On [XXX], my check engine light came on, followed by random shaking vibration after starting up the vehicle. I received code P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected. Autozone recommended to replace the ignition coil or spark plug. I replaced the ignition coil first and noticed there were oil inside of the hole and on the old ignition coil. I took my vehicle to Lafontaine Ford Lansing dealership in Lansing, Michigan. I was informed the oil was caused by valve cover gasket leaking. The cylinder misfire was caused due to coolant leaking into the cylinders. Two cylinders had already contained coolant. I was told this will result in engine failure and overheating eventually if I continue to drive the vehicle. Ford suggested to replace the long block and quoted me $11, $372.45 for the repair. My warranty expired at 100,000 miles. At the time of this incident, I was at 115,577 miles. This appeared to be a common issue/defect that Ford failed to disclose and refused to fix. I declined the repairs due to the exorbitant cost and left the vehicle parked. This defect (which Ford is at fault for) could have jeopardized my safety and other drivers on the road if it led to a potential fire while driving from Ohio.

I took my 2017 Ford Edge to a Ford dealer in town to have a diagnostic evaluation due to the "check engine" light coming up. The service associate notified me that the engine block needed to be replace due to coolant intrusion into the cylinders. Please see TSB 19-2208 for reference. There were no issues with the vehicle prior to the check engine light coming on. The date this occurred was 10-16-2024.

Check engine light came on. I took to dealer and was told I needed a new engine. Antifreeze was found in one of the cylinders. I had 89k miles on vehicle. This is a design problem and recall should be issued.

Check engine light came on in June. Had oil change at the dealership and check engine light did not come on until July. Dealership said a coolant intrusion in cylinder 2 was causing misfire and a new engine was recommended. This is a 7 year old car with 47K miles. Engine cost was 11+K and I contacted Ford Motor Co. for assistance on August 12, 2024. After numerous phone calls and forwarding documentation Ford says they will reimburse some of the cost. This process has taken over 60 days for me to continue to follow up, (return calls promised, but never happened), request to speak with a supervisor, explain the situation repeatedly to the same "Concern Team" member. Ford Motor Co. knows that engine failure or worse is possible, but does not take responsibility, This should be a MAJOR recall!!!!

Service engine light came on, it was taken to an independent service center. The code was a "misfire" to cylinder 3. When the spark plug was removed, it was wet with coolant. This means coolant is in my engine which can cause irreparable damage to my engine. It is over $9k for me to fix. This is a devastating design flaw. Also, the backup camera freezes, and the backup warning sytem stops when the camera freezes, which can cause an accident

I took my Ford edge to the service department of Pine belt Ford. They let me know that there was a crack in my engine block, causing coolant to leak into the engine.

The check engine light would intermittently light up and then go out for a few months prior to system failure. In the week prior to failure, we took the vehicle to AutoZone and used their engine code scanner to try to diagnose the problem. Based on the result of that, we first changed the spark plugs, which initially made the check engine light turn off for about a week, then it came back on. We then replaced the ignition coils, the check engine light never went out. A couple of days after that, while I was driving home from work one morning, the check engine light started to flash at me, which it had not done before, the car started shaking, and the RPM pin started dancing but would not exceed 2000RPM. We took it to the dealership where they diagnosed a coolant intrusion in cylinder 2 and told us this is a known problem with Turbo Boost engines from 2015-2018 and that there is currently a class action lawsuit underway to push Ford Motor Company to make it an official recall. They recommended replacing the engine or trading the vehicle in for a new car. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic, who confirmed the dealership's diagnosis and replaced the engine with a 2019 ReMan turbo boost engine, including brand new turbo hoses and gaskets. The total bill came to $8367.64

My 2017 Ford Edge developed a crack in the long block of the engine. This led to coolant leaking into the block and causing the engine to idle roughly. The service engine light was constantly on and the long block had to be replaced. When I asked the mechanic if the new engine assembly was the same, he said that Ford had beefed the new ones up because they new they had problems with the old ones. Total cost was over $5300

I have been told that 2017 Ford Edge has a leaking gasket and that coolant is seeping into the engine and mixing with oil. Ford is telling me I need to replace the whole engine. Cost is $9200. They are telling me not to drive it. I guess this has been a problem with many similar Ford engines. Not sure why this is not covered by recall. Basically I am going to have to trash 7 year old car with 85,000 miles on it. I am very disappointed that Ford is not stepping up. I am also surprised that the NHTSA hasnt extended the recall to this model.

2.0 eco boost motor. Intrusion of coolant into the 1st and 2nd cylinder. Superior warranty and Ford company refuse to take any responsibility of this issue. It is a known issue and it has cost me $6624 and it is hard enough to have to buy 2nd hand car but 3 days after this issue arises. As is vehicle. Ford should be liable. 111k miles at time of repair. Started as fuel issues per Starks where bought car to spark plugs and coils to motor and fly wheel.

I had my engine replaced last year due to cylinders misfiring and leaking coolant into the engine. 1 year later, the check engine light came on again. It turns out the new engine had the same problem and also had to be replaced. Coolant leaking into the engine could have caused the engine to get too hot and could have resulted in a fire. The dealer confirmed the issue was the same as what happened last year and has already replaced the engine (for a second time). This time it was covered under the new warranty, last time it wasn't. The dealer confirmed the issue when they inspected the car. This time, I only knew something was wrong when the check engine light came on, otherwise the car seemed to drive without issue.

My 2017 Ford engine had a catastophic failure and required replacement. Sequence of events: January 8 2024, Check Engine light came on and at 99350, the spark plugs were replaced to correct. March 12 2024, Check Engine light came on again at 100900, the coils were replaced to correct. March 19 2024, Catastropic Engine light came while driving on interstate 75, the engine block cracked and was replaced. While replacing the engine it was noted that the Power Take Off Asy-s was also defective and needed replacement. As things progressed it was learned that Ford knew of an engine design failure but did not issue a recall. Fortunately the interste highway engine failure did not cause an accidentbut easily could have. I am currently asking Ford for reimbursement of the enging and Asy-s.
