Our 2019 Ford Edge (purchased in November 2018) has had a coolant leak into the engine's cylinders. As a result we are facing an estimated $12,000 expense to essentially rebuild the engine. In doing some research, it appears as if there is a class action lawsuit already filed against Ford for the 2015-2018 Edge. Our situation is exactly the same as that described in the lawsuit. Therefore, it seems as if Ford still has not rectified the issue.

Engine - Yes it is available for inspection. Approximately a year/18 months I was driving on the interstate and the engine shut down. I was required to pull over four lanes with no power. I took it to a Ford dealership in Franklin, TN. Supposedly it was fixed. However I now have a problem with the engine missing. I took it to my routine service repair center and their mechanic advised me coolant was seeping into the engine block. No messages or warnings were desplayed.

While driving my RPM's dropped to 0 and my car stalled out. I was able to drive home by doing this a few more times. Then white smoke starting coming out of the exhaust and it smelled like fireworks. No warning lights came on and my Ford Pass app did not indicate there was a problem. I had it towed to AAA then had to have it towed to dealership. They told me I needed a complete new engine. It is a 2019 Edge Titanium with 4 cylinder 2.0L ecoboost turbo with 38997 miles! They started it was due to coolant intrusion. The 2018 Edge has a recall for this exact issue but not the 2019!! $12691.17 to replace the engine!

Torque converter Transmission! The whole car shudders when going from 10mph to 25/30mph. Shudder/shaking while accelerating Low mileage @ 67k miles

- Leonardsville, NY, USA

My 2019 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine began experiencing a misfire, loss of power, and white smoke from the exhaust. No engine light was on when it started and the car has less tan 46K miles. I had the car towed to a certified mechanic and he confirmed that coolant is leaking into my cylinders, which matches the issue described in Ford TSB 19-2346. This appears to be a widespread manufacturing defect affecting many vehicles with this engine. The presence of coolant in the combustion chamber caused catastrophic engine failure and poses a safety risk due to sudden loss of power while driving. I have been told that to fix the issue I need to replace the whole engine. Repair costs are estimated at $10,600 for an engine replacement at a local repair shop. I would expect it to be even higher from a Ford dealer. Ford has acknowledged this defect in a TSB 19-2346, but no recall has been issued. I am submitting this complaint so NHTSA is aware of the defect and its safety implications. I urge NHTSA to investigate this issue and require Ford to take responsibility.

Shuttering transmission/bad transmission under 100,000 miles

- Azle, TX, USA

1. The transmission/torque converter causes the car to shift randomly causing almost constant jerking motion especially between 10-40 mph. This tends to lead to reduced power output as the car is constantly shifting gears or stuck is an incorrect gear. Yes, it is available for inspection. This issue is described in TSB 21-2389, which I have had preformed on the vehicle by ford but did not fix the issues. 2. Safety is impacted by the shifting gear reducing the available power output and inconsistent speeds. 3. I have had it in with the Ford Dealership and an independent mechanic. Both could reproduce it. Ford updated the software per TSB 21-2389 which is supposed to address the specific problem, but it did not fix it. The independent dealer reset the control unit, but that also did not fix the issue. 4. Only the ford dealership and independent mechanic. 5. There are no warning lamps or messages.

my wife was driving on [XXX] made a left turn on to [XXX] had enough time but because the Transmision slip on the car slowed down and the car coming from [XXX] have at a high speed was able to hit the caron the right back panel i had power train malfunctions alerts messages from the car. Ford could not find the problem now at 54000 miles I need a new transmission the model needs a recall for the Transmission this is a frequent problem that is well documented on the internet. And Ford knows about it and is not doing anything about it. I had to pay for a new Transmission when it should have been covered under warranty.

During normal driving conditions in stop and go traffic the engine coolant over-temperature warning message displayed on the dashboard. Also, for a couple days prior to this incident, the vehicle exhibited hesitation when attempting to accelerate, and the engine was very close to stalling multiple times. There wear no other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The vehicle was towed to a local Ford dealership, where it was confirmed the issue was related to existing TSB 20-2234 (2.0L EcoBoost - Illuminated MIL With Various DTCs And/Or Low Coolant Level, White Smoke From Tailpipe And/Or External Coolant Leak), and repairs were completed.

My car is a 2019 Ford Edge I almost got into a accident because the transmission went out of gear and the car would slow down and sometimes just speed

- Wharton, NJ, USA

2019 Ford Edge ran out of coolant without any indication of low coolant level or check engine light, resulting in loss of heat and poor engine performance due to coolant combustion. According to Ford service (who confirmed the root cause), this was due to the known issue of a faulty EGR cooler [XXX] ) leaking internally, but repairs had to be paid out of pocket. Loss of heat in winter could be dangerous, and in prolonged error state, catastrophic engine failure could occur. Failure occurred at ~55,000 miles.

Head gasket issues Design defect in engine block Passenger seat belt tension

- Los Gatos, CA, USA

The vehicle was not shifting properly and was surging while traveling at lower and higher speeds. There was NO CHECK ENGINE light on or any other warning lights at all. The vehicle is in my name, however, my daughter drives 9 hours for college by herself and could have been at risk of injury had the vehicle stalled in the wintertime between Minnesota and Kansas. I drove it while she was home over the winter break and noticed it. I took it to a Ford dealer and they said the transmission needed to be replaced. I went from diagnosing there was a problem myself with no warning lights to the dealer saying this is very common for the Ford Ecoboost engines and that the car is not drivable at all. He was also concerned the low coolant level was due to an engine failure which he said they've also seen a lot of. The vehicle only has 57,000 miles on it, however, it is 6 months past warranty. I have read the Ford forums about this vehicle and there are SO MANY people who have experienced the same thing and Ford refuses to do a recall to cover their mistake. There needs to be a recall on this to protect consumers like myself. This is so frustrating. Now I need to pay out of pocket for a new transmission on a car that I need to get rid of ASAP after hearing about all of the engine failures. I know that would be next, which would put my daughter at risk once again on the road.

82000 miles on car. Torque converter and throttle body needs to be replaced

- South Mills, NC, USA

December 19, 2024, engine failure and seatbelt failure. The seatbelt went loose and would not retract, lights started blinking on dash, car smelt funny the air coming through vents in to the cab of vehicle, white smoke out the tail pipe and then warning to pull over, temperature, check engine. I pulled over and called a tow truck. After getting my vehicle towed to certified mechanic, they advised my engine and chassie was 2018 model even though the VIN list it as 2019. I contacted Ford for recall on these items and they said they only go off the VIN. I did research along with the mechanic and there has been recalls and TSB for these items and several others my 2018 parts should have been inspected and FORD refused to do so. The engine failure is due to the coolant leaking into the engine. Whole engine needs replaced. Ford is refusing to assist in this matter. I have filed an official complaint with FORD, CXH-03434375-W8X5T6. There is several others that I believe my car should be checked for. Why is FORD refusing to repair my engine and chassie parts that are stamped 2018? This is a great risk and liability.

Slipping transmission, the torque converter clutch performance stuck in off.

- New York, NY, USA

While my vehicle was in the shop having the transmission rebuilt and the torque converter replaced, the techs identified that there was a continued shudder. At this time, after researching the codes on my vehicle, they identified that the EGR Purge Valve needed to be replaced. They identified it because the vehicle was running rough and should not have been after the items were repaired.
