The check engine light gave codes P0302 & P0316 and I had noticed the coolant level being low. After doing some research, I see that Ford issued a TSB 22-2229 as the fix for the problem which includes a new engine block because of a poor design for the coolant flow causing the block to crack. This should fall on to Ford to repair rather than people that expect and need their vehicle to last.

I bought a brand new Ford Edge in 2017 with a warranty of 5 years and 60,000 miles. Several weeks ago, my car turned the engine light on and began having difficulty staying on during idle time and at stop signs. Immediately, I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed the problem of a leakage of coolant into the cylinders. They quoted me for an amount greater than the trade in value of the vehicle. From my online research, other customers are having the same leakage recurrent issue for Ford Edges between 2016-2023. The dealer could not tell me the reason behind this leakage causing the engine to overheat. This coolant leakage happening to a lot of their vehicles is putting individuals in danger of fire, explosion, or the vehicle stopping at any movement even while driving. There is absolutely no indication that this leakage was caused by poor maintenance or excessive wear and tear, and this is a recurring issue on their cars. I am afraid to drive the vehicle and cause an explosion or a fire on the road. However, Ford dealerships across the country are sending individuals on their way with defective engines without addressing the reason why new cars are having coolant leakage and having to replace the entire engine. It is Ford's responsibility to acknowledge defective parts and stop putting customers in danger. The component Ford is saying needs repair is the long block and it can be available for inspection if needed.

Check engine light keeps turning on and off, took it to Ford to get diagnosed. There-??s a coolant leak into the cylinder 2 causing a misfire and a cracked gasket. Whole engine needs to be replaced to fix this issue, over $6500 worth of repairs that I cannot afford and Ford won-??t help with costs. My car is still currently drivable but isn-??t safe to drive long distance as it could break at any time while I have myself and 16 month old child in the vehicle. I have a website with other Ford Edge owners having the same engine issue and needing to replace them. This is the link; [XXX] Please hold Ford accountable to announce a recall on the engine.

2017 Ford Edge Eco Boost - 75,300 miles (low) (purchased new) My vehicle had a rough start one morning, the next day the check engine light came on. I took it to the Ford Dealership and they said there was COOLANT INTRUSION in CYLINDERS #2 and #4 which had caused catastrophic engine failure. Full replacement is needed. This is a known issue, an engine defect the mechanic said. There have been HUNDREDS of complaints for this same issue. This isn't right. I only have 75,000 on this car, it should last 200,000 miles. I paid full price for the car but only get to use 37.5 % of the estimated usage. Doesn't seem like a fair trade.

- Georgetown, KY, USA

My 2017 Ford Edge has a coolant leak into cyllinder 4 of the engine, which requires an entire replacement of the engine (approx $8k cost + labor). This is a clearly known issue (just a few links below but many other issues on google) and should require a recall. It does not seem fair for there to be a known issue like this and to expect Ford customers to pay out of pocket.
