Coolant is leaking into my cylinders causing misfire and potentially hazardous issues to my vehicle. There are only 69,000 miles on my vehicle. It is low mileage by industry standards. This will be more than a $9,000 repair which is devasting to our finances. This is a design flaw, a manufacturer flaw and it is dangerous both physically/mechanically and financially to the owner.

The vehicle engine has a design flaw, the head gasket on all Ford eco-boost engines made in 2017 will inevitably break do to an unsecure seal to the top of the engine, this is because of the newly implemented cooling channels in between each cylinder, causing the inevitable failure of the engine

The motor has failed and possibly could be a manufacturing defect according to the mechanic. He has several instances of this model of car that the motor failed prematurely costing owners thousands of dollars to install a new motor! Also, stated that the car should be immediately not driven due to the defect in the motor and could fail and even lock up or overheat putting the driver in danger due to possible fire.

My edge has been experiencing flex plate issues since 106,000 miles. It-??s considered a CSP through ford there is a recall but my specific car -??isn-??t affected-?? this needs to be recalled so I can get it fixed. If this cracks all the way it could cause a fatal accident and there would be law suits. This is a huge safety concern, and needs to be pushed further as my car has the same type of flex plate as the other edges that have been recalled.

I took my Ford Edge in for a routine oil change in March 2024 and I received a call from the dealership that my car had an internal coolant leak. The technician told me this was a well known issue with these Ford engines and I need to replace the engine and it would cost approximately $10,000. I have seen that other cars with engines like mine have been recalled but my VIN was not on the recall list. I called Ford and was told they could not help me but I should save all receipts in case it gets added to the recall list. I believe that this should be taken care of by the Ford Corporation as it is a known engine defect and not caused by standard use of the vehicle.

Car was at a red light. Started to pull into traffic and the car stalled which could have resulted in an accident. We have since found out that "coolant intrusion" is a known issue with "Ecoboost" engines by Ford.

Long block failure causing coolant intrusion into cylinders. Ford has Tsb out on

- Humble, TX, USA

Approximately one week after seeing the CHECK ENGINE light appear, I had a Ford dealership service center examine my vehicle and do diagnostic testing at a cost of $180. I was told coolant was leaking into cylinder 1. They informed me that TSB 22-2229 detailed the problem, and the only solution was a long block replacement. I received a second opinion from an independent service center at a cost of $130. The answer was the same. Other than the warning light, the only evidence of a problem was some rough running of the engine on start-up on occasion.

Engine light started flashing 5mins after driving on a busy freeway. Had to pull over to allow engine to cool with children in the car. Topped off coolant. Over the next week, the leak continued. Took the car to my mechanic who was unable to replicate the issue. Warning lights continued to flash and coolant continued to leak. Took car back to mechanic who advised engine block intrusion common to Fords. Advised TSB for certain Ford vehicles (2017 Ford Edge 2.0 included) plagued by a defect that causes coolant to leak into the engine cylinders, leading to a host of problem. Reported the problem to Ford who advised me to bring the car to run diagnostics (for a $200 fee). Confirmed engine long block issue and $9700 to fix.

My daughter was driving me in my 2017 Ford Edge AWD. We didn-??t get very far and noticed a burning smell and a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust; there was no engine light or warnings on the display. The burning smell got intense and my daughter was having burning sensations in her nose and eyes. She immediately turned the car around and went back to my house. After turning off the ignition, we still saw smoke coming out of the exhaust and was afraid the car was going to catch fire and possibly damage my carport. It did not catch on fire, but we were very scared by the incident and it took awhile for my daughter to recover from the smoke issues. The car was towed to the dealership from where I purchased the car and they said that the antifreeze had been pushed through two cylinders and it cracked the block. The remedy is replacing the engine. Now we found out that this problem has been known by Ford Motor Company on three different engines that they manufacture. They did not send any kind of notification of the danger or make any recalls. Due to their not notifying consumers of a fire or engine failure risk, I feel Ford Motor Company is putting the safety of consumers in jeopardy.

Our 2017 Ford Edge is equipped with an EcoBoost engine. This engine has a defect that causes coolant to leak into the engine-??s cylinders which can cause corrosion, oil dilution and contamination, and engine failure. This defect creates a safety risk because the lack of coolant created by the leaks causes overheating and can result in the cylinder head cracking, total engine failure, and/or engine fires. We took our vehicle to the Ford dealership on 7/17/24 because it was misfiring and losing power while driving. The dealership informed us that the coolant had in fact been leaking into the engine and we would need a new engine rebuild at a cost of $8,200. There were no warning lights and nothing else to indicate any issue was present until it was too late.

My check engine light came on, started idling rough, code said spark plugs, vehicle would not start so changed spark plugs and one was gunked up, vehicle started but clouds of white smoke coming out of back and coolant low. Coolant flowing into oil. This is apparently the issue with the 2.0 EcoBoost engine that should have a recall! Only 127000 miles.
