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.

Coolant intrusion

- Pecos, TX, USA

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.

- Texas City, TX, USA

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.
