-2 seconds of nothingness with the shift can really leave you stuck in a hole or in a bad spot if you needed to shoot a gap etc. and the power just suddenly isn't there. I came from an S4, and I bought this car because the acceleration felt excellent when I test drove it (1st and second mostly) but last night I couldn't get by a guy in a Subaru Crosstrek in time for a merge because my car was too busy daydreaming to downshift. Worth noting this happens in both Drive and Sport modes. @Cerberus Did you ever get a resolution for this with the dealer? Did it ever get any worse? Anyone else had this problem? There doesn't seem to be much chatter about it online.
