I have approximately 53000 miles on my vehicle. The Engine light turned on end of Aug. So I took it to a service center. They said the message code was P306 & P0316. They inspected and said the cylinder is misfiring, coolant has gotten into the cylinder, and the gasket is mush. The engine is rough running and told me to take it to Ford, I will need a new engine. In searching this problem I found a TSB 22-2229 & an NHSTA 19-2208, 19-2172. Ford can't get me in until end of September to verify. I've found several references to this problem causing an engine fire, I also found a class action suit recently filed in California for this problem. Ford has not issued a recall for this problem and I don't understand. They redesigned the engine in 2021 as they knew it was a faulty design. I didn't know that. I don't have another vehicle to drive, meanwhile I'm making car payments on it. Ford won't provide a car for me to use. I don't want to drive my car with [XXX] knowing this problem could cause harm to me, them and others. Please advise.

While driving the vehicle transmission shifts are radically intermittently on up shift when traveling highway speeds no problem when decreasing speed at highway speed and increasing speed sometimes the vehicle lurches or jumps then when coming to a stop when you're downshifting it seems to be third gear through first gear the transmission violently jerks as it's downshifting to the point where you can almost lose control. It seems a lot like a safety recall on the 2017 edge dealing with the torque converter

Yes, available for inspection. 2.0L Eco Boost engine leaking coolant into cylinder 1 due to a design defect 2015-2018 which has since been corrected. The only fix is a complete engine replacement. There is a recall for the Ford Fusion and Focus FOR THE SAME ISSUE; however, the Ford Edge 2.0L Eco Boost has not yet been added. There is a service bulletin addressing this issue requiring an engine block replacement: TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 2.0L EcoBoost - Coolant in Cylinders, White Exhaust Smoke And/or Illuminated MIL. An extensive internet search revealed widespread accounts of this issue, mostly after the manufacturer warranty had expired, leaving the customer responsible for engine replacement. Because this was deemed to be caused by a design defect (grooves were etched into the block to allow coolant between the cylinders which weakened the block, causing cracks, which allowed the coolant intrusion), I believe the existing recall should be expanded to include the 2015-2018 2.0L EcoBoost engine as well.

Check engine light and wrench light are both on. Checked by mechanic. Issue with power train:automatic torque converter. There is a recall on 2018 ford edge for this issue, but my VIN isn-??t listed. Car has less than 60,000 miles on it.

- Kalamazoo, MI, USA

Faulty engine design (thin wall between coolant chamber and cylinders) allows for coolant to enter the cylinders. This leads to an overheating engine (that can catch fire) and ultimately creates a blown head gasket. This is a common issue in the Ford EcoBoost engines. There is a TSB on the 1.5 liter engines, but not the 2.0 on this model. There is currently a large lawsuit happening for this reason. Vehicles with under 60k miles are getting blown engines for this problem, most people still owe several thousand dollars on their vehicle when this happens.

I have a 2018 Ford edge SEL with the 2.0 ecoboost engine in it that I just bought June 3rd, 2023. The engine light came on a couple weeks ago, so I took it to the dealership that I bought it from and found out the engine is bad because of coolant leaking into one of the cylinders. Upon further research I found that this is due to a design flaw in the engine by Ford but Ford has not recalled this engine. However Ford has recalled the 1.0 engines along with a couple others. I feel Ford should also recall the 2.0 ecoboost engine because this has been an ongoing issue for many people and the customers shouldn't have to pay for a new engine when it is a defective design that Ford even knows about but hasn't done anything

Two days after I bought this car I took it back to the dealership and told them that there was something wrong with the car. It didn't drive right and when I would put the car in reverse I felt a "flutter" feeling. After they finally got me in to have it looked at, they told me that there was nothing wrong with it. A few months later I took it back to another local Ford dealership after I got a notice in the mail about the transmission. It was not a recall. They also told me there was nothing wrong with it. At this point it would shift hard every now and again. about a month and a half ago, I was driving and a wrench light showed up on my dash. I had a mechanic hook it up to the computer and it was giving me codes P0741-00. I took it to Ford and had them run a diagnostic on it and they called me and told me that I needed a transmission overhaul. If they had fixed it the first two times I had it in to be looked at I wouldn't be without a car right now. I have been in contact with Ford Motor Co also and they are now saying that I still have to pay out over $3200 that I don't have. They were supposed to reach back with me on Fri and still have not heard from them.

The Ford Edge 2018 has a common issue with its transmission - it fails to start at low mileage, causing the car to lose power unexpectedly. This could lead to dangerous situations and potentially render the car completely uncontrollable. Ford dealers acknowledge that it's a common problem for this model, but they do nothing about it.

I had my 2018 Ford Edge in Gerald Jones Ford Lincoln dealership services department at Augusta, GA on [XXX] (soonest appointment schedule available) due to check engine light turning on that I detected on [XXX] According to their diagnosis, my vehicle is now in need of total engine rebuild/replace. On [XXX], 12 days prior to the check engine light turning on, my vehicle was at the dealership for its regular maintenance (oil change, tire pressure, top off fluid, etc.) that also included a multi-point inspection. There were no engine issues detected on the vehicle 12 days prior. All of a sudden, 12 days later, the vehicle's engine light turned on and now in need of serious repair. This vehicle has less than 40k mileage. I did some research and based on submitted complaints online from other vehicle owners, I became aware that there are known issues to the engine design causing misfires and coolant leaking into the combustion chamber/engine that is specific to my vehicle's make and model. Ford has not issued a recall but many have reported similar if not exact problems I am experiencing. I reached out to the dealership's General Manager on [XXX] regarding my concerns. I also called his number on [XXX] and left a voicemail message. It has been 3 business days and I have not received any email response or callback from the General Manager. At the moment, I have the vehicle in my possession while I am trying to deal with the current situation. fINFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

- Troy, AL, USA

Summary: Some 2015-2018 Edge equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost due to coolant intrusion into engine which could cause the potential for engine fires and failure, misfires, collision risk, and costly repairs. Vehicle did not exhibit a low coolant level, white exhaust smoke did not run rough. Automaker knew about the Ford EcoBoost engine defect since 2010 based on pre-production testing and complaints made by consumers to the NHSTA but didn-??t address the cause of the problem. Now I have to pay $10,000 parts and labor!!! Called Ford Customer Service. No assistance unless a recall is sent.

coolant leak into engine cylinders 2018 Ford edge ecoboost engine ford dealer said vin # not under recall but know design flaw across the board with engine

- Attleboro, MA, USA

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-??!

- Washougal , WA, USA

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.
