My wife was driving the car and had no heat. Once she got home we realized that the car was out of coolant. This has been found to be the known issue with this car. Coolant intrusion into the cylinder. This has the potential to overheat causing someone to pull over and get hit on the highway. Especially with the snow and low visibility conditions I-??m glad my wife was able to make it home without being injured. This car is only a 2017 with around 122,000 miles. I-??m writing this to hopefully save someone else in the future.

Took my car to my mechanic said that coolant was draining into my 2.0 ecoboost engine in cylinder 4 causing misfire, white smoke to come out of my pipes, sweet antifreeze smell in the cabin. Have to constantly dump coolant into the car so that it doesn't over heat.when i start the car in the morning it acts as if the car is going to die if I don't hit the gas. Contacted ford, they said it was my problem. I bought the car a year ago. It started at about 72000 miles.

My car had a check engine light on and I took it to the dealership to get it checked out and they said that coolant had leaked into cylinder 2 causing misfire and the whole engine needed replaced. The ford rep said it-??s a common issue know with that specific engine. Coolant is very flammable and could-??ve very easily started an engine fire.

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.

Hello, I have reported this issue before and am still looking for help. My 2017 ford edge 2.0 liter Ecoboost engine leaked coolant into the cylinders causing engine failure. Ford is unwilling to recall ford edge engines from 2015 - 2019 " It is my understanding that "Dive Brief Ford recalls over 90K vehicles for Ecoboost engine failures The recalled vehicles include six 2021-2022 Ford and Lincoln models equipped with either the 2.7L or 3.0L version of the engines." Published Sept. 5, 2024 My reason for including this article is, I am not reading there is a safety hazard, simply that there can be catastrophic engine damage. Well, I would think that the damage caused by coolant leaking into cylinders causes catastrophic engine damage, to the point of having to replace my engine. I can include numerous letters from people on the internet experiencing same problem. Please help us with recalling the 2.0 Ecoboost engine from Ford Motor Company. I will continue to beg for help as I had to replace my 2.0 Ecoboost engine. I am including another article I find interesting. AI Overview Learn more -?? Yes, Ford recalled the 2021-2022 Ford Edge SUV to fix a software error that could cause the backup camera to malfunction: Problem The backup camera may display a blank or distorted image, or a "camera not available" error message. This could reduce the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash. Ford says there have been no crashes or injuries related to this issue. A recall for a backup camera, are you kidding me " How did we drive cars for hundreds of years without backup cameras. You look behind you when backing up. I replaced an engine from overheating and power loss due to coolant leaking into cylinders and NO RECALL. Please I need your help. I am a widowed retired senior female on fixed income. This has caused me a great hardship. I will continue to ask for help, please. Thank you. I have records of repairs and costs.
