All Engine Complaints (608)
Engine failure issue. Car started to rough idle, and started to lose power due to misfires. The poor performance placed myself and Family at risk of becoming a hazard to ourselves and other drivers because the car could encounter a moving situation that could not be avoided, and the loss of ability to move away from a dangerous situation. While addressing the problem it was found that there was coolant intrusion in the cylinders due to cracks developing in the poorly designed engine block. The check Engine light did signal indication of a misfire and bad ignition. I investigated the problem and discovered that Ford is aware of the issue and has issued TSB-2229, replace engine at cost to owner, due to Fords poor design.
My car is only 44,000 miles yet I got 2 engine light codes on. Presence of coolant in the engine cylinders, white exhaust smoke and a runs rough especially during the first start of the day. Engine diagnostic at Ford dealership shows that it is a coolant intrusion. Dealership states that it requires an entire engine replacement despite my car being in good condition otherwise with proper maintenance.
Subject: Safety Complaint: Engine Failure and Stall Risk – 2017 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost Description of Incident: I am reporting a dangerous engine defect in my 2017 Ford Edge (VIN: [XXX] ) involving the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. My vehicle has experienced total engine failure due to coolant leaking into the engine cylinders. This is a known design flaw documented by Ford in TSB 19-2346, yet no safety recall has been issued for the Edge model. This defect poses a significant safety risk as it can lead to sudden engine stalling, loss of power while driving, and potential engine fires due to overheating. Impact and Financial Burden: My vehicle is currently inoperable and at a repair shop. I am facing a repair estimate of $7,000 – $10,000. Furthermore, my third-party warranty provider (CarShield) has denied the claim, specifically citing that because Ford acknowledged this as a known manufacturing defect via a TSB, they are not liable for the repair. Owners are being left stranded with dangerous, failing vehicles because Ford has not transitioned this TSB into a formal recall or Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP), despite the clear risk of engine failure at highway speeds.

The vehicle has low mileage, but the 3rd cylinder wall has a crack that is causing coolant to be leaked into the engine and therefore, the long block/engine needs to be immediately replaced. This is a major safety hazard which can cause the engine to stop at any time, even while driving on the highway, which a major safety issue and hazard. The certified mechanics say that the long block part was manufactured too thin and is causing major safety and mechanical problems and shared Ford needs to recall and replace the long block as this is a common problem and major safety issue with this vehicle as research has shown.
Check engine light started coming on for a cylinder 3 misfire at around 105,000 miles. Brought to mechanic to diagnose. Replaced ignition coils and spark plugs. The check engine light came on again with the same issue. Coolant also was running low. Brought to Ford dealership who scoped the number 3 cylinder. Dealership Confirmed that coolant was intruding into the engine and that a new engine block would be required as a remedy. This is a well known defect on Ford Ecoboost engines that they have issued recalls for in the past, albeit for smaller liter engines and not the 2.0
Over heating due to coolant leaking through the head gasket.
The coolant is leaking into the motor causing an overheating issue that cuts power to the engine while driving. This is a large problem that may go unreported but Ford did change the design years down the road to help fix the issue but will not take responsibility.
Vehicle: 2017 Ford Edge Issue: Sudden loss of power / Transmission failure Safety Concern: Loss of acceleration at highway speeds Complaint Description: I am submitting this complaint due to a serious safety issue with my 2017 Ford Edge. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle began hesitating when I pressed the accelerator. While traveling on the highway, the car accelerated to approximately 60 mph and then suddenly dropped to around 40 mph, despite continued pressure on the accelerator pedal. The check engine light illuminated. I immediately took the vehicle to the dealership for inspection and was informed that the transmission had failed and required replacement. This is a major safety concern. The unexpected and uncontrollable reduction in speed while traveling on a highway created a dangerous driving situation for me and other motorists. A sudden loss of power like this can easily lead to rear-end collisions and serious accidents, especially in fast-moving traffic where other drivers have no warning and do not anticipate a vehicle rapidly decelerating. I believe this issue poses a significant safety risk and request that NHTSA investigate this problem to help prevent potential crashes and protect drivers and the public.
2017 Ford Edge Titanium (VIN: [XXX] ) suffered catastrophic engine failure at 81,571 miles in September 2025 due to coolant intrusion into cylinders caused by cracked intake manifold - a known Ford manufacturing defect. Total repair cost: $9,034.66 for complete long-block engine replacement at Crain Buick GMC, Conway, AR. KNOWN DEFECT: Ford documented this problem in TSBs 19-2208, 19-2346, and 22-2229 (dated 2019-2022) affecting 2015-2018 Edge with 2.0L EcoBoost engines. Design flaw in engine block sealing surface allows coolant to leak into cylinders, causing misfires, white smoke, and complete engine failure. Ford redesigned engine for later models, confirming the defect. FORD PROVIDED ASSISTANCE FOR IDENTICAL DEFECT IN OTHER ENGINES: Ford issued Customer Satisfaction Program 21N12 providing 7 years/84,000 miles no-cost repairs for 1.5L engines with identical coolant intrusion problem, but provided NO assistance for 2.0L engines. TIMING: My warranty expired February 2025. Engine failed September 2025 (only 7 months later) at 81,571 miles due to Ford's manufacturing defect, not wear and tear. I received no notification from Ford despite their documented knowledge since 2019. SAFETY RISKS: Engine fire risk, sudden loss of power while driving, potential loss of vehicle control, stranding in dangerous locations. WIDESPREAD PROBLEM: Service shops report multiple Edge vehicles per week with identical failure. Hundreds of documented cases online. Ford only issues TSBs for systematic problems affecting numerous vehicles. SMITH FORD DEALER CONWAY, AR DECLINED TO HELP: Despite knowing this is a documented Ford defect covered by TSBs. REQUEST: NHTSA investigate and mandate safety recall for 2015-2018 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost engines. Require Ford to notify owners, provide no-cost repairs, and reimburse customers who already paid. This defect affects thousands of vehicles and has cost owners $6,000-$10,000+ each for Ford's design flaw. SEE INVOICE REPAIR: $9034.66 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION
Bought my car used with 100000 miles. Was maintained of every 3000 miles by a ford dealer before i bought it. When i got it and as i was driving home there was a check engine light that popped up for a misfire in cylinder 3 (p0303) and no coolant in the reservoir. I topped up the coolant and since then ive had to refill my coolant ever 3 or 4 days. Its going back to the dealership i got it from on hoping the warranty they provided covers the work.

Faulty fuel pump, vehicle stops while driving and rolls backwards
Vehicle went in for check engine light, no issues with how the car runs, low coolant. Vehicle was pressure tested and we were told there was a crack in the cylinder and that the engine would need to be completely replaced. This will cost upwards of 10k. Per my research this is a known ticket and huge defect that Ford knows about. We asked if we could get e engine replaced under the goodwill repair program through ford and we were denied there as well.
Coolant leaking into the cylinders caused engine overheating and ultimately, engine failure.
Engine leaking coolant into cylinders. Creating risk of smoke and fire, known issue with for per TSB 19-2208
Check engine light came on intermittantly and would turn off. When it stayed on I took it into the dealer who diagnosed leak of coolant into number 3 cylinder, requiring a new engine. This happened at just above 65,000 miles. Car is starting and driving rough, some erratic acceleration and is worse every day.
Coolant leak into Cylinder 3
Bought this car, 100,000 miles on it, and 2 days after My check engine light comes on and coil 2 is misfiring, i get new coils and plugs, and 3 hours later it starts it again, I end up taking it to my local ford dealership and they discovered I need a new engine due to a crack in my long block and coolant getting in coil 2...I just brought a car that needs 8000 dollars of work done. I wish I knew what to do. This has been awful. Sometimes it decides to misfire at red lights or even driving down the road, ford should fix this issue
The check engine light turned on. It was diagnosed at Auto Zone as 'cylinder 2 not firing correctly' and the possibility of a bad sparkplug. At the Ford dealership (2 days later), it was diagnosed as a 'coolant intrusion'; leaking coolant into the engine. The engine currently works but the leak will cause engine failure. The Ford dealership service agent told me that this model Edge as well as the Escort with the same engine has had this same issue repeatedly. The engine has less than 70,000 miles and is no longer under warranty. Through researching this issue on my own, many people (especially on Reddit) have identified the same issue with these Ford cars ranging from 60,000-70,000 miles. The dealership is offering $2,000 check/buy back or a replacement of an engine at a value of $8, 350.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. While the contact's daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine overheated. No warning lights were illuminated.

common engine failure on the 2.0l of cylinder cracking allowing coolant to leak into engine and misfire. Engine filled with coolant and wrecked the motor. Ford has done multiple engine swaps costing customers $8,000 for a defective block they changed in the newer years. I feel we should not pay for their mistake!

Answers to specific questions above: *Head gasket, coolant, engine failure *A running engine/coolant/and head gaskets are valuable to a vehicle to operate *Confirmed by an independent service center *Not inspected by manufacturer, police, or insurance. When I got the first notification of a coolant warning, I drove it immediately to the independent service center *The check engine light came on, then the coolant is low light, to which I then took it in for service I purchased this vehicle in December 2024 from a private party with approximately 56,000 miles on it, which is well within what should be considered reasonable, reliable use for a Ford vehicle. To date, there are approximately 61,000 miles on the vehicle. In August 2025, I was forced to replace the motor due to a head gasket and coolant issues. The work was completed at a reputable local auto shop, Auto Aces, at a total cost of $6,649.30. After further research, I discovered there is a current Technical Service Bulletin for this exact make, model, and year, identifying the same issues I experienced. I understand that a TSB is not an official recall; however, it demonstrates that Ford was aware of the defect. I firmly believe Ford bears responsibility for this failure and the financial burden it has caused. Additionally, after only 16 months, the battery inexplicably failed and required replacement. While this was covered under warranty, it further illustrates the unreliability of this vehicle. This expense was not the result of normal wear and tear but of a documented defect that should never have been passed on to consumers.
Engine stated missing when starting. Engine came on and stayed on. Took to ford certified mechanic and he replaced 4 fuel injectors, received car back and drove for a day then same thing happened again. Took back to mechanic and he found coolant in the engine. He said it was a know. Issue of Radiator leaking into engine.
Coolant intrusion into cylinder block requiring engine replacement. (I unfortunately own TWO 2017 Ford Edge Titanium vehicles with the defective 2.0 L EcoBoost engine). I have had to replace the engine in BOTH vehicles which failed withing 10,000 miles of one another. This engine failed at 105,000 miles. The vehicle has been routinely maintained and the failure occured with no warning. The company is aware of the defect and no longer supports customers. There is a TSB issued which identifies the issue (22-2229). A Ford Edge forum on Facebook reveals that a decent percentage of the membership with this era model have experienced the same failure, with the same lack of support from the manufacturer.
Known coolant intrusion issue in 15-18 Ford Edges. Coolant leaks into the cylinders, hard starts, check engine, without a new motor replaced, the engine will explode. This should be a recall since it’s consistent on almost every single edge from the years listed. I had to replace the engine at 88,000 miles. $8,000 of work done for an issue that is known to Ford.
3 months ago, Engine just stopped while driving. Thankfully traffic was light. Had it been one hour later I would have caused an accident on the freeway. Now just last week, the engine was starting rough and the check engine light came on. Brought it in and found out the coolant was intruding into the cylinders. Engine is ruined. Sounds very common for the failure of head gasket causing coolant leak into cylinders.
While driving at highway speeds the engine suddenly began knocking, white smoke billowing from the car and it came to a stop. No lamps prior to failure. FORD is aware that 2017 Ford Edge vehicles were made with this defect. The dealer has confirmed code PO304 coolant intrusion into cylinder 4 and also determine that the turbo has failed. Failed turbo is also a known manufacturer defect by Ford. The safety issue is the dramatic loss of speed on the highway without warning while emitting a blinding and distracting smoke screen to other drivers.
Coolant intrusion into the cylinder block requiring new engine. Issue is known to manufacturer but Company no longer offers any support to customers. Dealership confirmed issue with scope showing Crack in cylinder. I maintained the vehicle and did regular fluid checks. Failure occurred with no warning.
The first symptom on my 2017 2.0 L EcoBoost engine with 79,000 miles was a rough start and check engine indicator. The warning light cleared and engine ran better while at operating temp. The symptoms became worse over the next few weeks, when I noticed that there was no heat coming from the heater as the coolant was very low and the engine was overheating. I had difficulty removing the coolant reservoir cap as there was significant vacuum and no coolant showing. When I got the cap off, the coolant boiled up, leaving a small amount in the bottom. I added coolant to make it home and called the local Ford dealer who informed me that there is a service bulletin about coolant leaking into the cylinders and the repair might likely mean an engine replacement. The engine replacement would cost $12000 at the dealer so I brought the car to my mechanic who scoped the cylinders and found damage in the third cylinder. Since he had replaced nine of these engines for the same problem and knowing that the faulty engine design had been corrected in 2020, he recommended long block engine replacement, which has been completed. Had I not noticed the engine overheating, I could have been stranded or worse -- had an engine fire. My mechanic informed me he has now replaced ten 2016-2019 2.0 liter EcoBoost engines for the same issue.
My 2017 ford edge, 74,000 miles 2.0 eco boost had a code after hesitating, running rough and having white smoke from exhaust. The check engine light came on and the code was Po302. We replaced the coil pack and the light continued. Brought it to local dealership and they confirmed TSB-22-2229 and needed long block for 12,000$. After much research, for some reason other eco boost cars have had extended warranties but of course not this model. Is this real life? The safety concerns and the cost are outrageous to say the least.
2017 eco boost engine class action lawsuit ,coolant got into the engine
Loud slashing noises behind the dashboard and check engine light stating misfirecylinder two. Entire engine had to be replaced because of warping and coolant enter intrusion into cylinder two. This has been a known problem for years with Ford on this particular engine and no recall. Ford will not stand behind their engine. The repair shop that we had the new engine replaced has done three Ford engine replacements in the last five months due to the same issue.
Issues with 2.0 L EcoBoost engine overheating. A mechanic using a camera to investigate revealed coolant intrusion in engine. Mechanic located Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) #22-2133 which indicated it was a known problem by Ford and recommended engine replacement at owner's expense. This had to be performed by a Ford dealership so that the engine could be re-programmed using proprietary software. The out-of-pocket cost to replace the engine was $7,559.08, plus $183.00 for the tow to the dealership. The mechanic's shop charged $32.60 to diagnose the problem. This issue also led to simultaneously failure of the transmission which had to be replaced at a cost of $5,999.22.
July 23, 2025 the engine light came on. Called Ford dealer and made appt for July 24 to be checked out. Coolant getting in #2 cylinder, recommended long block replacement for $9859.85. Vehicle has only 83450 miles on it and a known issue by Ford. Called Ford and we can not get any help with replacement.
The contacts son owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while his son was driving approximately 35 MPH, there was a misfire coming from the engine. The check engine warning light illuminated shortly afterwards. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with coolant intrusion into the cylinder head, caused by a blown head gasket. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000.
Mileage: 55,000
At less than 70,000 miles on the engine, a check engine light came on (July 2025). To this point there had been no lights or warnings, but apparently there was coolant intruding into the engine cylinder. This likely had been an ongoing issue but finally created a warning light around 69,000. This design defect created the potential for immediate engine overheating while traveling at highway speeds. A dealer has yet to look at my vehicle but an independent service center diagnosed a blown gasket due to the intrusion. And others with the same engine 2.0L have suffered similar issues (as evidenced by recent June 2025 class action suit).
I am the owner of a 2017 Ford Edge with only 63k miles on it (VIN: [XXX] ), which I purchased from Depaula Ford in July of 2020. This vehicle has experienced significant engine problems consistent with the symptoms described in TSB 19 2346. Specifically, my vehicle has suffered coolant intrusion into the combustion chamber, leading to white smoke from the exhaust, misfires, and a noticeable loss of coolant. After diagnostic inspection at Depaula Ford in Albany, it was confirmed that the engine requires replacement.

A coolant intrusion required the long block to be replaced.
I am filing this report due to a serious and costly engine failure in my 2017 Ford Edge Titanium with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. My vehicle has always been properly maintained and I recently experienced pre-mature engine issues at only 93,000 miles. The issue began with rough starts, hovering RPMs, and eventually led to a complete engine failure. My mechanic diagnosed the problem as coolant intrusion into the engine, which I have since learned is a known issue covered by Ford’s Technical Service Bulletin TSB 19-2208. It appears most people begin experiencing this issue at 50,000-90,000 miles. The cost to replace the engine is between $8,000 and $9,000, and my vehicle is no longer under warranty. I am still paying off this car, which makes this financially devastating — and this failure occurred well before the end of a reasonable engine lifespan. I’m concerned this issue poses a safety risk, as coolant loss and engine failure could happen suddenly while driving. Ford has not issued a recall or formal repair program, despite hundreds (if not thousands) of similar complaints online. I respectfully urge the NHTSA to investigate the 2015–2018 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine for a potential recall or safety action related to premature engine failure due to internal coolant leaks.

Bought this car a couple of years ago. In the past 6 months we have had to have brakes/rotors fixed ($650), spark plugs, etc ($780). It's had issues with not starting after fueling up with gas. It's been riding rough and rattling/vibrating. Took it to mechanic and he told me it was a manufacturer issue with cylinder 3. Coolant has been leaking and causing misfires. Basically needs a engine rebuild. Recommended we call Ford dealership because it has had several reports filed for this reason. We immediately went to dealership and were basically told "not our problem". But we will run a diagnostic exam for $145 but unless it's under warranty it's your problem. We're like no thank you. Literally just had a $80 diagnostic exam done at the other mechanic. Still owe several thousand on this vehicle that's now basically gonna sit and rot away. Mechanic told us it was unsafe to drive.
I acquired a new 2017 Ford Edge. Despite adhering to all recommended maintenance protocols and with a mileage of 52,000, the vehicle was diagnosed with a "coolant intrusion on Engine CYL 3." Subsequent investigation revealed this to be a documented issue associated with this Ford engine. I contacted Ford to explore their potential liability concerning the sale of a vehicle known to possess a design defect; however, they declined to assume any responsibility.
The Ford 2.0L Ecoboost engine has been subject to Technical Service Bulletins due to coolant leaking into the cylinders causing recurring low coolant levels, rough running conditions, and engine misfire indicator lamps. The cause is a poorly designed engine and requires an engine replacement to rectify. The Ford dealership has quoted $10,000 for this repair. This issue has the potential to cause overheating or catastrophic engine failure.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that while driving two weeks later, the check engine warning light illuminated again. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a coolant leak onto the spark plugs and ignition coils. The vehicle was repaired; however, three days later the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 104,000.

Car running rough, mostly when first cranked. Check engine light came on - misfire cylinder 2 and 3. Changed spark plugs and coil packs. Cleared code. Check engine light came back on. Changed fuel injectors. Reset codes. Check engine light back on. Same codes - misfire cylinder 2 and 3. Auto Start/stop turns off when car is rough on initial cranking. Coolant has a leak believed to be going into the cylinders. Have to add coolant every week It is scheduled for a pressure test. Seems to be the same problem other 2.0L EcoBoost engines are having but my VIN is not part of the recall
The 2.0 ecoboost engine 2017 Ford Edge Titanium coolant leaking into many places. White smoke coming from exhaust flooding into the streets I have been told the Long block issue as well. The vehicle was at an independent service center where it sat for over three weeks while they worked hard trying to find the issues. Finally they advised me to get a second opinion through Ford which I did for over $300 for the same inspection. They have given me an outrageous estimate of over $16,000 to repair the issues. This is a common issue with this particular engine. I have read numerous complaints since purchasing it . Ford needs to be held accountable for all these defective engines they have yet to recall these dangerous vehicles. My vehicle is currently sitting in storage because it is inoperable. I’m still making loan payments on this defective vehicle. I have reached out to Ford many times for assistance and they have turned me away. I will soon have to file a Lawsuit against Ford if they do not come forward and resolve this issue. I will never ever purchase another Ford.
Coolant intrusion into cylinder causing rapid corrosion of engine block.
Engine and Cooling Failure on my 2017 Ford Edge. Transmission operating poorly and check engine light was on. Went to dealer for service, and was told faulty gasket is leading to coolant intrusion into the transmission. Was told needed to replace engine at cost of $10,500. This is a widespread issue on this model yet Ford refuses to recall it and fix it, and this despite the fact that they recalled other models with the same engine. An 8-year old car should not have to be junked. The NHTSA needs to do the right thing and force Ford to recall this model and replace the engine.
I had purchased the 8 year warranty plan for my 2017 Ford Edge. The week before it expired, I took it in for a oil change and final check. The mileage was only 42,542 miles. Brakes were replaced under warranty and all looked good. Literally the next time we drove it after getting home, at about 55 mph the check engine light came on, motive power was lost, and the brakes and gas pedal lost power. After pumping the brake we got it stopped safely and then towed to the dealer. The code they found was P06E9 and after checking, no engine rotation was detected and the engine was seized and had to be replaced. I have a 2.7L EcoBoost engine which I have since learned has had many issues, class action lawsuits, and also a recall for Ford Edge years 2021 - 2022 for the same engine - replaced for free. Since it was 10 days out of warranty, and literally 50 miles driven out of warranty, Ford would not do anything to repair the car even though the engine issue is a known problem.

My 2017 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine has been diagnosed with the coolant intrusion issue covered by Ford’s Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) 19-2172 or 22-2229. Initially, engine code P0301indicating misfire in cylinder 3. Ford Dealership Hassett Ford Wantagh NY confirms the TSB issue and recommends long block replacement. There is a danger of engine fire, engine failure and stalling. My odometer is 74,000 miles.
Started the engine of my 2017 Ford Edge and it sounded different. It ran rougher then usual. Stated to my passengers that the car was not sounding right. Shortly there after on the highway at 55mph, the check engine light came on. The car continued to run rough that night. The next day when I started it, the check engine light was still on and I called the Ford dealer for a service appt. At the appt they informed my husband that my 2017 Ford Edge needed a new engine because coolant was leaking into cylinder. Told us we had 10000 miles before we must replace the engine. Appx cost $6000-$7000 Just 2 weeks before while having the oil changed and new brakes installed (because the check brake light came on), they had informed me that the water pump had a tiny leak that I might want to fix but to keep an eye on the temp gauge and carry some coolant until it got fixed. Appx cost $600-$700. Did not fix. Then check engine light came on. Have not fixed engine. Only 98700 miles.
There are approximately 78,000 miles on the car. Recently, a rough start caused the "check engine" light to come on. After taking it to a repair shop, the mechanic discovered there was coolant seeping into the #1 cylinder. Research confirmed that it was a known issue associated with a 'porous block' created during the casting process. Ford has known about this issue with the 2.0 In-line 4 eco-boost engine for over a decade and has not recalled the engine or offered to make any sort of restitution. Repair cost is estimated to be $8,000.
Coolant Intrusion on EcoBoost 2.0L engine, cylinders #2 and #3 due to head gasket failure. Failure is due to open deck coolant system on engine re-design which was done on 2017- 2019 model years. The engine redesign (to get more horsepower) required more cooling so they "channeled" coolant between the cylinders leaving very little space for head gasket to seal. The only "fix" (see their TSBs) is to replace the entire long block on the vehicle. This replacement long block is not the same design, but a instead is a new one which has been re-engineered specifically because of the faulty design mentioned above. The cost quoted to do this through the Ford dealer that sold the car when it was new is $7,608.12. Ford customer service has been asked for financial assistance and has refused to provide any financial support. The vehicle in question only has 59,652 miles on it. TSBs issued re this are: 19-2346 and 22-2229
Vehicle has the 2.0 EcoBoost Turbo engine. The original engine produced same issues, mechanic found coolant intrusion at around 78,000 mi and replaced it for around $6,000 out of pocket in March of 2023. Logged everything with the local Ford to ensure new engine warranty stayed intact. Now the replaced engine is experiencing the same and also more concerning issues. Starting in Late January early February 2025, engine has 19,000 mi, vehicle has around 97,700 mi. Vehicle issues began with rough idling & white exhaust at cold start. Vehicle began shutting off while driving. It would never show any signs beforehand, would be driving normally, and then suddenly vehicle shut off and losses all power. Happened 5 times to me going speeds averaging from 35-75, including 3 times on a highway. Took vehicle into shop multiple times to rule out issues. Mechanic noticed a leaking gasket (commonly known issue with this engine), knowing the engine had warranty it was towed to the local Ford dealership. Dealership said the engine was experiencing coolant intrusion. However, in order to even request for an engine replacement under warranty they would have to do an engine teardown at around $5,000 in labor out of pocket. This vehicle is unpredictable and has sat undriven since February 2025. Ford is doing everything to get out of fixing their manufacturing issue & to disprove the part warranty that no one will give me a copy of. This issue is also logged on the Service Bulletin 19-2346

Engine light and warning light came on said engine coolant over temp, coolant leaking out, took it to ford dealership and they said the coolant is leaking into the cylinder and burnt the engine, said its a known problem thats been happening, they cant repair the engine, they have to replace the whole thing for $10,000.
The car started burning through coolant. A pressure test was done to determine if there way a leak, and there wasn’t. About a week later it missed when I started the car and the check engine light came on. The light was from code P0304 which is a 4th cylinder misfire. This is posted as a service technical bulletin by Ford. As we drove the car it started to misfire while driving. I was worried it would stop running while I was driving. We took the car to AutoNation Westlake Ford. They determined it is coolant intrusion into the 4th cylinder and it is from a design flaw with the engine. It is a mechanical defect due to poor engine design. The entire engine needs replaced. I have called Ford customer service and they said there is nothing Ford can do to even assist with the $11,000 repair of the car. I am left with a car I cannot drive due to safety concerns for myself and others on the road. I either try to figure out how to pay $11,000 for the repairs or scrap the car and have nothing to show for it. It is in amazing condition. 104,000 miles. I have pictures attached of the bore scope used to see where the leak is happening. The coolant is seen on the mating surface of the engine block and running down into the 4th cylinder. You can see the previous trails of fluid all along the side of the engine as well.
March 9, 2025 Big O installed 4 new tires on my 2017 Ford Edge w/Eco boost engine. March 22, 2025 engine light came on while driving. Because I just had it at Big O, I took it back to them to check. March 24, 2025 Big O diagnosed my car when code P0303 came on. Spark plugs were good, but technician saw via camera that coolant was leaking into the engine. I was told to call Ford & that I probably had to replace the entire engine. I called Groove Ford. Service manager confirmed with that code that I needed a new engine. It was out of warranty & had no recalls yet. I have always taken great care of my car & was shocked to hear this! From my research, Ford has known about this problem for years. I reported it to Ford customer service & got a claim number. They also said they won't provide financial assistance. This is my 2nd Ford & I'm REALLY disappointed with them. There are hundreds of people like me that have this problem with their Ford vehicle. A recall needs to be done!
TSB 22-2229 - Technical Service Bulletin issued by Ford regarding a coolant leak issue in certain 2.0L EcoBoost engines, potentially leading to engine failure and requiring engine replacement. This happened to my vehicle in the Ford dealership told me I need to replace my engine and I think Ford needs to replace the engine.
Took the car for routine oil change and was informed the head gasket is failing, coolant and oil are mixed posing a safety hazard to drive the vehicle (that I make payments on still)
My vehicle started going through coolant. Next, it started to misfire and was having the check engine light come on. It had the code P0304. It was a cylinder 4 misfire. We took it in to get diagnosed at AutoNation Westlake Ford. It is part of the technical service bulletin. There is coolant leaking into the 4th cylinder of our vehicle causing this issue. It is now happening while driving. We contacted for customer service to see if they have any programs to assist with the repairs needed because the entire engine needs replaced and it is a known malfunction due to poor engine design. They said there is nothing that can be done from them.

2017 Ford Edge begin overheating. Diagnostic test revealed a cracked block & coolant consumption issues. This vehicle has a 2.0 Ecoboost with open block design. The diagnostic test was performed by Jones Automotive, Germantown TN. Since the vehicle isn't drivable, it has not been taken to a Ford dealership. What I've ended up with in a mixture oil and coolant with a sludge consistency filtering throughout the engine which is now a non-operational vehicle with ~ $5,000 payoff. As far as safety is concerned, this vehicle was in danger of the engine catching fire. The only warning received was the engine overheating which prompted me to take it our ship to determine the problem.

I bought this 2017 Ford Edge SEL with the 2.0L Ecoboost engine as a used vehicle in 2022. It started to have unexplained coolant loss and a check engine light indicating a misfires in cylinders #2 and #3. The car was taken to a local Ford dealer who diagnosed it with "COOLANT INTRUSION CYLINDER #2" and they indicated that it was a known issue with this engine but Ford had not issued a recall. They also indicated that the defect creates a safety risk, because the lack of coolant created by the leaks causes overheating and can result in the cylinder head cracking, total engine failure, and/or engine fires. They said my only option was a complete engine replacement at my own cost.
Anti-freeze leak, had to replace engine.
August 2024 check engine light illuminated and white smoke coming from exhaust. Upon inspection, it was determined coolant was leaking into a cylinder causing corrosion and intrusion of the coolant into the engine. The car had 111,426 miles with no warranty. I had the engine replaced at a cost of $5710. This was a known problem by Ford causing them to issue Technical Safety Bulletin 19-2208, but did not notify the consumers. There are several class action suits for this identical issue. The recent Ford recall of the 2.0 eco boost engine in other models should have also included the 2017 Ford Edge. Ford sold this vehicle knowing the coolant intrusion would cause critical engine failure while driving leading to possible catastrophic wrecks.

2017 Ford Edge Titanium with 61,000 miles had faulty engine installed during manufacturing and is experiencing the common issue as other Ford Customers. The vehicle is experiencing coolant intrusion into the engine, specifically cylinder #2. Ford has denied the replacement of the engine (even though the vehicle only has 61,000 miles) and expected to replace the long block engine for $9,809.59.
I bought the car used from a Ford Dealer in October 2024. The car had a clean CARFAX and solid maintenance history and just under 40,000 miles at time of purchase. In December 2024, there were several instances of rough idle at time of cold start that quickly cleared. In January 2025, it stopped blowing heat. My local garage found it was low on coolant but could not identify a leak. A few more days of driving showed continued loss of coolant. I brought it back to dealer I bought it from and their service department confirmed there was coolant in the engine cylinders and a full engine replacement was needed - a condition consistent with Ford's Technical Service Briefing issued in 2019. Ford customer service is unwilling to support the cost of that repair due to the age of the vehicle. Ford has admitted that there was a manufacturing defect in some of their engine line across models. They issued a recall for certain models with this issue, but not for my vehicle. It is insane to me that a car manufacturer, who acknowledges a mistake in production of their engines won't stand behind a vehicle with less than 45,000 miles on the engine.

**Incident Summary:** I am reporting an issue with my 2017 Ford Edge with an EcoBoost engine. The vehicle has 39,844 miles on it. The component that failed is the head gasket, which has warped due to coolant intrusion. This issue led to the necessity of a full engine replacement. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. **Safety Concerns:** The malfunction compromised my safety and the safety of others as it led to the car overheating and the check engine light coming on. These symptoms started during the summer. Overheating poses a significant risk, potentially causing engine failure while driving, which could lead to dangerous situations on the road. Moreover, the presence of coolant in the oil and exhaust fumes indicated severe engine damage, which could have resulted in a fire hazard if not addressed promptly. **Problem Reproduction and Confirmation:** The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by an authorized Ford dealership. They performed a detailed inspection and diagnosed that the engine needs to be replaced due to the warped head gasket and coolant intrusion. **Inspections:** The vehicle and the failed component have been inspected by the Ford dealership. No inspections have been conducted by police, insurance representatives, or other authorities. **Warning Signs:** There were warning signs prior to the complete failure. The check engine light started coming on intermittently over the summer, and the car began to overheat. These symptoms indicated an underlying issue, which eventually led to the discovery of the warped head gasket and coolant intrusion. **Assessment:** Based on the inspections and symptoms, it is clear that the coolant intrusion into the engine led to the head gasket's failure. This is a known issue with EcoBoost engines, and it caused significant damage, warranting a complete engine replacement.
The check engine light comes on due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. The repair is to replace the engine! This issue has been affecting many Fords, resulting in the issuance of a Technical Service Bulletin.

Coolant Intrusion issue - this is a known issue subject to a class action lawsuit. My vehicle was textbook - check engine light with accompanying code for a misfire on Cylinder 3. Then it would run rough upon starting. Next, the heater was acting up (on and off). Then billowing white smoke that smells sweet. Coolant reservoir was low, but not empty. Vehicle has 75,000 miles on it and is not drivable without a $7000-$9000 long block replacement due to the risk of fire. Called Ford customer service and was told the TSB did not even apply to my vehicle (as though a known design defect is related to a particular manufacturing facility).
I was driving down the highway at highway speeds (60-70mph), and bunch of lights came up on my dashboard. Primarily, the vehicle was indicating a high temperature issue. Due to this high temperature, the vehicle went into “low power mode”, to conserve heat, which caused my gas pedal to respond slowly, and leaving me feeling very unsafe. I have since gotten the car inspected and repaired. The independent service center (Christian Brothers - Fossil Creek), identified that the issue was a coolant intrusion into 2 cylinders that effectively ruined the engine. I had to have a whole engine replacement. Ford is not offering any support, even though the NHTSA has reported it as a known problem with this engine type (bulletin 19-2346)
2L EcoBoost Engine was diagnosed as having porosity issues (tiny holes throughout engine which causes the coolant to leak into engine). The dealership informed me that it is a manufacturer defect and the only fix is to drop a new engine into the vehicle. My manufacturer warranty has obviously expired, but there are known recalls issued on a large number of their newer vehicles for the exact same issue I'm experiencing, as well as a civil suit filed against them in the state of California for the exact year and model of my car for the same issue. I contacted Ford Consumer Affairs and was told they are unwilling to do anything to fix their error as the warranty has expired. While I understand there is no current warranty, if a recall is issued they are responsible for fixing/replacing the faulty part(s) regardless of an existing warranty. Given that this is solely an issue caused by Ford Motor Company, they should be liable to resolve this issue. This problem causes other issues with the heating/cooling system as the coolant levels go to basically zero when the car is being operated as all the coolant is running throughout the engine block and has been known to cause fires and is a major safety hazard for anyone forced to drive a vehicle in this condition.
Coolant intrusion into the engine block due to a manufacturing defect in the cylinder walls. Needs engine replacement. I have had this car since 12/8/2020. No extended warranty. I have 60,000 miles on this 2017 Ford Edge and it needs an $8,000.00 engine. I still owe $11,000.00 on this vehicle. If the engine isn't repaired, it could overheat shutting down the motor and could cause extreme danger to the driver and even resulting in a fatality. We as consumers need your help in creating a recall on these vehicles. There are thousands of us that have lost so much money to repairs that should not be happening due to faulty engine blocks.

I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue I have encountered with my Ford vehicle, which I believe may indicate a broader safety concern that warrants investigation. Below is a detailed account of the problem: On November 27, 2024, my vehicle’s check engine light came on. I took it to O’Reilly Auto Parts, where the diagnostic code recommended replacing the spark plugs and coils due to a misfire in cylinder #2. Following their recommendation, I took the vehicle to Deer Valley Car Care, where the spark plugs were replaced. The check engine light turned off afterward. However, just one week later, the check engine light came on again, and the vehicle began to overheat. I had the vehicle towed back to Deer Valley Car Care, where they diagnosed coolant in cylinder #2. They advised me to take the vehicle to Bell Ford, as they informed me that this was a known issue with Ford engines, and Ford recommends replacing the entire engine in such cases. Upon further inspection by Bell Ford, they confirmed the diagnosis and also recommended replacing the long block engine. This issue, as explained by the dealership, is a known defect with the engine, and Ford is recalling newer models for this problem, but not my specific model. My vehicle has only 75,000 miles on it, and I take excellent care of it. To find that a defect in the engine has caused coolant intrusion into the cylinder is troubling. The fact that Ford does not offer a repair solution and instead recommends a full engine replacement further reinforces the seriousness of the issue. I was quoted approximately $9,000 for the repair, which I find unacceptable considering the relatively low mileage on the vehicle and the nature of the defect. Ford has acknowledged that this is a known issue, yet only newer models are included in their recall, leaving vehicles like mine outside the scope of any recourse. I believe Ford should be held accountable for this defect.
Check engine light has been on and white smoke coming from exhaust and engine Been in for recall repairs several times. Steering wheel feels unstable when driving Suspension is unreliable. This is a very dangerous vehicle to be driving and needs to be recalled for these Known issues.
Took my car to my mechanic said that coolant was draining into my 2.0 ecoboost engine in cylinder 4 causing misfire, white smoke to come out of my pipes, sweet antifreeze smell in the cabin. Have to constantly dump coolant into the car so that it doesn't over heat.when i start the car in the morning it acts as if the car is going to die if I don't hit the gas. Contacted ford, they said it was my problem. I bought the car a year ago. It started at about 72000 miles.
My wife was driving the car and had no heat. Once she got home we realized that the car was out of coolant. This has been found to be the known issue with this car. Coolant intrusion into the cylinder. This has the potential to overheat causing someone to pull over and get hit on the highway. Especially with the snow and low visibility conditions I’m glad my wife was able to make it home without being injured. This car is only a 2017 with around 122,000 miles. I’m writing this to hopefully save someone else in the future.
I am reporting a cracked cylinder block in my 2017 Ford edge with only 64000 miles and now not warranted for repair. I was informed by Ford Motor dealership it would cost me 10,000 dollars for entire engine replacement. I had two more payments before a total payoff on this vehicle.

My car had a check engine light on and I took it to the dealership to get it checked out and they said that coolant had leaked into cylinder 2 causing misfire and the whole engine needed replaced. The ford rep said it’s a common issue know with that specific engine. Coolant is very flammable and could’ve very easily started an engine fire.

It appears that just 85000 miles this engine is starting to consume engine coolant. I am afraid this is going to lead to major engine repair costs.
Brought car with 54k miles. Went to dealer 1 month before warranty ended. I was told there were specific problems which I fixed. I later went back a few months later and was told it’s the battery. The Check engine light came back on a month later. I was told Coolant is leaking into the engine requiring you to need new engine. It’s dangerous because car won’t go over 20 mph. Even if you push gas you can’t go faster. Smoke coming out of exhaust. Smell is toxic. There is no explanation as to why this happens.

Vehicle started overheating and showing low coolant levels, repeated refills and no external leaks indicated a separate problem. White exhaust and engine warning light indicated possible coolant intrusion. Took to local dealer who confirmed coolant intrusion.

Hello, I have reported this issue before and am still looking for help. My 2017 ford edge 2.0 liter Ecoboost engine leaked coolant into the cylinders causing engine failure. Ford is unwilling to recall ford edge engines from 2015 - 2019 ? It is my understanding that "Dive Brief Ford recalls over 90K vehicles for Ecoboost engine failures The recalled vehicles include six 2021-2022 Ford and Lincoln models equipped with either the 2.7L or 3.0L version of the engines." Published Sept. 5, 2024 My reason for including this article is, I am not reading there is a safety hazard, simply that there can be catastrophic engine damage. Well, I would think that the damage caused by coolant leaking into cylinders causes catastrophic engine damage, to the point of having to replace my engine. I can include numerous letters from people on the internet experiencing same problem. Please help us with recalling the 2.0 Ecoboost engine from Ford Motor Company.

On 2 occasions my 2017 Edge car would not start. Check Engine light came on and I took it to my local mechanic. I was told blown gasket and coolant in engine. Vehicle has been running perfectly with only 62,000 miles. Warranty has expired so now I have to pay $9,000 for new engine. Ford needs to recognize this has occurred repeatedly in the Ford Edge and proceed with a recall. Ridiculous that this would happen in a well maintained vehicle with low mileage.
Putting the car in drive and would drive a few feet suddenly, all the panel lights ( check engine, abs,hazard control,electric parking brake,) literally every light on the panel would turn on and engine would stall causing the steering to become hard to control. This happened 3 times within a 2 week span then, I brought it into dealership and was told my coolant had leaked into my cylinders causing the engine to become ruined and that’s why I was having the problems with the engine and steering. My car has only 59000 miles.

Our 2017 Ford Edge had 67,000 miles and it developed a cracked block. We needed to replace the long block engine. It turns out Ford issued a Technical Service Bulletin number 19-2346 in 2019. This bulletin applies to all Ford Edges produced from 2015 - 2018 and other Ford models. Even though this problem was experienced by thousands of these vehicles the owners were never advised. This is a major engine defect that could cause many dangerous conditions including engine fires. The cost of Ford's recommendation to fix this problem was well over $10,000. This engine failure was a clear defect that Ford should have and still needs to issue a recall and to take full responsibility. I know you have received similar complaints from many Ford owners with the same problem. Please take action to cause this to happen and order Ford to compensate those already affected by this defect. Thank you.

On [XXX], my check engine light came on, followed by random shaking vibration after starting up the vehicle. I received code P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected. Autozone recommended to replace the ignition coil or spark plug. I replaced the ignition coil first and noticed there were oil inside of the hole and on the old ignition coil. I took my vehicle to Lafontaine Ford Lansing dealership in Lansing, Michigan. I was informed the oil was caused by valve cover gasket leaking. The cylinder misfire was caused due to coolant leaking into the cylinders. Two cylinders had already contained coolant. I was told this will result in engine failure and overheating eventually if I continue to drive the vehicle. Ford suggested to replace the long block and quoted me $11, 372.45 for the repair. My warranty expired at 100,000 miles. At the time of this incident, I was at 115,577 miles. This appeared to be a common issue/defect that Ford failed to disclose and refused to fix. I declined the repairs due to the exorbitant cost and left the vehicle parked. This defect (which Ford is at fault for) could have jeopardized my safety and other drivers on the road if it led to a potential fire while driving from Ohio.

I have the coolant intrusion leak. My vehicle's engine light is on for misfires, and it overheats.
I took my 2017 Ford Edge to a Ford dealer in town to have a diagnostic evaluation due to the "check engine" light coming up. The service associate notified me that the engine block needed to be replace due to coolant intrusion into the cylinders. Please see TSB 19-2208 for reference. There were no issues with the vehicle prior to the check engine light coming on. The date this occurred was 10-16-2024.

Check engine light came on in June. Had oil change at the dealership and check engine light did not come on until July. Dealership said a coolant intrusion in cylinder 2 was causing misfire and a new engine was recommended. This is a 7 year old car with 47K miles. Engine cost was 11+K and I contacted Ford Motor Co. for assistance on August 12, 2024. After numerous phone calls and forwarding documentation Ford says they will reimburse some of the cost. This process has taken over 60 days for me to continue to follow up, (return calls promised, but never happened), request to speak with a supervisor, explain the situation repeatedly to the same "Concern Team" member. Ford Motor Co. knows that engine failure or worse is possible, but does not take responsibility, This should be a MAJOR recall!!!!

Service engine light came on, it was taken to an independent service center. The code was a "misfire" to cylinder 3. When the spark plug was removed, it was wet with coolant. This means coolant is in my engine which can cause irreparable damage to my engine. It is over $9k for me to fix. This is a devastating design flaw. Also, the backup camera freezes, and the backup warning sytem stops when the camera freezes, which can cause an accident

The check engine light would intermittently light up and then go out for a few months prior to system failure. In the week prior to failure, we took the vehicle to AutoZone and used their engine code scanner to try to diagnose the problem. Based on the result of that, we first changed the spark plugs, which initially made the check engine light turn off for about a week, then it came back on. We then replaced the ignition coils, the check engine light never went out. A couple of days after that, while I was driving home from work one morning, the check engine light started to flash at me, which it had not done before, the car started shaking, and the RPM pin started dancing but would not exceed 2000RPM. We took it to the dealership where they diagnosed a coolant intrusion in cylinder 2 and told us this is a known problem with Turbo Boost engines from 2015-2018 and that there is currently a class action lawsuit underway to push Ford Motor Company to make it an official recall. They recommended replacing the engine or trading the vehicle in for a new car. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic, who confirmed the dealership's diagnosis and replaced the engine with a 2019 ReMan turbo boost engine, including brand new turbo hoses and gaskets. The total bill came to $8367.64
I took my Ford edge to the service department of Pine belt Ford. They let me know that there was a crack in my engine block, causing coolant to leak into the engine.
I have been told that 2017 Ford Edge has a leaking gasket and that coolant is seeping into the engine and mixing with oil. Ford is telling me I need to replace the whole engine. Cost is $9200. They are telling me not to drive it. I guess this has been a problem with many similar Ford engines. Not sure why this is not covered by recall. Basically I am going to have to trash 7 year old car with 85,000 miles on it. I am very disappointed that Ford is not stepping up. I am also surprised that the NHTSA hasnt extended the recall to this model.
My 2017 Ford Edge developed a crack in the long block of the engine. This led to coolant leaking into the block and causing the engine to idle roughly. The service engine light was constantly on and the long block had to be replaced. When I asked the mechanic if the new engine assembly was the same, he said that Ford had beefed the new ones up because they new they had problems with the old ones. Total cost was over $5300

2.0 eco boost motor. Intrusion of coolant into the 1st and 2nd cylinder. Superior warranty and Ford company refuse to take any responsibility of this issue. It is a known issue and it has cost me $6624 and it is hard enough to have to buy 2nd hand car but 3 days after this issue arises. As is vehicle. Ford should be liable. 111k miles at time of repair. Started as fuel issues per Starks where bought car to spark plugs and coils to motor and fly wheel.
I had my engine replaced last year due to cylinders misfiring and leaking coolant into the engine. 1 year later, the check engine light came on again. It turns out the new engine had the same problem and also had to be replaced. Coolant leaking into the engine could have caused the engine to get too hot and could have resulted in a fire. The dealer confirmed the issue was the same as what happened last year and has already replaced the engine (for a second time). This time it was covered under the new warranty, last time it wasn't. The dealer confirmed the issue when they inspected the car. This time, I only knew something was wrong when the check engine light came on, otherwise the car seemed to drive without issue.
My 2017 Ford engine had a catastophic failure and required replacement. Sequence of events: January 8 2024, Check Engine light came on and at 99350, the spark plugs were replaced to correct . March 12 2024, Check Engine light came on again at 100900, the coils were replaced to correct. March 19 2024, Catastropic Engine light came while driving on interstate 75, the engine block cracked and was replaced. While replacing the engine it was noted that the Power Take Off Asy-s was also defective and needed replacement. As things progressed it was learned that Ford knew of an engine design failure but did not issue a recall. Fortunately the interste highway engine failure did not cause an accidentbut easily could have. I am currently asking Ford for reimbursement of the enging and Asy-s.
A check engine light appeared after a couple rough idle starts. I took it in to have the code read and it was a Cylinder 2 misfire. It was explained that it was not a big deal, just needed to replace spark plugs. I replaced spark plugs (car has 65K miles), picked the car back and the problem still existed. Took it back in with the same check engine code of Cylinder 2 misfire, this time the replaced a ignition coil. Picked it up and still had the same issue, and I took it back and they replaced the fuel injector. After the fuel injector was replaced, 2 days later I was driving it home still having the same exact issues of when I originally took it in rough, misfiring start the car over heated. I shut the car off and seen that I had zero coolant. I put coolant in the reservoir ( completely shocked because I had just had an oil change, and they didn't notice the coolant was low). The next morning I called the place I had been taking it and told them what happened and they were stumped. So, I called Ford told them the issues I was having, they said, they are 100% sure they know the issue( because it is a known issue with this year and make of vehicle) of what is wrong with it but to bring it in and they will run a diagnostic on it. With in an hour they said, that I had a coolant leak that was leaking behind the spark plugs and going out the exhaust causing the misfire and white smoke. To replace the motor will be $7K. I bought this car brand new, had the extended warranty and maintenance plan on the vehicle. It was kept in pristine condition and never missed a oil change or any recall. Then 6 months after the warranty is out, this issue began. Ford knows that this is an issue and they have a technical warning on it for the Ford edge and other vehicles. It is a unsafe to drive and not fair that I need to pair 7k for a new engine on a issue they know they have with this engine.

Enginge defect, ecoboost 2.0, Coolant intrusion
Check engine light is still on after incurring approx. $1K+ in other repairs within the last 6 months. Took it to dealership whose invoice states, "Verified customer concern of check engine light and low coolant. Performed coolant pressure test and found cylinder #2 to have coolant intrusion." Apparently a TON of other 2017 Ford Edge owners have had the same exact issue at various points of the car's lifespan [XXX] ). I don't know how this hasn't become a recall by now. Estimate of repair is $10.5K+ and the car is only 7 years old. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The issue is with the ECO BOOST. on 8/23/24 Helena Motors diagnosed the issue as coolant intrusion into the cylinder. A check engine light came on and off several times. Each time the vehicle was inspected by the dealership and finally the issue identified in August.
I maintained my vehicle according to what dealership told me. I only had the dealership that sold me the vehicle, do all mtce since I purchased it. My engine light came on so I took it in to determine what the issue was. They indicated I had a mis fire and there was coolant in one of the cylinders so I needed a new engine. Upon learning this, I did some internet research to find out many many people have had the same issue. There are also TSBs that Ford put out to dealers but not consumers of a known defect in engine block design that makes it a high risk for the failure I experienced. My dealer or Ford never communicated any risk to me. This Engine should have been recalled!!!
Our engine failed soon after a Ford dealership looked at our Edge. They told us there were some issues, but they did not tell us they were immediately needed. We drove a month or so, and the engine light came on. We immediately called, and the earliest they could get us in was a few weeks out. So we tried to treat it gently. It died Friday due to coolant intrusion into the 2nd cylinder. Had they told us there was something urgent we could have done to repair it, we would have. The dealership says they would have only covered up to 100k miles as standard for powertrain. They admit nothing about the fact that their Ecoboost engines 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0 all have major problems and many of which have been recalled, some my year. They are quoting me $10k to fix, and they can only put the same engine in, even though I'm seeing there is also a 3.5L OEM engine available in this trim that is allegedly far more reliable. I believe they should cover this known issue, both because they knew and because they did not tell me it was a safety concern.
In early 2024 my 2017 Ford Edge began experiencing overheating. The car began slowing speeds to compensate for engine becoming too hot. Upon further investigation it was determined that my 2017 Ford Edge engine had a design flaw created by Ford Motor Company Being a retired widowed female, this was very upsetting for me. I did not have 6200.00 to replace my engine. I beleive the right thing to do is always doing the right thing. So I beleive Ford Motor Company should be held accountable, given this is their bad engine design flaw. Owners of the this model as well as other years and models of Fords have been affected. Do we have to have a fatality to recieve help? I tried to download docs. and class action lawsuits against Ford but unable to. But if I can see the class action lawsuits so can Ford. PLEASE do the right thing. This can have devistaing financial hardships. Thank you.

My engine light came on and the purge valve was replaced. I have 71k miles on my edge. Two weeks later the light came back on and on my way to the Ford service department, I started to get warnings of coolant leaking into engine, the car was powering down and i barely it there. I was told that I need a new engine at $8,500! I just put new tires on, new brakes and rotors, new wipers and replaced a purge valve, all for thousands of dollars. I don’t have $8,500 so I am out a vehicle!!! I borrowed my friend’s ford edge 2018 with 29k and within 3 weeks the engine light came on and I was driving it to be checked out with his mechanic to have it completely power down with the same frightening message of coolant leaking into the engine. Both our cars are sitting and out of commission!!! Ford needs to help its customers with repairs on their defective ecoboost engine design. My car was garaged, loved and always serviced at a ford dealership. I am sick over this entire situation for myself and friend and all the other ford customers faced with this poor engine design. My edge is a 2017 and my friend has a 2018…how can one person carefully driving both cars within 3 weeks time have both engines completely die and need total replacements!!! I hope a class action lawsuit comes soon!
COOLANT LEAKING INTO CYLINDER. ENGINE HAS 72,440 MILES. ENGINE SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACEMENT. COMMENT ISSUES WITH FORD EDGE
Coolant is leaking into my cylinders causing misfire and potentially hazardous issues to my vehicle. There are only 69,000 miles on my vehicle. It is low mileage by industry standards. This will be more than a $9,000 repair which is devasting to our finances. This is a design flaw, a manufacturer flaw and it is dangerous both physically/mechanically and financially to the owner.
My spark plugs need to be changed every 6 months. Eventually had to get a new engine because of it. I have 5000 miles on the new engine and already had to get new spark plugs today again. Please recall this!!

The vehicle engine has a design flaw, the head gasket on all Ford eco-boost engines made in 2017 will inevitably break do to an unsecure seal to the top of the engine, this is because of the newly implemented cooling channels in between each cylinder, causing the inevitable failure of the engine
The motor has failed and possibly could be a manufacturing defect according to the mechanic. He has several instances of this model of car that the motor failed prematurely costing owners thousands of dollars to install a new motor! Also, stated that the car should be immediately not driven due to the defect in the motor and could fail and even lock up or overheat putting the driver in danger due to possible fire. The check engine light did come on. The little wrench icon came on. The estimate to replace the entire engine is $4700.
My edge has been experiencing flex plate issues since 106,000 miles. It’s considered a CSP through ford there is a recall but my specific car “isn’t affected” this needs to be recalled so I can get it fixed. If this cracks all the way it could cause a fatal accident and there would be law suits. This is a huge safety concern, and needs to be pushed further as my car has the same type of flex plate as the other edges that have been recalled.
Car was at a red light. Started to pull into traffic and the car stalled which could have resulted in an accident. We have since found out that "coolant intrusion" is a known issue with "Ecoboost" engines by Ford.
I took my Ford Edge in for a routine oil change in March 2024 and I received a call from the dealership that my car had an internal coolant leak. The technician told me this was a well known issue with these Ford engines and I need to replace the engine and it would cost approximately $10,000. I have seen that other cars with engines like mine have been recalled but my VIN was not on the recall list. I called Ford and was told they could not help me but I should save all receipts in case it gets added to the recall list. I believe that this should be taken care of by the Ford Corporation as it is a known engine defect and not caused by standard use of the vehicle.
replaced spark plugs and ignition coil, keep getting misfire on cyclnder 2. Having to replace coolant every few days. Lots of research this is a known issue with 2.0 eco boost motor. How has nothing been done yet?
Long block failure causing coolant intrusion into cylinders. Ford has Tsb out on it
Approximately one week after seeing the CHECK ENGINE light appear, I had a Ford dealership service center examine my vehicle and do diagnostic testing at a cost of $180. I was told coolant was leaking into cylinder 1. They informed me that TSB 22-2229 detailed the problem, and the only solution was a long block replacement. I received a second opinion from an independent service center at a cost of $130. The answer was the same. Other than the warning light, the only evidence of a problem was some rough running of the engine on start-up on occasion.
My daughter was driving me in my 2017 Ford Edge AWD. We didn’t get very far and noticed a burning smell and a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust; there was no engine light or warnings on the display. The burning smell got intense and my daughter was having burning sensations in her nose and eyes. She immediately turned the car around and went back to my house. After turning off the ignition, we still saw smoke coming out of the exhaust and was afraid the car was going to catch fire and possibly damage my carport. It did not catch on fire, but we were very scared by the incident and it took awhile for my daughter to recover from the smoke issues. The car was towed to the dealership from where I purchased the car and they said that the antifreeze had been pushed through two cylinders and it cracked the block. The remedy is replacing the engine. Now we found out that this problem has been known by Ford Motor Company on three different engines that they manufacture. They did not send any kind of notification of the danger or make any recalls. Due to their not notifying consumers of a fire or engine failure risk, I feel Ford Motor Company is putting the safety of consumers in jeopardy.
Engine light started flashing 5mins after driving on a busy freeway. Had to pull over to allow engine to cool with children in the car. Topped off coolant. Over the next week, the leak continued. Took the car to my mechanic who was unable to replicate the issue. Warning lights continued to flash and coolant continued to leak. Took car back to mechanic who advised engine block intrusion common to Fords. Advised TSB for certain Ford vehicles (2017 Ford Edge 2.0 included) plagued by a defect that causes coolant to leak into the engine cylinders, leading to a host of problem. Reported the problem to Ford who advised me to bring the car to run diagnostics (for a $200 fee). Confirmed engine long block issue and $9700 to fix.
My check engine light came on, started idling rough, code said spark plugs, vehicle would not start so changed spark plugs and one was gunked up, vehicle started but clouds of white smoke coming out of back and coolant low. Coolant flowing into oil. This is apparently the issue with the 2.0 EcoBoost engine that should have a recall! Only 127000 miles.
Our 2017 Ford Edge is equipped with an EcoBoost engine. This engine has a defect that causes coolant to leak into the engine’s cylinders which can cause corrosion, oil dilution and contamination, and engine failure. This defect creates a safety risk because the lack of coolant created by the leaks causes overheating and can result in the cylinder head cracking, total engine failure, and/or engine fires. We took our vehicle to the Ford dealership on 7/17/24 because it was misfiring and losing power while driving. The dealership informed us that the coolant had in fact been leaking into the engine and we would need a new engine rebuild at a cost of $8,200. There were no warning lights and nothing else to indicate any issue was present until it was too late.

Coolant intrusion
2017 Ford Edge, purchased this vehicle brand new, 2 days ago was driving and car became overheated suddenly, temperature attempted to decrease via the power and within 1 hour it was in the Ford Dealership being looked at. I was told it had an engine coolant leakage problem that would require a complete replacement of a brand new long block engine; approximately $10k in repairs. I did not have extended warranty on this vehicle and the manufacturers warranty covered 5yr/60k miles. I've found thousands of other consumers with this exact issue. Ford knows it's a defect in these engines but refuses to make it an official recall. My car that was worth approx 10-13k is now worth nothing and will be sold at auction. Shame on you, Ford.

Cold start misfires in cylinder 1. Check engine light came on. Dealer inspection found coolant intrusion. Coolant pressure test confirmed coolant leaking into cylinder. Ford recommends replacing engine. The vehicle has 61,069 miles.
My vehicle began overheating suddenly. I took it to a mechanic and he says it’s a coolant leak into the cylinders and may require head gasket replacement or full engine replacement. Ford has a TSB on this very issue that they are well aware of. The TSB number is 22-2229. I spoke to a local dealer and they told me because my vehicle has 68000 miles on it, I’m over the 60k warranty from the manufacturer. I’ve only had this vehicle for 2 years and I only drive about 15 miles a day. Why is this not been issued as a mandatory recall for these vehicles? I can’t afford a new engine on a car I still owe $18000 on. I know that there have been several complaints about this from other owners. Please help to escalate this to an actual recall.

Took car to dealer because of check engine light. Was told coolant leaked into engine and engine needs to be replaced. Have since learned it’s a known/common issue happening to many Fords with EcoBoost engines. Car only has approx. 53,000 miles on it.
Engine miss fire cylinder number 4 and coolant leak with no visible leak anywhere but now adding half gallon of coolant every couple days. Was told about possible recall of ecoboost 2.0l engine on 2017 ford edge with a coolant leak/miss fire of engine causing destruction of the engine and or causing a fire with the car.
Coolant leaked into cylinder. Ruined engine left at dealership after being replaced with a new long block. The vehicle could have stopped running at any point. Several Ford Edge SUVs have had this exact problem. My Ford Edge was only inspected by the Ford dealership service department via diagnostic testing. The check engine light came on and I took the earliest service appointment available. Previous to the check engine light illuminating I did notice a slight hesitation in acceleration at approximately 30 mph.
Coolant intrusion on cylinder #3. Check engine light came on after rough idle. Issue verified by certified Ford dealer. This is a safety issue if the vehicle stops on a highway and is undrivable. It is a well known issue and deserves a recall.
Overheating, rough idol, smoking out exhust, left stranded with family. Coolant leak into cylinder causing complete engine failure. Known problem with ecoboost 2.0 yet no recall. New engine required with refurbished parts to fix failed 2.0 engine from shop.
My check engine light came on and I had it tested and it was a #2 misfire. Along with the check engine light was a rattling in the front end of the vehicle, when I would start the car. I changed the spark plugs, then the check engine light went away. Weeks later my check engine late came on again with the same rattling but this time it was worse. Within two days my engine over heating light came on. Myself and a friend checked for fluids and all my coolant was empty. We filled it up and then the next morning it was below the minimum fill line again. I took it into Ford dealership. When they looked into the check engine light they found coolant intrusion in Cylinder number 3 due to a faulty block.
Bought from a used lot on the dealership, 3 days later a light came on, a month later the engine failed. The coolant was leaking into the engine. $9000+ estimated repair to replace engine.
The engine is failing due to a coolant intrusion due to manufacturing defects in the cylinder walls. This issue was discovered after the check engine light came on in the SUV. The engine defects are well known and Ford will not issue a recall.
My vehicle has the same issues related to a recall where the coolant leaked into a cylinder effecting the engine which now has to be replaced. The problem is that this recall is vin specific which eliminates my vehicle from this recall. It is my opinion that this needs to be reviewed because somewhere along the lines somebody dropped the ball. How can my vehicle not fall under this recall due to a number?

Check engine light came on car which had less than 60,000 miles Ford dealer inspected vehicle and determined the ecoboost engine had a coolant leak and needed $9,000 in repairs because the coolant from the faulty piece was leaking into the cylinders
We have a 2017 ford edge that has developed a coolant intrusion in cylinder 2 which the dealer said will cost $9800.00. The vehicle only has 72,000 miles on it and I’ve seen several reports of this same problem on the NHTSA website. Has this problem had a recall or possibly a future recall? I realize there is not one on our particular vehicle and was wondering why. We are concerned for our safety as we are seniors and if the engine fails what we will do.
Upon starting the engine, there is a shake and a rough idle for a few moments. Check engine light comes on and off randomly. Each time code reads as engine misfire cylinder number 2. I have replaced spark plugs and Ignition coil. Just hit 77,300 miles. Seems to be a pretty common issue. How is there no recall yet? Today on top of that issue, temperature gauge light up and checked coolant and was very low.
Engine shakes upon start up after been sitting overnight and sometimes after was driven then cooled off, check engine light with code P0303- misfiring cylinder # 3, low coolant message on, took it for diagnosis and they say that there is coolant intrusion on cylinder # 3 due to internal engine failure, no prior overheating was observed.
My car initially gave me a check engine light. My coolant was found to be low and coolant was replaced which resolved the check engine light immediately. There were no more issues for approximately 1 week, at that time my car started to emit a white smoke from its exhaust, my check engine light turned on again at about the same time. My car was taken to the dealership where there was found to be coolant intrusion on cylinder #2. My entire engine needed to be replaced. It also took approximately 3-4 weeks for Ford to ship the engine to the dealership due to there being a shortage on engines. Ford was contacted by the dealership on my behalf and I was told there was no recall and nothing they could do for me.
The cooling system on my 2017 Ford Edge with 2.0 liter Ecoboost engine (currently with 61,000 miles) is not working properly due to coolant leaking internally in the engine from the engine head into cylinder number 2. This causes a variety of misfire codes to be set periodically on the vehicle, from P0316 (misfire during first 1000 revolutions) to P0302 (cylinder 2 misfire). The internal leak also causes coolant level in the reservoir to slowly drop, potentially leading to engine seizure and loss of vehicle control due to loss of power steering, although we have not experienced this ourselves due to knowledge of the nature of the problem - I am constantly checking coolant level. The coolant leak did, however, cause number 2 spark plug to fail causing a flashing MIL light, rendering the car undriveable until I replaced the plug. Ford Motor Company is aware of the open-deck cooling design flaw in these engines that causes the problems described above. Ford refuses to do anything about this problem (like a recall) since apparently they don't consider it a safety issue. All I've gotten out of them is basically a "sorry about your luck". Thanks for your consideration. There are probably millions of people with this same "latent defect" issue on the road.

While driving with 97K miles on it, vehicle started to stutter. The check engine light came on. We took the vehicle to a local repair shop. They replaced the evaporate purge solenoid. The coolant was low as well. They did a pressure test but could not find a leak and told us to watch it. Just before 100k miles, vehicle started to stutter again. We took it to a Ford Dealership. They found the coolant low and a cracked engine block.

The coolant/antifreeze leaks into the cylinders, after further research, this is a common defect to almost all vehicles of this make and model
Check engine light went on and car engine chugged upon starting. Took the car in to local mechanic shop and they ran diagnostics showing engine misfire. Replaced spark plugs and 1 ignition coil. Light went off and no chugging for 3 days and then the car engine began to chug again upon starting and the check engine light came back on. Took back to mechanic, said some type of wire was loose and mentioned that there was oil where there shouldn't be and apparently they saw it before. Light went off and chugging stopped. The next day or so, the light came on again and there was a white smoke coming out of exhaust pipes that had a very strange and strong odor. Took back to mechanic and they moved a coil. Said diagnostics showed battery was low so I had the battery replaced. Next day, car didn't want to immediately turnover upon start, check engine light came on as did the the battery light. Smoky white exhaust with odor returned. Made appointment at my local Ford dealer (had to wait slightly over a week to get in). Diagnostics and inspection showed a cracked engine block and it could not be repaired, only replaced. Service rep said it was a design flaw. My car is only a 2017 model (purchased brand new in 12/2017) and now has only 57k miles and is well taken care of. All of these car symptoms came on suddenly and and took about a month to resolve with back and forths to the mechanic and then the dealership. I was worried that the car might catch fire based on the white smoke, the odor and the check engine light continuing to come on. I spent a lot of money on the engine replacement... this shouldn't happen to a young engine with low miles. If there was a design flaw with the ecoboost engine... it should be recalled.
My 2017 Ford Edge has a 2.0 ecoboost engine with a known defect problem. Antifreeze is leaking into the cylinder which could cause it to overheat and a potential fire. It has been checked at two separate FORD dealerships, and they both confirm the same issue. The yellow multi dash lamp has gone on and stayed on since the incident occurred. The first incident was on 4-3-2024.
Check engine light came on. Checked it and reset it. Did not reoccur. Two days later high engine temperature light can on. I checked coolant level and found it low. No evidence of leakage was found where car is parked in the garage. Took car to ford dealer after reading my car problems were similar to many ford edges with the same engine. Ford dealer explained ford had issued a bulletin to their dealers that this type engine could experience coolant leakage into the cylinders due to an engine design error in the second generation ford edge engine. This problem requires a complete engine replacement. Ford does not offer any financial help to pay for fixing this problem. My cost will be over $8500. There are many, many reports of similar owners having this problem.
2017 Ford Edge was rattling with starting it in the morning. We received a backdated letter about a flexplate recall. We took car in to check it out. Service guy said to go home, “you would know if it was the flexplate”. Then car was rattling a little more and check engine light came on, so I brought the car and the letter back in and same service guy said he would check it out. Charged me $764 to change out 4 spark plugs and an ignition coil. Said car was fine to drive and that they checked all cylinders etc. But they were going to ask for Ford approval to replace flexplate….. They called that it was approved and they kept car for many days and said it was fixed. Last week (two months and only 500 miles later), check engine light came on again. We took it back to Auto Nation. They kept car to evaluate the problem. Called us a few days later saying we would need a new engine for $8,500. Service guy said this happens a lot. Most people had traded in for new cars. One guy with extended warranty got it fixed. We asked if cylinders, plugs, etc were fully checked 2 months ago, why would you say cylinders are corroded now? Did fixing the flexplate cause the problem? We looked online and saw talk of class action lawsuits, cylinder issues, Ecoboost engine issues, and possible car fire issues. This caught our attention as a huge safety concern. We are not sure how to proceed. (I have all paperwork from Autonation and recall letter.)
Coolant leaking into engine and causing it to overheat.
I took my 2017 Ford Edge to the dealership I purchased from (Eddie Pruitt Ford) due to the check engine light being on. I was told that the engine needed to be replaced due a coolant intrusion in #2cylinder. This is a known issue with this engine, as a TSB was provided to Ford mechanics. . The codes were P0301 and P0304, which means there was a defect in the engine that would allow coolant intrusion into the cylinder. This is a widespread problem and should be recalled by Ford.
Motor has coolant intrusion per FORD technical service bulletin. Vehicle show P0303 miss fire cylinder 3 code, low coolant, and white exhaust from the tail pipes. Issue confirmed by for Technical Service bulletin. 22-2229 issued/ revised June of 2022 pertaining to 2015-2018 Edge Vehicles with 2.0L Ecoboost engine . Flaw is in the cooling deck around the cylinders prematurely wearing causing coolant to leak into the cylinder head. triggering misfires and potential engine failure while in operation. Spoke with Ford and they stated the vehicle is out of warranty therefore they will not do anything about the issue.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? -The Engine had to be replaced due to coolant and oil leaking through the 4th cylinder into the engine itself, effectively killing it. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? -The car unexpectedly shook very violently, and would not properly accelerate due to the problem. Smoke clouded the street as I drove to the repair shop - and other drivers were worried for mine and others safety. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? -The problem was confirmed by an independent mechanic as well as a Ford dealer, who told me this is a common occurrence with this specific engine, though there is no recall. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? -The Ford dealer inspected the engine and came to the same conclusion as the independent mechanic - the engine had suffered an intrusion of oil and coolant through the 4th cylinder which effectively killed the engine. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? -The check engine light had been on for around a year prior. Also, the acceleration had been getting weaker and weaker.
At about 99000miles the engine light came on, resulting in a diagnostic coe P0302 ( Cylinder #2 missfire). This caused the vehicle to have trouble starting and the front end to shake. Soon a warning light indicatingh the engine was very hot iluminated after checking spark plugs, coils, throtle body, air filter, I notice my antifreeze coolant reservoir was empty, however there was no sigh of leak. I been driving the vehicle since then requiring to constantly add coolant to the reservoir. I have not taking the vehicle to the dealer for this particular reason. My vehicle experiences all the synptoms for a leak into to the cylinder. I can not afford to pay for the replacement of an engine or for repairs cuased by a poor design by Ford. I dont kmnow where to go to get this fix
The engine coolant leaks into the pistons due to cracked cylinder wall Car is goes through coolant very quickly which may cause the engine to overheat or catch fire. There is no noticeable leak from outside the vehicle and is not obvious the coolant gets low/empty very quickly Vehicle has been inspected by Ford Dealership and a third part mechanic, both confirmed the coolant leak and cracked cylinder wall A check engine light came on, but it was for misfires in the engine, not identifying the coolant leak. (Coolant in the cylinder caused car to misfire on start up)
Have misfiring when starting car -Had check engine light come on with code p302 ( cylinder 2 misfire). I had the spark plugs replaced, problem continued then had the ignition coil in cylinder 2 replaced to diagnose if it was firing problem or in the motor. Turns out the long block (engine )will need replace do to ford coolant leak in cylinder ,witch may cause overheating- engine loss - as bad as engine fires. Whats worse is that the new engine is the same 2.0 ecoboost engine with high chane of same issue happening again. All of this was over a 2 month period with a certified mechanic trying to diagnose every time. All active recalls have been done and done by ford dealer also. The potential of a fire or engine loss in any of these ecoboost motors is high a risk.
My 2017 Ford Edge Titanium is in Pep Boys shop having the engine block replaced due to coolant leaking into the cylinders. This issue has been diagnosed by my mechanic and could have been a possible fire hazard. The engine overheats to extreme temperatures causing the engine to catch fire. The engine light came on while I was driving car. The engine also alerted me by voice in the car that it was reducing my speed and power to the the motor due to overheating. After 3 different mechanics assessed the situation it was determined that the engine coolant was leaking into the cylinders. The engine has been replaced now. This has apparently affected other models.

Engine light came on. Took vehicle to Villa Ford of Orange. They hooked up a code reader and said 2 codes came up: misfire and spark plug. They couldn’t look at it that day so I took it to Fullerton Ford, they said come back first thing The next morning. Took it back To Fullerton Ford, they looked at it and told me there coolant in the engine and the engine was blown. I bought this vehicle brand new 7 years ago. I only have 42,131 miles on it. It is not out of warranty by mileage but is out of warranty by years. All of the maintenance has been done by Villa Ford of Orange. There has been no negligence on my part. And no reason for the engine to have blown with only 42,000 miles on it. This is definitely a defective engine and have heard of others with this same issue with this engine. Ford needs to step up to the plate and recall this engine. Thank you in advance for your help.

Engine coolant leaking into engine block causing it to overheat.
My check engine light has come on twice in the past month. I was told the first time it was my spark plugs and that possibly coolant was leaking into the head gasket. They fixed my spark plugs and the light went off. A month later the light comes on. Turns out coolant is leaking into the head gasket which is a KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM IN FORD CARS! When I called Ford they were not shocked to hear this. They even told me how often they see it and the guy I talked to said he doesn't understand how there is not a recall. I was told how extensive and expensive the repairs are and that I should just get a new car. My car is well maintained, less than 100,000 miles and less than 10 years old. I have gotten 3 other opinions from mechanics who have said the same thing. They say this is a COMMON problem in Fords and they see it constantly. Shame on Ford for letting it go this long. I will never purchase a Ford again and tell everyone I know to never purchase one.
The coolant is leaking into the engine. This has been reported more than 900 times and Ford has yet to issue a recall or make people aware of the issue. This can be hazardous breaking down on the highway and especially when traveling alone with areas having no cell service. On 4/4/2024, I was on my way to the office when my car started overheating out of nowhere and went into low power mode. Cars zooming past me because I couldn’t keep up is very dangerous. I was stuck and couldn’t get over anywhere. On 4/10/24, I’m told to get proof that I had routine maintenance done to my car and on 4/11, I was told the engine needed replacing. It was acknowledged that this is a known issue.
Engine replaced for the first time on october 2023 and a second time new engine again in nov. 2023 This is wrong!!
Purchased 2017 Ford Edge new from Ford dealership. Vehicle maintained by same dealer since new. At approximately 81950 miles the check engine light appeared. Error codes indicated cylinders 2 and 4 were misfiring. All four spark plugs and coils were changed and engine light cleared. Approximately 5 lays later it reappeared and engine ran ruff. Took vehicle to a ASE certified shop that ran a diagnosis indicating several codes. Further investigation revealed water in number 2 cylinder. Was informed by shop tech that there is no repair as engine block design is faulty. Returned to Ford dealer and was informed that engine would need replaced at a cost of $10,000. Drove vehicle for a few more days (approx. 100 miles) during which on 3 occasions the engine would suddenly run ruff and stop resulting loss of power steering and brakes. - engine failure, yes available for inspection - engine stopping, loss of power steering and power brakes - yes confirmed by dealer and independent service center - yes, check engine light and engine running ruff (81950 miles)

I have a 2017 Ford Edge and have the issue of intrusion of coolant into the cylinders, which I learned from some research is a known problem that this model is having. It initially was a check engine light. I brought it to an oil change place and they ran the code and said I needed a tuneup. I got a tuneup and the light returned. It caused the engine to overheat. Luckily, I was not stranded but could have easily been stranded with my grandkids in the car on a roadway. The only resolution is a complete engine replacement costing me $8,000 because Ford has not issued a recall on this known problem and is not standing behind their product.
I got got the classic Cyl#2 misfire a month after buy it from a local Ford dealer, threw money at it coils wiring harness plugs, took it back to them and they told me it needs a new engine. The engine has coolant leaking into cyl #2 causing the code. The dealership suggested I Trade the edge in for another one, yeah just got stuck with a $19,000 loan for this one I need another $19,000 on top? I already pay $381 a month that would double my monthly bill. so my choices are slim to none. I don't want a boat anchor or a paper weight I have to get a loan to replace the engine for $6,200, To my understanding there are more than 750,000 vehicle affected by the flawed engine design. They knew about the flaw 2019 and redesigned the engine at least 3 more times. There are attached TSBs from Ford.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 60 MPH, and the coolant warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the wife's place of employment and coolant was added to the coolant reservoir. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 75,108.

Coolant is getting into the cylinder 1. There is a TSB for the issue 19-2208 which Ford does not seem to be concerned with and engines are needing replaced at an early age just out of the 60,000 warranty.
I have already filed a report on my 2017 Ford Edge, I wanted to add this statement Ford made. Recall Programs A recall is conducted to remedy a Safety, Compliance, or Emissions concern. Recalls are Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)-specific programs. There are no expiration dates on Safety Recalls or Safety Compliance Recalls. Also, there are generally no expiration dates on Emission Recalls or Emission Compliance Recalls. Reasons for holding Ford Motor Company accountable. Thank you.
The component that has failed is the engine. It is available upon request to be inspected. I believe the safety issue lies in that the motor overheats and is possibly a fire risk. I have had my car engine inspected by an ASE mechanic and confirmed engine block needs replaced. The car was determined to have an issue by engine check light. Needed to constantly replace Coolant, was found to be leaking into cylinders. According to report from ASE mechanic, date of issue on report June 09, 2022 2015-2018 FORD EDGE, FORD FUSION and MKC listed on TSB. ISSUE SUMMARY, Some 2015-2018 EDGE and 2017-2019 FUSION/MKZ/ESCAPE/MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0 l EcoBoost engine may exhibit low coolant level, white exhaust smoke, runs rough. DTC {codes} include P0300, P0301-P0304,P0316,P0217, P1285 and or P1299 stored in control module. To correct condition follow service procedure to replace the long block engine assembly.
I have a 2017 Ford Edge 2.0L Eco Boost Engine and it has 71,559.8 miles on it. It has started to burn Coolant in cylinder 1, has white smoke coming out of exhaust, runs ruff and idles ruff and my engine light is on since this has started. It all started last week driving to work.
I have coolant entering in to one of the cylinders. This is a design flaw by ford. Now my veichle is not starting because it seased up and sitting in a repair shop and need a engine swap with a cost of $8.000
The engine is malfunctioning. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The engine could fail, loss of power, if while passing a vehicle on 2 lane highway a major loss of coolant, overheating due to loss of coolant. Result could be major damage to engine and or fire or both resulting in an accident . The problem has been confirmed by both a Ford dealership and an independent service center. The vehicle engine has been inspected by a Ford dealership in Jacksonville Fl. The engine warning light has come on several times since late 2022 or early 2023. This is when it 1st appeared. 2 dates are significant here: 3/28/23 an engine diagnostic completed due to engine light on, a slight mist detected into cylinder one. 2/19/24 another engine diagnostic completed at Autonation Ford in Jacksonville FL. Confirmed to me by telephone conversation that coolant is leaking into a cylinder. The remedy: a new, remanufactured or used engine has to be installed. All this information is on the 2.0 L Ecoboost engine made by Ford Motor Co. This problem has been known by Ford since maybe as early 2013, not only on this model from 2015-2018 but on the Ford Fusion 2017-2019, Ford Escape, built on or before 16 May-2019. Lincoln Model MKC, built on or before18-April 2019; 2017-2019 MKZ, built on or before 8-April 2019. Reference#': [XXX] issued [XXX] Superseded bulletin(s) [XXX] NOTE: Bulletin [XXX] supersedes [XXX].

After I started noticing rough idle and white smoke from exhaust my check engine light came on. Took to Fayetteville Ford in Fayetteville Ga to diagnose and repair. They told me that they discovered coolant in #2 cylinder, a well known and documented design problem, and the only fix was to replace the engine at a cost to me of $9000!
The check engine light gave codes P0302 & P0316 and I had noticed the coolant level being low. After doing some research, I see that Ford issued a TSB 22-2229 as the fix for the problem which includes a new engine block because of a poor design for the coolant flow causing the block to crack. This should fall on to Ford to repair rather than people that expect and need their vehicle to last.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, the engine overheated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with coolant leaking into the cylinder and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that coolant was leaking into the cylinder and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the vehicle was out of warranty and that there was no active recall on the VIN regarding the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to report the failure to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.

Check engine light comes back on after several return trips to repair shop and several thousand dollars in repair cost. Issue is misfires. Plugs and coils have been replaced several times, as well as starter sensor but the problem persists. I understand this is an ongoing issue with countless 2017 Ford Edge owners. Not only is it costly, but the main issue is with safety as the engine may lose power while in transit, risking a hazardous situation for the occupants of the vehicle as well as other vehicles on the road. Just last week I brought the vehicle for yet another cylinder 1 misfire, to a different shop. It cost me $585 to repair. Two days ago the same cylinder started misfiring. Bringing it back to the shop yet again.

So the ecoboost engine in my 2017 ford edge has coolant intrusion in #1 cylinder at about 120,000mi which apparently is a known defect and happening to many others with ecoboost engines from 2015 to 2018. Yes available for inspection upon request. Safety? I don't know what happens if I keep driving which I have to because the recommended fix is a replacement engine which is $8,050. I've read many other comments from other people who are also stuck paying for a vehicle they can't or shouldn't be driving. Yes confirmed by a dealership service department. No not inspected by manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. Yes check engine light came on months ago when first checked out by same dealer was told I needed a powertrain control module. Please make ford take responsibility for this. Everyday people can not afford this and leaves us basically screwed.
2017 Ford Edge 2.0 Ecoboost engine failed. Car is 6 years old and two shops have confirmed it needs to be totally replaced due to coolant intrusion. Currently still drivable, but is burning through Coolant and per dealership can be a fire hazard. Confirmed by Ford dealership. Check engine light turned on and car has 72,000 miles.
I have a 2017 Ford Edge, and the check engine light came on while driving. Per the Ford dealership service dept, there is an internal coolant leak into cylinder #2 causing engine to misfire. Also, coolant is mixing with the oil. I was told I need a new engine. Ford dealership said they were seeing many others with the same issue. Please hold Ford accountable. This is creating a serious financial hardship for me and countless others.
I bought a brand new Ford Edge in 2017 with a warranty of 5 years and 60,000 miles. Several weeks ago, my car turned the engine light on and began having difficulty staying on during idle time and at stop signs. Immediately, I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed the problem of a leakage of coolant into the cylinders. They quoted me for an amount greater than the trade in value of the vehicle. From my online research, other customers are having the same leakage recurrent issue for Ford Edges between 2016-2023. The dealer could not tell me the reason behind this leakage causing the engine to overheat. This coolant leakage happening to a lot of their vehicles is putting individuals in danger of fire, explosion, or the vehicle stopping at any movement even while driving. There is absolutely no indication that this leakage was caused by poor maintenance or excessive wear and tear, and this is a recurring issue on their cars. I am afraid to drive the vehicle and cause an explosion or a fire on the road. However, Ford dealerships across the country are sending individuals on their way with defective engines without addressing the reason why new cars are having coolant leakage and having to replace the entire engine. It is Ford's responsibility to acknowledge defective parts and stop putting customers in danger. The component Ford is saying needs repair is the long block and it can be available for inspection if needed.
The motor is liking oil to block and smoke come out from the back. And it lose power. The insurance said the a manufacturer defolte. I have paid $2000.00 for insurance and now the companies or the insurance want to fix it. Please help me.
Had oil change on [XXX]. [XXX] check engine light intermittently came on, vehicle runs rough and rattling noise under vehicle, then vehicle was blowing smoke out of exhaust. Took to dealership ran oasis TSB[XXX]. Found that underbody shield was loose from worn retainers. Also, removed spark plugs found coolant present in multiple cylinders. Required engine replacement. Ford Service bulletin 22- gave specific instructions on oil changes to this model vehicle to avoid this issue. My cousin in Roanoke VA has the same 2017 Ford Edge and had the same issue resulting in complete engine replacement. Also heard several other people in different areas had same issue of coolant present in cylinders with their Ford Edge.

My check engine light came on, took it to the dealer for an inspection, The code was p0302, miss firing of Cylinder 2. The dealer did the inspection and I was told I need a new engine because the coolant is leaking into my engine and there is no way to fix it unless, i get a whole new engine. Ford told me I could keep driving the car until the check engine light flashes at me, when that happens the car is dead. I google this issue and it turns out there is an issue with the ford engine that is 2.0 liter Ecoboost, but there is no recall on the engine, which is something major and a car with only 35,000 should not need a new engine.
The check engine light went on so I took it to the Ford Dealership. They couldn't find an immediate problem so they scheduled me for an appointment the next week. I dropped the car off today and they had it all day, finally dropping the bombshell that there was a coolant leak into cylinder 2 and I need an entirely new engine for $7k or I could sell my car and buy a new one. I'm still in shock and am doing research and apparently this is a HUGE documented problem: [XXX] and [XXX] I have been saving money to take my [XXX] parents and my 13 and 9 year old sons to Ireland in July and I am beside myself because now I can't afford it. Please don't let Ford get away with this. My car is 6 years old with 70k miles on it, I shouldn't need a new engine.

Check engine light keeps turning on and off, took it to Ford to get diagnosed. There’s a coolant leak into the cylinder 2 causing a misfire and a cracked gasket. Whole engine needs to be replaced to fix this issue, over $6500 worth of repairs that I cannot afford and Ford won’t help with costs. My car is still currently drivable but isn’t safe to drive long distance as it could break at any time while I have myself and 16 month old child in the vehicle. I have a website with other Ford Edge owners having the same engine issue and needing to replace them. This is the link; [XXX] Please hold Ford accountable to announce a recall on the engine.

I have a 2017 Ford Edge with a 2.0 Ecoboost motor that was recently diagnosed (by Ford) as needing a new engine due to Coolant Intrusion into cylinder #4. The car has only 57,000 miles and is said to have a known manufacturing defect that causes this. Fortunately I reported this issue to the dealer before it got too severe; however I've been told that the car can catch on fire due to overheating or stop altogether on the freeway because of this issue. From what I've also read Ford has numerous cars equipped with this engine and have thousands of complaints regarding it, though they refuse to do anything to remedy the situation. I therefore would like to report the situation to the NHTSA out of an abundance of caution for myself, family, and other motorists that could be impacted by this.
Driving my car this year in April 2023. My car overheated while driving. I pulled over and checked the coolant it was bone dry, thankfully I had more in my car which I refilled. I brought my car to a friend that was a mechanic and he told me my coolant was leaking into the cylinder. I brought it to the Ford dealership to confirm his findings. I was told the same thing along with I need a nrw engine. I bought the car in Feb 2021 paid 17,000. It had 75000 miles on it. I haven't been able to get it repaired I was quoated around $5600. Ford has thousands of unhappy consumers in the same situation with needing a new engine. Ford will not do a recall and they kept selling cars with faulty engines. 2015-2018 Ford Edge and other models. This is not fair to thier customers!!!!!

Our 2017 Ford Edge experienced engine problems that are linked to a service recall Ford Motor Company issued on 2016 - 2018 Ford Edge vehicles related to coolant leaks & head gasket failures. Ford is refusing to fully cover costs to replace the engine which was inspected by an authorized Ford Dealership service department & determined to have coolant entering engine cylinder. Providing clear evidence that the engine is failing under the same pretense as the recall issued by Ford. Out of pocket costs to replace were $4,833.12 paid to McMullen Ford. We are seeking reimbursement of out of pocket costs.
The component that failed was the long block and is currently available for inspection. The date when the issue 1st appeared was Nov 20 2023. The issue has since been isolated as a coolant leak in my cylinders and Ford is very aware of the issue and has a TSB 22-2229 discussing some of the symptoms. The coolant intrusion compromised the motors ability to react to demand for power. The vehicle shakes while idling and has faltered when trying to gain entry onto on-ramps for I-20. The failure of the vehicle to meet the power requirements asked of it to merge and the sudden loss of power nearly left my vehicle rear ended with both my toddler and my teenager present. The check engine light illuminated showing a code of P0301 for a cylinder 1 miss-fire. All 4 spark plugs were replaced in an attempt to fix the issue. The check engine light came on again within 48 hours after the repair was made. During the next inspection the coolant level was noted as low. Coolant was added at that time and cylinder 1 coil pack was replaced to fix the issue. The check engine light came on again and coolant was once again low within 48 hours of the 2nd repair. Ford’s service bulletin TSB 22-2229 addressing the known coolant intrusion issue for the 2015-mid 2019 Ford Edge was presented as the needed repair. This engine failure poses a risk for the car owner, occupants, and surrounding bystanders. It has a fire risk, power failure risk, and quite possible a loss of life risk. Repairs will be made by the local Ford dealership within the week.
Coolant leaking into engine cylinder. Vehicle only has 53,000 miles on it. Needs new engine. Going to be like $8,000. Not sure how they can expect middle class to pay for what they’ve done wrong. I have personally only put 4,000 miles on it. Purchased it in July.
Transmission,coolant infusion to engine Emissions, long block torqu converter failed even though i had multiple appointments to have this and the other recalls done they always canceled the appointments due to lack of parts or they were backed up in the service department. I had the majority of all (the works) oil changes done at the dealership unless they were weeks out, I complained of engine running hot and knocking sounds back in 2021, needed to be jumped every few months 2022 I was always told this was normal for a edge ecoboost with the cold weather package, they did check the battery which was fine, when the engine light came on I took it right in only to be told to make a appointment, soon after I started to lose power going up sm hills, I was told I needed new tires after this oil change and I even ended up with a nail in my time from their repair shop, 3 weeks later no engine light denied my appointment, tried to show codes from local repair shop i waa told its normal make a appointment, i questioned if its safe to drive i was told yes absolutely engine light back on the next day took it back in again told to make a appointment 2.5 weeks later no engine light on but I showed them the codes I was pulling for miss firing that I pulled multiple times at different intervals when I felt something was wrong but they didn't have a appointment to check themselves i was then told my computer reader was not accepted due to inaccurate readings made yet another attempt for a appointment, the next day I get in my car and start driving and I get a warning the car was reducing power due to over heating.it took 2 different tow trucks to get it to the dealership i have been complaining about these issues for well over 2 years only to be told I don't know what I am talking about or that it was perfectly normal if its so "normal" then why do they have a customer satisfaction program 22n12 that list my car yet denied me any assistance besides paying for the recall issues
While driving our engine light came on, we took it to our mechanic and they determined that anti-freeze was low and possibly leaking into the engine. It is causing a misfire cylinder 1 and the time before cylinder 3. I read of similar problems with other peoples 2017 Edge. I don't want to have to replace my engine.
After putting gas in the vehicle, the vehicle was acting sluggish. It did not want to start and after it did it wasn't going full speed. I proceeded to leave the gas station and no sooner did the vehicle started to sputter and 'died' while making a U-turn. I am afraid that this will cause in accident if not remedied. I don't understand that off the Ford Focus was having this issue why is this not on recall for this vehicle. I will be calling and writing to Ford on this issue. I would like this to be mentioned and I took my vehicle to Yeoman Ford of The Villages in Belleview. This is disgraceful how a part can be defective and yet not covered in another vehicle with the same issue. I would like for A Supervisor to help with this problem to please and thank you.
Coolant leaks in to the motor totally ruining the motor, overheating and leaving people on the side of the road. In some cases catching on fire. There has been lemon cases filed and class action lawsuits. Families are left without a vehicle and ruined credit due to not being able to replace motors and other parts needed out of pocket. Ford needs to be held reliable!

My vehicle's check engine light came on, so I took it to my dealer. They took a look and they said they found that the coolant was down. Upon further diagnosis, my vehicle needs a new engine. This is a know problem with the 2.0 Ecoboost engine. I found a TSB on this problem through the nhtsa.gov website, which tells me they know there is a problem. I contacted Ford and because I do not have a history of purchasing new vehicles, they couldn't offer any good will financial assistance. I am more than willing to help pay for some of the repair, as is my dealer. Ford knows that there is a problem with this engine, and will not help correct it. It has created a very difficult financial situation for my family, as I have 3 young children.
My 2017 ford edge started running rough and almost dying. Low rpms. The engine cracked allowing antifreeze to leak into the cylinders causing it to miss and overheat. Ford put out a service bulletin TSB#22-2229 addressing the "coolant intrusion" problem. So far they have not issued a recall.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who discovered a misfire in cylinder #3, as well as a minor oil leak. The spark plugs were replaced; however, the check engine and coolant warning lights both flashed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken back to the mechanic where it was discovered that the coolant level was low due to coolant leak into cylinder #3. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure; however, the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the VIN. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

Faulty head / head gasket allowed water intrusion into the cylinder.
My 2017 Ford Edge has a coolant leak into cyllinder 4 of the engine, which requires an entire replacement of the engine (approx $8k cost + labor). This is a clearly known issue (just a few links below but many other issues on google) and should require a recall. It does not seem fair for there to be a known issue like this and to expect Ford customers to pay out of pocket.

2017 Ford Edge Eco Boost - 75,300 miles (low) (purchased new) My vehicle had a rough start one morning, the next day the check engine light came on. I took it to the Ford Dealership and they said there was COOLANT INTRUSION in CYLINDERS #2 and #4 which had caused catastrophic engine failure. Full replacement is needed. This is a known issue, an engine defect the mechanic said. There have been HUNDREDS of complaints for this same issue. This isn't right. I only have 75,000 on this car, it should last 200,000 miles. I paid full price for the car but only get to use 37.5 % of the estimated usage. Doesn't seem like a fair trade.
Check engine light came on and had mechanic look at it and it was diagnosed as an electrical "misfire" issue. We were told to take the Edge to the dealership to get fixed. Scheduled a service appointment with the dealership soon after, and the dealership called me that afternoon and diagnosing issue as the coolant intrusion on caliber #3 is defective. Dealership said we need a new engine, and it's going to cost thousands of dollars. It was not covered under any warrantees. We bought the car used less than a year ago. We are so frustrated to say the least. Looking up this diagnosis online there are thousands of other owners that had the same problem. Yet, Ford hasn't rectified the problem or offered a recall for those with the same diagnosis. This is causing large dollar amounts for repairs for owners all over the USA and putting a financial burden on families.
Defective engine design allows coolant to infiltrate into the cylinder combustion chamber.
Check engine light came on after rough start. Had dealership check 9/28 and coolant is leaking into the 2nd cylinder requiring engine replacement. 71K Miles on car.
Head gasket is bad causing coolant leak into cylinder 2. Causing engine to overheat and not run properly. Ford Dealership told me engine needs to be replaced. The engine design is bad and the issue will just continue without a newly designed engine block (2019 or newer). They want me to pay $8,500 to replace their poorly designed engine. Car is at 136,000 miles. Most of which are highway miles.
Engine 2.0 had coolant leak at 71k miles went off extended warranty a month before this was January 2023 we took to ford was informed it need a new engine. On driving it home truck was overheating and turbo charger was glowing red. Had it towed to HCC college auto shop where it sits. Ford motor company has put out many service bulletin on this series of engine but done nothing to remedy problem. Why isn't this engine recall due to faulty design.
Engine coolant began getting into the cylinders causing the car to shake upon start-up. Trusted mechanics have told me this is a known issue with this type of engine. They are saying the engine needs to be replaced at a cost upwards of $8,000 All regular maintenance on this vehicle is up to date, and it is an engine flaw that is causing this. Ford needs to be responsible for engine replacement. There are multiple Ford Edge owners with the same complaint.
My Ford Edge started running rough with white smoke from the tailpipe then a check engine light came on with the codes P0316 and P0301. Dealer stated that there was a coolant intrusion into the engine and the engine would need to be replaced.
Engine coolant began getting into the cylinders causing white smoke and the car to shake upon start-up. This would result in the engine failing emissions testing and worse. In talking with multiple mechanics I have been told that this is a known issue with this type of engine. The car is just over 5 years old and has 66,000 miles but now needs most of the engine replaced. All regular maintenance on this vehicle was up to date, and it is an engine flaw that is causing this, yet Ford is not willing to assist in the engine replacement.
This is regarding reference number 830243. We took our car to the dealership in Huntington Beach California for a recall regarding the flex plate being cracked. The dealership asked if there were issues to the acceleration and if the car was shaking, I said yes. They said it may be the flex plate and to bring it in. We received notification that the flex plate was not cracked, but the torque converter was the issue. This make and model, built at the Oakville Plant in May 2017 has previously had flex plate recall. We are assessing why our vehicle was not under that recall. I have spoke to an agent at NHTSA who stated that the manufacturer is in charge of the recall roll out and what vin numbers are covered. I called Ford, who I assumed to be the manufacturer of the Ford Edge Vehicle and they explained to me that they do not manufacture anything (very re-assuring). Today when I spoke to Ford, it has been useless. No real answers. They asked me to speak to the dealership. Danielle, the dealership service dept manager at Huntington Beach Ford Located at 18255 Beach Blvd was not very kind, explained to me that my car was not covered under 22n12 because the flex plate was not cracked. But the program terms state that a one time repair if needed to the flex plate, transmission fluid pump and torque converter would be covered. It appears that twice our vehicle make and model, built in Oakville, MI has had recalls to the torque converter in 2017 with the ford reference number 17S16 and again with the flex plate with 22n12 which is a part directly related to the torque converter. This appears to be a safety issue with this vehicle that nobody will address.
Rough start up with white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Then when on the highway around 70mph vehicle rapidly decreased in speed and would not accelerate. I was able to get the vehicle home and then it would not start again. Had it towed to a Ford Dealership where they stated that coolant was leaking into cylinder #2 and the engine would need to be replaced with an estimated cost of $8800 plus taxes. NHTSA needs to force Ford into a recall with all of the issues with the 2.0L Ecoboost engine.
Coolant leaking into cylinder. Engine running rough and overheating. Available for inspection upon request. Risk of engine failure/power loss while driving. Confirmed by mechanic. Vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or other. No warning of this issue. Engine light on for purge valve issue at present time. Upon conducting research, this is a well-known issue with this engine (2.0 liter Ecoboost). Thank you for any help you're able to provide as this is a very expensive engine replacement or a practically useless vehicle I still owe $7,000 on.

My car is leaking coolant and the head gasket is blown and this car up to date. From what I’ve read, this is a common occurrence amongst Ford Edge owners
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine overheated. The contact stated that the vehicle started misfiring. The contact then stated that there was white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The contact discovered that the coolant reservoir was empty after a recent fill up. The contact was an independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure as a misfire in cylinder #1 and coolant leaking into the engine cylinders. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to contact the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

The engine block was cracked at 62,355 miles (out of warranty) and had to be replaced. Upon further investigation, this is not an uncommon problem with this year/model of car.
I own a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving the check engine warning light illuminated also would miss when started. The vehicle was taken Mac Haik Ford in Pasadena, Texas, where it was diagnosed with coolant intrusion into the cylinder, and the engine needed to be replaced. The engine would cost over $8000.00, luckily I had purchased an extended warranty & it only cost me $100.00. This is a very common problems & Ford should be made to recall for this problem, since the engine cost $8000.00 Ford won`t do it unless made too.
The problem started off with the check engine light coming on and overheating. The Edge was swallowing antifreeze at a crazy rate. Then, while driving, the engine overheat warning came on and the power was decreased to zero forcing me to pull over. There was white smoke coming out and it had a terrible smell. I took my car to Pep Boys, and they said the Edge was misfiring on 2 cylinders. Their solution was to change the ignition coils. I got the Edge back and it was no better, and the check engine light came back on again and it would not start. I returned it to Pep Boys again, and this time they said the idle control valve was bad. They replaced it, and upon picking it up the check engine light came right back on again. I again returned it to Pep Boys, and this time they said I had dirty oil (even though I had a synthetic oil change 3 weeks prior), so they flushed out the engine oil and installed new spark plugs/tune-up. I picked the Edge up later that day, and again the check engine light came on. Having had enough of Pep Boys, I finally took my Edge back to my local Ford Dealership for service. They said that the entire engine needed to be replaced due to coolant leaking into 3 cylinders. The dealer said this is a well-documented problem with the 2017 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost engine. I only wish someone pointed this engine issue out when I bought it!
We were in the process of taking our vehicle in to be serviced and noticed that our engine light appeared. We were informed by the (Ford) dealer that a coolant leak occurred and our engine will need to be replaced. I am concerned because we typically follow the maintenance schedule. We are also concerned because we were informed that our extended warranty expired 4,000 miles prior. We opened case #CAS-44960379-N7Q8D9 with the Ford Motor Company to see if there were any open recalls on the issue. There were none. Further research identified an existing class-action lawsuit regarding our problem. We are taking steps to see if our dealer will honor our extended warranty anyway, but there is a chance they may not and may incur thousands of dollars to replace the engine. In doing so, we have no assurance that the problem may return.

The Ford dealer confirmed that the engine was cracked and leaking coolant into the cylinders. The engine light was on and the car would shudder and RPM's would drop. Before the dealer confirmed the problem I had the ignition coils replaced and all spark plugs replaced. Issue remained unresolved. At any time, the car could stop and I would be stranded. I found numerous incidents exactly like this online reported by Ford owners. The dealer was very familiar with the problem as was Ford Corp. when I called them. This is a manufacturer problem and they are not taking any responsibility!! There should be a recall on this issue. I have gone to great expense and inconvenience. Angry Ford customer.
Without warning, aside from the check engine light at the time of incident, 2017 Ford Edge suffered a catastrophic engine failure due to coolant intrusion at 70,164. Vehicle was taken to Junge Automotive Group (Ford Dealer) and deamed undrivable without complete engine replacement. Junge or Ford is in possession of the engine at this time. This is a known problem by both Junge and Ford Motor Company as well as an active problem based on internet results when searched.

My 2017 Ford Edge is experiencing loss of coolant with no sign of exterior leaks, over heating, the smell of gas in the reservoir, loss of power and rough idling as well. After plenty of research online and seeing the tsbs from the manufacturer this is definitely a problem. This vehicle is my only form of transportation, being that it has been a problem for many customers of ford it is absurd that this has not been recalled and fixed. We don't work hard every day, spend over 25k on a car for it to have a common problem amongst many of the same vehicle and same year, that is obviously a malfunction of the manufacturer.

Took the 2017 Ford Edge for regular service, oil change, etc. Noticed the engine light on the dash panel came on. Independent Mechanic informed me that there was a leak of coolant into Cyl #3 of the engine. Recommended that we take the car to a dealership as it has only 49,689 miles on it. Vehicle is running fine at the time, no smoke or loss of coolant. Drove to the dealership the same day and they confirmed that there has been a service bulletin issued on the vehicle's engine due to coolant leaking into the cylinders, causing engine failure. Waiting for dealership to have an open service bay to use to find the exact problem.
Service order: dated 08/07/23 Engine light on and and off several times Check codes: found p301 and p316 as well as coolant intrusion in cylinder #1 lost psi of pressure on the coolant system in 10 minutes. Needs long block Conclusion by tech: needs a new engine costing over $9000. The cost for computer test $240.00 This was after spending $661.97 for a fuel vapour Sep installed. Don’t know if needed or not.
Check Engine light came on and I scheduled an appointment at an independent repair shop. Before the appointment date, the engine gave an overheat warning. The system was low on coolant (filled about 3/4 of a gallon). A day before the appointment it overheated again and this time was able to fill another 1/4 gallon. Independent repair shop diagnosed and could not find any signs of exterior coolant leaks. The check engine light was due to cylinder misfiring, and the shop believes that the coolant is leaking into the cylinder and burning off as they witnessed white smoke from the tailpipe. They referenced Technical Services Bulletin #22-2229 as a known problem with the only fix as replacing the engine long block. Contacted Ford and they said that they wouldn't help me as my car is 9,000 miles over the warranty period. There is no way to tell when this issue will render the car inoperable and possibly strand my family somewhere or worse cause the system to shut down at freeway speeds.
Vehicle was idling rough and not able to accelerate. Vehicle was overheating consuming coolant. After 2 weeks a check engine light came on. Dealer inspected and found coolant intrusion on 2 cylinders. Design flaw known by Ford.
2017 Ford Edge- 60,443 miles.Engine-check engine light came on 3 separate times. Had inspected each time- result was the same- " misfire in cylinder 2" light would go off- car running as usual. Then while driving on the freeway apx 70 mph the warning lights came on that the engine was overheating. This was a very dangerous situation. Immediately took the next exit and pulled into gas station. Five minutes later was able to drive 10 minutes to my home with no incident. The next morning, could not even drive 5 minutes out of my neighborhood before it happened again except this time warnings also included that the car was going into power saving mode. Immediately turned around and took it back home. This problem has been both reproduced and confirmed by both a certified repair shop and a Ford Dealership who both determined that coolant is leaking into cylinder 2 causing the problem. Ford is aware of this and has issued multiple service bulletins regarding this situation but will not put a recall out for this. This is a serious problem.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated.

The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where the contact was informed that there was no coolant in the vehicle. The mechanic added coolant in the vehicle to determine whether coolant was leaking. The vehicle was not repaired and was returned to the contact. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving. The contact veered to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle for 5 minutes. The contact restarted the vehicle and drove to the nearest independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that coolant was leaking into the head gasket and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The contact related the failure to TSB Number: 22-2133. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 45,500.

The car overheated due to a known engine defect which allowed the coolant to leak into the engine block. The car now needs a whole new engine. This is what the Ford Dealer gave me. This service bulletin is dated June of 2022 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 22-2229 2.0L EcoBoost - Coolant In Cylinders, White Exhaust Smoke And/Or Illuminated MIL This bulletin supersedes 22-2133. Model: Ford 2015-2018 Edge
So the car has a code p0302 coolant is leaking in cylinder #2 which is causing the car to run rough and overheat because of coolant loss and from what I understand can eventually cause a engine fire I’ve taken it to a shop to find this out but it hasn’t been inspected by the manufacturer police or insurance representatives the check engine light has been intermittently coming on and going back off until one day it just stayed on
I bought the car in July 2022 with 62,000 miles for my daughter. The car now has 65,000 miles on it as she only drives back and forth to school. Check engine light came on a month ago then 2 weeks later it overheated with coolant light coming on. It took over a month to get in to the dealership to look at the car. Today they looked at it and told me the coolant had an leaked into the engine due to an engine defect so I would need a new long block engine that will cost about 8,000 to repair. Of course it’s not under warranty and even thigh Ford knows it’s an engine defect and fixed the issue in the replacement they will not cover the charges. They recalled the 1.6 engine but not the 2.0 so now I have to pay for a new engine for a car I just bought for 23,000 a year ago. I was also told even if they do a recall I may not be reimbursed for the cost of the new engine. I am absolutely appalled that a car with 65,000 miles requires a new engine, this is Ford design issue and they are not taking any responsibility. I see there is a class action lawsuit against them for this issue. We are a Ford family owning 3 of them but after this experience I am trading them all in and will never buy a Ford again. All they have to do is the right thing but instead they won’t do it. There is a service bulletin for this exact issue. The dealership is very kind but nothing they can do to help.
In June our 2017 Ford Edge's check engine light came on. We took it to our mechanic who told us it would need a new engine block due to leaking coolant, but that they don't do that. He told us there is a TSB out and advised us to take it to the dealership. We took it to West Hills Ford in Bremerton on July 15 and they confirmed it has the known defect and that it does need a new engine due to the coolant intrusion. For reference, my car has less than 30,000 miles on it, but it is past the 5 year mark that Ford will cover. West Hills Ford has had our car for 3 weeks without working on it because we are trying to get our extended warranty to help cover the cost of a new engine. We are lucky that we dropped it off when we did because we have read about this known issue causing smoke, and even the car catching on fire!
Check engine light appeared at approximately 59,000 miles. ( just out of warranty as iIwas over the 5 years (expired March 28 2023) but under the 60,000miles. Was able to get an appt at a local dealer at 59483 miles, they did not diagnose issue, as they needed more time, set up another appt 2 weeks later and was told a new engine is needed due to coolant leaking into the engine block. Was told this is a known issue and FORD has since redesigned. Estimated cost to repair of $7000, and first available appt is 12 weeks out I have been told that the car could just stop at some point. Have read on line that major concerns with driving it, if coolant is low, could cause an engine fire. Reached out to FORD Customer Care and after much prompting was told only provide 30-40% assistance. Mind you had this happened prior to March 28 it would have been covered , Great car until now. Do not buy a used 2017 Edge.
According to Ford dealership, the coolant has leaked in to the engine and Ford knows about thr problem. My car is out of warranty and thr only assistance for is offering is 40% of the 8000 to replace the parts.

1. The component that failed/malfunctioned was the engine, specific to the coolant spilling into cylinder 3 due to the known design flaw of the 2.0 Eco-boost engine. Is it available upon request for inspection. 2. Regarding safety, upon start, the engine was sputtering (misfiring) and would continue, intermittently throughout the drive. White smoke was emitted through both exhaust pipes. The coolant was running low consistently, would have to refill. 3. The problem has been confirmed at a local repair shop and it's currently at a dealership and has been confirmed to have the misfire/coolant issue. Diagnosis: New Motor/Engine - thousands of dollars! Unacceptable! 4. The vehicle has been inspected by mechanics (repair shop and certified Ford mechanic) 5. Yes. The check engine light came on, the code was P03003 (cylinder 3). This code first appeared on a trip, replaced ignition coil and spark plug, and still the issue persisted.
My 2017 Ford Edge has a 4 cylinder EcoBoost Engine. My vehicle warning light came on or about June 20, 2023. I took it to a local mechanic. He advised that it was low on engine coolant, so he refilled it and advised that this type of engine has a known problem with coolant leaks. I next took the vehicle to Sunbelt Ford in Sylvester, GA. The dealership advised that there was nothing wrong with my vehicle. On or about July 24, 2023 I started my vehicle and heavy smoke emitted from the engine and the exhaust. The check engine warning light also came on. I turned off the vehicle and had a local mechanic inspect it. The mechanic advised that I had experienced catastrophic engine failure, and was fortunate that I was not driving at the time. I soon found out that Ford is involved in numerous lawsuits and complaints regarding this exact issue with this exact engine. It’s wildly unethical and dangerous that Ford has not advised all owners of the known problems with this engine. Additionally, I’m 73 years old living on Social Security. It’s $6500 to replace my defective engine as quoted by Robert Hutson Ford in Moultrie, GA.
Vehicle vibration and not switching into next gear. Engine light flashes when this is happening. When not flashing engine light stays on.it is scary that it is going to quit in traffic.

My 2007 Ford Edge / 2.0 Ecoboost engine model (with only 69,000+ miles) had a distinct unsettling shake upon starting, and would occur occasionally during regular driving - causing Check Engine light to appear. Ford dealership inspected and verified that "coolant leaked into the 3rd cylinder - causing a crack in the engine - and only remedy is a total engine replacement." Obviously now an unsafe vehicle to drive. Upon my research / lengthy investigation, I found hundreds of similar failures with this model (to include 2015-2018 Ford Edges with 2.0 Ecoboost engine). Models with this engine version will eventually fail - usually around the 70,000 mile average landmark (which is ironically slightly out of from Ford's 60,000 warranty coverage - rendering this "not covered" by Ford) - and Ford has apparently known this for years. Ford's choices / options offered to me (and upon reading, hundreds of others) center on my being responsible for paying for the replacement - making me responsible for the cost (quoted price from the dealer was around $8200.00) on a vehicle with only 69,000+ miles on it - with a flawed engine design that Ford has been aware of. Was told (in similar if not exact terms) that they aren't responsible for the replacement cost because "There is no Recall on this", and "you are out of warranty" (but by less than 10,000 miles). Or another option is "you can trade it in" (for substantially below what it used to worth). In addition to my being responsible for the cost, the Edge is now worth less than what it was, as if I resell it, I'll need to disclose the problem - and engine replacement. In summary, this is not only unacceptable on the surface, but morally reprehensible. A recall on this (and other similar models), making Ford responsible to costs regarding this well known engine flaw is the right course of action not on for myself, but for the (at least) hundreds with the same problem - and thousands that will eventually have the problem. Thank you.

I took my 2017 Ford Edge to the Dave Arbogast Ford when my check engine light came on. The dealership stated I need a new engine because coolant was leaking into cylinder 2 causing the misfire which led to the check engine light. After doing some research this is a well known issue with 2015-2018 Ford Edges. A service announcement was put out by Ford https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10162071-0001.pdf on their website (posted June 26, 2019) yet this was never stated to me by the Dave Arbogast Ford dealership when I bought the card in July 2020. My safety and my children's safety has been put at risk due to this issue. This causes the car to potentially overheat and not be used.

The contact was able to restart the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to accelerator normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that prior to the failure, upon start up, a thick cloud of white smoke was coming from the exhaust pipe, and he smelled an abnormal odor. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was offered half the cost of the repair and informed that the vehicle was not covered under warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Coolant leak which is causing engine to overheat. This is a common problem with Fords but my VIN is not included. Has been confirmed by an independent service center. It’s a safety issue that could cause the vehicle to overheat and disable. I keep having to add coolant at times on side of road. I receive an engine coolant above temperature and a check engine light.
Check engine light came on and the code was saying cylinder 3 was misfiring. After numerous tests it was determined coolant was leaking into the cylinder from a crack in the block. Doing my own research I found this is a known issue for this make and model and year of car, however FORD has refused to recall it. There is a TSB about it but nothing else. I had to pay $10,000 for the shop to put in another engine. Two days after I got it back the check engine light came on again only this time it said cylinder 2 was misfiring. Took it back to the shop that put in the engine and it turns out this engine also had a crack in the block and was leaking coolant into the cylinders. I am now without a car again and have to wait for another engine to be put in. However there is no guarantee this one will not have the same issue come up.

The engine is faulty, it has a radiator leak into the cylinders. Causing misfire, overheating, or even engine combustion.
The 2017 Ford Edge is leaking coolant into the engine, and the dealership says that the only remedy is to replace the engine because it cannot be repaired but will need to be replaced. We bought this car brand new from the Ford dealership and did not expect to have a major repair cost so soon after the warranty ended. We have five more months to complete our car payments, and we also just purchased the Ford Maverick. This makes us feel uncertain about Ford. I also discovered that this problem has been known to Ford since 2010 and has not been corrected. We only took this car to the Ford dealership for service since we purchased it in 2017. This will cost us severl thousands to replace the engine. Warranty ended at 60 k and the vihecule is now at about 70k.
I purchased my Ford Edge about 4 years ago at approximately 25000 miles from Tom Ahl in Lima Ohio. It currently has 73989 miles. I have been faithful in my maintenance of the vehicle. I started having rough start that last only briefly and made an appointment with my mechanic. He said the code was cylinder 3 and changed the coil pack. This did not resolve the problem. He then changed the spark plugs. Still did not resolve the issue. I took it to the Ford dealership which determined there was coolant leaking into the cylinders and the engine needed replaced. After doing some research, I learned this is a very common problem with the 2017 Ford Edge Eco boost 2.0 engine. Ford has know about the problem since 2010 and corrected it in 2020. Engines have failed and caught on fire due to this issue. I feel an engine should last longer than 73989 miles and it is a defect in the way the engine was built and cooled. I am filing this complaint in hopes that a recall will be issued. The replacement is costing me over 8000 dollars. I don't want to turn off the code and dump on some one else and I also cant afford to just junk the vehicle. So I am hoping for a recall. Many people have had to deal with this and if Ford had made it known, I would have never purchased this vehicle.
Vehicle engine runs extremely rough and shakes the vehicle after starting the engine. White exhaust smoke is also observed and coolant levels are steadily dropping over time. A pungent unpleasant odor is present near the exhaust as well. Vehicle has been experiencing this issue since June 2022 and has progressively gotten worse. The check engine light was illuminated so a OBD-II code reader was utilized on July 2, 2022. The diagnostic codes P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0316, P1026, and P1285 were found. I have reason to believe that it is related to the issues related to the technical service bulletin (TSB) 22-2229. I am concerned about safety regarding this issue. My immediate concern falls on the poisonous gases produced when the engine is burning coolant putting the driver and others near the vehicle at risk. In addition, the vehicle is unreliable and the issue may cause other parts of the engine to fail. I believe this is a Ford design flaw and they should be held responsible. A certified Ford dealership in Colorado will be running diagnostic tests after it has been dropped off for an appointment scheduled on 7/10/2023 at 8:45am MST.
When starting the engine it would putter a bit before running smoothly. The engine light came on and I took it to Sunshine Ford in Newburgh, NY and they told me there is coolant in cylinder one of my engine and I need a new motor. They said there is a crack in the engine motor causing this. There is a technical service bulletin on this exact problem for this make and model. My car only has 85,000 miles on in. There should be a recall for this engine.
When starting my car the engine would putter for a bit before running smoothly. The engine light eventually came on and I took it to Sunshine Ford in Newburgh, NY. They told me there were two misfires when they hooked it up to the computer and they found coolant in cylinder one when they took the spark plug out. They told me I needed a whole new engine on my car with only 85,000 miles. I found out there is a technical service bulletin on this exact problem for my car and ford knows this is an issue. It should be a recall.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was jerking while depressing the accelerator pedal with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was initially taken to an independent mechanic where spark plug #3 and engine coil were replaced. The failure recurred and the same parts were replaced a second time. The contact then discovered that the coolant reservoir was empty. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer who discovered a coolant leak inside the engine causing engine failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

bought a 2017 ford edge 3 months later (2.0 engine) my car starts to overheat, white smoke. I Have it taken in to be looked at to get a bill for 8500 if i want it fixed. The car was also not safteyed. Ford has known issues with this just trying to bring awarness so many people having to go without a car for trusting ford and they are not fixing this issue with there 2.0 eco engines
As I approached 50,000 miles on my car, I started to notice the car rumbling when I turned it on. Increasingly, I also started to hear the sound of water rushing towards the front of the car upon starting the vehicle as well as occasionally when I would brake while driving. On a few occasions, it took me several attempts to start the vehicle, or I would need to hold the push to start button for a longer period of time to start the car. Shortly after reaching 50,000 miles, the check engine light came on. I brought it to my local mechanic who told me the problem was caused by a 3rd cylinder misfire, which could be due to a possible cracked gasket. He suggested that I bring it to the dealership where I purchased the car, and that they would be aware of the issue, as it is a known issue in the 2017 Ford Edge. After investigating the issue and running a test to confirm, a mechanic at the Ford dealership in Danbury, CT confirmed the issue was related to a cracked gasket that was leaking coolant into the engine. Coolant leaking into the engine is obviously a very serious issue as the lack of coolant can cause the engine to overheat, smoke, and can even result in an engine fire. Fortunately, this issue has not caused an accident, so the police, manufacturer, or insurance representatives have not inspected the vehicle yet to my knowledge. The car is available for inspection upon request at Colonial Ford in Danbury, CT and is currently awaiting a response from Ford Corporation. Unfortunately, the car's 5 year warranty expired in October 2022, nearly 10,000 miles short of the alternative warranty. A Google search reveals many people have had this issue with the 2017 Ford Edge. A recall should be issued to prevent serious injury and potentially death due to the faulty pieces that were used by the manufacturer to build this engine. I am trying to work with Ford to cover the cost of repairs, but so far they have been unwilling to help as the car is outside of the warranty period.
2017 Ford Edge SE, one owner vehicle, clean title, always maintained properly. The vehicle ran rough after startup and seemed to be lacking power during acceleration. A malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) did not display at that time. Recently, the vehicle has been running worse, blowing white exhaust smoke, especially after sitting overnight, and consuming coolant. The MIL finally displayed the morning of June 10th, 2023. The code is P0303. The vehicle has been diagnosed with a coolant intrusion issue on cylinder number three. A catastrophic failure of the engine, requiring removal and replacement of the long block which leaves the customer on the hook for thousands of dollars in parts and labor for a well know design flaw, which is apparent by the release of multiple technical service bulletins https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10162071-0001.pdf, https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10169807-0001.pdf, https://static.oemdtc.com/TSB/MC-10214126-0001.pdf, an updated engine design to replace the flawed engine https://fordauthority.com/2022/09/ford-2-0l-ecoboost-coolant-issue-and-fix-detailed-by-tech-video/, class action lawsuit https://www.fordecoboostlawsuit.com/, and countless forums and videos with affected customers.

The 2.0 Ecoboost engine of our 2017 Ford Edge overheated at @65K miles leaving my wife stranded and the vehicle in danger of catching fire. We first noticed a check engine light @60K with diagnostic code P0301 cylinder misfire detected, so I replaced spark plugs and check engine light went out. At @63K check engine light came back on so thinking it was a bad tank of gas I added a fuel treatment and again the check engine light went out. At @64K miles the check engine light once again comes on and before I could get it in to our Ford dealer to figure out what is going with the car my wife got message on dash engine was overheating. After towing it to Ford dealer for a diagnosis of the problem we found out it was due to a coolant intrusion between cylinders 1 and 2 which caused the engine to run out of coolant resulting in the engine to overheat. In 2017 Ford began producing the 2.0 Ecoboost engines with a new open deck block design with channels cut between the cylinders for engine coolant passage. Unfortunately, this new design was flawed because it does not provide adequate sealing area between the cylinders for a proper head gasket seal, which in turn, leaves the engine prone to coolant leakage into the cylinders causing premature engine failure. Ford is well aware of the faulty design and have since corrected it with a new engine block design which incorporates cross drilling the engine block for coolant passage instead of machining cuts through the area needed to provide a proper head gasket seal. Ford TSB 22-2229 addresses the the problem requiring the replacement of the faulty designed engine with a new long block assembly replacement manufactured in accordance to the new 2.0 engine manufacturing design specifications. This engine replacement procedure is very expensive at over $7000 especially when the customers 60K powertrain warranty has expired and Ford customer service will provide NO help assisting with the cost of fixing the problem.

1) Component failure is the engine block. I have 77K miles and have recently had my Check Engine light appear. After spending several hundred dollars to have sparkplugs and the Cylinder #2 tube replaced, the issue persisted. I then started to realize my coolant reservoir was very low, so I added coolant - but I noticed I was losing coolant on a daily basis, not only that, my engine, at start-up, was very, very rough with a lot of white smoke coming out of my exhaust. After doing some research, I then learned, that the problem is coolant intrusion into the #2 cylinder, which will require an entire engine replacement. Several times last week and this week I was driving and had my overheating warning flash on - my engine temperature gauge was in the red area as my engine was overheating due to loss of coolant. At one point, I thought I was going to blow-out my engine while going 65mph - it was frightening since I had my ten year old daughter with me. I got home and refilled the coolant immediately. A couple days later my engine overheated again taking my daughter to school. We only have one car, so this is incredibly nerve-racking, extremely stressful and very, very disappointing. 2) My and my family's safety is being compromised by what appears to be a known issue on 2017 Ford Edge cars. I have learned there is a TSB on this issue, but no recall. 3) The issue has not been confirmed by a technician. 4) My car has not been inspected by anyone other than the service technician who replaced my sparkplugs. 5) I had the Check Engine light appear for the last three weeks; since the first few days of May, 2023. Expenses: I have had to pay about $500 already, but I was told by two Ford dealers that the cost for an engine replacement was $8,000 and $10,000 respectively. Why should I have to pay for a known Ford issue of this magnitude? And why should I have to place my family's safety in jeopardy, we only have one car, every time we have to take the car to go somewhere?

This is a coolant intrusion in cylinder 2. My cylinder would misfire while driving at high speeds on the highway. Also, alarms of overheating of the engine would pop up. I took it to a Ford dealer and confirmed that it is a coolant intrusion and they tvwould try to charge $7,800.00 plus tax for a manufacture design defect.
Engine light came on at 73,000 miles and stated engine misfire cylinder 1. Took to Ford service. They had to put 1 gallon of coolant in and drove for about a week. Still having issues and finally told about TSB 22-2229 and that a new engine would be needed. This is a known factory defect and the customer should not have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket to replace an engine with low miles! Engine has not been replaced.
Most likely due to manufacturing defect or other issue related to, coolant is mixing into the engine cylinder causing a cylinder misfire. My vehicle is outside of the original manufacturer's warranty by about a year and now needs a new engine due to this defect. At 68,363 miles, there should not be a need for a new $6,000 plus tax engine with zero accountability or apology from Ford. This should have been a recall plain and simple and all costs associated with resolving this issue should be responsibility of the manufacturer. In June 2019, Ford issued a technical service bulletin of this known issue outlining the affected vehicles with a 2.0L EcoBoost engines, but did not communicate with affected owners or issue a recall to have this problem addressed nor do they offer a courtesy extension to the manufacturer's warranty for owners. While my family was lucky that we encountered this issue while we are in our home city, and not on the road driving to visit family in another state, it is not a stretch of the imagination that this could result in serious injury to unsuspecting, affected Ford vehicle owners. There is no repair invoice at the moment as my vehicle is currently still at the dealership awaiting parts.
My check engine light came on. The code was P0304. I had the spark plug and ignition coil replaced, but the check engine light came back on. The vehicle began to overheat. A technician was able to find that the coolant was leaking into the engine. I've taken it to a Ford dealership who confirmed this and has told me I need a new long block. The cost of this repair is over $9500. Upon researching this problem, it has been WELL documented since 2010 to be an issue with this engine, and NHTSA even issued a service bulletin about this issue with this year/make/model as of December 2019. The issue does not begin to happen until after the warranty period has passed, and the vehicle can catch fire with this defect. Knowing this issue exists, this engine needs to be recalled so that people do not need to worry about their vehicles overheating and catching fire! The responsibility of cost should not shift just because the issue does not present itself until a vehicle hits a higher mileage, which still is not that high.

My 2017 ford edge check engine light came on with an error code P0302 cylinder 2 misfire. I took it to a local mechanic who replaced the spark plugs and engine coils. Within 3 days the check engine light returned along with engine running rough. The mechanic discovered the same error code and decided the new engine coils were defective. 3 days later the same issue occurred. I have had my engine coils replaced 3 times. Today the mechanic completed a pressure test to discover that coolant is leaking into my engine and advised contacting ford as there has been a technical service bulletin by ford. I have now discovered this is a common issue with fords motor in the edge model and continuing to drive this vehicle will put myself and children in danger as there is a risk of engine fire.
About the car in January of 2022. I was told By more than one ford motor company service employee that ford motor company only installs new engines when an engine fails and has to be replaced. In a nine month period the car has had four new engines and two turbos. I learned after it needed the 2nd asylum. At the dealership who installed the 1st engine put a junk yard motor in it claiming it was new from Ford motor company. The parts numbers that are on the receipt are in fact ford motor company parts numbers. When the motor was taken out for the 2nd engine to be put in it I saw it with the service manager it had rushed all over it and a. Two thousand fourteen stamp on the back of it. They refuse to even acknowledge this and do anything about it. Meanwhile in one year I have over $40000 in cost for toes hotels and rental expense that they refuse to acknowledge. I have had the car maybe 4 months out of the past 15 because of its continued breakdowns and engine replacement requirements. All of these issues started. Less than twenty four hours after purchasing and receiving my vehicle. This is a very shortened version and detail of my. Experience with the Ford Edge I bought 2017 model in January of 2022. I have plenty more documentation pictures. Emails et cetera. Regarding. Nightmare of A. Vehicle and each? Breakdown That has happened time and time again. Car is back at a dealership now awaiting its 4th engine and God. Knows what else Ford. Needs? To. Recall this ego boost. Motor and make it right for all the customers that have lost so much money and had so much. Frustration with something they thought and were told would be a reliable safe car for their family period. In total I have over seventy five thousand dollars in a two thousand seventeen ford edge that I have owned and paid off all inside of the past year. This vehicle has put me in so much debt that my credit is now ruined. I have put just as much money in rental cars as I did. Pay for this vehicle and it
We took our vehicle in due to a check engine light and rough start and idle. Upon inspection -Code #P0303 (Cal 3 Misfire) The technician noted no coolant in reservoir and no external leaks were noted. They said we need a new engine because of that internal coolant leak and referred us to the manufacture to in hopes of replacing the engine.- My safety and the safety of my family was put at risk because the engine for one could have actually caught fire or stalled while driving. - Yes the problem has been reproduced and confirmed by a dealer. - No, the vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance. - No, warning lamps did not originally turn on. It came at a much later time after the problem had been going on for a while.
Approximately one month ago I noticed that my engine began running roughly upon a cold start. The engine was misfiring and running rough until the vehicle warmed up. Shortly afterwards, the Check Engine light came on. I took my vehicle to the original Ford Dealer for service. The Service Consultant contacted within a day with the following information: - Identified the Check Engine light as an Engine Misfire in cylinder X (I don’t recall) - Misfire was caused by coolant intrusion. I immediately asked if it was a head gasket. He said no, and proceeded to tell me: -Coolant is leaking into cylinder -There is a crack in the engine block between coolant passage and cylinder X - They have seen this in the past, and apparently is a known issue, and Ford has since fixed the design of this engine (EcoBoost 2.0L). - The extended warranty company denied the claim as their claim was that the "Engine Block" failure was NOT caused by the failure of an internally lubricated part. I have found the following information regarding this engine flaw: - There is a class-action lawsuit Reed et al. v. Ford Motor Company - 1:20-cv-01631 against Ford specifically about this problem. - Ford has issued a TSB (# 22-2229) outlining the issue, troubleshooting, and repair process. - This flaw can cause engine cooling issues, engine overheating, engine fire, catastrophic engine failure. - The fix to this problem is an Engine Long Block replacement. - There have been issues with other EcoBoost engines, and Ford has even issued a CSP to replace 1.5L EcoBoost engines on Ford Escapes. My confidence in vehicle reliability is non-existant at this point, and my main concern is that an engine failure will strand me or my family, or result in an engine fire.
Very well known problem with the 2.0 echoboost engines coolant leaks causing cracks in the cylinders and engine failure. Could go up in flames and caused a staul when accelerating before diagnosis. Ford refuses to repair or recall and thousands are suffering because of this engine faulty design.
A check engine light came on in our 2017 Ford Edge 2.0L engine and the engine would shake when turning the car on. After taking it to the dealership, the car had two codes that came up: 0316 and 0302. After inspecting the car further, the diagnosis was that it was a blown head gasket. The car has 34,000 miles, and this issue should not happen this early. After some research, we learned that Ford Edge with our 2.0L engine, years 2016-2018, keep having this engine issue. Our understanding is this is a known issue due to the block design and the head gasket seal not being sized large enough. This problem was reproduced by the dealership and the recommendation is to replace the entire engine with a new 2.0L produced after 2018 when Ford redesigned the engine addressing the problem. The online community is complaining of having to deal with very high repair costs of this issue (needing to replace the whole engine), but Ford has not addressed it with the many owners or issued a recall.
The engine light came on to warn me of an engine problem. Come to find out there is a Technical Service Bulletin on this issue for many Fords. This has been confirmed by Ford dealer service center and Ford customer service. This first appeared about a month ago in my car. However, Ford refuses to help and is making people buy new engines. This should be a RECALL. It is terrible that Ford is not being forced to recall all vehicles with this potential problem and cover the costs for repair. They are reponsible for this safety issue.
When using the remote start feature the cabin smells like exhaust. This smell can be smelled coming through the vents into the car.
My engine has coolant intrusion, which makes the car more at risk for engine failure or can start on fire and the only way to fix is a whole new engine replacement. This vehicle only has 56,800 miles and ford isn’t willing to replace engine because it’s met its 5 year warranty period but has not meet the 60,000 warranty period. I use this vehicle to travel with my family and just thinking it could start on fire any time do to an engineer flaw is ridiculous. This vehicle poses safety concerns for many families and I hope you guys hold the manufacturer responsible for these issues.
The vehicle began making water sloshing sounds behind the dashboard and the check engine light came on. Upon inspection the mechanic found the car was very low on coolant. They had to add nearly 1 gallon back. The check engine light code was due to a cylinder misfire on start up. Ford has a bulletin 22-2229 detailing their knowledge of this exact issue. The dealership confirmed this is the issue this vehicle is experiencing. Had I continued to use the vehicle under these conditions, my engine could have experienced failure while driving. This could cause a serious accident putting the safety of passengers, pedestrians and other drivers at risk. While Ford acknowledges the existence of this issue, they have not made customers aware. This is Ford's description of this known issue- "Some 2015-2018 Edge and 2017-2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape/MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a low coolant level, white exhaust smoke and/or a runs rough condition with or without an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may include P0300, P0301-P0304, P0316, P0217, P1285 and/or P1299 stored in powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the long block engine assembly."
We were driving down the road and the check engine light came on so we took it in and they said the #2 cylinder was miss firing. So they changed the plug and coil on #2. The check engine light went away until the next day when we drove it. So we took it back and they checked it again and it was the same issue. But after further checking they found that the #2 cylinder has coolant leaking into it causing the misfiring and engine using coolant. So after all of that they said I needed a new engine. It will cost me $7600 to replace it if I wanted to keep using my car. I did not have any other choice other than to have it fixed. I don’t have the money to buy a new car so that’s all we could do. We just got the car back and after 2 days it seems to be fixed. It’s totally nuts that Ford will not pay anything towards fixing it. Also the guy at the dealership told me when I picked it up to drive for 3 years and then get rid of it because I have unlimited mileage warranty for that time. I have 76000 miles on the car when this happened and never in my years seen this on any car I have owned its totally rediculous that Ford will not HELP!!!!!!!
The motor started to overheat with no warning. Was in heavy traffic and had trouble getting out of the way. Took it to 2 different mechanics, one was a ford mechanic. They both said the same thing, its leaking coolant into one of the cylinders and that I need to replace the engine. There wasn't any kind of sign or warning that the motor was going to fail or mess up. Ford refuses to fix the problem and or help in some way to make it right. Ford knows about the 2.0 eco boost engine issues!!!!!
The 2.0 ecoboost engine failed in my 2017 Ford Edge Titanium when coolant began pouring into the number two cylinder. I had a warranty on it so it is currently being replaced with a remanufactured engine since this is a common issue with this particular engine. I felt unsafe driving it because it was unclear when or if it would overheat and stall me on the side of the road. The vehicle is currently at an independent service center where it has sat for over three weeks while they worked with the warranty company on a replacement plan. There was an inspection done at the service center. The check engine light came on a short while after I purchased it, at less than 500 miles of being driven by me. The code was "Misfire in cylinder 2", which was caused by the coolant flooding the cylinder. This is a common issue with this particular engine from what I have read online since purchasing it and Ford should do the responsible thing and recall them all before someone is injured from it overheating.
The engine light came on. I took it to the Ford dealership and they stated there was a misfire in piston #3 which was because coolant was leaking into the engine. The only way to repair would to replace the engine. The vehicle is available for inspection at any time. My safety and the safety of my children are put at risk because the engine should stop at anytime causing potential danger while driving. The Greenwood Ford dealership has confirmed and diagnosed the issue. No one other than the dealership and an independent service center has inspected the vehicle. The engine light came on causing me to take the vehicle in. The dealership stated that this is a known issue for my vehicle type with this exact engine.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, and the engine coils and the radiator were replaced however, the failure continued. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic and the head gasket was replaced but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic and the contact was informed that cylinder #2 had a crack and that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 70,000.

Coolant is leaking into cylinder 2 and the ford shop I dropped it off at today is currently running diagnostic. IT'S going to be the same issue that 1000s if not 100,000s of owners with the 2.0 ecoboost have; a replacement engine that Ford forces owners to cover the replacement engine themselves. My wife has had the car since about Aug 2022, still owes $23000 and now we have to figure out how to pay for engine.
car would not accelerate on highway almost causing a major collision. found out that coolant is leaking into gasket causing a misfire. resulting in engine failure. i have an ecoboost model engine. ford will not honor replacing these engines.
Around 50,000 miles my edge broke down, following warranty protocol I took to dealership and found out fluids were leaking into my motor. Had to replace engine, coil pack and cylinders. Less than a month later the engine light came back on and took it to a ford mechanic. The warranty approved motor was having the same issues as motor replaced. I needed another engine. Only somehow less than 2,000 miles and I wasn’t covered anymore through warranty. I had to find another motor and pay out of pocket for it to be replaced.
2017 Ford Edge 2.0L Ecoboost Engine Block: Very rough sputtering/misfire detected once I started driving, a Flashing check engine light appeared, P-0303 code (Cylinder 3 Misfire), White smoke, Engine coolant leaking into Cylinder 3 causing a misfire. After starting the car and driving it a very short distance, the engine started sputtering and misfiring really bad. Check engine light came on and was flashing. Went back home to check the code which was a P-0303 = Cylinder3 misfire. Apparently, there is a design flaw in these engines and a Ford TSB-22-2229 has been issued for the problem. New engine block replacement is the only fix.
There is a coolant leak into my engine cylinders that has completely ruined my engine. They told me they’re surprised my engine hasn’t caught fire. They refuse to cover it even though the issue falls under TSB 22-2229 but they say the VIN doesn’t. There’s many lawsuits against them because it’s an issue with the Ford engine 2.0-liter turbo-four ecoboost engine. It’s happen to many people without warning. I luckily caught it before my engine blew. If you look up the TSB online there are many lawsuits against Ford right now and they still refuse to put out a recall and the new engine costs $9,000. It’s a safety concern because there’s no warning and the engine has potential to catch fire or blow. I read online that if your car has this engine that it is only a matter of time before this happens. Ford tried to blame the issue on me and tell me that I didn’t keep up with maintenance and they completely didn’t tell me about the TSB for the car. I had to go back and read my report to find the TSB. They tried to trick me into buying a new engine even thought this is a faulty engine that they manufactured. I have kept up with maintenance and my car only has 56,000 miles on it and my warranty just expired. No way your engine just blows on a 56,000 mile car. I worry for the safety of others driving this car and many other Fords that have the same engine. A contact that we know at Ford is trying to help us out and cover some of the costs but they refuse to admit that it is a faulty engine that they manufactured. This and many other Fords with this engine are a liability and safety hazard to drive. Ford needs to be held accountable for their engine but instead they’re making people like me pay out of pocket $9,000 that I can’t afford.
I HAVE A 2017 FORD EDGE AND I BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALER IN JACKSONVILLE, FL. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 5 MONTHS, AT THE 3RD MONTH THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE, ENGINE LIKE CAME ON. GAME ME THE MISS FIRE ON CYLINDERS #2 AND #4, TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN SANFORD, FL. BEFORE THAT, I CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC WAS FOUND TO HAVE "COOLANT INTRUSION ON CYLINDER #2, AND WAS TOLD THAT FORD WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR ON THE ENGINE, BUT THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE FORD HAD CHANGED THE DESIGN ON THE ENGINE AND GASKETS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT A TSB, AS I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND THEY ALL HAVE CONTACTED FORD WITH THE SAME RESULTS, SO FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO TRADE IN THE CAR ASAP. I NEED HELP. THANK YOU
Car almost overheated. Had to pull over to shoulder of an extremely busy highway. NO coolant. Had to have someone come out to refill. Since than I constantly have to refill and there is no apparent leak. Coolant is now leaking into engine. In constant fear of car overheating. Confirmed today when I took to Ford to diagnose the issue.
Check engine came on took it to our mechanic, he changed sensor and put new spark plugs in. Then called us and said that coolant was leaking into the cylinders and we would have to replace engine. It just came off 2 months ago extended warranty has only 71,455 on truck. Ford has know about the problem and done nothing for owners. The sent out service bulletin on this problem TSB-22-2229. Feel they should replace engine due to a known issue that effect the eco boost engines
Since November I am smelling antifreeze and exhaust in the cabin of the car. It was so bad it would burn my eyes- we had to ride with windows open, in the winter in the NE. Took to Ford the found a TPI on the exhaust odors but have to go through “steps” to find it. While I pay a deductible for them to find this. Ford is aware of exhaust odors but has not issued a recall yet for this.
#3 cylinder is cracked due to coolant in cylinder see 22-2229 bulletin this is a know issue with Ford for 2015 a 2018 Edge. No low coolant light ever come on but the check engine light did come on I had a mechanic look at it as a favor warranty is out will cost approximately $7000.00 to correct issue change long block. This should be on a recall list. 91067.5 miles and car is paid off.
While driving the vehicle on a major roadway in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, my vehicle suddenly stopped! It would not move forward or backwards. This was a definite safety issue and fortunately, the only cars around me were in the left and right lanes. I was in the middle lane and fortunately there was not a car directly behind me, or it would have run right into me. My vehicle went from travelling at 60 miles per hour to a complete standstill. My car is currently in Monroeville Ford right now for the same problem. This is after having the transmission replaced twice and having the engine replaced. The thing that is alarming is that was a safety issue and I, along with others could have been killed. It was only by the grace of God that other vehicles weren't behind me when my vehicle suddenly stopped.
On 08/17/22 I took my car into Bill Collins because there was a loss of coolant, and my SUV was acting up. It was jerking randomly. At the time the SUV was noted to have 63,860 miles. Dealership fixed recalls on vehicle and did a pressure test and said there was a water pump leak. Replaced water pump and gasket. Check engine light remained on and when asked dealership about it they said in order to get the check engine light off it would have to go to another part of the dealership, and we would be charged another $99 diagnostic fee. On 11/21/22 SUV was taken back to Bill Collins because it was still doing the same thing. This time you could also hear water moving/draining from behind the dash and the check engine light was still on. Dealership fixed another recall showing on vehicle and said that the water pump had air pocket. Sent home but sputtering engine was not fixed. 12/08/22 contacted dealership again to let them know that nothing they have done over the past several months has worked and SUV is still acting up. Was told they would have a higher up mechanic look at vehicle to see what the issue was. Dealership contacted us two days later stating that vehicle needs a new motor. Current mileage 67,883. Dealership stated they verified coolant intrusion into cylinder and that it is necessary to replace the long block. Exact verbiage from dealership employee. (Coolant intrusion into cylinder #2. Verified defective engine block. Coolant leaking internally.) My SUV has been in and out of Bill Collins Ford for the past 4 months and no one could figure out the problem. Yet, when we spoke to Bill Collins about the new motor, we were told at that time that this is a known issue. Yet, no one mentioned it for 4 months and I've been driving my vehicle in this condition? I work for Ford and have supported Ford for the past 7 years. I am wanting to understand how Ford is going to make this right.

We took our vehicle in due to a check engine light and rough start and idle. Upon inspection -Code #P0303 (Cal 3 Misfire) The technician noted no coolant in reservoir and no external leaks were noted. They said we need a new engine because of that internal coolant leak and referred us to the manufacture to in hopes of replacing the engine. I am going to call Ford ASAP, however there are no current recalls for this issue and will most likely have to pay out of pocket for a new engine. - The engine has an internal coolant leak, yes it is available for inspection upon request. - Our Safety is at risk because this can lead to engine stalls or fire without notice. - Yes, the problem can be reproduced and has been confirmed by an independent service. - No the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer yet, but I am beginning that process now. - The check engine light came on once but is no longer on despite the problem not being fixed.
The vehicle was taken to the Ford dealer in September 2022 because it was losing coolant and check engine light was on intermittently. The dealer said the engine needed to be replaced due to coolant intrusion into the engine block casting. Ford has been aware of this engine problem for a number of years. The engine can fail while being driven and there is a risk of engine fire posing a safety risk. The vehicle is available for inspection.
My check engine light came on back in September. I had to have the coolant flushed and have my purge valve replaced. On November 8, I took my car into the dealership as a check engine light was on again. Supposedly there was an engine coolant intrusion on cylinder tail. A new engine has been suggested. This is a known issue with Ford.

Own a 2017 Ford Edge 2.0L Ecoboost engine with 68,000 miles. Check engine light came on so took it to a local mechanic who replaced the spark plugs, coils, evap sensors, and cam shaft position sensor. The code was stating a misfire in the #2 cylinder. Less than a week later the light came back on and got an engine overheating warning. Added coolant and then had to add more coolant a few days later with no evidence of a coolant leak. When starting the vehicle or accelerate from a stop would notice a liquid swooshing sound. Also when starting the vehicle it would tremble and run ruff for a minute or two. There would be a lot of white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe with a bad oder that would eventually dissipate after diving a few miles. Finally drove the car to work and when I went to leave afterwards the vehicle would not start. Would crank but would never turn over. Had the car towed to a Ford dealer that diagnosed coolant leaking into the number 2 cylinder. They told me the only fix was to replace the engine. They gave me Fords number and told me to call and complain since I only had 68,000 miles on it. They gave me a copy of Fords response which states, “As a subsequent with no recent new vehicle or paid repair history, the customer generates a 0% share recommendation, meaning they do not meet the CLV requirements for the FLP assistance. Ford Motor Company is unable provide financial assistance in this case”. Called Ford and was told that there was nothing they could do since I was 8,000 miles over warranty and refused to offer any discounts or assistance. Asked to speak to the warranty department that made the decision not to cover and was informed there was no extension for that department so I can not speak to anyone that made the decision not to cover any of the costs. Was quoted from the dealer the cost for the repairs will be $7,710.81 plus taxes. This is a major safety issue as the defect can cause the engine to overheat and start on fire.
This issue is related to TSB22-2229. This is a known issues where the engine coolant is leaking into cylinder 2 which when occurs leads to replacing the engine. This issue has lead to an extension of the warranty on other Ford models, but not the Edge.

We currently have a 2017 Ford Edge with an Ecoboost 2.0 engine at our local Ford dealership. It began running poorly and the check engine light came on. Shortly after, it worsened with a whistling noise and more obvious cylinder misfiring. The codes for the engine light were P0303 and P0316, and was diagnosed with coolant in the cylinder. Per the service department at the dealership, this falls under Technical Service Bulletin 19-2346, with the only repair being complete engine replacement. At the time of this submission, it has been at the dealership for 12 weeks. We currently have no ETA on backordered parts to complete the repair, and will owe $4,300 for the repair when completed (originally over $11,000 quote). I would also like to reference Ford's Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP) #21N12. This CSP offers free repair to many Ecoboost 1.5L engines that have had the identical diagnosis. The associated TSB for this is 22-2134, which aside from different sized engines, is identical to the TSB associated with our vehicle.
I have a 2017 Ford Edge with 37,383 miles on it. The check engine light came on one day as I was driving however the car was running fine. I thought it was a fault light as I’ve never had an issue with this veh. I took it in to the dealership and was told that it needed a new engine. Luckily it was covered under warranty HOWEVER it took 3 months to get my veh. back….3 weeks later the same thing happened on my 2018 Ford Escape with only 24,000 miles on it!
Check engine light came, I took it to get a diagnostic. The diagnostic read a cylinder 1 misfire a day later it began to run hot, I checked the coolant which was almost empty but I did not see anything leaking. White smoke began to come out of the tailpipe and engine began knocking, When I tried to start the car the next day to take it into get checked out the vehicle would not start, I had to get the vehicle towed and when the mechanic looked at it I was told the engine needed to be replaced.
Morning of 7/30/22 "check engine" light came on. Drove vehicle home (38 miles), brought into dealership 8/4/22. They informed me after running diagnostics that I needed a new engine at 67,223 miles. I brought vehicle back on 8/29/22 to have the engine replaced (it had been on backorder). Finally completed on 9/9/22 at the cost of $6,838.78.
At 84,000 miles, the vehicle displayed the Service Engine Soon light, as well as white smoke from both exhausts. The mechanic diagnosed a misfire in two cylinders. All four spark plugs were replaced. The engine light and error code for cylinder 2 persisted. The ignition coil and fuel injector for cylinder 2 were replaced. The owner researched online, found the NHTSA complaints about this engine issue and the associated technical service bulletins, and brought the vehicle to the dealership. It was determined that this was a mechanical failure not uncommon with the 2.0L Ecoboost in this vehicle, and a replacement of the longblock was required. Despite awareness and acknowledgement of the malfunctions in the Ecoboost, Ford declined any discounts or assistance to the owner for replacement of this defunct product, costing the owner $7,252.10 in parts, labor, and tax to replace the longblock.

I started experiencing a rough idle and engine misfire. The check engine codes indicated cylinder 3 misfire. Was advised several times to replace spark plugs and coils but after no success had further diagnostics that showed crack in cylinder 3 allowing coolant to leak into the engine. Required new engine at 96k miles.
The engine light came on my 2017 2.0L Ford Edge, I took it to the dealership and after a short diagnosis it was determined that my vehicle's engine needed to be replaced due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. The vehicle mileage was 77850 and I was just under two months out of the 5 year 60K warranty. Ford Motor Company has been aware of this problem, they generated and sent out to the dealerships a Technical Service Bulletin #22-2229. I as the consumer was never made aware of this possible issue by Ford Motor Company. Ford Motor Company has refused to take full monetary responsibility for this defect,

Check engine light came on repeatedly, and final determination was the head gasket was leaking coolant into cylinders. Result, engine need to be replaced. Vehicle is a 2017 Ford Edge, 54M miles, but less than one month out of 5 year drivetrain warranty. Research shows that Ford has been aware of the problem for at least 3 years (NHTSA ID 10162071 and Ford TSB 19-2208 and TSB 19-2346). A head gasket should last for 200M miles. I found a website where at least 60 other owners are experiencing this problem, and for the most part, Ford is hiding behind the "expired warranty" excuse. Correction for this problem approaches $9000. My car now sits at a Ford dealer awaiting a replacement engine. The dealer is unable to give me any idea as to when I will get my car back. Ford has really dropped the ball on this, and I hope you can step in and get their attention.

I have a 2017 Ford Edge that at 64,930 miles (4,930 miles over warranty, but within warranty period by 2 months) the Check Engine Light came on in April, 2022 and computer diagnostic testing showed misfiring in a cylinder. All coils & plugs were replaced at a cost of over $700. Within days light reappeared, with engine running rough and again testing showed another misfire in a single cylinder. That coil was again replaced but check engine light again came on. At this point all coils were replaced with Motorcraft coils. Again light came on with more rough engine running. This went on for multiple times until repair shop suggested I call Ford. Over the phone the Ford Service Advisor diagnosed the issue as coolant contamination into the cylinders (evidently they've seen it before). I brought vehicle to a Ford Service Center and their diagnostic testing confirmed what the service advisor said and that I would need to replace engine at a cost of over $8000. This for an engine that wasn't even 5 years old and had less than 65,000 miles and had been properly maintained. An on-line check of carcomplaints.com shows this is not an isolated problem with the 2.0l Eco-Boost engine. I believe the rough running & coolant into the cylinders can lead to the engine stalling and engine overheating, both creating safety issues on the road. I know Ford has issued at least 7 Technician Service Bulletins pertaining to this issue since 2018, the most recent dated 6/10/22, all recommending long block engine replacement. That tells me that multiple engines, most with 60,000 to 70,00 miles with the same issue is a manufacturers defect and a recall should be in order. As I write this the Ford Service Center is waiting for a replacement engine to be delivered for installation into my vehicle During the MLB All-Star game, Ford ran multiple commercials stressing Ford Pride. A 5 year old engine with 64,930 miles needing to be replaced is nothing to be proud of.
Engine would rattle on startup. Check engine code came on dash. It revealed cylinder 2 misfire. Local mechanic replaced coil pack on 2 and all spark plugs on 5-30-22. Problem persisted and took it to Ford dealership on 7-29-22. Tech indicated gasket was warped on engine head and coolant was leaking into cylinder 2 which he showed me from a photograph from scoping cylinder 2. He informed my coolant was low. He quoted me a new engine as he stated that was the only solution by Ford. He added coolant to the fill line. He indicated it would only get worse over time and overheat. Coolant system was pressure tested and would not hold. I am concerned for my safety driving it as the coolant needs checked regularly or it may overheat which could pose a fire hazard.
Noticed the coolant was leaking and was not able to find visually. Took the vehicle to Ford Dealership on 7/19/22 and they said we need to replace the whole engine as Coolant is leaking into the Engine. This was a manufacture defect. There is already a recall for the same issue on the 1.5 engines, this is a 2.0 engine. The engine light had come on and stated the engine needed coolant. I was getting an oil change and they topped it off. The next day, the coolant was gone. I continued to refill and it kept disappearing, thus the reason for taking the vehicle to Ford. This was over a span of 4 days prior 7/15/2022. We asked for financial assistance to replace the engine and Ford refused. They said to pay the $7000 and if a recall was announced, we would get a refund. We don't have $7000 just sitting around, I am still paying on the vehicle with only 80,000 miles on it. We call on 7/29/2022 and they (ford) tells us to bring the vehicle back to the dealership on Monday and they will discuss help fixing the engine. We do this Monday 8/1/2022 and the supervisor we waited 2 hours on hold for, laughed throughout the conversation and even used the phrase "I know what its like to be poor" - completely unprofessional. Ford should back their product and fix any issues on engine because of faulty production.
Engine coolant getting into cylinders with symptoms of coolant loss, white exhaust smoke, rough running engine, and engine light on. This leads to rapid loss of coolant. I need to refill the coolant at the end of each day of driving, creating a potential further engine damage and risk of fire. A Ford dealership inspected the vehicle and determined these facts to be the case. The repair they deemed necessary is a new long block -- on my vehicle of only 45,000 miles -- at a price of $8,500.
MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON -7/10/2022. TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE BECAUSE IT WAS THE WEEKEND AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM SO I COULD HAVE CAR BACK FOR THE MONDAY MORNING. I DROVE IT TO WORK FOR EXACLTY A WEEK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON-7/17/2022. TOOK IT BACK TO FIRESTONE AND HE PUT IT BACK ON THE DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM. HE LOOKED IT UP ON FORD.COM AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE LONG BLOCK AND PRINTED IT OUT THE REPORT FOR ME. I HAVE AN APPOINMENT FOR AUGUST 2 TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY DAY CAN GET ME IN.
(EcoBoost Engine) I took my Ford Edge to Art Hill Ford in Merrillville, Indiana because of coolant lost, overheating, engine sputtering and check engine light. The truck was diagnosed with coolant entering the number 3 cylinder. Cost to repair $5,725.00. The truck needs an engine. I was told by a service adviser that this is a problem that is common and known by ford. That Ford had previously help some of their customers with the cost to repair this problem. I was given a service number to call. I called the number and was told that ford would not help in any way with this problem. Doing research this is an ongoing problem with the head gaskets for this engine. Known by ford for years. This problem causing loss of engine power or failure, overheating, and or fire.

The engine in our 2017 Ford Edge leaks coolant into the cylinders, causing misfire and posing a fire hazard. We took our vehicle into the shop due to a check engine light and low coolant warning that came on randomly and were informed we needed a new engine. The check engine light never blinked to alert us of the misfiring cylinder. The mechanic noted that cylinder 1 was "full of coolant." The service advisor cited a technical service bulletin 22-2224 that detailed the defect of the engine on several models of vehicles across several years. There is no recall on the defect. The service advisor stated that Ford has been aware of the issue for years and redesigned the engine as a result. We were never notified about the potential issue.

Fluid intrusion into the Ford 2017 Edge engine when coolant leaks into the cylinders, it can leads to corrosion, misfires, engine failure, and fires. I just had a fluid intrusion into my engine and the dealership told me it was safe to drive. I was have near stalling of my car and my check engine light was on. My Edge has now been at the dealership for almost 4 weeks waiting for an engine replacement.
The car was burning antifreeze. So we tore the engine apart thinking it was a head gasket and found the cylinder the antifreeze was going into was also cracked. I think that is why Ford is making people to pay for a new engine. For the antifreeze go into the cylinder that have the Cleveland engine. And they don't what to pay for the defect in the engine.

The check engine light came on so I took it to do a diagnostic test and it said that it was a miss fire and the description came back that the spark plugs and coils needed to be replaced. Was able to replace them and the check engine light turned off. While sitting in a drive through with my 3 children in the car, the warning lights came on notifying that the engine was over heating. Went straight to a mechanic and they said that I had zero coolant in the car. They added coolant and I went about the day. 3 weeks later I turned on the car and after 10 minutes the warning lights came on that it was over heating again. Was able to get home and looked under the hood and the coolant was totally gone again.
My truck is only 5 years with 54,500 miles and the engine light came on. Code 302 came up. I spent 400 to change the spark plugs and the ignition coil #2. Light went off and came back on. Next the dealership said the Coolant is leaking into the cylinders and I would need a new engine. $10,000. Contact Ford because we can't help you. My warranty just ended 45 days ago. Now What!
2.0L ecotec engine code 420 made in Cleveland, Ohio. Coolant intrusion into the cylinders can cause engine to overheat or run rough and shut off at highway speeds causing an accident. Ford is well aware of this issue and the fix is to replace the engine at the cost of the consumer. Estimates are upwards of $8,000 for the repair to be done.

I have on my car for about a year now and when I first received it about a month into it I noticed this first issue. I would be driving and all the sudden I would loose acceleration. All dash lights that could come on did. This includes BLIS system failure. Transmission failure. Engine coolant temp failure. Traction control failure. Etc etc. The vehicle enters a limp mode I believe, and in doing so it very harshly shifts down through the transmission gears as I am slowing down. This happened a second time a month after the first incident as I was entering a highway between a bridge where I only had half my car width of space to pull over on both sides. In a blind bend, in a very dangerous place to pull over. I switched to 93 octane in hopes this would fix the issue, and for 6-8 months I haven't had that issue again. Until yesterday. I went to try to pass somebody in a passing zone when my vehicle did exactly as listed above. At this point I firmly believe it has something to do with the ECU, the brains of the car as I think this is the only thing that can tie all the errors together (it’s literally every warning I can think of). Ive taken it to Ford twice now for this issue, and will be inquiring about this again when I get my inspection on Saturday. They stated there is absolutely no data that points them anywhere when they check the stored codes. Even though there was a check engine light. This even further leads me to believe its an ECU issue, as it maybe errors out and is unable to store any codes. Over all its a serious safety issue that no ford dealer is able to diagnose for me. Googling leads me to the FordEdgeForum where other people are experiencing the same issue but without a full solution as its such an intermediate problem and cannot be easily duplicated.
Head gasket failure. Began around 4/13/2022 at mileage 63,988. Was confirmed by Spirit Ford Dundee,Michigan via scope down a piston chamber to detect fluid. Vehicle coolant dropped down to where heat output was affected. Had white plumes from exhaust. Believe this was premature for this type of failure. Elected to have repair at Tanner Automotive Adrian,Michigan. See attached invoice for $2,270.61. Am not interested in compensation. Discussed this with Ford who declined. Simply wish to make record as Ford is aware of this issue; otherwise they would not have issued tech service bulletin for same.If NHTSA issues recall for same; would then participate in all benefits deemed by NHTSA. Vehicle is titled in my wife's name: Sheila Bork Bowman 10550 Pentecost Hwy, Onsted,Mi.49265
Car's brakes went to floor when engaged. Driver pumped them several times to slow car. Engine light came on; took car to mechanic and brake repair was made, but engine light kept appearing. Then the car would not crank and was towed to the mechanic and the battery was replaced. Finally, the car's body/wheels appeared to be shaking when driving and the engine light appeared again. Car was taken to a Ford repair center where service department informed us that the engine needed to be replaced due to coolant leak. The car is driveable but unsafe and requires expensive engine replacement. After doing research, this appears to be a well known problem with the Ford Edge and consumers aren't receiving adequate information about the extent of the problem or safety concerns. A recall needs to be issued for this defect and Ford needs to take responsibility to fix the problem.

Check engine light indicates cylinder misfire. Repair folks assume its spark plug related. Coolant is leaking into the engine causing this and by the time it is figured out the engine needs replaced! It is a known and well documented problem with these vehicles. I believe that FORD should be held liable for the cost of these engine replacements. It appears to happen around 60-65k miles. Unfortunately, owners of these vehicles are unaware of the issue until it happens to them. This is exactly what happened to me and I did research after the fact. I would implore for FORD to issue a recall and pay for these new engines.
After taking my vehicle to the shop, it was discovered that engine coolant is leaking into cylinder 3 causing a misfire. Was told that I will have to replace engine with 94,000 miles at a cost of $8500 of my own money. There is a TSB out there, but it is not covered by Ford. Extremely frustrating.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while parked in the driveway with engine running, the contact noticed and abnormal rattling sound coming from the vehicle. The contact drove the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a cracked flex plate. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 119,000.

Leak in the eco booster coolant system of my 2017 Ford Edge. Our local Ford dealership, Riverside Ford, will not return our calls and have given a ridiculous timeframe of 3 months or more before they will even look at it.
Dealer states there is a hole in the #3 cylinder wall.
Engine encountered cold start misfire code 105.95, cylinder 1 misfire and misfire detected on startup, PO 301 and 316. Coolant leaking into cylinder, Ford TSB 19-2208 is to replace the Long Block Engine Assembly. Engine has 93511 miles and is not covered under warranty, will cost an exorbitant amount to replace. Ford should issue a recall due to the severity as this effects many different model engines.
In reference to the nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/mc 10169807. My vehicle is in this issue and Ford is not assisting in resolving this .
Bought vehicle new at a dealer, never one problem and every service completed at the dealership. No warning, 2 days ago I went to start my car and it idled then shut off. Check engine light popped on, quickly after another screen popped up and said coolant above temperature. Immediate drove a mile to the ford dealership to be advised they could not see me, but maybe get to it next week. But, I should.not drive it off the lot. Long story short, had it towed to my home dealership about 120 miles away, they looked the following day only to advise coolant was leaking into the engine and this is a known issue! Of course, warranty expired 5k miles ago ( 5 months) and they are asking me to replace the entire engine at my cost for about $8500! The car is just over 4 years old, 2017 edge. I also find it hard to believe that I just did the 80k mile service 3 weeks ago and somehow nothing was wrong at that time. Still owe money on a car that I either can't drive or have to pay $$$$.
Known and reported by many others issue regarding coolant intrusion into engine cylinders, making engine inoperable and requiring complete replacement.
I believe the component that is causing the intermittent issue is the throttle body, however the issue is very hard to diagnose as it is very intermittent. There has been another case on the same engine (just a different year) that I have found online. While entering a highway on multiple occasions now, the vehicles engine entered a limp mode, and the entire dash had lit up with service messages. The Wrench, Check Engine, Service AdvanceTrac, Blindspot Monitoring, and many more lights were present. This is unsafe because in both situations I was unable to accelerate to get out of the way of oncoming traffic let alone safely pull my car to the side of the road. In one instance I had to pull off on the only shoulder I had just as I was entering a major highway and ended up being half in the lane of oncoming traffic on a bend where oncoming vehicles could not really see me stopped. Ive been at a dealer twice, and there are no codes present, the issue goes away after a simple vehicle restart.
1. The engine assembly failed, the vehicle is at the repair shop waiting for a new engine. 2. When starting the car, there was white smoke pouring out of the car 3. Ford and 2 other repair shops have confirmed the issue, coolant leaking into cylinders 4. Vehicle has been inspected by Ford, they are the manufacturer of the motor 5. The check engine light came on, however that was after the white smoke was coming out of the exhaust(not sure where it was coming out from, my garage was filled and the odor was foul)
MY 2017 FORD EDGE WITH A 4 CYLINDER 2.0 ECOBOOST ENGINE AND 81,000 MILES NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, AS PER MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. I RECENTLY HAD COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE THROUGH THE CYLINDERS. ALL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WORK, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, HAVE BEEN DONE WHEN REQUIRED. Daytona beach Automall DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOTALLY MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $5500. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WITH FORD ECOBOOST ENGINES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF IT FOR YEARS. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THEN IT'S THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT WHEN THEY HAVE KNOWN FOR SOME TIME THAT THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE.
2017 Edge titanium at roughly 70k miles had check engine light come on then engine coolant temp light. Checked coolant and it was nearly empty. Filled up and within one day it was back to low. Took to two places and both said head gasket issue, with coolant seeping into engine. Both said long block replacement required. This long thread is exactly what happened and seems to be a consistent issue which is very poor on Ford’s part - https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t57176_ds1047694
P0303 Code. 3rd cylinder misfire. Not spark or injector related.. vehicle only has 46k miles. Coolant seeping into cylinder. Known issue on ford forums. Required engine replacement. They need to make a recall.
Sparks and coils were missing and replaced multiple times. Brought vehicle to Veterans Ford in Tampa, FL, and coolant is leaking into the cylinders - they have advised this is a known issue, and no fix is in place. Required a new engine on a 5 year old vehicle with 85,000 miles.
My engine light came on for the first time on a Thursday, Jan 13, 2022. I had an appointment for an oil change with an independent service center on Saturday (1/15/22) & asked them to do a diagnostic check prior to the oil change. They found a code for PO303 Misfire on cylinder 3. They recommended a coolant pressure test per TSB 19-2208. The test was done the following Monday (1/17/22) and they found coolant leaking into cylinder. Replacement of the long block engine assembly per TSB 19-2208 was recommended. Engine was replaced by independent service center (completed 1/25/22). My safety & the safety of others was put at a high risk with this defect in the engine. When the coolant pressure test was done, it took less than 1 hour for all of the coolant to leak into the cylinder. Prior to my engine light coming on, I had no indication of any issue. However, Ford was definitely aware of this issue, since they issued the TSB on June 26, 2019. A vehicle that is less than 5 years old should not need a new engine.
In early December, the vehicle was at approximately 80,000 miles and scheduled for an oil change. A CEL illuminated the day before the oil change. Firestone changed the oil and advised that two codes came on during a code scan: P0302 and P0316. I made an appointment at Complete Car Car for their first available appointment a week out. In the intervening week, the vehicle had a rough idle for the first thirty seconds after startup. The second mechanic pulled the same codes and put a scope into the engine. The scope confirmed that there was a crack in the No. 2 cylinder that was allowing coolant into the engine. They advised that the car would likely need a new engine. They provided TSB 19-2346 and recommended I take the vehicle to the Ford dealership for further investigation. Classic Ford states that the vehicle will require a new engine at a cost of $7,500. Dealership cautioned against any additional miles being put on car, since a failure could result in damage to transmission. Will ask dealership for photos of damage engine components, but current engine will be kept by dealership once new engine arrives.
A warning lamp for the power train came on while traveling on the highway (Wrench indicator). We stopped to check the owners manual for the meaning of the wrench indicator. After seeing it was for the power train, we started back up and headed towards Edgefield (where we live) and get to the closest Ford dealer. After starting the vehicle back up, the warning lamp was no longer lit. While accelerating to highway speeds entering the highway, the engine flex plate gave out and all power from the engine was lost. The vehicle still kept power to the electrical systems (Power steering, A/C, lights, etc.) but no power was being pushed to the wheels. Had the incident happened at full highway speeds, it is unknown what damage could have occurred. This is the assumption from myself due to the symptoms provided from the vehicle at the halt. Symptoms include: Grinding/Rattling sound from the rear of the engine, sounds more prevalent at idle and when shifting into gear, loss of power to wheels, and no other systems have issue after incident. Vehicle is currently at Herlong Ford (SC Ford Dealer) awaiting diagnostic and possible maintenance after the incident. I would assume the vehicle would be available for inspection upon request. After conducting research, we are now aware of a known recall on this specific vehicle for its age and time of manufacturing. The owned vehicle falls into the criteria for the recall but it is unknown why it is not noted on the vehicle history/Ford recall center. The vehicle was manufactured at the Oakville plant, falls within the recall years 2013-2018, and has shown all symptoms pertaining to the recall that is open on other vehicles.
head gasket engineering defect - failed. - coolant leaking in cylinder - engine cracked - only 67,000 miles - was under warranty on years but over on mileage by 7,000 - refused to assist with cost of replacing engine - out of pocket cost close to 11,000 - 2,000 (recouped 1500) was for diagnosis from local garage and 9,000 for engine at Ford Dealership. No assistance with rental car, as well. Replacing engine lead time is 3 months! This is the only vehicle in household. Ford is aware of the engineering defect - has recently revised engineering to correct - a recall should be performed on cars from 2016 thru 2018 with Ford. The consumer should NOT be responsible for an engineering defect. These problems can surface as quick as 20,000 miles. Again! Coolant leak in cylinder destroyed the engine. Where are the Technical Service Bulletins on these vehicles!!? Prestine maintenance records follow this car - no fault of consumer - this is 100 percent Ford's fault. These need to be recalled immediately before a fatal accident occurs.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the coolant had been escaping from the vehicle without warning. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, a large amount of white smoke with a bluish hue began to emit from the exhaust pipe without warning. The contact then took the vehicle to McLarty Ford (3232 Summerhill Rd, Texarkana, TX 75503) where the mechanic informed her that coolant had been leaking into the oil reservoir and that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact then drove the vehicle to her father's home and the next day, the vehicle failed to start after multiple attempts. The contact had the vehicle towed to Elliott Ford (2055 Burton Rd, Mt Pleasant, TX 75455) where they confirmed that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. No further assistance was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
Mileage: 75,000
The check engine light came on summer 2021. Message P0302. It was diagnosed by the Ford dealer as coolant leaking into the engine which could lead to engine failure when driving. Entire engine needed to be replaced.
My car stated hesitating when you’re trying to accelerate and slightly shaking a couple days before my check engine light turned on. I took it to a local mechanic which informed me they did a test and my coolant mixed with the oil. They made a call to Ford and was informed that the only option was to replace the whole engine. He was unable to repair it because understaffed went to two other mechanics and they also were unable to help. My car is now with Ford dealership for more than 2 weeks and was just again diagnosed for $159 and they once again confirmed I will need a whole new engine at just over 70,000 miles $8400 and no idea when they will be able to get the parts in… could be 3 months.
the coolant leaked onto the coil of the motor & now my motor has to be replaced-extended warranty ran out & now looking at 8500-9000k to replace engine. my car is in immaculate condition, well maintained & I paid 40,000k when I purchased in 2017- has 84,000k miles.I have read online at CarGurus complaint after complaint of the same exact problem. The technician at Freedom Ford advised that this has happened to numerous 2.0L Ecoboost motors from 2017-2019 & now the motors have been changed & the problem no longer occurs after 2019. He says that he knows of no recalls. Ford is very well aware of the problem & should do a recall- we paid good money for these cars & they should last longer.
2.0 Ecoboost engine failure. Driving car, started smoking, check engine light came on, lost power, pulled to the side of the road to avoid being hit by traffic, vehicle stalled and stopped. Engine had to be replaced.
My car started rough idling, about a week after that the check engine light came on. We took it to get checked out, the code was for a misfire on cylinder 2. The technician performed an inspection and informed us that we needed new spark plugs and ignition coil. After installing the new parts, the technician noticed coolant inside the cylinders and the engine, there was also white smoke coming out of the tailpipe when starting the vehicle. Our technician did some more research and came across a service bulletin from Ford (19-2346) regarding 2.0 L Ecoboost engines. Our Ford Edge falls under the service bulletin. The technician informed us that the only fix would be a completely new engine which we had to pay for. We have submitted this to our warranty company and have received partial coverage for the repair and parts. We were without the car for almost a month while waiting for diagnostics, parts, and repair. When we brought it in originally and were under the impression we would get the car back the same day and were planning on a 6 hour road trip to attend my son's hockey tournament. I am so thankful that we had a thorough and diligent technician who noticed the coolant, otherwise I would have taken the car on the road and I'm sure the engine would have given out on me somewhere along the way, leaving me stranded in a remote area of Alaska in freezing temperatures.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact then took the vehicle to a dealer where she was informed that the engine had misfired. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that coolant had leaked into the engine cylinder which resulted in engine failure. The contact had the engine replaced by the dealer. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.
Mileage: 77,000
Engine rebuilt at 40k miles in 12/2018. Engine started burning the engine coolant at 90k miles 08/2021. The car while driving goes into a low power mode which stops the car from accelerating. Car is currently at the dealership awaiting parts for another engine rebuild replacing the same parts.
Engine is the 2 liter turbo version, when started the engine missed fired and ran rough which caused the check engine light to come on at ~58,000 miles. Took car to Roush Ford (Columbus Ohio) and dealer confirmed the misfire was caused by coolant leaking into engine. Dealer said a long block and related parts would be ordered to fix the problem. Now waiting for call from dealer to repair, no time frame given but they stated repair time would be long. Continue to drive car with engine light coming on and misfires at startup, hope car does not fail on freeway. Repairs may be covered by Ford but no info about rental car at Ford expense. Also have a 2015 Edge with same turbo engine which could fail the same way at any time as it has 80,000 miles.
mechanic told me that radiator fluid was leaking into the number 2 cylinder which could cause the car to lose power. motor is a 2.0 eco boost. car has 62000 miles. i believe this is a very dangerous situation going down a busy highway or actually anytime. ford has known about this problem for a long time but has failed to do anything. mechanic told me many 2.0 motors has this problem of anti-freeze leaking into motor and ford issued a message about the problem to ford dealerships and how to fix it. their should be a recall to fix the problem before something bad happens. thank you
Car was mysteriously losing coolant which would lead to overheating. We would have to fill the coolant tank two times a month. When brought to the mechanic to find the leak, none could be found. Check engine light would go on and off periodically. One day, the car randomly wouldn't start. Being told by the mechanic that there is a catastrophic engine failure and the whole motor and turbo would need to be replaced. He said he had the same year and model come in not 2 months prior with the exact same issues. Coolant was leaking within the engine, hence why it couldn't be found during normal tests. a 2017 motor with less than 100,000 miles should not be experiencing engine failure.
My 3 ½ year old Ford Edge needs a new engine. It is a known problem with Ford Motor company and I believe there should be, if not a class action lawsuit against the company. My car is past the standard powertrain warranty and I declined extended warranty when I purchased the car. The check engine light came in. I took it to car dealer to figure out what was wrong and Kenny Ross Ford in Adamsburg, PA said I need a new engine. It is a 2017 Ford Edge with 73,000 miles. The local service center said it would be about 8-9k to fix it. There was not an issue with the vehicle reported under warranty. It sputtered a bit over the past three years, but I thought nothing of it. Normally I would just say it’s my bad luck, however this is a known problem with Ford Motor company. When my wife dropped the car off the dealership, the gentlemen at the dealer said he hopes it isn’t an engine replacement because it is common for that car. He didn’t even look at the car before saying that and he knew exactly what was going on. My wife told me about it so I immediately looked online. (See link at the end of this message with similar complaints about this car) One owner said they contacted the Kentucky attorney general’s office as well. Some of them said they had to replace the engine a second time after two years. Hundreds of people are reporting the SAME EXACT PROBLEM and it appears like the new motor they put eventually fails again. I feel that Ford Motor is purposefully hiding a design flaw and don’t want to issue a recall because of the cost. I feel cheated and I want them to replace my motor at no cost or buy my car back from me at full KBB trade in value at excellent condition. I contacted them directly on Friday and informed them that I was contacting the attorney generals office. I told them I want an engine replacement and I should not be responsible for it. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t69477_ds1054339
On Monday August 30th 2021 while driving the warning light stating that the engine was overheating came on. The engine was stopped and coolant level was checked and shown to be low within the engine. Coolant was refilled and the engine seemed to stabilize. On September 3rd 2021 the same overheating censor came on again and the car was taken to a licensed Ford dealer for emergency maintenance. On September 7th 2021 the repair shop called and reported that the issue was a leak in the cylinder for the coolant in the engine and that the entire engine would have to be replaced. The cost of the repair was quoted as $7636 plus tax. The car is only just over 62,000 miles with the warranty period having ended at 60,000 miles.
Engine overheating due to a KNOWN issue with coolant leaking into the cylinders of the 2017 Ford Edge. Ford knows about this issue as I have seen it reported on several different sites. This should be recalled as my vehicle began to overheat while I was driving. This puts my wife and my family at danger. I had my car serviced at the Ford dealership since it was purchased and this issue was never brought up. So this is not a servicing issue it is an issue with the engine itself.
In the Ford Edge Titanium model (I own a 2017), the 2.0L engine developed a crack in the long block between cylinders. This causes coolant to leak in the cylinders and the spark plug to seize. The engine will miss-fire and could stop running. This has happened to a multitude of Ford Edges and Escapes with the 2.0L engine. Ford is very aware of this issue.
Driving Edge with 62,000 miles on it and had a Check Engine Light later determined to be P303 (cylinder 3 misfire). I replaced coolant after finding the reservoir low. I noticed white smoke and misfiring engine at first start. The engine stuttered on the freeway and was unsafe. Ford Dealership determined a coolant leak caused this issue and will replace the engine minus my deductible on my extended service plan. As I understand it, this ecoboost engine is prone to this defect. I am only getting a rental car for 5 days on a job that will be much longer.
On way to beach on 6/6/2021 the check engine light came on and warning that car may be overheating came on, pulled to side of road until car cooled down. It ran hot but was full of coolant and not leaking. Took to to Moyer Ford in Foley, Al on 6/7/2021 with 65243 miles on car and was told would need new engine for this 2017 Ford Edge with less than 70,000 miles in it. Spent $5,500 for a new engine on a vehicle with less than $70,000 and 4 years old.
Coolant leaking into engine. Check engine light came on 07/11/2021. Took vehicle to local auto store for diagnostic test. Was told a mid ire in cylinder 2. Took vehicle to neighborhood auto shop on 07/12. Mechanic said it was the same issue to take it to the dealership due to the warranty. Brought my vehicle to dealership on 07/13. On the way to the dealership my vehicle died out on the expressway. After 6 hours of waiting, was told did not know what was causing the problem but needed to keep it. Was not provided another vehicle. I had to come out of pocket for a rental. Called on 7/20 and was told it might be my transmission and low engine coolant. Called again on 07/23, was told it was the battery. I called on 7/26 was told I need a new engine. There are complaints about this issue. Ford motor company knows about the issue. This issue with the vehicle could has caused serious injury or death to me or my family. The lack of communication is horrible.
Vehicle began exhibiting a loud rattle from the engine at idle. Took vehicle to dealer and they identified it as a cracked flex plate (flexplate). While vehicle was still drivable at the time, the flex plate had the potential to fully fail at any time, which would cause power loss to the wheels. Vehicle has 62000 miles, just outside of power train warranty, and expected to cost $5000 to $10000 to repair.
The engine block is cracked and fluid is leaking into the cylinders.
The engine of my 2017 Ford Edge began to misfire intermittently in 2019. When it was finally able to be diagnosed in 2020, it was determined fuel had escaped around a spark plug. The spark plugs were replaced. Approximately one year later, the issue began again. Upon further inspection, it was found that a head gasket had gone bad. While there is not definite evidence of a coolant leak, it is suspected a leak may have initiated the issue. Research has also indicated the engine block is most likely cracked. While driving, the engine would often lull and stop accelerating. This happened several times as I attempted to drive down the interstate, being forced to exit the highway due to not being able to move with the speed of traffic. After the first repair of the spark plugs, the car seemed to drive fine, however, they shouldn't have gone bad within a year of install indicating a much larger issue. The car is unable to be driven. Even with replacing the head gasket, I do not feel the car would be safe with a cracked engine block. Nor should the motor have gone bad this soon.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving to her destination. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the engine to be replaced. The contact also took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was also informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer and the engine was replaced. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000. The consumer stated she was told not to drive the vehicle anymore due to the fact the engine might freeze up and spent $5400 to have the engine repaired.
Mileage: 69,000
Engine defect - Coolant leaking into cyclinder- requires whole new engine
Service Code P0302 and P0316 indicating Cylinder #2 malfunction/misfiring---2017 FORD Edge SE FWD 2.0L EcoBoost. Check engine light came on at 59,995 miles, Sunday, March 28, 2021. Thus far, no one in danger. But some of the symptoms of this inherent, internal engine, failure code make the operation of the vehicle dangerous. The vehicle may stop abruptly or stall out. Occasionally, engine runs rough, shakes with hesitations and jerks with acceleration. 06/18/2021 inspected at Pinnacle FORD in Nicholasville, Ky. "Allowed engine to reach operation temperature and pressurized for 5 hours, 8 PSI drop in pressure. Removed spark plug and used borescope to verify coolant intrusion in the cylinder. Customer given estimate for long block rebuild". The engine light came on & off (more often) for the next 4 weeks or so after 3/29/2021. I stopped by the dealer on Monday, 3/29 to get appointment.They were 2 1/2 weeks out booking appointments.Approximately 3 weeks passed without definite symptoms or smell, engine light off & on.Had a friend mechanic look at hoses and the like, without finding any leakage, smell of antifreeze, etc. Tested P0302 diagnostic code. Changed the spark plugs. As a result, for about 2 week period of no light illumination, no smell.Came on again prior to getting an appointment prior to Memorial Weekend, and the service center was again booked 2 weeks out.Per my schedule and theirs, I scheduled an appointment at the 3 weeks timeframe. Dropped it off 06/17/2021 after hours.

Coolant leak into cylinder. Manufacture defect. Known issue by Ford but will not cover any replacement as vehicle is out of warranty by 7000 miles. A 2017 with 67000 driven by a grandma 5 mph under the speed limit should not need a new engine. Engine light comes on. Misfires. Puffs of white smoke. Didn’t take to dealer as closest if 1/2 hour away. Took to local repair shop. They ran codes and said it is a known problem from Ford. NHTSA ID Number: 10162071 Manufacturer Communication Number: TSB 19-2208 Summary Some 2015-2018 Edge and 2017-2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape/MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a low coolant level, white exhaust smoke and/or a runs rough condition with or without an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may include P0300, P0301-P0304, P0316, P0217, P1285 and/or P1299 stored in powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to replace the long block engine assembly. This needs to be a recall or at least Ford needs to cover the replacement costs for those with issues.
2017 Ford edge with 79,000 miles began to make a loud engine rattle, it almost sounded like someone had put a semi-engine in it overnight. No check engine lights ever appeared. Took it to a local shop and they came out to look at it and said it sounded really bad and I needed to tow it to a Ford House immediately. Once Ford took it apart they found that the flywheel had cracked, and it caused my crankshaft to crack as well. They're saying I need a complete engine replacement for $8,000. Big safety issue that no check engine light never came on with complete engine failure.
Service light came on then overheat light - took to dealer to check. Told by service guy that the tech has performed a long pressure test on the coolant system to find a leak. There are no external leaks so we checked and found coolant intrusion inside the cylinder head. The fix for that is a complete engine assembly.
Engine light came on with 83,690 miles. Carried to local Ford dealership. Problem was coolant leakage into engine(which my research has shown is a common issue). The solution is engine replacement at cost of around $7000. This is a known problem and Ford has yet to correct it.
THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING WITH NO OTHER ISSUES. THE FOLLOWING DAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME LOCAL DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED A SECOND TIME. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

2017 Ford Edge w/2.0 EcoBoost engine. Vehicle had about 64000 miles, started vehicle in morning and it idled rough. Check engine light came on. I used a code reader and it showed "random misfire, cylinder 4" P0304. Reset the check engine light and drove for about 10 more days. Started again in the morning and it idled rough causing the check engine light to come on again. I took vehicle to Ford and they diagnosed "fluid intrusion into cylinder walls". Service adviser knew exactly what it was when I described problem, saying "this is a common occurrence". Replaced engine at a cost of $5302 since it was approx. 6ooo miles out of warranty. Found numerous online complaints about this same engine and same problem. Ford seems to know about it because in Dec. 2019 they issued TSB #19-2346 describing the problem and the steps to fix it (new engine and the required parts to order). many online complaints describe low coolant and overheating. My engine would of gotten there if I hadn't taken it in to the dealer.

MY 2017 FORD EDGE WITH A 4 CYLINDER 2.0 ECOBOOST ENGINE AND 81,000 MILES NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, AS PER MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. I RECENTLY HAD COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE THROUGH THE CYLINDERS. ALL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WORK, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, HAVE BEEN DONE WHEN REQUIRED. DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOTALLY MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $8,500. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WITH FORD ECOBOOST ENGINES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF IT FOR YEARS. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THEN IT'S THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY.

ON MY 2017 FORD EDGE THE EPB MOTOR AND ABS MODULE WENT OUT AT 62,000 MILES RESULTING IN BRAKES DRAGGING AND VERY DIFFICULT TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE WITH THE DANGER OF LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE ENGINE IS A 4 CYLINDER 2 LITER ECOBOOST AND HAS BEEN LEAKING COOLANT INTO CYLINDER NUMBER 2 CAUSING COOLANT LEVEL TO DROP AND THE ENGINE MISFIRING EVENTUALLY LEADING TO A ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. FORD HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO LOOK OUT FOR THESE PROBLEMS. THE ONLY REMEDY IS ENGINE REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF AT LEAST $8,000.00. FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS FOR QUITE A LONG TIME BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND WILL NOT HELP WITH THE COST OF REPAIR. I BELIEVE MY ENGINE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM UNTIL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT APPROX. 61,500 MILES. I THINK FORD SHOULD BEAR THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT AS THE ENGINE HAS FAILED BEFORE 62,000 MILES. A CAR ENGINE SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS OF DOZENS OF SIMILAR CASES OF THE ECOBOOST ENGINES HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND BELEIVE IT HAS A DESIGN FLAW.

I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS DRIVING AROUND TOWN ONE DAY WHEN I NOTICED MY AUTO ENGINE START/STOP FEATURE IN MY 2017 FORD EDGE STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY SAID IT WAS A MISFIRE IN THE ENGINE. A WEEK LATER, A YELLOW LIGHT WITH THE PICTURE OF AN ENGINE APPEARS ON MY DASH. I TOOK MY CAR FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. IT CAME BACK WITH THE CODE P0304. I TAKE MY CAR TO FORD AND THEY SUGGEST REPLACING THE LONG BLOCK. THEY QUOTE ME $6,800. I NOTICED THAT MY HEAT IN MY CAR STOPPED WORKING ON THE WAY HOME. I CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL AND IT WAS REALLY LOW. I PUT COOLANT IN MY RESERVOIR AND IT WORKS AGAIN. BUT, I HAVE TO KEEP FILLING THE RESERVOIR WITH COOLANT EVERY OTHER DAY, WHICH GETS EXPENSIVE. I TELL THE SERVICE GUYS, AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, WHICH CAUSES THE HEATING TO STOP WORKING, AND LOW COOLANT LEVELS. I CONTACT FORD MOTORS COMPANY, AND THEY TELL ME MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I PURCHASED MY CAR USED ON FEBRUARY 27,2020. IT HAD 57 THOUSAND MILES ON IT THE DAY OF PURCHASE. THE WARRANTY WAS UP AT 60 THOUSAND MILES. NOT FAIR TO ME AT ALL AS I WAS TOLD I HAD A WARRANTY FROM THE MILEAGE I GOT THE CAR AT AND 60 THOUSAND MILES BEYOND. THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND ALSO BECAUSE I DID NOT LEAVE MY CAR AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON MY CASE. MY CASE MANAGER FROM FORD MOTORS NEVER EVER CONTACTED ME PRIOR TO CLOSING MY CASE ONCE SHE DISCOVERED I NEVER LEFT MY CAR AT FORD. I TRIED REACHING OUT TO HER SEVERAL TIMES IN ATTEMPTS OF GETTING MY CAR TO FORD AND SEEING WHERE WE CAN GO FROM THERE, AND SHE NEVER ANSWERED OR RETURNED ANY OF MY CALLS OR EMAILS. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND ISSUE A RECALL AS THEY WERE MADE AWARE OF THE EXPENSIVE ISSUE BY MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS FROM REVIEWS AND FORUMS I HAVE READ ONLINE AND HEARD FROM OTHER EDGE OWNERS.

HAPPENS EVERY TIME I BRAKE. HITTING THE BRAKE TO STOP ENGINE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AS I COME TO A STOP. IN ADDITION TO VIOLENT ENGINE SHAKING THE CAR IS THRUSTING FORWARD. I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT HARDER ON THE BRAKE NOT TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WILL HAVE TO THROW IT IN NEUTRAL TO STOP THE SHAKING. IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE REVS. WHEN TRAFFIC BEGINS TO MOVE I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND HIT THE GAS BUT THEN IT LAGS SEVERELY. IT WON'T GO ANYWHERE FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS BEFORE IT FINALLY TAKES OFF. THAT LITERALLY HAPPENS EVERYTIME I STOP AND GO. IF YOU ARE IN PARK AND HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE TOO LONG BEFORE PUTTING IN A GEAR IT STALLS OUT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND OPENED A CASE WITH FORD CORPORATION WHO BOTH DEEMED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE, BUT NEITHER WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TWICE AND FORD HAS DENIED TO ASSIST WITH GETTING IT FIXED TWICE. THERE ARE SO MANY UNSAFE 2017 FORD EDGE TRANSMISSIONS. I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. IT'S VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. MY DOCUMENTS ARE IN THE FORD COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY SAY THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP AND RHE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED. I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT SO MANY TIMES PULLING OUT BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T GO.

VEHICLE BEGAN TO IDLE ROUGHLY UPON COLD START, AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WOULD IDLE NORMALLY. AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE THEY RECEIVE A NEW ENGINE. WE WERE NOT OFFERED A LOANER VEHICLE, WE HAD TO ASK FOR A LOANER VEHICLE. OUR VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000 MILES. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE CYLINDER. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. MOST PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MADE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THIS ENGINE REPLACEMENT. WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND, SO FAR, HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD WE WILL BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR REPAIR. FORD HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THIS AS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CATEGORIZED AS A RECALL, THUS LEAVING PEOPLE WITH A LARGE REPAIR BILL. THE ENGINE DESIGN OBVIOUSLY HAVE A DEFECT THAT SHOULD NECESSITATE A FORMAL RECALL.

THE ENGINE STARTS ROUGH BUT CLEARS AND THE VEHICLE USES SOME RADIATOR FLUID. WE TOOK IT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND THE DEALER TOLD US WE NEED A NEW ENGINE. FORD HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT FOR THIS ISSUE BUT BECAUSE WE ARE OVER ON THE MILEAGE THEY WILL NOT COVER ANYTHING. WE NOW HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT IS BASICALLY WORTH NOTHING. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY WILL NOT EVEN ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS DEFECTIVE ENGINE. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THE NEW MOTORS HAVE THE DEFECT CORRECTED. I FEEL FORD SHOULD STAND BEHIND A DEFECTIVE ENGINE BUT THEY WON'T UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT TELLS THEM TO.

I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM A STOP SIGN ACROSS TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN I WAS CLEAR I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE. PRIOR TO CLEARING THE TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS LEFT ME SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. I WAS NOT HIT THANKFULLY BUT THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE IN ANOTHER SITUATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE CAR STALLING BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WHERE THE SITUATION LEFT ME IN DANGER. THIS STALLING IS DUE TO A MISFIRING CYLINDER BECAUSE ENGINE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. FORD HAS STATED THAT THE LONG BLOCK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $9,000. AS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED RIGHT AFTER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY ENDED, THEY REFUSE TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE DESPITE THE ISSUE BEING A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. SOONER OR LATER SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING TO GET A JUSTIFIABLE RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM?

AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER A YEAR, WITH 61K MILES, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE BUT AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS MODEL. FORD HAS SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT UNTIL A RECALL IS ISSUED WITH MY VEHICLE BEING 1K MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. OTHERS HAVE STATED THAT FORD SERVICE HAS ADMITTED THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINT AND REPAIRS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I AM UNABLE TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY IS AT RISK.

WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR IDLED ROUGH AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND THE CODE WAS FOR A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2. MECHANIC CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND CLEARED THE CODE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND THAT THE LONG BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 64,000 MILES. WITH THIS PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE ACCELERATION DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT AND THE CAR SHAKES. THIS PROBLEM IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. FORD NEEDS TO LOOK AT THE SITUATION AND DO THE RIGHT THING. THE FORD EDGE IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN DESIGN.

2017 FORD EDGE WITH THE 2.0L ENGINE FAILED AT 73,143 MILES DUE TO COOLANT IN THE CYLINDERS. ORIGINAL CODE WAS A P0301 FOR MISS IN CYLINDER NUMBER ONE. REPLACED PLUGS AND COILS WITH OE FROM DEALER AND PROBLEM PERSISTED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ENGINE VIBRATION OCCURRED WHILE RUNNING AT IDLE. THERE WAS NO SMOKE EVER FROM THE EXHAUST. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY NOTED LOW COOLANT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NEVER AN OVERHEAT ISSUE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODE STORED. DEALER REFERENCED TSB 19-2346 AND SAID ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL FORD WOULD ASSUME ZERO COST. STILL OWING MONEY ON THE CAR THERE WAS NO OTHER OPTION OTHER THAN REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF $7000. GIVEN WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE FREQUENCY OF THIS SPECIFIC FAILURE COUPLED WITH THE WIDE RANGE OF MILES WHEN IT OCCURS FORD SHOULD STEP UP AND AT LEAST PARTNER WITH OWNERS TO HELP WITH THE COST OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT OR FATALITY DEPENDING UPON WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED OR WENT INTO LIMP MODE.

WE NEEDED THE CAR TO GET TO WORK AND BACK SO WE TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED WITH ANOTHER REPUTABLE SERVICE PROVIDER. HE INFORMED US THAT WE DEFIANTLY NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AS THE CODE IT WAS THROWING, P0301-P0304, WAS A MAJOR ENGINE DEFECT. HE TOLD US THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS VEHICLE AND THAT THE ENGINE MOST LIKELY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED NEWBERG FORD AND MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. WE TOOK IT IN AND AFTER A DAY IN A HALF WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS INDEED AN ENGINE DEFECT AND THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT WE SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS IT COULD FAIL WHILE DRIVING. THANK GOD WE DID NOT FOLLOW THEIR FIRST ADVICE THAT IT WOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE! AT FIRST, THEY TOLD US IT WAS GOING TO COST US OVER $8000 TO REPAIR. WE WERE DEVASTATED. WHILE WE STILL OWED SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THE CAR, WE REALLY DID NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY! WE COULDN'T NOT FIX IT AS IT IS A DAILY DRIVER. FORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP CAME UP WITH A LOWER COST TO REPAIR IT, WHICH WAS WEIRD, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO FINANCE IT TO GET THE WORK DONE. NOW WE ARE NOT ONLY MAKING CAR PAYMENTS BUT ALSO PAYMENTS ON A LOAN THAT IS ALMOST HALF OF WHAT IS OWED ON THIS CAR! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

NOW, FORD WONT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IM PASSED 7K MILES FROM MY WARRANTY EXPIRATION. I HOPE I'LL GET SOME HELP BECAUSE I DONT EVEN HAVE 2 YEARS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NOW IS ALL DAMAGE FOR NO REASON.

AT THIS POINT MY SUV STILL RUNS BUT I PREFER TO NOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO IT, SO I DONT HAVE A CAR TO GET TO WORK. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF ENGINE IS IT OR IF THIS HAS JUST HAPPENED TO ME AND I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALLOF THIS MAKE AND MODEL.

MY 2017 FORD EDGE 2.0L ECOBOOST, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH CODE OF P0302, AFTER CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS, FINALLY TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BANNER FORD IN MANDEVILLE, LA AND AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC WAS FOUND TO HAVE "COOLANT INTRUSION ON CYLINDER #2, AND WAS TOLD THAT FORD WOULD NOT SELL THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE ENGINE, BUT THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE FORD HAD CHANGED THE DESIGN ON THE ENGINE AND GASKETS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT A TSB, AS I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND THEY ALL HAVE CONTACTED FORD WITH THE SAME RESULTS, SO FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, COMPLAINTS GO BACK AS FAR AS 2015 AND ALL ARE AROUND THE 65K TO 70K MILE MARK. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS BY REDESIGNING THE ENGINES AND THE GASKETS. I AM LOOKING AT AN $8500 ENGINE REPLACEMENT BILL BECAUSE I AM OUT-OF-WARRANTY.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DIAGNOSIS CODE P0304 CAME ON. DROVE FOR ANOTHER WEEK AND TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP. TOLD THERE WAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO CYLINDERS AND I HAD TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE. ENGINE IS FORD 2.0 L ECOBOOST. HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS ENTRIES ON FORUMS OF CONSUMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME DEFECTIVE ENGINE. MILEAGE IS 25 MILES BEYOND THE 60,000 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. COST IS WELL OVER $5000 ON AN ENGINE THAT FORD KNOWS TO BE DEFECTIVE AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR RECALLING THIS DEFECTIVE ENGINE.

A YEAR AGO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS MISFIRING WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. THEY FIXED THE HEAD GASKET AND REPLACED THE CYLINDERS AND IT RAN OKAY FOR A WHILE. FAST FORWARD TO LAST WEEK AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD AND MY DOG IN THE CAR ON OUR WAY TO VACATION AND AN ERROR LIGHT CAME ON SAYING IT WAS A COOLANT EMERGENCY; AT THE SAME TIME THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON IMMEDIATELY. SUDDENLY THE CAR BASICALLY WENT DEAD WHILE IN MOTION GOING 75 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD TO STEER IT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN IT OFF; LEAVING US STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR 4 HOURS. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE APPARENTLY AFTER I HAD MY CAR WORKED ON THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS A TSB 19-2346 SAYING IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURS THEN THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS HAD MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE TWICE IN ONE YEAR- LEAVING MY FAMILY AND I IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE ECOBOOST 2.0 ENGINE. A COMMON PROBLEM?!?! NOW I HAVE TO PAY $7000 FOR A NEW ENGINE, $600 FOR A TOW ACROSS THREE STATES $100 IN UBER FOR PICKING US UP AND HOTEL FEES LEAVING US STRANDED.

BATTERY GOES DEAD FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SOMETIMES A MESSAGE WILL APPEAR THAT THE CAR IS IN POWER SAVING MODE (ELECTRICALLY) TO SAVE THE BATTERY, BUT NOT ALWAYS. AFTER CHARGING THE BATTERY, THE VEHICLE MAY RUN FINE FOR 2-3 WEEKS THEN GO DEAD. I HAVE NOTICED THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE AN AUDIBLE SOUND WHEN WORKING, AND I HAVE NOTICED A CLICKING NOISE FROM THE FUSE / CIRCUIT BOX WITHOUT ANY THING BEING DONE TO THE VEHICLE, AND WHEN IT WILL NOT START. THE CURRENT EPISODE IS THE SECOND IN 3 WEEKS, THE THIRD IN 6MOS. THE FIRST EPISODE, THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS A BATTERY ISSUE. OTHER THAN THIS, THE CAR PERFORMS FINE. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR STARTED RUNNING ROUGH, JERKING WHEN STARTING UP, OR WHILE WAITING AT A LIGHT. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDERS AND THERE WAS A FORD TSB OUT FOR IT. WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON GOT MY CAR CHECKED BEFORE IT CAUSED ANY ACCIDENT. READING ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, SOME OF THEM WERE NOT SO LUCKY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT JUST A TSB. *TR

I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY 2017 SILVER FORD EDGE, BECAUSE ON 5/8/2020 THE ENGINE ICON CAME UP ON MY DASH. SO I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AT THE LOCAL JARETT FORD DEALERSHIP IN LAKELAND, FL, THINKING IT JUST NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. AFTER I GOT THIS DONE, THE ENGINE ICON NEVER WENT AND I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE MY VEHICLE SHAKING AND IT ALSO BEGAN HEATING UP. THIS HAPPENED IN 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WITH A RED WARNING MESSAGE ON MY DASH OF THE PRECAUTION I SHOULD TAKE TO AVOID OVERHEATING. EACH TIME I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE, WAITED FOR IT TO COOL DOWN, AND ADDED COOLANT TO THE RADIATOR COOLANT TANK. I WENT TO ELDER FORD OF TAMPA, FL, WHERE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER, TERRY WAS COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS AS TO WHO NHTSA IS AS WELL AS NO IDEA OF THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. AS I WENT TO DRIVE AWAY MY VEHICLE, NOW IT DID NOT WANT TO START. FRANK TRIED TO SEE IF IT WAS A BATTERY ISSUE AND TRIED JUMP STARTING IT BUT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BATTERY. BY GOD'S MIRACLE MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY TURNED ON AND BY HIS MERCIES I WAS ABLE TO ARRIVE AT MY HOUSE. NOW, I CANNOT GET TO WORK AND ARE STUCK BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS OVER. I NEED TO KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP ME RESOLVE THIS MATTER THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHAT NHTSA IS NOR YOUR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. I WILL APPRECIATE SOMEONE HELPING ME, OR POINTING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. *TR
I PURCHASED A 2017 FORD EDGE, IN 2017, WHICH RAN FINE AT FIRST. A YEAR IN, THE CAR WOULD RUN ROUGH, AND TWICE BOGGED DOWN AND TURNED OFF. STARTED AGAIN, REPLACED BATTERY WITH UNDER 2YRS OF USE AND KEPT WORKING. FAST FORWARD TWO YEARS, A FEW WEEKS AGO, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I BEGAN TO SEE PERFORMANCE ISSUES AND SUDDENLY WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT THE EXHAUST. NO LEAKING WAS EVIDENT, AND I NEVER GOT A WARNING ON MY DASH ABOUT TEMP OR COOLANT OR ANYTHING OF THE LIKE. TOOK IT TO FORD, WHERE I BOUGHT IT, AND AFTER EXPLAINING THE NHTSA CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM, TWO OF THE ASSOCIATES REACTED COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT EVEN NHTSA STOOD FOR OR THE ISSUE, WHICH BTW SEEMS TO BE REPORTED OVER 10 TIMES ON THE NHTSA SITE. NEVERTHELESS, THEY SUGGESTED A NEW BATTERY, SPARK PLUGS/WIRES, AND THEN OFFERED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW DAYS CHARGING $125 FOR THE "DIAGNOSTIC", TO WHICH I REFUSED. THEY THEN GAVE IT A ONCE-OVER, AND FOUND COOLANT IN THE ENGINE, [MILKY OIL] WHICH INDICATES WATER SEEPING INTO THE ENGINE AND WOULD MOST LIKELY REQUIRE A CYLINDER HEAD AT THE VERY LEAST. THEY OFFERED TO GIVE ME A RENTAL, FOR WHICH THEY STATED "I WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY" OUTSIDE OF THE $50 LIABILITY FEE, WHICH IS REFUNDABLE UPON FORD'S HQ/CREDIT TEAM GOT BACK TO THEM. IF THEY SAW THAT THIS WAS NOT A "RECALL" TYPE ITEM, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL AS WELL AS THE COST OF REPAIRS, WHICH BALL-PARKED AROUND $4500-$5000. CLEARLY, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, FOR A 3YR OLD CAR WITH UNDER 66K MILES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. FILING A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA IN THE HOPES OF FINDING SOME SEMBLANCE OF JUSTICE. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MULTIPLE MISFIRES WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. CODES READ P0302-MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2 AND P0316- OASIS FOUND TSB. REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND CYLINDER 2. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON THE NEXT DAY AND READ THE SAME CODES. FORD SAYS THIS WAS FROM A DESIGN FLAW BUT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED, BUT THE NEW MOTORS HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED. I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW LONG BLOCK AND SERVICE FOR $7000 WHEN THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO HOW MANY IT HAS AFFECTED.

I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I WILL BE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE SCREEN SHOWS FOR ME TO "PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE". THE FIRST AND SECOND RETURN WAS AT STIVERS FORD MONTGOMERY AL. THE FIRST RETURN TIME WAS ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEY STATED THAT THEY RESET THE COMPUTER. THE SECOND RETURN WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS. THEY ISSUED ME A LOANER AT NO CHARGE, AND SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I COULD MANUALLY TURN OFF THE FEATURE THAT POWERS DOWN THE VEHICLE. I WILL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 3RD TIME ON 1/18/19 FOR SAME PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT EITHER THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE OR DEALERSHIP IS UNAWARE OF HOW TO REPAIR.

ON A HIGHWAY DRIVING 65 MPH AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF. DASHBOARD WAS DARK YET FLASHED 'TRANS NOT IN PARK'... ASSUMING I HIT THE START BUTTON BY ACCIDENT WHILE ADJUSTING MY VENT. I HAD TO CRUISE TO A COMPLETE STOP (ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER DURING RUSH HOUR) SINCE BRAKES DIDN'T EVEN WORK AND RESTARTED VEHICLE ONCE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND I COULD HIT THE BREAK. I TESTED IT LATER ON THAT DAY AND WHILE DRIVING IN A SAFE PARKING LOT, I HIT THE START BUTTON AS I WAS DRIVING 20 MPH AND IT INDEED SHUT OFF. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS GLITCH WHERE THE START BUTTON DOES NOT DISENGAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE AS IT SHOULD. MY EDGE HAD 5000 MILES ON IT AND I REPORTED IT TO MY FORD SALES PERSON- HE HAS YET TO GET BACK TO ME. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FORD THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED.

BRAKES SQUEAK UPON INITIAL DRIVE AND ENGINE HAS A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER AREA DURING START UP.
THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS STALLED OVER A COUPLE OF DOZEN TIMES SINCE PURCHASING BRAND NEW A YEAR AGO. IT USUALLY STALLS A COUPLE OF SECONDS AFTER STARTING. TWO TIMES IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY BE VERY DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR A COMBINED FOUR TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY CLAIM TO NOT BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO NOTHING CAN BE FIXED. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED 8 OR 9 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK ALONE.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW WITH 10 MILES DRIVEN ONLY 14 MONTHS AGO. AT 3100 MILES IT LOST ALL ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC/ENGINE POWER AS I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES ON A CITY STREET WITH TRAFFIC! THE ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE WRENCH LIGHT AND DINGING SOUNDS FLASHED; THE VEHICLE DECREASED IN SPEED, AND SHUT DOWN, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE STREET INTO AN OPEN DRIVEWAY PRIOR TO ITS COMPLETE STOP OF THE VEHICLE FROM LOSS OF ALL POWER! THEN THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO POWER; IGNITION WOULD NOT START; NO LIGHTS, NO POWER OF ANY KIND. AFTER CALLING FORD SERVICE HOTLINE, AND ABOUT 2.5 HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK IN THE HOT HEAT, I TRIED THE IGNITION - THE POWER WAS BACK. NEVERTHELESS, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THE NEXT DAY THEIR DIAGNOSTICS AND TWO TEST DRIVES 'FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE'. I INFORMED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WYATT JOHNSON FORD, JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM, DOESN'T NEGATE THE FACT THAT SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE TO STOP ABRUPTLY AS IT DID; LIKE A COMPUTER SHUTTING DOWN COMPLETELY. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE KNOWING THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITH DIRE CONSEQUENCES AND WANT TO REPORT THIS HAZARDOUS PROBLEM TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ACCORDINGLY! THERE ARE NO PICTURES TO ACCOMPANY THIS COMPLAINT. I AWAIT SOME INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO SHARED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH FORD, NISSAN AND OTHER VEHICLES. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT WILL BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FURTHER. THANK YOU. *TR

AFTER COMPLETING A TURN AND ACCELERATING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLAMMED ON ITS BRAKES AND CUT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, IT WOULD SLAM VIOLENTLY ON THE BRAKES AGAIN. AS THIS WAS HAPPENING, ALL DRIVER ASSISTANCE WARNING ICONS WERE INTERMITTENTLY FLASHING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ENGAGED PARK, SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED AND IT WAS WORKING FINE. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS A LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION THAT CAUSED IT. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING, AND IN MY OPINION EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THANKFULLY IN EITHER INCIDENT MY TODDLER SON WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE.
