The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact then took the vehicle to a dealer where she was informed that the engine had misfired. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that coolant had leaked into the engine cylinder which resulted in engine failure. The contact had the engine replaced by the dealer. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.

Engine rebuilt at 40k miles in 12/2018. Engine started burning the engine coolant at 90k miles 08/2021. The car while driving goes into a low power mode which stops the car from accelerating. Car is currently at the dealership awaiting parts for another engine rebuild replacing the same parts.

Engine is the 2 liter turbo version, when started the engine missed fired and ran rough which caused the check engine light to come on at ~58,000 miles. Took car to Roush Ford (Columbus Ohio) and dealer confirmed the misfire was caused by coolant leaking into engine. Dealer said a long block and related parts would be ordered to fix the problem. Now waiting for call from dealer to repair, no time frame given but they stated repair time would be long. Continue to drive car with engine light coming on and misfires at startup, hope car does not fail on freeway. Repairs may be covered by Ford but no info about rental car at Ford expense. Also have a 2015 Edge with same turbo engine which could fail the same way at any time as it has 80,000 miles.

mechanic told me that radiator fluid was leaking into the number 2 cylinder which could cause the car to lose power. motor is a 2.0 eco boost. car has 62000 miles. i believe this is a very dangerous situation going down a busy highway or actually anytime. ford has known about this problem for a long time but has failed to do anything. mechanic told me many 2.0 motors has this problem of anti-freeze leaking into motor and ford issued a message about the problem to ford dealerships and how to fix it. their should be a recall to fix the problem before something bad happens. thank you

Car was mysteriously losing coolant which would lead to overheating. We would have to fill the coolant tank two times a month. When brought to the mechanic to find the leak, none could be found. Check engine light would go on and off periodically. One day, the car randomly wouldn't start. Being told by the mechanic that there is a catastrophic engine failure and the whole motor and turbo would need to be replaced. He said he had the same year and model come in not 2 months prior with the exact same issues. Coolant was leaking within the engine, hence why it couldn't be found during normal tests. a 2017 motor with less than 100,000 miles should not be experiencing engine failure.

My 3 ? year old Ford Edge needs a new engine. It is a known problem with Ford Motor company and I believe there should be, if not a class action lawsuit against the company. My car is past the standard powertrain warranty and I declined extended warranty when I purchased the car. The check engine light came in. I took it to car dealer to figure out what was wrong and Kenny Ross Ford in Adamsburg, PA said I need a new engine. It is a 2017 Ford Edge with 73,000 miles. The local service center said it would be about 8-9k to fix it. There was not an issue with the vehicle reported under warranty. It sputtered a bit over the past three years, but I thought nothing of it. Normally I would just say it-??s my bad luck, however this is a known problem with Ford Motor company. When my wife dropped the car off the dealership, the gentlemen at the dealer said he hopes it isn-??t an engine replacement because it is common for that car. He didn-??t even look at the car before saying that and he knew exactly what was going on. My wife told me about it so I immediately looked online. (See link at the end of this message with similar complaints about this car) One owner said they contacted the Kentucky attorney general-??s office as well. Some of them said they had to replace the engine a second time after two years. Hundreds of people are reporting the SAME EXACT PROBLEM and it appears like the new motor they put eventually fails again. I feel that Ford Motor is purposefully hiding a design flaw and don-??t want to issue a recall because of the cost. I feel cheated and I want them to replace my motor at no cost or buy my car back from me at full KBB trade in value at excellent condition. I contacted them directly on Friday and informed them that I was contacting the attorney generals office. I told them I want an engine replacement and I should not be responsible for it. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t69477_ds1054339

On Monday August 30th 2021 while driving the warning light stating that the engine was overheating came on. The engine was stopped and coolant level was checked and shown to be low within the engine. Coolant was refilled and the engine seemed to stabilize. On September 3rd 2021 the same overheating censor came on again and the car was taken to a licensed Ford dealer for emergency maintenance. On September 7th 2021 the repair shop called and reported that the issue was a leak in the cylinder for the coolant in the engine and that the entire engine would have to be replaced. The cost of the repair was quoted as $7636 plus tax. The car is only just over 62,000 miles with the warranty period having ended at 60,000 miles.

Engine overheating due to a KNOWN issue with coolant leaking into the cylinders of the 2017 Ford Edge. Ford knows about this issue as I have seen it reported on several different sites. This should be recalled as my vehicle began to overheat while I was driving. This puts my wife and my family at danger. I had my car serviced at the Ford dealership since it was purchased and this issue was never brought up. So this is not a servicing issue it is an issue with the engine itself.

- Coon Rapids, MN, USA

In the Ford Edge Titanium model (I own a 2017), the 2.0L engine developed a crack in the long block between cylinders. This causes coolant to leak in the cylinders and the spark plug to seize. The engine will miss-fire and could stop running. This has happened to a multitude of Ford Edges and Escapes with the 2.0L engine. Ford is very aware of this issue.

- New Hill, NC, USA

Driving Edge with 62,000 miles on it and had a Check Engine Light later determined to be P303 (cylinder 3 misfire). I replaced coolant after finding the reservoir low. I noticed white smoke and misfiring engine at first start. The engine stuttered on the freeway and was unsafe. Ford Dealership determined a coolant leak caused this issue and will replace the engine minus my deductible on my extended service plan. As I understand it, this ecoboost engine is prone to this defect. I am only getting a rental car for 5 days on a job that will be much longer.

On way to beach on 6/6/2021 the check engine light came on and warning that car may be overheating came on, pulled to side of road until car cooled down. It ran hot but was full of coolant and not leaking. Took to to Moyer Ford in Foley, Al on 6/7/2021 with 65243 miles on car and was told would need new engine for this 2017 Ford Edge with less than 70,000 miles in it. Spent $5,500 for a new engine on a vehicle with less than $70,000 and 4 years old.

Coolant leaking into engine. Check engine light came on 07/11/2021. Took vehicle to local auto store for diagnostic test. Was told a mid ire in cylinder 2. Took vehicle to neighborhood auto shop on 07/12. Mechanic said it was the same issue to take it to the dealership due to the warranty. Brought my vehicle to dealership on 07/13. On the way to the dealership my vehicle died out on the expressway. After 6 hours of waiting, was told did not know what was causing the problem but needed to keep it. Was not provided another vehicle. I had to come out of pocket for a rental. Called on 7/20 and was told it might be my transmission and low engine coolant. Called again on 07/23, was told it was the battery. I called on 7/26 was told I need a new engine. There are complaints about this issue. Ford motor company knows about the issue. This issue with the vehicle could has caused serious injury or death to me or my family. The lack of communication is horrible.

Vehicle began exhibiting a loud rattle from the engine at idle. Took vehicle to dealer and they identified it as a cracked flex plate (flexplate). While vehicle was still drivable at the time, the flex plate had the potential to fully fail at any time, which would cause power loss to the wheels. Vehicle has 62000 miles, just outside of power train warranty, and expected to cost $5000 to $10000 to repair.

The engine block is cracked and fluid is leaking into the cylinders.

- Davie, FL, USA

The engine of my 2017 Ford Edge began to misfire intermittently in 2019. When it was finally able to be diagnosed in 2020, it was determined fuel had escaped around a spark plug. The spark plugs were replaced. Approximately one year later, the issue began again. Upon further inspection, it was found that a head gasket had gone bad. While there is not definite evidence of a coolant leak, it is suspected a leak may have initiated the issue. Research has also indicated the engine block is most likely cracked. While driving, the engine would often lull and stop accelerating. This happened several times as I attempted to drive down the interstate, being forced to exit the highway due to not being able to move with the speed of traffic. After the first repair of the spark plugs, the car seemed to drive fine, however, they shouldn't have gone bad within a year of install indicating a much larger issue. The car is unable to be driven. Even with replacing the head gasket, I do not feel the car would be safe with a cracked engine block. Nor should the motor have gone bad this soon.

Coolant leak into cylinder. Manufacture defect. Known issue by Ford but will not cover any replacement as vehicle is out of warranty by 7000 miles. A 2017 with 67000 driven by a grandma 5 mph under the speed limit should not need a new engine. Engine light comes on. Misfires. Puffs of white smoke. Didn-??t take to dealer as closest if 1/2 hour away. Took to local repair shop. They ran codes and said it is a known problem from Ford. NHTSA ID Number: 10162071 Manufacturer Communication Number: TSB 19-2208 Summary Some 2015-2018 Edge and 2017-2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape/MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a low coolant level, white exhaust smoke and/or a runs rough condition with or without an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

2017 Ford edge with 79,000 miles began to make a loud engine rattle, it almost sounded like someone had put a semi-engine in it overnight. No check engine lights ever appeared. Took it to a local shop and they came out to look at it and said it sounded really bad and I needed to tow it to a Ford House immediately. Once Ford took it apart they found that the flywheel had cracked, and it caused my crankshaft to crack as well. They're saying I need a complete engine replacement for $8,000. Big safety issue that no check engine light never came on with complete engine failure.
