2017 Ford Edge — Known Issues & Recalls

Your engine's coolant system developed a leak that caused the engine to overheat and fail. The engine damage is severe enough that repair costs exceed $9,000, making engine replacement necessary. Your backup camera also stopped working, and the associated recall cannot be completed due to parts unavailability. Fixing this will likely require a complete engine replacement or rebuild.

Your engine is leaking coolant into the cylinder, which has caused your check engine light to come on and off over the past year. This is a known issue reported by thousands of owners with 2.0 EcoBoost engines in 2015-2018 vehicles, and some have experienced engine lockup or fire. The Ford dealership has confirmed the problem. Fixing this will likely require engine repair or replacement of the cylinder head gasket or related seals.

Your engine may have coolant leaking into cylinder 4, causing a persistent misfire, white smoke from the exhaust, and loss of coolant without visible external leaks. This can lead to sudden stalling or rough running at highway speeds, overheating, and potential fire hazard from coolant in the exhaust system. The fix will likely require a full engine replacement or major engine rebuild to repair the internal coolant leak and restore proper combustion.

Your car's engine is showing a low coolant level and white smoke coming from the exhaust, which are signs of a coolant leak. Ford has determined that your engine needs to be replaced due to a design flaw in the EcoBoost engine. The repair would involve replacing the entire engine, which is a major job that typically requires the engine to be removed and a new one installed.

Your brake pedal sank all the way to the floor while you were slowing down at 30 MPH, with no warning light appearing on your dashboard. A dealer inspection found that your rear brake lines were cracked and leaking, which caused the loss of braking pressure. This is a known recall issue (Campaign 25V544000), but repair parts weren't available at the time. The fix will involve replacing the cracked rear brake lines to restore proper hydraulic braking function.

While driving at 45 mph, your brake pedal went soft and the vehicle didn't stop as expected when you tried to brake at a traffic light. You had to pump the pedal repeatedly until it went to the floor to finally stop the car. A mechanic found that a rear brake line had ruptured and needed replacement. This is related to a known recall (NHTSA Campaign 25V544000), but the manufacturer advised that replacement parts aren't yet available. The repair will involve replacing the ruptured flexible brake line with a new one.

The recall repairs will likely involve replacing or repairing components in your brake system and back-over prevention equipment once parts become available.

Your car's rear brake hoses may develop leaks, which could cause your brake pedal to require more pressure and increase your stopping distance.

Your engine stopped working while driving uphill on the highway, causing your vehicle to stop moving and requiring a tow truck.

This repair typically involves removing the transmission to access and replace the damaged flex plate or torque converter.

Your check engine light keeps coming back on even after you've paid for repairs. A mechanic has found that coolant is leaking into your engine block, which means the entire engine block needs to be replaced—an expensive fix costing thousands of dollars.

Your vehicle lost steering control and drifted into traffic while driving at 35 mph, preceded by a thudding noise and violent steering wheel shaking.
