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.

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.

[XXX] Recall ON YOUR VEHICLE, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING IS DAMAGED OR MISSING. my car can't be used for ride-sharing, which is how I pay for the car. I've been informed that my vehicle has an open safety recall due to recall, which prohibits me from sharing on ride-sharing platforms. This is causing me financial hardship. Also, if it's unsafe for ride-sharing, it's unsafe for my family and me to ride in. I was informed to visit the NHTSA website to search vehicle VIN for safety recalls. The local dealership cannot fix my car for there are no solutions. I need to find a fix so I can resume working and making payments. If not I need to sell this car or return the car to Ford.

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.
