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.

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.

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.

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.

Needed to constantly replace Coolant, was found to be leaking into cylinders.

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 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.

- Chatsworth, CA, USA

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.

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.
