I found this forum weeks ago when my 2019 ford Edge SEL 2WD started displaying the shudder / buck / Jerk of the transmission at all times when started accelerating up until about 50 mph. I love the car otherwise which I bought used from a non-Ford Dealership with 14K miles on it and have loved it until this started happening. I read about the owner who solved the problem by changing the EGR valve. I printed out the information with the steps he kindly published and brought it to my mechanic. Since my Edge has now 64K miles on it, I asked him to service the transmission first and if that did not solve the problem, to change the EGR valve at my risk. He had it for three days waiting for the parts. I got it back yesterday. He told me the problem persisted. However, I have been driving it for the past two days and it really diminished it about 80 per cent. Before doing that, I took a road trip planned which I did not cancel. I drove over 2300 miles on one week through two states with the annoying transmission jerk and experienced no other issues. So, your car will not break for driving it like that. I feel it has more power now after servicing the transmission and changing the EGR valve. It is again a pleasure to drive it. My mechanic did some research and pointed out the existence of a Technical Service Bulletin for all the Ford edge built before 11 Mar 2021. It says it supersedes TSB 21-2081. I suspect it may work also for newer models with the 8F35 transmission. It basically says to reprogram and update the software for the transmission. He said he had a place that will do it for about $400. Since my Edge improved significantly with the transmission service and the EGR change, I will not spend the money on the upgrade now, but definitely plan to do it in the future. I am happy with the great improvement and how it drives again now. Some jerking is still there but barely noticeable. I wish I would have done it before my road trip. If anybody reading this, have it done by Ford or any other facility and it really eliminates the jerking completely, please share. I will do so once I have the reprogramming and update done. I hope that is the solution we all have been hoping for. But again, replacing the EGR valve helped a lot.
