2017 Ford Edge, purchased this vehicle brand new, 2 days ago was driving and car became overheated suddenly, temperature attempted to decrease via the power and within 1 hour it was in the Ford Dealership being looked at. I was told it had an engine coolant leakage problem that would require a complete replacement of a brand new long block engine; approximately $10k in repairs. I did not have extended warranty on this vehicle and the manufacturers warranty covered 5yr/60k miles. I've found thousands of other consumers with this exact issue. Ford knows it's a defect in these engines but refuses to make it an official recall. My car that was worth approx 10-13k is now worth nothing and will be sold at auction. Shame on you, Ford.

My vehicle began overheating suddenly. I took it to a mechanic and he says it-??s a coolant leak into the cylinders and may require head gasket replacement or full engine replacement. Ford has a TSB on this very issue that they are well aware of. The TSB number is 22-2229. I spoke to a local dealer and they told me because my vehicle has 68000 miles on it, I-??m over the 60k warranty from the manufacturer. I-??ve only had this vehicle for 2 years and I only drive about 15 miles a day. Why is this not been issued as a mandatory recall for these vehicles? I can-??t afford a new engine on a car I still owe $18000 on. I know that there have been several complaints about this from other owners. Please help to escalate this to an actual recall.

Coolant leaked into cylinder. Ruined engine left at dealership after being replaced with a new long block. The vehicle could have stopped running at any point. Several Ford Edge SUVs have had this exact problem. My Ford Edge was only inspected by the Ford dealership service department via diagnostic testing. The check engine light came on and I took the earliest service appointment available. Previous to the check engine light illuminating I did notice a slight hesitation in acceleration at approximately 30 mph.

My check engine light came on and I had it tested and it was a #2 misfire. Along with the check engine light was a rattling in the front end of the vehicle, when I would start the car. I changed the spark plugs, then the check engine light went away. Weeks later my check engine late came on again with the same rattling but this time it was worse. Within two days my engine over heating light came on. Myself and a friend checked for fluids and all my coolant was empty. We filled it up and then the next morning it was below the minimum fill line again. I took it into Ford dealership. When they looked into the check engine light they found coolant intrusion in Cylinder number 3 due to a faulty block.

We have a 2017 ford edge that has developed a coolant intrusion in cylinder 2 which the dealer said will cost $9800. The vehicle only has 72,000 miles on it and I-??ve seen several reports of this same problem on the NHTSA website. Has this problem had a recall or possibly a future recall? I realize there is not one on our particular vehicle and was wondering why. We are concerned for our safety as we are seniors and if the engine fails what we will do.
