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.

- Grayson , GA, USA

I purchased my Ford Edge about 4 years ago at approximately 25000 miles from Tom Ahl in Lima Ohio. It currently has 73989 miles. I have been faithful in my maintenance of the vehicle. I started having rough start that last only briefly and made an appointment with my mechanic. He said the code was cylinder 3 and changed the coil pack. This did not resolve the problem. He then changed the spark plugs. Still did not resolve the issue. I took it to the Ford dealership which determined there was coolant leaking into the cylinders and the engine needed replaced. After doing some research, I learned this is a very common problem with the 2017 Ford Edge Eco boost 2.0 engine. Ford has know about the problem since 2010 and corrected it in 2020. Engines have failed and caught on fire due to this issue. I feel an engine should last longer than 73989 miles and it is a defect in the way the engine was built and cooled. I am filing this complaint in hopes that a recall will be issued. The replacement is costing me over 8000 dollars. I don't want to turn off the code and dump on some one else and I also cant afford to just junk the vehicle. So I am hoping for a recall. Many people have had to deal with this and if Ford had made it known, I would have never purchased this vehicle.

- Fort Jennings, OH, USA

The 2017 Ford Edge is leaking coolant into the engine, and the dealership says that the only remedy is to replace the engine because it cannot be repaired but will need to be replaced. We bought this car brand new from the Ford dealership and did not expect to have a major repair cost so soon after the warranty ended. We have five more months to complete our car payments, and we also just purchased the Ford Maverick. This makes us feel uncertain about Ford. I also discovered that this problem has been known to Ford since 2010 and has not been corrected. We only took this car to the Ford dealership for service since we purchased it in 2017. This will cost us severl thousands to replace the engine. Warranty ended at 60 k and the vihecule is now at about 70k.

Vehicle engine runs extremely rough and shakes the vehicle after starting the engine. White exhaust smoke is also observed and coolant levels are steadily dropping over time. A pungent unpleasant odor is present near the exhaust as well. Vehicle has been experiencing this issue since June 2022 and has progressively gotten worse. The check engine light was illuminated so a OBD-II code reader was utilized on July 2, 2022. The diagnostic codes P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0316, P1026, and P1285 were found. I have reason to believe that it is related to the issues related to the technical service bulletin (TSB) 22-2229. I am concerned about safety regarding this issue. My immediate concern falls on the poisonous gases produced when the engine is burning coolant putting the driver and others near the vehicle at risk. In addition, the vehicle is unreliable and the issue may cause other parts of the engine to fail. I believe this is a Ford design flaw and they should be held responsible. A certified Ford dealership in Colorado will be running diagnostic tests after it has been dropped off for an appointment scheduled on 7/10/2023 at 8:45am MST.

When starting my car the engine would putter for a bit before running smoothly. The engine light eventually came on and I took it to Sunshine Ford in Newburgh, NY. They told me there were two misfires when they hooked it up to the computer and they found coolant in cylinder one when they took the spark plug out. They told me I needed a whole new engine on my car with only 85,000 miles. I found out there is a technical service bulletin on this exact problem for my car and ford knows this is an issue. It should be a recall.

When starting the engine it would putter a bit before running smoothly. The engine light came on and I took it to Sunshine Ford in Newburgh, NY and they told me there is coolant in cylinder one of my engine and I need a new motor. They said there is a crack in the engine motor causing this. There is a technical service bulletin on this exact problem for this make and model. My car only has 85,000 miles on in. There should be a recall for this engine.

As I approached 50,000 miles on my car, I started to notice the car rumbling when I turned it on. Increasingly, I also started to hear the sound of water rushing towards the front of the car upon starting the vehicle as well as occasionally when I would brake while driving. On a few occasions, it took me several attempts to start the vehicle, or I would need to hold the push to start button for a longer period of time to start the car. Shortly after reaching 50,000 miles, the check engine light came on. I brought it to my local mechanic who told me the problem was caused by a 3rd cylinder misfire, which could be due to a possible cracked gasket. He suggested that I bring it to the dealership where I purchased the car, and that they would be aware of the issue, as it is a known issue in the 2017 Ford Edge. After investigating the issue and running a test to confirm, a mechanic at the Ford dealership in Danbury, CT confirmed the issue was related to a cracked gasket that was leaking coolant into the engine. Coolant leaking into the engine is obviously a very serious issue as the lack of coolant can cause the engine to overheat, smoke, and can even result in an engine fire. Fortunately, this issue has not caused an accident, so the police, manufacturer, or insurance representatives have not inspected the vehicle yet to my knowledge. The car is available for inspection upon request at Colonial Ford in Danbury, CT and is currently awaiting a response from Ford Corporation. Unfortunately, the car's 5 year warranty expired in October 2022, nearly 10,000 miles short of the alternative warranty. A Google search reveals many people have had this issue with the 2017 Ford Edge. A recall should be issued to prevent serious injury and potentially death due to the faulty pieces that were used by the manufacturer to build this engine. I am trying to work with Ford to cover the cost of repairs, but so far they have been unwilling to help as the car is outside of the warranty period.

2017 Ford Edge SE, one owner vehicle, clean title, always maintained properly. The vehicle ran rough after startup and seemed to be lacking power during acceleration. A malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) did not display at that time. Recently, the vehicle has been running worse, blowing white exhaust smoke, especially after sitting overnight, and consuming coolant. The MIL finally displayed the morning of June 10th, 2023. The code is P0303. The vehicle has been diagnosed with a coolant intrusion issue on cylinder number three. A catastrophic failure of the engine, requiring removal and replacement of the long block which leaves the customer on the hook for thousands of dollars in parts and labor for a well know design flaw, which is apparent by the release of multiple technical service bulletins https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10162071-0001.pdf, https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10169807-0001.pdf, https://static.oemdtc.com/TSB/MC-10214126-0001.pdf, an updated engine design to replace the flawed engine https://fordauthority.com/2022/09/ford-2-0l-ecoboost-coolant-issue-and-fix-detailed-by-tech-video/, class action lawsuit https://www.fordecoboostlawsuit.com/, and countless forums and videos with affected customers.

The 2.0 Ecoboost engine of our 2017 Ford Edge overheated at @65K miles leaving my wife stranded and the vehicle in danger of catching fire. We first noticed a check engine light @60K with diagnostic code P0301 cylinder misfire detected, so I replaced spark plugs and check engine light went out. At @63K check engine light came back on so thinking it was a bad tank of gas I added a fuel treatment and again the check engine light went out. At @64K miles the check engine light once again comes on and before I could get it in to our Ford dealer to figure out what is going with the car my wife got message on dash engine was overheating. After towing it to Ford dealer for a diagnosis of the problem we found out it was due to a coolant intrusion between cylinders 1 and 2 which caused the engine to run out of coolant resulting in the engine to overheat. In 2017 Ford began producing the 2.0 Ecoboost engines with a new open deck block design with channels cut between the cylinders for engine coolant passage. Unfortunately, this new design was flawed because it does not provide adequate sealing area between the cylinders for a proper head gasket seal, which in turn, leaves the engine prone to coolant leakage into the cylinders causing premature engine failure. Ford is well aware of the faulty design and have since corrected it with a new engine block design which incorporates cross drilling the engine block for coolant passage instead of machining cuts through the area needed to provide a proper head gasket seal. Ford TSB 22-2229 addresses the the problem requiring the replacement of the faulty designed engine with a new long block assembly replacement manufactured in accordance to the new 2.0 engine manufacturing design specifications. This engine replacement procedure is very expensive at over $7000 especially when the customers 60K powertrain warranty has expired and Ford customer service will provide NO help assisting with the cost of fixing the problem.
