Ford recalled cars with same problem with the 2.0 engine but did not recall on edge which has the problem of coolent sepping into cylinders, engine light came

- Secane, PA, USA

I have a 2016 Ford EdgeTitanium with a 2.0 EcoBoost with 63,000 miles on it. In May of 2024 my check engine light came on. Verified coolant intrusion into cylinder 1 causing engine failure. Mileage on the car does not warrant an engine replacement. When Ford was contacted, both the original dealership and manufacturer, they took no fault in the matter. I was told there was a possibility of an engine fire if left as it was. I had to pay $9469.44 for a new engine! Many forums show this same issue happening with the same year/make/model. Ford should be held accountable for a known defect in the block that was not corrected through a recall.

check engine light came on, when assessed I was told it was a cylinder 3 misfire. Car began overheating while driving down the highway. Took it to a shop who performed block test > found combustion gases in cooling system caused by blown head gasket > replaced head gasket, timing chains & sprockets. After head gasket was replaced there was white smoke & misfire at cold start up - (been this almost ever since we replaced the head gasket). Shop then tested cooling system for combustion gases > found head gasket leaking due to cracking block at gasket surface > replaced complete engine assembly.

At 83,000 miles the car exhibited a P0301 check engine light for a misfire. Several troubleshooting steps were taken including new spark plugs, swapped ignition coils and then troublehooting shifted to checking for the known coolant intrusion issue. TSB 22-2229 was followed and after pressurizing the coolant system to 21 psi and inserting an endoscope visual confirmation of coolant leaking into the cylinder from the head gasket was discovered. This is a known issue to Ford that they have not acknowledged other than a TSB which advises to replacing replace the long block. We are going this route to the quote of $8,818.15. Due to Ford's change in coolant passage design they have created an engine with known issues that they are failing to warranty.

Known factory defect that Ford refuses to correct. Coolant is leaking into the gasket and causing engine failure. Mechanic said it would cost $6k to fix. Mileage on the car does not warrant an engine replacement at 89K miles. When Ford was contacted, both the original dealership and manufacturer, they took no fault in the matter. Many forums show this same issue happening with the same year/make/model. Ford should be held accountable for a known defect that was not corrected through a recall.

Three weeks ago my engine light came on. Took it in to Ford Services in Woodland Hills, California where they found a that there was a coolant intrusion in the engine. They proceeded to explain that this is a known issue with the type of engine due to a manufacturer defect. They were able to see that indeed this was the issue with my vehicle. But my VIN was not under the recall that is in place for other vehicles with the same engine defect. I called Ford and they said they could do nothing about it. They directed me here to make a complaint.

Issues started with check engine light with PO302 Cylinder Misfire code and rough engine starts. After having it looked at and doing a tune up, a week later there was no heat, the coolant warning light went on and temperature gauge was fluctuating while on the highway and had to pull off. Diagnosis by independent service center was the coolant leaking into the cylinder due to defective engine block casting. Researched Technical Service Bulletin 19-2208 and found this to be a common flaw. The fix is a new engine to cost more than $5,000. Vehicle has 80,000 miles. Ford offering no help due to it being out of warranty with no extended warranty.

While during my 2016 ford edge to my daughters house, started going up a hill and as I was attempting to accelerate my speed kept reducing. When I returned home my husband took my car to an independent mechanic who ran diagnostic test which showed cylinder 2 misfiring. Upon further inspection coolant level was low but no leaks were noted. Mechanic stated water pump needed to be replaced to prevent further possible damage to engine. Called local ford dealer to see if they could confirm diagnosis, we were told to diagnose they would charge 165. Unfortunately on a fixed income and cannot afford! After researching this problem online it appears this is a common issue with 2016 ford edge and while there was a recall issue on some 2016 ford automobiles with the same issues, ours is not included!? I believe this should be recalled as it appears this was a known issue with ford cars, especially the Ecoboost, which is what we have

In September of 2022, my flex plate on my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium broke. This is a major component of the engine and $2,000+ fix. I was told by the mechanic that other Ford Edge-??s were experiencing this, it was not a recall. Well, about a year and half later the flex plate broke AGAIN. This time with me driving down the road. The car completely stopped. I-??ve never been more afraid in my life of getting hit. Long story short, after bringing my car in AGAIN for this issue, I was told by the mechanic that though they can replace the flex plate free of charge because it was under warranty, it damaged other components in the engine to the point where it-??s inevitable that my ford will be undrivable soon. They also told me that there was a recall out for this issue so that I can be reimbursed for the previous work. So many others have experienced this. I called the Ford dealership to confirm the recall. However, they told me that it wasn-??t a recall but a -??Customer Service Satisfaction-?? program. Meaning it-??s not officially a recall but enough people have experienced it that they were reimbursing some drivers. This -??program-?? had an expiration date of 3-31-23. I had my car serviced the first time prior to this date but had no idea about this -??program-??. I received no notification. After my flex plate was fixed for the second time now, I submitted my receipts for reimbursement for the service I paid for the flex plate in 2022. I was denied because I was out of the time frame where they were giving refunds. Along with this my Ford continued to get worse because of engine damage to the point where I couldn-??t safely drive it anymore. I was forced to get an another vehicle and because of the condition it was in with the engine sound and damage, I got very little for it. I actually had to rollover thousands of the remaining loan balance to my new car loan. This absolutely needs to be a RECALL. I am so upset, confused and financially drained from all of this. The least that can be
