My check engine light was on and my car would shake and vibrate upon staring the engine. I was running low on coolant when I shouldn-??t be despite no signs of leaking on the ground. I took it to an authorized shop by Carfax, it-??s Autotech in O Fallon, MO. They ran diagnostic tests and the codes were P0302 and P0316, which apparently are common issues with Ford Edges between 2015-2018. The shop owner said it-??s normal for these cars even with low miles to end up needing a new engine bc of how Ford built them to where there are cylinder misfires causing coolant to leak into the engine causing engine failure. I asked why there were no recalls on this known issues and he assumed it must be bc no one died yet. I have since been reading thread after thread online of customers having this same issue and needing a new engine some even after only 25,000 and 50,000 miles. I bought my car used less than a year and a half ago with 59,000 miles on it and was not offered a warranty, which I know no why, they probably knew of the issue and the dealership didn-??t want to be on the hook to cover a new engine. So now I-??m stuck with an unsafe car to drive or shell out $9000 on a new engine that will fail like others who had theirs replaced only to have the same thing happen. I love my car and don-??t want to give it up. How can Ford take ownership of their poor design flaw that is causing this to happen and put us at risk of being stranded or worse when our engine blows" Ford tough-??how so? These cars are worthless after only 25,000 for some. For me I only got 15000 miles out of my car that I still owe $17,000 on and now I-??m told I have to pay almost $10,000 to replace the engine for their design flaw that they have known for years is a major issue? There are lawsuits for this issue. There is class action in California for this issue. How can they get away with this" I-??m stranded right now and I can-??t afford to fix it and nor should I have to. Ford should be held accountable, not me.

Purchased a 2018 ford edge new I-??m early 2019. The car has 65k miles and needs a new engine due to coolant leak into cylinder 3. This should be a recall item and Ford refuses to stand by its product. An engine with miles this low should not need replacement.

- Temperance, MI, USA

Ford Edge using coolant, temperature light turning on. Scanner indicates misfiring on cylinder #3. TSB report shows ongoing issue with a cracked cylinder, #3, causing the misfiring and coolant use. Vehicle has only 77K miles on it and maintained by dealership. This is a on going issue that apparently can only be resolved by replacing the engine.

- Mays Landing, NJ, USA

Bought used Feb. 2023. End of March cylinder 3 misfire code pops when the check engine light comes on. Replaced all spark plugs and 1 engine coil for cylinder 3. On off until Aug. 9th when the light came back on and I took to Ford Dealership. Paid for a diagnosis and the next day they called and said the coolant is leaking into the engine and this is a -??known issue-?? and I will need a new engine. I have barely put 3,000 miles on top of the miles it came with. Should not have to pay for a new engine with a -??known issue-??!

Car just hit 100000 miles. Engine light came on. Took to Barnes Crossing Ford in New Albany. After inspection was in formed coolant was leaking into engine and block needed to be replaced.The car did not overheat but the coolant leaking into engine could have ignited a fire due to other chemicals present such as oil, and other fluids needed to operate motor. TSB was already issued regarding this defect as well as multiple complaints and a recall on escapes and fusions that ended in 2022. Because of lack of investigation and safe recall this problem continues to pose a danger to myself and others. Motor has to be replaced at the nominal fee of $6500. The problem continues to exist.

We were sent a recall notice from Ford (Program 22N12-Flexplate) in September 2022. Our vehicle was in the service department for an engine replacement in August of 2022. I asked my local dealer to make repair before I left for a trip from Lewisville, TX to Athens, Ga for our granddaughter's graduation. They would not because the FLEXPLATE must be broken. On our return trip home, we pulled into our hotel in Laurel, Ms. There was loud noise from the engine compartment. Went to the local dealer and he said come back in the morning and they would check it out. They found the flexplate broken and the dealer said the vehicle was unsafe to drive. Thank God it broke in town rather than on the lonely interstate at night. We believe this program should be completed immediately before you are left alone on the side of the interstate. In addition, we incurred extra expenses that Ford is not reimbursing us.

- Belleville, MI, USA

The vehicle is a 2018 Ford Edge and has less than 100k miles on it. Car was leaking coolant and we took it to the dealership where they told us it was leaking coolant into cylinder 4 and was possibly a cracked head. They had an adjuster, from the warranty company, inspected the vehicle and the adjuster stated we needed a new motor on 2/20/23 then 3 days later, 2/23/23, the warranty company contacted the dealership and told them they revoked the engine swap. They stated it must be damaged by an internally lubricated part. The dealership also put in an appeal to the denial. We've been having a constant battle with the warranty since February 4th. My car was in shop for 36 consecutive days and has yet to be fixed. The vehicle can overheat due to the constant leak of coolant and catch on fire or potentially blow up the entire motor while operating. We have been in emotional distress, extreme financial distress and its attempted child endangerment. I take my vehicle to and from work and to pick up my 2 year old son from daycare. If the engine was to blow, we could crash or get stuck and it could be fatal to both my child and I and my husband if he is driving.

My vehicle is not listed under the recall 17S16(2) this is an expansion to recall 17V-427 yet my car has been sitting for 4 months at a FORD dealership because the TORQUE CONVERTOR that is not performing IS ON BACKORDER. Why is FORD being allowed to string me the consumer along until they decide that this is a big problem? I received a Service Notice (Customer Satisfaction Program 22N12 stating that they are aware of a problem with the flexplate, transmission fluid pump and Torque convertor but no RESOLUTION. I cannot AFFORD to keep making car payments for a car I cannot drive. I am beyond frustrated and FORD will not communicate with me.

My vehicle only has 77K miles on it and is already needing an entirely new engine due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. We discovered this after replacing all the spark plugs in the vehicle and the check engine light not disengaging. You should not have to replace an entire engine with only 77K miles. This is a known issue with FORD referencing two bulletin's - the first bulletin #19-2346 and now with bulletin #22-2133. They are refusing to cover the repairs 100% and expecting the consumer to pay 40% of the cost of their known issue of a $10K repair ticket. It also clearly states in the recent bulletin that the MIL may or may not engage with this issue. If we had know that this was an issue with this vehicle inside the 5 year/60K mile powertrain warraty which would have covered the repairs 100% we would have taken care of it then. The MIL was never engaged and provided any indication that this was going on. It was discovered after the MIL engaged at 77K miles and we took it in for service and had all spark plugs replaced costing almost $300 in repairs just to discover that did not resolve the check engine light to stop illuminating. This vehicle has been maticulously maintained since taking ownership of it in 2018. All service records are available if needed.

I've bought a 2018 Ford Edge SEL July of 2021 at Zech Ford (Kansas), it had just a little over 50k miles, within the first month of ownership, engine light comes on (code P0301), I took to the dealership and they replaced the oxygen sensor, everything seemed fine since. This last May, the flex plate cracked, I took to Greenway Ford dealership (Florida) and paid $3,085.36 for the repair, within just an hour of having the car back, engine light comes on (P0301), I immediately took the car back, they kept the car for the weekend, replaced the stream O2 sensor and charged me $105.24, they only charged me for the part, they waived the labor fee since I just had a $3k repair. Now, 2 months later, engine light comes on again for the same code P0301, but this time I can hear liquid running through the dashboard and a lot of white smoke coming out of the exhausts, I popped the hood and see that the coolant container is virtually empty, so I-??ve bought some and added to it, I took it back to Greenway Ford, left the car there and couple hours later they called me to let me know that the coolant leaked into the cylinder and tells me that my only option is to have the engine replaced at a cost of $8400! This is my only car, I still owe $22,700 and I do not have $8k to get it repaired! And the car has about 94k miles now,
