2018 Ford Edge — Known Issues & Recalls

Your check engine light came on, and a mechanic found that coolant is leaking into cylinder 3 and burning off through the exhaust—a sign of internal engine failure. Despite regular maintenance and only 63,000 miles, the engine needs to be replaced, and the vehicle is unsafe to drive any distance because it could fail suddenly. This will require a complete engine replacement or rebuild.

Your engine is leaking coolant directly into cylinder number 2, which causes rough idling and excessive exhaust fumes. Continuing to drive risks severe engine damage, potential power loss while driving, or engine fire. The repair will likely require replacing the faulty component allowing coolant to enter the cylinder and thorough engine inspection.

The dealership says the only fix is replacing the entire engine (long block).
