So the ecoboost engine in my 2017 ford edge has coolant intrusion in #1 cylinder at about 120,000mi which apparently is a known defect and happening to many others with ecoboost engines from 2015 to 2018. Yes available for inspection upon request. Safety? I don't know what happens if I keep driving which I have to because the recommended fix is a replacement engine which is $8,050. I've read many other comments from other people who are also stuck paying for a vehicle they can't or shouldn't be driving. Yes confirmed by a dealership service department. No not inspected by manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. Yes check engine light came on months ago when first checked out by same dealer was told I needed a powertrain control module. Please make ford take responsibility for this. Everyday people can not afford this and leaves us basically screwed.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with coolant intrusion in the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 43,200.
2017 Ford Edge 2.0 Ecoboost engine failed. Car is 6 years old and two shops have confirmed it needs to be totally replaced due to coolant intrusion. Currently still drivable, but is burning through Coolant and per dealership can be a fire hazard. Confirmed by Ford dealership. Check engine light turned on and car has 72,000 miles.
I have a 2017 Ford Edge, and the check engine light came on while driving. Per the Ford dealership service dept, there is an internal coolant leak into cylinder #2 causing engine to misfire. Also, coolant is mixing with the oil. I was told I need a new engine. Ford dealership said they were seeing many others with the same issue. Please hold Ford accountable. This is creating a serious financial hardship for me and countless others.
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.

Had oil change on [XXX]. [XXX] check engine light intermittently came on, vehicle runs rough and rattling noise under vehicle, then vehicle was blowing smoke out of exhaust. Took to dealership ran oasis TSB[XXX]. Found that underbody shield was loose from worn retainers. Also, removed spark plugs found coolant present in multiple cylinders. Required engine replacement. Ford Service bulletin 22- gave specific instructions on oil changes to this model vehicle to avoid this issue.

Also heard several other people in different areas had same issue of coolant present in cylinders with their Ford Edge.

My check engine light came on, took it to the dealer for an inspection, The code was p0302, miss firing of Cylinder 2. The dealer did the inspection and I was told I need a new engine because the coolant is leaking into my engine and there is no way to fix it unless, i get a whole new engine. Ford told me I could keep driving the car until the check engine light flashes at me, when that happens the car is dead. I google this issue and it turns out there is an issue with the ford engine that is 2.0 liter Ecoboost, but there is no recall on the engine, which is something major and a car with only 35,000 should not need a new engine.
The check engine light went on so I took it to the Ford Dealership. They couldn't find an immediate problem so they scheduled me for an appointment the next week. I dropped the car off today and they had it all day, finally dropping the bombshell that there was a coolant leak into cylinder 2 and I need an entirely new engine for $7k or I could sell my car and buy a new one. I'm still in shock and am doing research and apparently this is a HUGE documented problem: [XXX] and [XXX] I have been saving money to take my [XXX] parents and my 13 and 9 year old sons to Ireland in July and I am beside myself because now I can't afford it. Please don't let Ford get away with this. My car is 6 years old with 70k miles on it, I shouldn't need a new engine.

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; https://m.carcomplaints.com/Ford/Edge/2017/engine/coolant_leak_into_cylinder-2.shtml Please hold Ford accountable to announce a recall on the engine.

I have a 2017 Ford Edge with a 2.0 Ecoboost motor that was recently diagnosed (by Ford) as needing a new engine due to Coolant Intrusion into cylinder #4. The car has only 57,000 miles and is said to have a known manufacturing defect that causes this. Fortunately I reported this issue to the dealer before it got too severe; however I've been told that the car can catch on fire due to overheating or stop altogether on the freeway because of this issue. From what I've also read Ford has numerous cars equipped with this engine and have thousands of complaints regarding it, though they refuse to do anything to remedy the situation. I therefore would like to report the situation to the NHTSA out of an abundance of caution for myself, family, and other motorists that could be impacted by this.
Driving my car this year in April 2023. My car overheated while driving. I pulled over and checked the coolant it was bone dry, thankfully I had more in my car which I refilled. I brought my car to a friend that was a mechanic and he told me my coolant was leaking into the cylinder. I brought it to the Ford dealership to confirm his findings. I was told the same thing along with I need a nrw engine. I bought the car in Feb 2021 paid 17,000. It had 75000 miles on it. I haven't been able to get it repaired I was quoated around $5600. Ford has thousands of unhappy consumers in the same situation with needing a new engine. Ford will not do a recall and they kept selling cars with faulty engines. 2015-2018 Ford Edge and other models. This is not fair to thier customers!!!!!

Our 2017 Ford Edge experienced engine problems that are linked to a service recall Ford Motor Company issued on 2016 - 2018 Ford Edge vehicles related to coolant leaks & head gasket failures. Ford is refusing to fully cover costs to replace the engine which was inspected by an authorized Ford Dealership service department & determined to have coolant entering engine cylinder. Providing clear evidence that the engine is failing under the same pretense as the recall issued by Ford. Out of pocket costs to replace were $4,833.12 paid to McMullen Ford. We are seeking reimbursement of out of pocket costs.
The component that failed was the long block and is currently available for inspection. The date when the issue 1st appeared was Nov 20 2023. The issue has since been isolated as a coolant leak in my cylinders and Ford is very aware of the issue and has a TSB 22-2229 discussing some of the symptoms. The coolant intrusion compromised the motors ability to react to demand for power. The vehicle shakes while idling and has faltered when trying to gain entry onto on-ramps for I-20. The failure of the vehicle to meet the power requirements asked of it to merge and the sudden loss of power nearly left my vehicle rear ended with both my toddler and my teenager present. The check engine light illuminated showing a code of P0301 for a cylinder 1 miss-fire. All 4 spark plugs were replaced in an attempt to fix the issue. The check engine light came on again within 48 hours after the repair was made. During the next inspection the coolant level was noted as low. Coolant was added at that time and cylinder 1 coil pack was replaced to fix the issue. The check engine light came on again and coolant was once again low within 48 hours of the 2nd repair. Ford-??s service bulletin TSB 22-2229 addressing the known coolant intrusion issue for the 2015-mid 2019 Ford Edge was presented as the needed repair. This engine failure poses a risk for the car owner, occupants, and surrounding bystanders. It has a fire risk, power failure risk, and quite possible a loss of life risk. Repairs will be made by the local Ford dealership within the week.
