What happened with your engine" My engine malfunctioned unexpectedly at just 79,000 miles, despite no history of major engine problems. The final diagnosis showed a blown head gasket. Were there any warning signs beforehand? Yes-?"about two to three weeks before the malfunction, I received multiple cylinder misfire codes and a low coolant warning. I had both issues checked out and believed they were resolved at the time, as the car was running fine afterward. Did the car stop running completely? Yes. After everything seemed okay for a bit, the car suddenly wouldn-??t start. We ruled out the battery, as it had already been tested and was functioning correctly. Were there other warning lights or concerns? Yes. Right before a planned trip, my tire pressure light came on. I had it checked and everything looked fine. After about 10 miles, the light turned off, but it began flashing again intermittently, along with the engine light, even after restarting the car multiple times. What was the final outcome" After further inspection, it was confirmed that the root issue was a blown head gasket, which led to the engine failure.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the issue of coolant intrusion in my Ford vehicle. Despite maintaining the car regularly and following the manufacturer-??s guidelines, I have experienced repeated problems with coolant entering areas where it shouldn-??t, which has caused significant engine performance issues and potential long-term damage. As a Ford customer, I expected a higher standard of quality and reliability, especially regarding critical components like the cooling system. I am disappointed that this issue has not been addressed proactively by Ford, and I urge the company to investigate this matter further and offer a resolution to prevent future occurrences for other affected customers.

Tony Betten & Sons Ford, Grand Rapids, MI, replaced a leaking plastic oil pan 03.14.2025, at mileage 61,182. There were no warning lamps or messages and no incidence of damage. We noted continuous oil spots on the garage floor, even after a 01.13.2025 oil and filter change. We were concerned that this oil leakage would compromise engine lubrication, possibly leading to engine failure. We have purchased 3 Edges, the first a 2008 model went over 200,000 miles without oil leakage. We currently own a 2022 Ford Edge ST. It is surprising for an oil pan to spontaneously leak at 60,000 mileage. After our excellent 200,000+ mileage experience with the 2008, we expected similarly spectacular operation from the 2016.

I purchased a 2016 Ford Edge and it has been one problem after another. This particular problem, and the last straw, has to do with coolant leaking from my car. After reading several complaints over a period of years it seems to be the same issue with many owners of the same make and model, a crack in the cylinder or motor (Long Block). I also read that Ford is aware of this problem and nothing has been done towards resolving the situation. This cannot be an ongoing issue. What will it take before a recall is made? After paying for several repairs since purchasing the car, I have exhausted all of my resources and can not afford an engine replacement. Will someone please, please, please, hear our complaints and offer a resolution that will not cost us an arm and a leg as a result of the manufacturer's negligence. I am very disappointed in FORD.

Coolant was leaking into cylinder #1 in the engine. The engine consequently had to be replaced, and a Ford dealer replaced it. Coolant was leaking into the engine because of a design defect in the engine that Ford has known about for a long time. See Ford Technical Service Bulletin 22-2229. The design defect is a safety risk. My vehicle would not pass Pennsylvania-??s vehicle safety inspection required annually by Pennsylvania law because of the coolant leaking into the cylinder in the engine due to the design defect. Information about Pennsylvania-??s vehicle safety inspections required by Pennsylvania law is at [XXX]. -??Pennsylvania requires vehicle safety inspections to ensure that vehicles are maintained for safe operation. Safety Inspections can prevent vehicle failure on the highways and crashes that may result in injuries or death.-?? Id. Coolant leaking into an engine cylinder(s) could result in engines overheating due to low or no coolant, thereby endangering the safety of passengers, other drivers, and others. Vehicle fires because of engine overheating while the vehicle is parked in a home garage could result in a house fire, thereby endangering the safety and lives of persons in the house and neighbors. Additionally, coolant leaking into an engine cylinder(s) results in excessive smoke/emissions when the vehicle is started, thereby negatively affecting air quality and the safety and health of everyone who breathes the contaminated air. The clouds of smoke produced by coolant burning off when the vehicles are started in a driveway or parking lot could obscure the vision of other drivers or pedestrians or distract them, thereby endangering their safety, the safety of the vehicle occupants, and the safety of others. Ford paid about 20% of the engine replacement cost, and I had to pay the rest, which was $7,037.08 including $400.02 PA sales tax.

Started hearing like a water sloshing noise when stopping or accelerating. I took it to the shop and coolant was low no apparent leak of any kind. They put coolant in and within a few weeks I started hearing the water noise again added coolant again and check engine light came on. Code read misfire on cylinder 1. Check engine light would pop on and then go off. Started rough cranking took it to the shop and need a new engine. 57,000 miles on this car. Car had been serviced at or around every 3,000-3,500 miles. Started doing research and this particular engine has been recalled but not in the make and year of my car. I really feel I should not have to pay nearly 6,000 for my engine to be repaired when so many issues with this particular engine I called Ford Service to make appt for recalls and told the Service Dept my issues and she off the start stated I needed a new motor without even seeing the car. How did she already know this? Because the motors have been having issues so this wasn-??t the first time they have dealt with this particular engine
