My 2017 Ford Edge has a 4 cylinder EcoBoost Engine. My vehicle warning light came on or about June 20, 2023. I took it to a local mechanic. He advised that it was low on engine coolant, so he refilled it and advised that this type of engine has a known problem with coolant leaks. I next took the vehicle to Sunbelt Ford in Sylvester, GA. The dealership advised that there was nothing wrong with my vehicle. On or about July 24, 2023 I started my vehicle and heavy smoke emitted from the engine and the exhaust. The check engine warning light also came on. I turned off the vehicle and had a local mechanic inspect it. The mechanic advised that I had experienced catastrophic engine failure, and was fortunate that I was not driving at the time. I soon found out that Ford is involved in numerous lawsuits and complaints regarding this exact issue with this exact engine. It-??s wildly unethical and dangerous that Ford has not advised all owners of the known problems with this engine. Additionally, I-??m 73 years old living on Social Security. It-??s $6500 to replace my defective engine as quoted by Robert Hutson Ford in Moultrie, GA.

My 2007 Ford Edge / 2.0 Ecoboost engine model (with only 69,000+ miles) had a distinct unsettling shake upon starting, and would occur occasionally during regular driving - causing Check Engine light to appear. Ford dealership inspected and verified that "coolant leaked into the 3rd cylinder - causing a crack in the engine - and only remedy is a total engine replacement." Obviously now an unsafe vehicle to drive. Upon my research / lengthy investigation, I found hundreds of similar failures with this model (to include 2015-2018 Ford Edges with 2.0 Ecoboost engine). Models with this engine version will eventually fail - usually around the 70,000 mile average landmark (which is ironically slightly out of from Ford's 60,000 warranty coverage - rendering this "not covered" by Ford) - and Ford has apparently known this for years. Ford's choices / options offered to me (and upon reading, hundreds of others) center on my being responsible for paying for the replacement - making me responsible for the cost (quoted price from the dealer was around $8200) on a vehicle with only 69,000+ miles on it - with a flawed engine design that Ford has been aware of. Was told (in similar if not exact terms) that they aren't responsible for the replacement cost because "There is no Recall on this", and "you are out of warranty" (but by less than 10,000 miles). Or another option is "you can trade it in" (for substantially below what it used to worth). In addition to my being responsible for the cost, the Edge is now worth less than what it was, as if I resell it, I'll need to disclose the problem - and engine replacement. In summary, this is not only unacceptable on the surface, but morally reprehensible. A recall on this (and other similar models), making Ford responsible to costs regarding this well known engine flaw is the right course of action not on for myself, but for the (at least) hundreds with the same problem - and thousands that will eventually have the problem. Thank you.

Engine and combustion chambers cylinder 2 and 3, yes it's available for inspection Sudden overheat and engine failure on road can lead to a serious accidents, also with coolant being leaked in to the combustion chamber could lead to explosions or implosions with the pressure conditions, also there was lot of white, blue smoke outside which was unbreathable Yes, coolant leakage to the combustion chamber is observed by a independent service center No, not at the moment, however this was observed in many 2015-2018 Ford Edge models according to the manufacturer and also said by the independent service center They appeared with the failure but not prior to the failure

I took my 2017 Ford Edge to the Dave Arbogast Ford when my check engine light came on. The dealership stated I need a new engine because coolant was leaking into cylinder 2 causing the misfire which led to the check engine light. After doing some research this is a well known issue with 2015-2018 Ford Edges. A service announcement was put out by Ford https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10162071-0001.pdf on their website (posted June 26, 2019) yet this was never stated to me by the Dave Arbogast Ford dealership when I bought the card in July 2020. My safety and my children's safety has been put at risk due to this issue. This causes the car to potentially overheat and not be used.

The vehicle has a blown head gasket on its 2.0L ecoboost engine. It has all the same codes as the other vehicles that are affected by the recall #20V469000. It is a 2017 Ford Edge. It is loosing coolant into cylinder number 3. I'm 8000 miles out of my warranty and they want $9600 to fix the issues. I can't understand why this vehicle is not part of the recall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Coolant leak which is causing engine to overheat. This is a common problem with Fords but my VIN is not included. Has been confirmed by an independent service center. It-??s a safety issue that could cause the vehicle to overheat and disable. I keep having to add coolant at times on side of road.

Engine light- P0301 Misfire Cyl # 1 Was told we needed a new engine at 59,351 miles.

- Perrinton, MI, USA

Check engine light came on and the code was saying cylinder 3 was misfiring. After numerous tests it was determined coolant was leaking into the cylinder from a crack in the block. Doing my own research I found this is a known issue for this make and model and year of car, however FORD has refused to recall it. There is a TSB about it but nothing else. I had to pay $10,000 for the shop to put in another engine. Two days after I got it back the check engine light came on again only this time it said cylinder 2 was misfiring. Took it back to the shop that put in the engine and it turns out this engine also had a crack in the block and was leaking coolant into the cylinders. I am now without a car again and have to wait for another engine to be put in. However there is no guarantee this one will not have the same issue come up.
