The Ford dealer confirmed that the engine was cracked and leaking coolant into the cylinders. The engine light was on and the car would shudder and RPM's would drop. Before the dealer confirmed the problem I had the ignition coils replaced and all spark plugs replaced. Issue remained unresolved. At any time, the car could stop and I would be stranded. I found numerous incidents exactly like this online reported by Ford owners. The dealer was very familiar with the problem as was Ford Corp. when I called them. This is a manufacturer problem and they are not taking any responsibility!! There should be a recall on this issue. I have gone to great expense and inconvenience. Angry Ford customer.

My 2017 Ford Edge is experiencing loss of coolant with no sign of exterior leaks, over heating, the smell of gas in the reservoir, loss of power and rough idling as well. After plenty of research online and seeing the tsbs from the manufacturer this is definitely a problem. This vehicle is my only form of transportation, being that it has been a problem for many customers of ford it is absurd that this has not been recalled and fixed. We don't work hard every day, spend over 25k on a car for it to have a common problem amongst many of the same vehicle and same year, that is obviously a malfunction of the manufacturer.
Informed that my 2017 Ford Edge with 122K miles has coolant leaking into cylinder 3 from block and now I have to replace my engine. I have to pay $8500. From my research this problem is a manufacturing defect and the Ford dealership failed to fix this issue.

Took the 2017 Ford Edge for regular service, oil change, etc. Noticed the engine light on the dash panel came on. Independent Mechanic informed me that there was a leak of coolant into Cyl #3 of the engine. Recommended that we take the car to a dealership as it has only 49,689 miles on it. Vehicle is running fine at the time, no smoke or loss of coolant. Drove to the dealership the same day and they confirmed that there has been a service bulletin issued on the vehicle's engine due to coolant leaking into the cylinders, causing engine failure. Waiting for dealership to have an open service bay to use to find the exact problem.

Service order: dated 08/07/23 Engine light on and and off several times Check codes: found p301 and p316 as well as coolant intrusion in cylinder #1 lost psi of pressure on the coolant system in 10 minutes. Needs long block Conclusion by tech: needs a new engine costing over $9000. The cost for computer test $240 This was after spending $661.97 for a fuel vapour Sep installed. Don-??t know if needed or not.
Check Engine light came on and I scheduled an appointment at an independent repair shop. Before the appointment date, the engine gave an overheat warning. The system was low on coolant (filled about 3/4 of a gallon). A day before the appointment it overheated again and this time was able to fill another 1/4 gallon. Independent repair shop diagnosed and could not find any signs of exterior coolant leaks. The check engine light was due to cylinder misfiring, and the shop believes that the coolant is leaking into the cylinder and burning off as they witnessed white smoke from the tailpipe. They referenced Technical Services Bulletin #22-2229 as a known problem with the only fix as replacing the engine long block. Contacted Ford and they said that they wouldn't help me as my car is 9,000 miles over the warranty period. There is no way to tell when this issue will render the car inoperable and possibly strand my family somewhere or worse cause the system to shut down at freeway speeds.
Vehicle was idling rough and not able to accelerate. Vehicle was overheating consuming coolant. After 2 weeks a check engine light came on. Dealer inspected and found coolant intrusion on 2 cylinders. Design flaw known by Ford.
