Tom Maiello Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Hi, I am having an issue with reverse on a hill with my 2019 Edge ST. I recently bought the Edge ST with 16000 miles on it. When stopped on a hill and then attempting to back up the hill, the hill assist holds the brakes and upon pressing the gas pedal I get a message in the display that says "Gear Selected will Engage at Low Speed". Then there is no power in reverse. Going forward works OK. If I turn the Edge off and back on, reversing up the hill is OK. This has happened twice. I've searched the forum and elsewhere and can't find a mention of this. Edited June 28, 2023 by Tom Maiello typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobyellow Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 While I haven't seen this issue, I've had low power backing up a steep hill. Your ST powertrain might still be covered under 5yr/60,000mile warranty. It's about 5yrs since they were first sold (got mine in Sept, 2018). There are various TSB/SSM's for the Edge. I don't know if any of them will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 I don't really deal with hills, but when you posted the original post, I tried some (2019 SEL w hill start assist since all trim levels have it) hills in reverse, letting off the brake for a bit before touching the gas, giving it various amounts of throttle, going past the 3 seconds or so it says it will hold, and never replicated it.

Tom Maiello Posted October 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Thanks for looking into it. Does anyone know a good Ford service center in the north western parts of New Jersey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
