I joined an Edge FB group, and there are several posts a day from people with torque converter issues either shudding or outright failures. Most of these seem to be affecting cars 2020 and earlier, so my question is whether Ford fixed the problem like they did with the coolant intrusion on 2018 and older 2.0 Ecos. I realize that cars newer than 2020 might still be in warranty so there might be less people complaining about them.
I had an 09 and the only problem I had in 160K miles was a bad PTU, but my understanding is that the newer Edges don't use the same 6 speed as my 09 did.
My buddy is looking at a 2.0L 2022 AWD and tends to keep cars for a long time so he's concerned. Thanks for any insight.

My wife's 2019 Edge's torque convertor went out at 59,890 miles. It started shuttering at 25, then it went to 35 and then 45 and on up it kept going, to the point we felt it while driving on the highway at 70 mph. We had issues with the purge valve, and it was acting similar to that, but a little different, so we assumed it was something along those lines.... until I was reading where others were talking about their torque convertors going out and how the car was acting. We took it in, and the dealership said it was the torque convertor and they replaced it under warranty. Not sure why they don't have a recall on these, but I feel like Ford should have a recall on these and the transmission. I was told some of the 2019 transmissions have a recall. We are still having transmission issues and it's back in the shop (at the dealership). My wife loves the car, but we are not having very good luck with this one...
