Some Ford Edge owners report experiencing hard shifting issues, particularly around 3rd and 4th gear at speeds of 35-40 MPH. Although dealerships may reset the adaptive transmission to address these concerns, this solution does not always resolve the problem permanently. Additionally, some owners have noted jerky shifting at low speeds, which may stem from underlying software issues that a simple reset cannot fully rectify. The intermittent nature of the shifting problems can also make diagnosis challenging during test drives at the dealership. For those facing ongoing issues, resetting the computer to allow it to relearn driving patterns is a suggested DIY approach that might improve shifting performance over time. However, if hard shifting persists, it may be necessary to investigate further for potential mechanical issues, ongoing software glitches, or additional diagnostic testing to identify the root cause.
