I own a 2017 Ford Edge. I noticed white smoke and check engine light came on. I took the vehicle to a dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with coolant intrusion and engine failure. I was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. Failure was approximately 80,000 There are thousands of ford cars reported with this engine issue: Other affected models include the 2015-2018 Edge, 2017-2019 Escape, and 2017-2019 Lincoln MKC and MKZ I am worried on engine overheating, misfires and car stops suddenly in traffic and case a crash, and even fires I see Ford Fusion engines have been recalled I don't understand why the other models are not recalled also.

Brought car with 54k miles. Went to dealer 1 month before warranty ended. I was told there were specific problems which I fixed. I later went back a few months later and was told it-??s the battery. The Check engine light came back on a month later. I was told Coolant is leaking into the engine requiring you to need new engine. It-??s dangerous because car won-??t go over 20 mph. Even if you push gas you can-??t go faster. Smoke coming out of exhaust. Smell is toxic. There is no explanation as to why this happens.

It appears that just 85000 miles this engine is starting to consume engine coolant. I am afraid this is going to lead to major engine repair costs.

On 2 occasions my 2017 Edge car would not start. Check Engine light came on and I took it to my local mechanic. I was told blown gasket and coolant in engine. Vehicle has been running perfectly with only 62,000 miles. Warranty has expired so now I have to pay $9,000 for new engine. Ford needs to recognize this has occurred repeatedly in the Ford Edge and proceed with a recall. Ridiculous that this would happen in a well maintained vehicle with low mileage.

Putting the car in drive and would drive a few feet suddenly, all the panel lights ( check engine, abs, hazard control, electric parking brake, ) literally every light on the panel would turn on and engine would stall causing the steering to become hard to control. This happened 3 times within a 2 week span then, I brought it into dealership and was told my coolant had leaked into my cylinders causing the engine to become ruined and that-??s why I was having the problems with the engine and steering. My car has only 59000 miles.

Our 2017 Ford Edge had 67,000 miles and it developed a cracked block. We needed to replace the long block engine. It turns out Ford issued a Technical Service Bulletin number 19-2346 in 2019. This bulletin applies to all Ford Edges produced from 2015 - 2018 and other Ford models. Even though this problem was experienced by thousands of these vehicles the owners were never advised. This is a major engine defect that could cause many dangerous conditions including engine fires. The cost of Ford's recommendation to fix this problem was well over $10,000. This engine failure was a clear defect that Ford should have and still needs to issue a recall and to take full responsibility. I know you have received similar complaints from many Ford owners with the same problem. Please take action to cause this to happen and order Ford to compensate those already affected by this defect. Thank you.
