We are Canadians live in Calgary, AB Canada. We have a 2016 ford egde. There was an engine warning sign popped up when we had a road trip in US days ago. We also noticed that the car chokes when cold start with white sweet smoke come out. We had the car checked up by a ford dealer at coos bay, Oregon. Here is the diagnostics - dtcp0303 stored related to cylinder 3 misfire - found engine coolant level low - topped off coolant and pressure tested system - found pressure to bleed off abnormally - no external leaks observed - removed aprk plug and bore scope cylinder - verified coolant intrusion in cylinder 3 also found signs of burning coolant on spark plug - recommended repair is long block replacement. We cancelled our unfinished trip and struggled to drive 2000km back home(low speed, keep checking/adding coolant and engine oil). The local ford dealer quoted me 10k CAD to replace the long block. Our car is not even 8 years old at 130K kms. I called Ford Canada and was told they are sorry but the car is out of warranty and no recalls. Although there is a TSB#22-2229 which proves this is a known issue to Ford. I spent some time search on line found many ford owners had same experience and referred by them to post a complain here.

Coolant is leaking into the engine. My car unexpectedly and very suddenly started overheating while driving, without any warning that coolant levels were low. The car was inspected by the dealer's service center, and they confirmed this issue, stating the only solution is to completely replace the engine. The check engine light on the car did come on, but the code was related to an engine misfire. I had spark plugs and an engine coil replaced, but after a few days, the check engine light came back on with the same code of an engine misfire. One day while driving, the temperature gauge warning came on, saying that the temperature of the car was too high and to stop driving immediately. At this point, I checked under the hood and saw that the coolant overflow tank was completely empty.

My Ford Edge was running rough and white smoke was coming out of the exhaust. Tge engine light came on my dashboard. I took it to MasterTech in Dimondale MI on July 5, 2024 and they said coolant is leaking into the 4th cylinder. He said Ford recommends an engine replacement for the issue. He said Ford knows about this issue with the ecoboost engine. I have 88,000 miles on my car and shouldn't need a new engine. I have not taken it to the dealership because they charge to look at the car. They said they know about the issue but there is not a recall and it would cost $9,000 to fix. I have been informed that it is possible that the car will catch on fire.

My Edge has 41,000 miles on it and the engine light came on. I took it to my local dealership and they found that it has coolent intrusion and therefore I need a new engine. The dealership told me there is a TSB# 22-2133 (2.0L EcoBooser - Coolant in Cylinders) for this issue but Ford never issued a recall. I did my own research to find out that there is a class action lawsuit in the Eastern District Court for this exact issue. I contacted Ford Corporate and they said they know nothing about this issue but would help expedite the repairs of my vehicle. The TSB I looked up is directly from Ford so I am a little preterbed they aren't taking responsibility for this. Engines and rental cars are not cheap.

Faulty engine design leads to head gasket failure, engine misfire and stall. Engine stall can cause loss of vehicle motive and braking by loss of vacuum assisted braking. Dealer just completed service on this vehicle and reported the failure after completing repair on another defective part, the flexplate assembly. After completing repairs advised it likely has coolant intrusion issue. Did not inform customer about the TSB showing FORD determined the block is defective and should be replaced at customer cost. Ford has known about this issue since about 2011. These engines need to be recalled. Repair data available to mechanics and on popular video sites show that Fords updated block removes two water paths that interfere with head gasket seating on 2015 - 2019 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost engines. This is a known manufacturer defect that puts owners and occupants in uneeded danger due to Ford's refusal to recall and rectify these engines. There are multiple reports of these engines failing for this issue with as few as 30,000 miles. This engine is also installed in multiple other Ford and Lincoln vehicles including focus, fusion, taurus, Escape, edge, mkz, mkc, and nautilus.

I'm filing a complaint regarding my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, which required two engine replacements due to a defect causing coolant intrusion into the cylinders.The engine failed due to coolant leaking into the cylinders, a problem diagnosed and confirmed by Ford technicians. Both engines are no longer in the vehicle, but documentation is available upon request. My safety and the safety of others were put at significant risk on two separate occasions. The first engine failed at 67,000 miles, leading to the engine blowing while I was driving on the highway. This nearly caused an accident as the vehicle suddenly lost power. The second engine, which was a replacement from a 2018 Ford Edge with the same 2.0L EcoBoost engine, also failed in a similar manner at 87,000 miles, again while I was driving on the highway. On this occasion, I was left stranded on the side of the highway in the desert for 7 hours in over 100-degree weather, further endangering my safety. The problem was diagnosed and confirmed by a Ford dealership on both occasions. The first failure was diagnosed as coolant leaking into cylinder 3, causing the vehicle to misfire and eventually leading to the engine blowing. The second engine was inspected by a Ford repair technician during a recall service, where the same coolant leak issue was diagnosed. Less than two months after this diagnosis, the second engine also blew while I was driving. Ford service technicians inspected and confirmed the problem both times. Repair and diagnostic reports are available. The first indication of the problem with the original engine was a check engine light so I took the vehicle to Ford. The dealership diagnosed the issue as coolant leaking into cylinder 3, causing misfires. Despite this diagnosis, the engine failed before I could arrange for the recommended long block replacement. The second engine began exhibiting the same symptoms-?"misfiring and coolant loss-?"shortly before it also failed.
