Ford Edge loss of transmission forward and backward after flex plate failure on Ford Edge

Some Ford Edge owners report experiencing transmission problems related to the flexplate, which can lead to engine stalling or prevent the vehicle from moving. Complaints have prompted Ford to investigate potential flaws in the flexplate, particularly in 2015-2018 models. Attorneys are looking into whether a defect is causing flexplates and flywheels to break or crack unexpectedly. Additionally, a recall has been established for cracked flexplates, which can incur replacement costs of around $3000, following several lawsuits. Owners of 2015-2018 Edge vehicles equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost engine and 6F35 transmission may notice a rattle noise from the transmission bellhousing area due to a cracked flexplate. These flexplate issues are often linked to manufacturing faults, resulting in recalls for affected models. If any transmission loss occurs after a flexplate failure, it is recommended that owners contact Ford or a certified mechanic for prompt resolution.
