2018 Ford Edge Engine Problems

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 check engine light came on while driving, and you heard an abnormal rumbling sound from under the hood. The dealer initially performed a tune-up and refilled the coolant, but the problem returned. Your engine was eventually diagnosed with failure due to coolant intrusion getting into the engine, requiring a complete engine replacement. The dealer acknowledged the initial repair didn't fix the issue, and Ford was notified of this known problem affecting similar vehicles.

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.

Your 2018 Ford Edge's engine has coolant leaking into the cylinders, which a Ford dealership confirmed through diagnostic testing. This defect is known to affect Ford 2.0L EcoBoost engines and can cause engine misfires, loss of power, stalling, or sudden engine failure while driving—creating a serious safety hazard. The dealership says the only fix is replacing the entire engine (long block).

Your engine's coolant system may develop a leak that allows coolant to enter the engine block, triggering the check engine light. This happened on your 2018 Ford Edge at around 33,000 miles and required complete engine replacement. The repair typically involves diagnosing the coolant leak source and either resealing the affected area or replacing the entire engine.

Your 2018 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine has a known manufacturing defect where coolant is leaking into the engine cylinders. A dealer diagnostic report confirms this matches Ford's Technical Service Bulletin 22-2229. This will require engine repair or replacement to seal the leak and prevent coolant from contaminating the oil.

Your engine appears to have been improperly assembled at the factory, allowing coolant to enter where it shouldn't. This is a serious manufacturing defect that multiple mechanics have refused to repair due to the complexity and history of the problem. You may need engine replacement or extensive internal repairs to resolve this issue.

Your 2018 Ford Edge's engine developed coolant inside the cylinders at 72,062 miles, causing it to fail completely. The dealership determined the engine couldn't be repaired and had to be replaced entirely, costing you $5,602.85 out of pocket. You maintained the vehicle properly with regular oil changes and service records, and you believe this is part of a known defect affecting 2.0L EcoBoost engines in Ford vehicles. Ford refused to help with the repair cost, but you're reporting this to document the failure and request a review of the issue.

Your engine check light keeps coming back with a misfire code in cylinder 1, even after replacing the spark plugs and ignition coil multiple times. Ford has identified a potential coolant leak into the cylinders as the root cause, which can lead to slow acceleration and possible engine damage. The manufacturer may recommend engine replacement to fully resolve the issue.

The coils kept popping up check engine light. And turns out it was an injector failing, and cause my car to jerk a lot, and not accelerate when needing. My car would almost try to stop accelerating while on highway and jerk so much that it felt like I was going to wreck on the middle of a freeway.

Have had to fill up coolant 2x a week. Starting to smoke real bad on start up. Leading me to believe I’ve got a coolant intrusion on my hands

Ford has a known problem with Ecoboost engines can leak coolant into the engine’s valves. This happened to our vehicle and we had to replace the engine due to misfiring cylinders. The check engine light kept coming on. We intially replaced all spark plugs and coils. Then after that didn't resolve the problem, the entire engine had to be replaced.

My ford edge has a problem where coolant mysteriously disappears a flood like it’s getting vacuumed into engine cylinders causing the engine to run rough with white smoke coming from exhaust. This is on my 2.0l turbocharged ecoboost engine and I have already seen other consumer reports about other having the same issue all over social media and Ford will not do anything about it and will charge you almost $10,000 dollars for something that was their fault. They made a mistake in creating the engine block and thus now many people are suffering because of this.

2.0L EcoBoost engine - while driving the 2018 Ford Edge with approximately 50K miles, the vehicle displayed a rapid overtemp condition and then a check engine light for a misfire on cylinder 2. Coolant was almost empty and I re-filled the resivoir and dealer reset the check engine light. This happened about two more times with the coolant resivoir along with multiple check engine lights for the #2 cylinder. Each time the Ford dealer reset the check engine light for the #2 cylinder but did not give information about why the coolant level was dropping to almost zero. I went to a different dealer who referred me to the Ford TCB 22-2229. I Spoke to Ford customer service directly and the engine long block was replaced at my expense since Ford would not pay for the repair.

The defect involves the engine block or cylinder head design, which allows engine coolant to intrude into the engine's combustion cylinders. Coolant mixing with the engine oil will cause a catastrophic failure and can lead to an engine fire. Ford has issued Technical Service Bulletins TSB 19-2346 but it does not cover any cost and no recalls have been issued. This is a known manufacturing defect in which Ford is taking no accountability.

2018 Ford Edge with 119K miles. Issue has been determined to be the known issue of coolant intrusion into the cylinders. The issue was noticed while stopped at a traffic light, vehicle started "reving" and showed RPM fluctuations. On two separate occasions, the vehicle lost all ability to accelerate while driving. It's also has white smoke coming out of the exhaust and has been losing coolant at an alarming rate. After multiple inspections and other attempted fixes (water pump replacement, spark plugs replaced, fuel pump replaced), it's been determined that the coolant intrusion is to blame. The vehicle is deemed unsafe to drive in the current state and extended warranty is no longer in affect due to the mileage.

2018 Ford Edge engine size 2.0 ecoboost has a coolant intrusion that Ford is well aware of but refuse to help customers with the problem. Engine could fail while driving on the highway but they have not issue an emergency recall for it.. This is a very serious manufacture error on behalf of Ford Motor.

There is a coolant intrusion into the cylinder bores of the engine. This has been confirmed by VanBortel Ford in East Rochester NY. When the issue first occurred the engine light came on and the vehicle would no longer run properly.

My car started overheating this morning. Took it to my mechanic & he told me I had a cracked head gasket where coolant was leaking. He thought there was a recall/notice about some coolant issues. Sent me to our local Ford dealership; they said my vehicle wasn't covered under any recalls. But there is a notification about this very issue. I attached a screenshot of the exact issue listed online that matches my problem.

Driving felt weird like the vehicle was stuttering and I heard liquid sloshing around as I was driving. Check engine light came on and turned off again on its own on 2 separate occasions within 2 weeks. The first time it came on, I made an appointment at the service center but the check engine light had gone off by the time I brought it in. I was told they couldn't diagnose it if the check engine light was off. When it came on again, I took it to my local Ford service center and they diagnosed it with coolant leaking into the cylinder, causing a misfire. The recommended solution is a full engine replacement costing over $8,000. Apparently this is a known issue and a service bulletin was issued in 2022 (before I bought the car used) but Ford is refusing to issue a recall. The car only has 65k miles.

Our 2018 Ford Edge started idling rough after spark plug change and after dealer tested it they told us it had engine coolant in #2 Cylinder and that driving it could lead to catastrophic engine failure. Only fix is complete engine block replacement (Recommended by Ford in Bulletin TSB22-2229) along with new turbo as it may also have been damaged by coolant leak. (Could also damage catalytic converter. This is a known default due to design fault in 2.0 litre engine. Since vehicle is off warranty, the repair replacement is going to cost over $10,000.00. I understand this is affecting a serious number of Ford customers with this engine, a number of which have been quietly replaced under warranty. I feel Ford owes their customers replacement costs on this issue and a recall should be issued. If ones motor seizes up suddenly while driving it could result in injury or death. I have contacted Ford directly, and their response is it's out of warranty so I am out of luck.

The engine failed before 55,000 miles. Collant is getting into the engine and causing a cylinder failure. This is a known problem for this engine. The Ford mechanic and other mechanics stated that they no longer use that engine due to the problem. Since I did not purchase an extended warranty, Ford is requiring nearly $12,000 to replace the engine. Started rough 1 morning, then ran fine within 1 mile. Next start was smooth, but the check engine light came on. The check engine light did not stay on consistently. The next time it felt rough, I took it into Ford to see what was happening.

Coolant intrusion defect. The engine coolant leaks into the combustion chamber, due to a failure in the engine block design. TSB 19-2346 issued by Ford addresses this known and serious issue for my 2018 Ford Edge, 2.0L EcoBoost engine. In 2024, I purchased a used, 2018 Ford Edge with 49k miles. A few months after I purchased this used vehicle at a dealership, my Check Engine light came on. The vehicle showed other symptoms of white smoke, coolant loss, misfiring and rough idle. I brought my car to a local dealership (not the same dealership that I purchased the vehicle) and they confirmed the coolant intrusion defect. When I purchased the vehicle, it didn't come with a warranty. I tried getting help from by calling Ford Customer Service, and they offered no goodwill assistance and no coverage assistance at all. I ended up having a new engine put in my vehicle for $7,000. This was done by a local car repair shop, not done at a dealership. I now have to pay a loan for $7k on top of my monthly car payment that existed before the new engine. Although my vehicle is no longer under warrant, I understand this issue stems from a documented manufacturing defect and has affected a wide range of Ford models. I've taken good care of my vehicle and it has been maintained regularly. I want to retain confidence in Ford as a brand that stands behind its products, but I didn't get anywhere with Ford after submitting a case and speaking with a representative and also a manager. I don't know what else to do in trying to get reimbursed for the replacement of the engine of $7,000. I would like to be added to any potential class-action. I called Ford Customer Service at 800-392-3673 Case # [XXX] Manger Maurice Dealership that I had the coolant intrusion diagnosed: Gary Yeomans Ford, 1202 Malabar Rd, Palm Bay, FL 32907 Service person: Stuart 321-272-7659 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

At 77,000 Kilometers, check engine light came on, during inspection it is observed that there is an active coolant intrusion leak in cylinders 1 and 3. This is a Ford Edge 2018, with a 2.0L Ecoboost engine. The car is undriveable and needs a full engine replacement.

See attached document for complaint.

Cylinder misfire, caused coolant intrusion into cylinder caused by defective motor wall. This could have caused by engine to lock up while driving and cause an accident. Luckily I was able to get it to the dealer before that happened. FORD is aware of this defective motor in these models but has refused to issue a recall. My car is a 2018, however, the car ONLY has 50,000 miles on it. I want others to know of this danger. These engines should be recalled before someone is hurt in crash due to this defect.

I had a Cylinder misfire (code P0302) due to coolant intrusion into the engine cylinder. This was due to a crack in the engine block. This is a common issue with the 2.0L ecoboost engine. No recall. Ford's fix was for me to replace the long block engine with a redesign version to fix the casting problem. This cost was covered by me, even though this is a known common issue by Ford that requires an engine replacement. The engine had 78,193 miles on it, so it was out of warranty. Repair cost me over $7,000. There is are currently lawsuits due to this case and engine. [XXX] and [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2018 Ford Edge, 79K miles. Check engine light came on and I immediately had it checked out. It was misfiring, spark plugs were replaced to attempt to fix the issue. Light came back on a few weeks later, it was discovered that coolant was leaking into cylinder 3 and causing the misfire. Ford recommends that the engine be replaced. This appears to be an issue that Ford is very aware of and many Ford Edges are affected, yet there is not a recall. This defect may lead to overheating and can result in the cylinder head cracking, total engine failure, and/or engine fires. This puts me and other drivers at significant risk and I am very displeased with Ford.

Found trouble code PO304 in the computers history indicates that the misfire is not coming from the spark plug or ignition coil. Checked the fuel injector and no problem was found. Removed cylinder#4=spark plug and found a small amount of evidence that coolant is entering the cylinder. There is a TSB for engine blocks cracking and causing the problem. This was found by the auto service I use. Called dealership and was told this does happen. A new engine would have to installed if my engine light comes back on. They would have put in the same type of engine! REALLY? Wouldn’t this happen again with a new engine? I do not know how to download the service slip

On July 20,2025, at about 4:30pm to 5:30pm, I drove less than two blocks from home when the engine light and the overterature light came on suddenly. Simultaneously, the vehicle began to shake. I was about two to three blocks from an Auto Zone parts supply store. I drove there slowly. Once at the location, I asked for assistance in determining what caused the issue with my car. The representative used a device that indicated that check engine failed, and emission ready status was no. I was advised to purchase coolant for my model vehicle. Once purchased, the representative tried to fill the reservoir. However, the reservoir indicated that it was full after using less than half of what was in the gallon bottle. We waited a while to determine if the level would decrease. While at the store, the level remained constant at the full level. He recommended that I start the engine. The car no longer shook and the indicators did not come back on until I drove about a mile away. I was near another Auto Zone store, nearly a mile from my house. The representative there was able to pour the remainder of the coolant into the reservoir. When asked, I was told that I should contact a mechanic regarding the issue. I asked if it would be safe to drive the car home to make arrangements to have the car towed, as where we (myself and two young grandchildren) were in a location that did not seem safe to wait very long. I drove slowly to my house, using emergency blinkers. I was able to park the car in the driveway until I could arrange to have the car towed to a recommended repair shop. I have an extended warranty from an Auto warranty company. The car was towed to AAMCO less than 10 miles away. So far, all they have been able to tell me is that the oil is clean, but the level is very low. I do not know the cause, as I have the oil changed, and other lubricant and liquids levels checked at least every 7.5K miles. I also check my indicators on a regular basis, whenever I drive.

Check engine light came on and car stalled. The fault was a misfire in cylinder 2 and 3. When I checked vehicle out coolant was low and coolant leaked into cylinder. Checked online and saw thousands of complaints for the same thing

I own a 2018 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. My engine recently failed and was diagnosed by a Ford dealership as suffering from coolant intrusion into the cylinders. This has resulted in engine misfires, overheating, coolant loss, and eventually a non-functional engine. This appears to be a widespread and well-documented issue across multiple Ford models and years, due to a design flaw in the engine block or head gasket area that allows coolant to enter the combustion chamber. I was not notified of any recall or service bulletin, yet this issue has caused major financial and safety concerns. There is currently a class-action lawsuit related to this defect, and Ford has not issued any official remedy despite knowing of the issue for years. I am submitting this report in hopes that NHTSA will investigate this defect and urge Ford to issue a recall or remedy before more consumers suffer unexpected engine failure.

Hello, I have had this Ford edge for about two years. My first year it started giving me problems so I took it in and they told me that I needed a whole new engine which is shocking because I just got it, as I saved for money they told me it should last a little bit longer, so I held it off for a little bit and recently it started to jump every time I was at a stoplight or a stop sign and sometimes just completely shut off, so I took it in again and they told me that I need a whole new engine and that there are no recalls on my car so I did some research and I’ve noticed that a lot of people have problems with the exact same thing that I do on their 2018 Ford edge. I’m really just hoping that there is something that can be done.

Presence of coolant in engine cylinders

The 2018 Ford Edge I currently own and according to my research, there have been several class action suits that have been filed due to the customer experiencing "coolant intrusion" into the engine rendering the vehicle useless without repair. My vehicle only has 50,000 miles on it and needs $6-7,000.00 worth of repairs to correct the problem. The current resale value without this issue is $10-13,000.00 but is now worth basically scrap. Cases that have been filed are Case [XXX] [XXX] et al. v. Ford Motor Co. in the United States District Court Eastern District of California. According to this case it states, "It pertains to 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2013-2019 Ford Fusion, 2015-2018 Ford Edge, 2016-2019 Lincoln MKC, and 2016-2019 Lincoln MKZ models equipped with the 1.5L, 1.6L, and 2.0L EcoBoost engines, specifically, citing coolant intrusion as its chief focus." There are similar cases filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, as well as another in the Ontario Court of Justice in Canada. My vehicle exhibits nearly all of the issues common with coolant intrusion which can be Overheating, Coolant consumption issues, Engine misfire, Engine damage, and Engine fire Smoke coming from exhaust pipes. According to the current cases and complaints the models experiencing this issue are 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2013-2019 Ford Fusion, 2015-2018 Ford Edge, 2017-2019 Lincoln MKC, 2017-2019 Lincoln MKZ. I respectfully ask that you hold Ford accountable for this issue as it has placed undue financial burden on the consumer. I attempted to contact Ford and they said no issues such relating to coolant intrusion exist for my 2018 Ford Edge with that VIN number but cannot explain why a well maintained vehicle with 50,000 miles is no longer operable.

Ford’s 2.0L EcoBoost engine failed on our on a 2018 Edge. The vehicle and engine are available for inspection. The engine suffered a catastrophic failure and must be replaced per Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 19-2346. Ford issued TSB 19-2346 on coolant loss/need for engine replacement in 2019. They had a class action lawsuit in 2012 on EcoBoost engines allowing coolant in cylinders. Ford had a chronic problem with these engines for years but kept selling them. There is a recall for some 2015-2018 Edges and 2017-2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape/MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost engines. I’m not sure why my 2018 Edge is not part of the recall, since the engine has failed per TSB 19-2346. The problem was diagnosed by a certified mechanic, diagnosis attached. I filed a case (#[XXX]) with Ford Customer Service, who denied any responsibility because my extended powertrain warranty (which I believe lasted until 100,000 miles) expired 3 months before the engine failure was diagnosed. I also wrote a letter (attached) to Ford Consumer Affairs, which remains unanswered. A check engine light appeared just days after Ford performed a routine 60,000 mile service. Ford reported no problems and did not indicate that our vehicle was at risk under of TSB 19-2346, even though this TSB and problems with the 2018 Ford Edge have been known about by Ford since at least 2019 when the TSB was issued. In addition to the check engine light, we started losing/and replacing small amounts of coolant, which we attributed to a hose leak. A few months later, a certified mechanic then diagnosed the problem as TSB 19-2346. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Ford Ecoboost 2.0 L engine, ~95,000 miles. The check engine light came on while on a cross country drive and the diagnostic code was a cylinder 2 misfire. The vehicle would chug and sputter when started up and had trailing white smoke from the exhaust. The garage reset the code and replaced the spark plugs. 2 weeks later the engine started chugging again on start up, with white smoke and a smell of burning coolant. We took it to our mechanic locally who found coolant leaking into the cylinder. He reset the code and recommended we take it to the dealer. When I got the vehicle back, I checked the coolant to find that it was excessively low, presumably from it leaking into the cylinder for an unknown amount of time. We researched online and found that the occasion of coolant leaking into the #2 cylinder is a common problem with an incredibly large range of affected vehicles, and that the solution is to replace the engine. When I spoke to the dealership and described the problem, they confirmed that the only solution was an engine replacement and that it was routine for them. They quoted me $11,000 for the repair.

We have a 3rd party warranty program that made the repair last year but are refusing to this time. So we now a vehicle that is not drivable, is a safety risk if it is driven. Ford motor company has no assistance to offer at this time unless a recall is issued! The warranty company said since TSB’s are out that they will not cover this! If this is a Ford defect then it should be covered and repaired by them. There have been many recalls on this issue. Why not mine?

Coolant intrusion into the engine (eco boost) slow leak but failing emissions testing. engine misfires and runs hard. Only 80,000 miles on the car. Can be inspected, had it inspected by a local mechanic who confirmed the issue. No warning signs, never had a check engine light on prior to the issue.

Symptoms: Signs of coolant intrusion can include low coolant levels, overheating, rough idle, white exhaust, and possibly a "milkshake" appearance on the underside of the oil cap. Diagnosis: Ford has a specific diagnostic procedure for identifying coolant intrusion, involving pressure testing and inspecting the cylinders. Repair: The primary fix is a long block replacement, which includes replacing the engine.

My vehicle has 47K miles on it as the vehicle sat in the garage for 2 years ( 2019/2020) during COVID, it was never used. Recently as of Jan, Feb 2025, Slowly the car started to vibrate when starting the engine and the check engine came on. Every start in the morning or between trips, the engine would vibrate significantly , having the passengers inside (including kids) get worried about what is going on!. Also, an odd smell of burning in the exhaust , as though something other than fuel was being burnt. Took it to the dealership and they confirmed, an coolant intrusion. I checked online , to my surprise, I found everywhere that a lot of customers are having this coolant intrusion into the engine on the Ecoboost Engine and there has also been several class action lawsuit against this coolant intrusion into the engine. The Ford dealership mentioned , it would cost 10K to replace an engine and that is the only solution. With the powertrain warranty being within 60K miles, I am not qualified for the warranty as it is more than 5 years old as per Ford dealership. I am worried, that it could be very dangerous, as the engine could catch fire, if left untreated and I hope Ford acknowledge this known issue and not have their customers drive this faulty engine to end up into any disastrous issue with engine fires!!.

Coolant intrusion to engine cylinder bay which leads to misfires, white smoke and constant lagging, jerking and rough starts. Dealership confirmed new engine is required to remedy this issue.

The car has 64,000 mi on it. They had to change the long block because of coolant infusion into the number 2 cylinder. They denied my lifetime warranty because I had the oil changed at the dealership twice at 6 months and 2 weeks. I had the oil changed religiously at 5, 000 or less miles at the dealership where I bought the car, Ricart Ford. Also they denied it because I changed the cabin air filter on my own.

Coolant intrusion into engine cylinder. Requires long block +engine build. Issue reported at around 75000 miles.

Check engine light came on and I checked the code with a reader. The code came up to a cylinder 2 misfire. Made an appointment with local dealership for diagnostic of the issue. Before the appointment was able to happen the check engine light went off. Appointment cancelled and 2 days later the check engine light came back on so made a new appointment. Continued to drive car with no issues. Brought car in for service and received a report back that cylinder 2 & 3 misfire and was advised coolant leaking into the engine and recommended repair is a new engine. After a quick google search found that this is a widespread issue with this engine.

In September 2024 (just over 68k miles) my check engine light came on in my 2018 Ford Edge, car overheated, smoke from tailpipe and would no longer run. I had it towed to the dealership where it was determined that it needed a whole new engine. This is the same engine that is recalled or warranty extended for the Escape but not the Edge! 2 weeks later, I paid thousands of dollars to have the engine replaced. Today, less than 3 months later and only a few hundred miles after a new engine- the check engine light is flashing and the vehicle is sputtering. This vehicle is used to transport our children and get us to/from work. This is completely unacceptable and unsafe. The vehicle is, once again, unable to be driven. I have contacted Ford Customer Service who has advised we make another dealership appointment and they are not open currently. Something needs to be done about this vehicle!

Car went into limp mode and over temp light came on. Coolant reservoir empty. Research led to TSB 19-2346. Prior to this CEL was coming on and off and throwing code P0301 errors. Replaced plugs and coil packs at the suggestion of the dealer but made no different. Started out with rough idle but smoothed out after about 30 seconds. Dealer diagnosed issue and quoted $6,900.00 plus tax to install new long block. Safety concern is the engine started to overheat. Fortuantely we stopped before anything serious happened, but found several reports online of this causing engine fire and destroying the car.

Symptoms: Coolent level would go low; White smoke from exhaust; Vehicle would run rough; Coolent was in cylinder; and Check engine light would indicate. I took vehicle to my local Ford dealer. I was told this is a known issue with my vehicle and that the engine needed replaced. See previous Complaint # 11558954

coolant is leaking into the cylinders and causing misfires and shuttering of the car, the engine temperature spikes and warnings go off. this is happening in my 2.0L engine. this is the same problem as the 1.5L engine problem that Ford has recalled, but Ford is refusing to recall the 2.0L engine with the same issue. Ford has required me to replace the engine at my expense and now a few months later it is exhibiting the same problem and it is back at the Ford dealer and there is no promise date for putting in engine #3. I am left still paying on the loan for the car and I have no car and don't know when I will get it back. Ford is not offering a loaner/rental vehicle while they are holding my vehicle for repairs. Ford said they would not provide a good trade-in value because of the known issues. I can't sell it on the open market because of the known maintenance issues with Ford vehicles in general, but specifically Ford Edge. Ford's handling of this situation is as bad or perhaps worse than the problem itself.

- A certified Ford technician informed me there is a crack in the engine cylinder block, and coolant is leaking through to the pistons. One or more pistons is full of coolant and shakes the car when starting up, and has caused downstream issues with exhaust, catalytic converters, spark plugs, and O2 sensors. This resulted in the engine running too hot and welding the spark plugs to the engine. The dealer quoted me $8,400 just to replace the engine and said other components may be damaged and additional costs would likely be incurred. The vehicle along with all affected components is available for inspection upon request. - This issue put myself and another at risk while on the highway, I was forced to pull to the side of the road abruptly in fear of continued driving making the issue worse. - This issue has indeed been confirmed by a Ford dealer, who cited this as a common issue they see. - After contacting the manufacturer (Ford), they refused to offer any additional inspection, financial assistance, or anything else to further investigate or remedy this issue. The police and insurance representatives are not involved at this time. - A check engine light relating to bad O2 sensors appeared a year ago, but went away. The high engine coolant temperature warning sound & message appeared a week or so ago, which prompted me to take it in to get serviced immediately.

Check engine light went on. Code was P0302/07E8 pd - Cylinder 2 misfire. After changing spark plugs - multiple times - and changing out the ignition coil, mechanic said he'd have to replace the entire engine. Took to Ford Dealer who confirmed concerns, performed test and found coolant in cylinder 2. Said that engine needed to be replaced. A mechanic said if engine wasn't replaced it could eventually cause overheating, engine fires and catastrophic failures. My car only had 56,244 miles on it when I had to replace the engine at dealer, at a cost to me of $8000. (Warranty expired at 5 years, 50,000 miles. Ford has recalled other models with this same problem. This model and year should be included in the recall.

The contact's wife owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the engine warning light illuminated.

The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

My car was leaking coolant into the engine not only causing the engine to fail and need replacing, but the engine overheated, causing me to have to pull over on the side of the road. It happened a few time before the issue could be found. The dealer finally found the cause of the overheating was due to coolant intruding into the engine causing cylinders to misfire.

Took my car in to get repaired as the heater was not working. Turns out that I am required to have a full engine replacement after ONLY 58,000 miles due to coolant intrusion. This is absolutely unacceptable. The risk of coolant leaking into an engine is complete engine failure which can result in engine fires. This was confirmed by the dealer service center. There was a check engine light on, but then it turned off after a week.

Recently, I had to replace the engine on my 2018 Ford Edge with only 73k miles on it. I spoke to an agent on July 10th with Case #: [XXX]. The total engine replacement cost was $7,700. Ford only covered $3,000, leaving me with the remaining balance of $4,700. I first noticed my check engine light was on in July, so I took it to the dealership (Tony Betten Ford, Grand Rapids, MI) to find out the engine block was cracked and needed to be replaced. The powertrain warranty only covers 5 years or 60k miles, and my vehicle is 6 years old with just over 73k miles, so it did not qualify. I should not have to replace an entire engine at this mileage, especially since other automakers' warranties are upwards of 100k miles. I've taken good care of this vehicle and bought it brand new (in 2018) and would expect better of a Ford Vehicle. Coincidentally, my brother also owns a 2018 Ford Edge. He had the EXACT SAME issue with his Edge around the same mileage (70k miles) and had to replace his engine too- This is clearly a known issue on these vehicles. Also, this is a current recall and known issue on 1.5L engine, so it's clearly an issue on 2L engine too. For the safety of all 2L engine owners, this should absolutely be a full recall. I've been a lifelong Ford vehicle owner and driver and I would hope the customer service from Ford would be to treat this as a recall and take care of this.

The vehicle started giving red overheating signals to the dash. I put in coolant. A week later it happened again and the car would only go 5 MPH. I called a mechanic and was told that this EcoBoost 2.0L was defective and that is was very common for the head gaskets to fail and poor coolant into the block. I had the vehicle towed to this mechanic and he confirmed the engine needed to be replaced. He quoted repairs at $8,000. I called FORD Motor Co direct and they told me in order to get help with repairs I had to take it to a FORD Dealer and get it evaluated. I had it towed once again to the local Dealership. They evaluated the vehicle and stated that the engine and turbo were both defective and it would be $9,000 to repair. They told me that this vehicle would definitely catch on fire if I had driven it after the failure. FORD is now denying any help with repairs and told me good luck. This is a safety hazard to my life and wellbeing and I feel FORD is negligant.

I started seeing a Check Engine light (CEL) on the dash of my 2018 Ford Edge Titanium (approx. 95k miles) and also noticed that the car was misfiring during acceleration. I took the car to a mechanic who found error code P0303. The mechanic subsequently found a cracked spark plug in the 3rd cylinder and I directed them to replace all 4 spark plugs. CEL came back within a week (verified same code) and so I replaced all 4 firing coils but the CEL still came back (this time flashing). After taking the car into a local Ford Dealer for service, I was informed by dealer that the car fell under TSB 11-2229 (leaking coolant into cylinders) and that the only recourse was to replace the engine block. The leaking coolant could have caused the car to seize up while in operation (I believe this is why the CEL was flashing instead of steady on) and that if I was at highway speeds when the engine seized then this would have been catastrophic.

I had a engine failure on the highway causing me to holt to a stop! Lucky it was not super busy and was able to get pulled over safely without getting hit or hitting someone.Turns out I have coolant leaking into my cylinder 3 causing it to fail. Ford tech said it wasn't anything I did wrong most of these motors are going out! If this is that big of a problem why is ford not taking it apon themselves to recall this. From what I am hearing this problem is happening to alot of people. They are making me pay out of pocket for the repairs which just seems crazy because it was nothing I did wrong.

Earlier this year, I had a crack form in my engine block that resulted in coolant intrusion in the engine. This was a safety risk as it resulted in a complete failure of my engine, loss of all coolant and was a fire risk. Ford has had significant issues with this in multiple models and years, yet the 2018 Ford Edge continues to be excluded from these recalls. This issue did result in a recall in Canada and is pending a class action lawsuit on the 2018 Ford Edge. The lawsuit, entitled [XXX], et al. v. Ford Motor Company, is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, Case No. [XXX] . I required 2 repairs to remedy this known safety issue that the NHTSA has yet to acknowledge or require Ford to address. All of this with 38,000 miles on the vehicle. I have seen this exact issue addressed in model years before and after 2018, but have yet to see progress on remediation for the 2018 year.

My 2018 Ford Edge SEL AWD 2.0L Ecoboost just had a Long Block replacement due to a “Coolant Intrusion” into the engine. Got the vehicle back from the Ford dealership today. I had this car factory-built for myself in 2018, and I only have 28,000 miles on it! And GET THIS... the super-duper six-year extended Warranty I paid over $5,000 for when I bought the Edge expired just 5 WEEKS BEFORE THIS PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED. Talk about unfortunate timing! I have been reading on the internet about many, many people who are having the same problem with Ecoboost engines, due to a manufacturing defect that Ford has admitted to for certain makes/models/years with Ecoboost engines… and that the vehicles have caught on fire in some instances. Mind you, I have only taken my Edge to Ford dealerships. Like clockwork, I am VERY proactive about my car check-ups... and then some. I took it to the Ford dealership the day my "check engine" light came on (no other indications before that). I had my 1996 Ford Mustang convertible for 22 years before changing to this Edge, and that car still looked like new. I baby my cars. The day they told me what the problem was and that the Estimate was a $7,800 Long Block repair due to "Coolant Intrusion into the Engine", I looked it up on the internet and saw my same problem EVERYWHERE! This should have been a Recall. Is Ford waiting for people to die before they would do a Recall?

Defective Engine: Liquid leaking on to engine block causing engine to misfire. This is a known issue with ford for the 2018 ford edge.

Unknown. Seems like coolant is making it's way into the cylinders and disrupting combustion. A lot of sweet-smelling white smoke from exhaust when first starting. Engine code pointing to cylinder 1 misfire even though plugs and coils have been replaced. Shakes a bit when starting and overall lower performance.

My vehicle experienced what many of the Ford vehicles have had occur in this year range regarding the EcoBoost engine. My 2018 Ford Edge, maintained by the dealership since purchase, equipped with the EcoBoost 2.0 engine had coolant leak into the number one cylinder. Once this happens, there is no repair besides to replace the engine. Ford knows there an issue, even the service person told me this happens a lot with this model, but there is no recall at this time. They want $7,800 to change the engine block. Ford changed the design by scoring channels between the cylinders in an ill conceived attempt to increase cooling. This bad design allows coolant to degrade head gasket leading to coolant intrusion into cylinders. Inevitably, this leads to engine failure. Apparently, Ford redesigned the Ecoboost 2.0 engine around 2020 to eliminate this issue. Ford has not recalled these engines and apparently refuses to fix the issue if the vehicle is out of warranty. The Ecoboost 2.0 engines with this bad design WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL. This issue is the direct result of Ford’s bad design making these engines unmerchantable. I know this has been reported many times to the NFTSA and should be a major recall for this engine.

My check engine light came on, by the time they could get the car into the shop it would overheat and stall. It was found that the engine is leaking coolant into the wrong parts causing a misfire, the car is now non operable. It is well documented in TSB 19-2346, confirmed by dealership the engine needs to be replaced. My safety has been in great risk as it could have stalled at any time in any location while I was traveling with my kids. Ford is negligent in fixing a KNOWN issue

Check engine light appeared and the car ran rough. I took the car to an automotive repair shop. Spark plugs are misfiring into the cylinder causing coolant to leak into the engine. Then causing the engine block to crack. 2018 ford edge with only 38000 miles. The engine could start on fire and cause catastrophic failure. The car is not drivable and the mechanic cannot repair it without changing the whole engine out.

Owner of a 2018 Ford Edge SEL 2.0 L Eco Boost, approx. 40,000 miles. Started experiencing a dip in RMP’s while idling. Check engine light came on. Vehicle was registering a “misfire”. Uncertain if it was spark plugs, coil pack and/or head gasket the computer was reset and vehicle was given back. Engine light appears AGAIN. This time, local repair shop opened the cylinders and discovered a small amount of coolant and/or oil. Cylinders were cleaned and vehicle was given back. AGAIN, engine light appeared 3rd time and made an appointment with Scarsdale Ford Service. At FORD Service, spoke to “Ralph.” Initially, was informed it might just need sparks plugs. (KNOWING THERE’s A FLAWED ENGINE DESIGN THAT ALLOWS COOLANT TO ENTER THE ENGINE BLOCK ERODING EVERYTHING. So much so, that FORD has issued a “technical service bulletin” BUT refuses to recall the engine). Later, was told the engine needs to be replaced and it would cost $10k for repair. Spoke to Ford Customer Service who only filed a “request” for “up to $5k in repairs” which is not guaranteed. Awaiting judgement from that. AND they placed a request for “buy back” from all the forms which I am reading. I can only expect to be offered up to $3k. This is unacceptable. No one buys a car and expects it to last less than 50k miles. Also, knowing the ongoing issues with specifically the 2018 2.0 L Eco Boost, why wasn’t i informed of this sooner? Why was I not given options? Instead, it’s too late now. My engine is dead and sitting at Ford Service and no one at FORD seems to be helping. I can offer documentation of all of this and available by phone or email for any follow up questions.

they sold me a new car 2018 with a known engine defect and with only 40,000 miles it needs a new engine due to a engine defect where coolant enters the engine cylinders

There was a cylinder wall breach causing coolant intrusion in to the engine. It’s issue is extremely common with the 2.0 ecoboost engines. My service engine light came on and I checked all fluids coolant was low and it was showing a misfire in cylinder #3. Replaced the park plug and added coolant and service engine light when off so I kept driving it. A couple days later I was driving and my car started over heating on a highway causing significant loss of power having to pull over to the side of the road to avoid an accident with my grand children in the car [XXX] and a [XXX] . Check engine light is on again check the codes and now misfire in cylinder 4 and crank shaft position is off. I took it to a ford dealership and the only fix is to replace the engine at 90,000 miles??? This repair will cost (($8500)). I haven’t had the car inspected by police or insurance company. Thank God it didn’t cause an accident or catch fire do to my rapid response otherwise this could have caused a fire or accident or even the loss of life for me or my grandchildren. I can’t believe Ford is allowed to sell these vehicles with this much of a threat to the people that are driving them. My vehicle has to sit because I can’t afford an $8000 hit right now. It’ll render me homeless….I am currently making a $600 car payment and $145 insurance payment on a car that is technically totaled. I’m asking for rides to work and there are days that I don’t make it to work. I have tried to tread in the vehicle but only getting $4000 for the tread in??? My 2018 Edge AWD with leather interior is in mint condition minus the engine issue that they were aware of. This should be illegal!!

100,000 Miles ad 2 months out of warranty -- dealer indicated the check engine light code of P0302 is a collant intrusion and the entire engine needs to be replaced for $10,454. This appears to be a reoccuring problem with Ford Edge Ecoboost.

The engine began having a misfire around 58k miles and low coolant levels. No coolant drips or leaks were detected on the exterior. After some research I found that the 2.0 Ecoboost used in these vehicles is prone to coolant intrusion due to a defective engine block. After a trip the car unexpectedly would not start, it would crank over but it would not start. After sending it to my dealer they confirmed coolant intrusion and explained the car needed a new engine. The car was bought certified used, every service was done on time at a Ford dealer. There was no way to avoid the defective engine in this car, no amount of preventative maintenance would stop this from happening. Ford has a bulletin out on these engines, so they know there's an issue. There's no reason for a low mileage well cared for vehicle to need a replacement engine at 60k miles.

While driving vehicle on [XXX] Ocala, FL engine spontaneously overheated, which caused an immediate loss of engine power and a temporary loss of directional control as the power steering no longer functioned. I had the vehicle first towed to my house, and then had it towed to Gary Yeomans Ford Ocala. Their diagnosis led them to insist that coolant is intruding into the cylinder through the block itself, and the recommended course of action (under a very well known TSB) is to replace the long-block assembly. Ford is refusing to acknowledge this is a serious manufacturing defect that impacts customer safety, exposing the driver and the driving public to the possibility of an engine fire due to overheating, an accident due to inability to maintain directional control of the vehicle in an overheat scenario, and myriad other potential life-safety issues. Ford is making zero effort to assist their customers - a long block and assembly is almost $8000 - I barely had the money to make the payments and this may very well send me into bankruptcy.

My check engine light came on but it was driving fine and we checked all of the fluids and everything was okay and the light went off and then two days later I had a alert pop up while driving that my engine was hot and overheating pull over to find that I have no coolant randomly and we don’t know where it’s going. Had it looked at and they couldn’t figure out where it was going either. Two weeks pass and I’m driving on the highway and my car starts shaking and the check engine light is flashing while white smoke is blowing out from exhaust and from under my hood and had to call 911 because I thought my car had caught fire. Pulled over to find all of my oil all under my car and all on the ground. Had the car towed back home so I could take it to the shop as the incident happened on Memorial Day. The shop looked at it and figured it was my head gasket valve covers so I had that replaced just for oil to still be leaking and now come to find out that it’s seaming to be my cylinder has gone out along with multiple other issues. Finding out that ford knows about this issue with these vehicles irritates me even more. The car is still in shops a month later.

Coolant intrusion into cylinder number 2. Engine runs really rough and we cannot drive it until we get the engine replaced. A KNOWN issue that ford isn't covering even though they released a TSB stating it is a manufacturer defect because they made the cylinder walls too thin between cylindersnumber 2 and 3. Myself and who knows how many others are out $5000 to $9000 for repairs on vehicles we still owe a lot of money on. Some of these failures have lead to engine fires. Now I have a $40k car in my garage I can't drive for fear of fire and have to spend a fortune to fix. Please make ford own up to this and fix our vehicles!

Recently, I purchased a 2018 Ford Edge from an outside dealership. I have been dealing with a misfire since November of 2023. A few days after I got the car the engine light came on, the dealership I bought it from supposedly "fixed" the car three times. First time was a bad coil in cylinder 1 thought it was fixed a few days later engine light comes back on I go to O'reilly's to get a free diagnostic check and it says misfire cylinder 1 so i take it back to them they say someone over lubed some parts putting it back in, they fix it. Now after this second time around is when I start noticing my coolent is disappearing and then a few days go by engine light comes back on and now im starting to feel thw miafire slightly so i let them know thinking it could be why im having a misfire. so i take it back in this time it was a clogged full injector in cylinder 1 and then they also check my coolent but i got charged for that "seperate" diagnosis they couldnt find anything leaking or any back head gasket so thought it was all good to go then a week goes by and the engine light comes back on now this time i tell them and thwy have me take it do a different shop for a second opinion, and they found coolent leaking into my cylinder 1. I called Ford to let them know because I am aware that this particular 2.0L ecoboost engine is under recall in a lot of cars and when i looked it up it said that 2015-2018 forde ege models qualifyfor this 2020 ford ecoboist engine recall but the ford service lady said they will not help me because my specific VIN number is not included in the recall, but for my safety and the fact that the engine was under recall I beleave they should fix my car.

Coolant is being used up but not leaking anywhere on the ground. It is mis-firing. It has run out of coolant - with NO leak found anywhere. Check engine light comes on and goes off. Looks like the Ford Fusion Recall Issue but there is no recall on my VIN. I cannot afford to repair this defect. Can you do anything to assist my 2018 Ford Edge with its internal coolant leak?

I have a 2018 Ford Edge SEL with 36,460 miles on it. Problem began a few months ago on startup, engine would shudder for a few seconds then clear up, no check engine light came on. A few weeks later I experienced the same issue but the engine light came on! The repair shop changed the ignition coil, the spark plugs and the #2 cylinder injector! Vehicle ran well for a few weeks. While driving on [XXX] in Virginia the engine misfired and the check engine light came on, I found a Ford Dealership nearby and had them do a diagnostic check on the engine! I was informed by the service manager that the problem was “coolant intrusion” in the #2 cylinder! He provided me with the technical service bulletin #22-2229 which clearly states that to correct the problem “the long block engine assembly” must be replaced! Price quoted for this repair was $7,000 plus labor! My local dealership filed a claim with Ford, waiting to hear back from them, not holding my breath!

Coolant is leaking into cylinder 1 causing the engine to fail and needing to be replaced

Engine light came on. Running rough. Low engine coolant. Dealer said code was a misfire in Cylinder #2 and coolant was leaking into cylinder #2. Said engine needs to be replaced for $8300.

I own a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with a 4 cylinder 2.0 Liter engine. After experiencing check engine light my local dealer stated I need a new engine because of a defect that causes coolant to leak into the engine’s cylinders, which can cause corrosion, oil dilution and contamination, and engine failure. The car does not run now and is parked. I HAVE READ SAFETY ISSUE REPORTS FROM MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS LEAD TO THE ENGINE MISFIRING BADLY CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ALSO SOME CASES OF VEHICLE CATCHING FIRE.

I had my car serviced. I drove less than a mile and noticed the check engine light was on. I called the dealer to see if they could check it as I had to drive 120 miles round trip for a doctor’s appointment that day. I was told it indicated a misfire but not to be concerned; I was told it was ok to drive. They cleared the error message and told me I was good to go. The check engine light came on sporadically for a week then stayed on permanently. I called on a Friday and got it in for diagnostics the following Monday (2 weeks from servicing date.) I was told after diagnostics that the coolant was low and they needed 2 hours to remove a spark plug and check cylinder 3. I was advised that they had seen this issue previously on other Ford vehicles and it was not a cheap fix if what they suspected was happening. The Service department later confirmed there was a coolant intrusion (coolant was leaking into cylinder 3.) I was told that this has been an issue for Ford and they have redesigned the block so this can no longer happen. It would just be a matter of time before the engine would be ruined on my vehicle (2018 Ford Edge with slightly over 52000 miles.) Ford knows they have a problem with the design of the engine of the 2018 Ford Edges but they are handling each vehicle individually instead of voluntarily fixing all of them. I do not have an extended warranty so they may offer some financial assistance for the repair but if I had warranty coverage it would be entirely covered. They are pricing assistance based on warranty coverage. Ford knows they have a problem; they have redesigned the engine to eliminate the coolant intrusion. A new redesigned engine is what the dealer would put in my vehicle.

2018 Ford Edge, well maintained, 67k miles. Coolant is leaking into Cylinder 4 through is microhole that can cause the engine to explore. The dealership quoted me nearly $11,000 to fix. The car according to Kelley Blue Book is worth that much. This care should be recalled IMMEDIATELY. There is a class action lawsuit against for for this very problem. It is not safe and ford is totally scamming customers out of money based on a manufacturing defect.

Car began bucking at first and running rough about 82000 miles on it I changed plugs and shortly after it started again. It began to over heat when I drove from Maine to KY. I found it was low on Coolant. I had to fill it again a month or so later. Mechanic did not find any coolant leaks. I brought it to ford and they told me coolant was getting into the cylinders and I need an engine replacement. I am [XXX] drive like an old man and no reason engine should fail the way I drive I understand Ford recalled the 1.5 echo boost but not the 2.0 and they were made with the same defect.

Engine failed due to coolant intrusion on cylinder two! Been experiencing coolant loss with no evidence of where it was going. Have had multiple pressure tests performed with no results of a leak. Started experiencing a spurts of misfire when accelerating up hill or on a high at speeds of 60-75MPH, inconsistently. Happened again on 05/07/2024, called my local dealership and was advised to bring it in to have a tech take a drive. On that drive he was able to replicate misfire to the point a check engine light appeared while my edge was experiencing misfire. When misfire stopped engine light shut off. Once we were back the tech performed diagnostic measures and found coolant spewing into the engine. Resulting in the need of a new engine.

My car is only 6 years old. I have maintained my car for the past 5 years of ownership. My car now needs a complete engine replacement due to coolant leaking into the cylinders. This was looked at by my local Ford dealership. After reading through other reviews it appears that other owners have experienced the exact same issue. I also was told my the dealership that Ford Escapes experienced the exact same issue and there was a recall. My car shakes and rattles and is unsafe to drive. I was told my the dealership that I could still drive it, but it is unknown when the engine will completely fail. I am a mom of two children and I cannot drive a car that could just randomly fail! My check engine line appeared about 2 weeks ago before I could get an appointment to be seen.

Right after I returned home from a 1500 mile trip on a Saturday, my car started having an issue starting. Once I got it started and drove to the store, the Service Engine Soon light came on so I returned home. I checked the owners manual & it said I could drive 50-100 miles so I did make some required stops on Sunday. Had an issue starting the car again. On Monday I called a repair shop & took it in to them on Tuesday morning. They diagnosed the problem as Engine Intrusion - an internal issue causing coolant getting into the engine. They found coolant on the pistons & the TSB says to replace the engine. I contacted Ford Customer service & they had me bring it to a Ford Dealer - who diagnosed the same issue. I have followed all of Ford's maintenance recommendations for my car. If the issue had happened while on my trip home, I would have hesitated to stop so could have risked my safety or others.

Due to a Ford design flaw my car has experienced what is called "coolant intrusion". TSB 19-2346. My check engine light appeared, solid in color and I brought it in for service/check on [XXX] at Apple Ford in Shakopee, MN. Diagnostics showed a P0302 Cylinder 2 misfire detected. The car was running rough on start-up and idle but once warm would run fine. Replaced all spark plugs & boots as it appeared some corrosion occurred on them. On [XXX] in the AM I was leaving my house to go to work. I pulled out from my townhouse complex onto the road and my car would not accelerate leaving me in the middle of the road. I had to shift my car into neutral and back into drive to be able to move from the middle of the road. Thankfully no other cars were coming at the time to avoid a collision. Once I was back in drive my car would accelerate but the check engine light came back on. I brought it into the dealership on [XXX] and the same code came up P0302 of a cylinder 2 misfire. I was unable to be without a vehicle so I continued to drive it. Thursday the check engine light was no longer illuminated. It did not come back on. I decided to still have it checked as I did not want to be stuck in the middle of the road again unable to accelerate with my child in the car. Dropped it back off Friday night for them to diagnostic again on Saturday AM. I was then called and told I was needing to replace the entire engine due to the design flaw of Ford. Coolant was leaking into cylinder 2 causing the misfire. The only fix is to get a new engine. My car is currently at the Apple Ford Shakopee dealership awaiting the possibility to be fixed.

In 2015 Ford Motor Company made an engine block modication on the 2.0 Liter Ecoboost (USA made) engines in an effort to keep the turbo boosted engine running cooler. The engine was used till 2019 in Edge and Escape models. For 2020 to current year the engines were redesigned ending the problem. At the end of 2023 I began experiencing a rough idle at times, check engine light displaying, white smoke from the exhaust and intermittent stalling. I was advised by a Ford dealer that I had coolant in my #3 cylinder indicating the problematic block. Ford's TSB (#19-2346 12/19/19) fix was a new engine assembly and also stated itcould result in a engine fire. A estimate roughly $8800.00. I purchased the Edge September 2022 with 32,000 miles. Ford would not extend any warranty coverage since the 5yr drivetrain warranty had passed. Currently the like new Edge (40K miles) sits in my driveway because my daughter is affraid to stall in traffic again with her 7 year old with her.

On [XXX], at a little less than 80,000 miles, the service engine soon light came on one day and my car ran rough. However, it went off for the next day and ran fine, but went back on a few days later and ran rough once again. I took it the Liberty Ford in Parma, OH on [XXX]. They performed an electronic engine diagnostics and determined that the vehicle did run rough and that there was a miss fire in cylinder 3. Based on the Ford bulletin related to this engine, they followed procedure and performed a tune up and replaced the cylinder. I was advised that the bulletin also indicated that there could be a coolant intrusion into the engine assembly. However, Ford requires the service department to follow the process and that is why they did the cylinder replacement. If the engine light came on again in the next few hundred miles, it could be the engine and I should bring it back in.

In early 2023 I was driving on the highway and the engine shut down with a low coolant message on the dashboard. After a couple different trips to different mechanics, the local Ford dealer determined there was coolant intrusion in the engine block due to a cracked block. On approx 4/10/23 we ordered the vehicle to be fixed at a cost of $7329.04. Ford customer service was unwilling to help with the issue. This is a known issue among ecoboost Ford engines of this generation. So much so that there was a recall for the 1.5l engines(this is a 2.0l). We called Ford customer service who seemed like they were going to help at first but once the supervisor came on she told us she would not help and "if we truly cared about our vehicle we would have purchased an extended warranty". I personally know 4 other people who have been struck by the ecoboost bug and have had to replace their engines due to the coolant intrusion issue. This issue is a safety issue as the vehicle will shut down once it rears its head.

Coolant intrusion into the cylinder. This is a known issue by Ford for a 2018 Edge. The repair calls for replacement of the long block assembly. Since this is a known issue, Ford needs to issue a recall for full replacement, even after warranty expires. This vehicle currently has 74,000 miles.

Check engine light will appear. Vehicle is blowing number two cylinder along with spark plug every two weeks. It is going through large amounts of antifreeze. Drives as if it is bogged down and shifts very hard and loud. While driving is shakes from front end. I have brought vehicle to a master mechanic and has started that the head gasket will eventually break or could catch fire. This is a on going issue at this time.

Car started to misfire and engine light came on. I took it to the autobody shop and was told I have coolant leakibg unto the combustion chamber and my car needs a new engine!

The contact's son owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the low coolant warning light illuminated. The contact's son drove the vehicle to his residence and parked the vehicle. The next day, the contact’s son attempted to start the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed engine and that the engine needed to be replaced.

The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.

My car began running rough and a check engine light came on. I took it to a reputable repair shop and the car presented a code indicating a problem with cylinder #4, so they proceeded with a routine tune up. The problem (rough idle and check engine light), then the heater quit working then without any warning the engine coolant temperature warning light came on. The shop examined the car to discover coolant was leaking into the cylinders. This problem is a known defect apparently, known not by me, but by the Ford Motor Co who sold this car with an engine they knew was defective and did not ever warn me. I am grateful the light came on while I was in the city and not out on an isolated highway somewhere without cell service. This is a very dangerous situation. My engine cannot be repaired it has to be replaced! There was no cracked manifold, no blown motor, just this leakage that is the result of a serious design flaw, so serious that Ford quit manufacturing the engine and replaced it with a Series 2 version (it is an ecoboost engine) and my new engine will be the Series 2. I can't even buy the original engine as it has been pulled from the market. But my car was sold new to me in August, 2018 with this flawed engine. I am including pictures the mechanic has taken of the coolant in the engine. The mechanic would not allow me to pick up my car and drive it after discovering this issue as he said it was a safety issue and could lead to my or other driver's injury or fatality. That's pretty serious. the engine replacement is going to cost me $8700 plus the cost of the previous repairs and a rental car for a week while the car is repaired. That is a lot of money for a widow.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light remained illuminated, and the vehicle was vibrating abnormally.

I was driving to a client and while on the interstate the alarm for engine temperature high came on. I pulled off immediately and put my emergency flashers on. I turned off the engine and waited 15 minutes as the manual said to do. I immediately went to buy anti freeze because it was low which was strange because we had the vehicle for two months at this point. Once I put the coolant in I checked the oil and it was fine. The car was ok and ran fine for about 1 week.We had made several calls to the dealership to have it repaired but they would not tow it at first until.ot broke down. Three weeks later. I called Ford because there is a class action lawsuit against them for failing to notify owners of a possible defect with the leak in engine coolant. Now the car needs a new engine because of a blown head gasket which the car was not driven very much after the initial incident happened it was only driven when we thought it was okay we did not know how serious the problem was until we researched the fact that it could have caught on fire it could have broke down in the middle of the highway thankfully the day that it broke down I was getting ready to take my son to school and it stopped right there in the middle of the driveway I could not get it to my parking spot so it was almost in the middle of our street. They finally agreed to have it towed without payment from us because we did not know about any issues and this came on all of a sudden with the car being not that old we did not expect this to be a problem or did we know how serious it was if someone from the dealership or someone from Ford would have let us know that there was a potential engine coolant problem then we could have had it remedied much sooner but with the dealership being many miles away we could not drive it there to have it serviced. I talked to Ford and they said to call or report it to the place I'm reporting it to right now because they said there's nothing they can do to help.

Coolant leaking into the cylinders. Repair is a new engine block. Nothing can be done to prevent it. Ford even has a technical service bulletin about the problem but have not recalled the vehicle for the issue. Car has only 82000 miles and is a 2018 and now having to pay for a new engine.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine warning light had been illuminated.

After noticing the car ran rough at start up, the "check engine" light illuminated and white smoke appeared under the vehicle, the car was immediately towed to a Ford dealership. Because of the smell and white smoke, it was known that this issue was with the antifreeze/coolant for the vehicle. Once towed and checked out, the service provider found coolant had leaked between cylinders 2 and 3. This was caused by a leaking head gasket and/or faulty design of the engine's coolant system. Because of the leakage, the service department of the Ford dealership contacted me and told me that I would need the long block replaced and it is costing me $4,723.66 to repair a problem that was a manufacturing issue. This issue is a safety concern because the leakage causes the engine to overheat and either shut down or catch fire from the coolant being in the wrong spot. Thankfully, my family is unharmed because I noticed the issue, but this is something that should be repaired. The vehicle only has 75,000 miles on it as a 2018. The standard warranty was expired, but the vehicle should be able to last longer than this mileage without having an engine replaced. This is a well known issue with this vehicle, as a Technicians Service Bulletin has bee made for it. Due to the safety issues, I believe that Ford should be responsible for this cost and a recall should be made to ensure the safety of Ford Edge drivers. I know that other models of Ford vehicles have been recalled and are experiencing the same problems.

My vehicle has the 2.0 Ecoboost 2018 engine has developed a misfire in the number 2 cylinder. Vehicle is at a Ford dealership engine block has a manufactured defect coolant leaking into cylinder.

Last July my check engine light came on giving us a P0302 code. We had the spark plugs changed. It went away for a week then came back on with the same code. We had the coil packs changed. Same thing. Went away for a week then returned. Now dealership is saying they want $9,000+ to replace time engine for an issue that has been known to Ford since 2010 with this engine.with less than 70,000 miles on it, white smoke is pouring out of my car, the engine is overheating and coolant is leaking. I’m told that this can cause a fire or worse, a wreck. I have children that I transport daily in this vehicle seeing how it’s our only means of transportation and we dont have the money to replace the engine much less buy a replacement vehicle. Ford needs to be held accountable for selling these faulty cars, putting families in danger and fix these issues NOW!!! Why wait for someone to die before they actually take a stand and fix their issue when they know thousands of customers are having the exact same issues. Such a disappointment!

We bought a new 2018 Ford edge with eco boost paid for the extra extended warranty …this pass Oct coolant is now leaking into the number 2 cylinder now the fix is a new engine which is 9000 and Ford only covering 3000 of it. Luckily husband is a me and knew to park the car until we got it into Ford for diagnosis. The engine can lock up at any time who’s to know when Would not be a good outcome on the highway Much less the shady deals of Ford not covering engines and selling them knowing this design flaw is their doing Who sticks up for the little people buying their 40000 cars and have no recourse

I have a 2018 Ford Edge SEL with a 2.0 L engine and 63,550 miles. The EcoBoost engine has coolant intrusion into the cylinders due to a design flaw in the engine where the head gasket fails. Ford has a TSB bulletin (TSB 19-2346) they sent out that requires a new engine replacement for this issue. This issue has been present in 2015-2018 Ford edge and occurs usually when the warranty expires. This relates to safety in that the engine can fail or catch fire. I took it in to a Ford dealer and they said I would need an engine replacement costing $8,100. My car has not been inspected by the manufacturer but I called them and was told that they had no program available to help me. I did contact the dealer I purchased the use car from and they said they couldn't do anything to help me. The MIL (check engine light) came on 2 weeks after I purchased the car from the dealer and when I checked under the hood I found the coolant reservoir empty. I now have payments on a car that needs an engine replacement for $8,100.

Eco boost engine is less than four years old and coolant leaked into engine. This should never happen on a four year old vehicle. Ford put out a “bulletin” on this, not a recall, but never informed me of it directly. When we contacted Ford told us we were out of luck. Cost me 7k to fix. Internet says this is happening way more often than it should be. My mechanic told me this should only happen to vehicles with hundreds of thousands of miles. He was as stunned as we were. This could have killed me. I’m fortunate that I decided to have it looked at. The cost was significant, but my life is worth more. A recall should be triggered. Ford knows it, lawyers know it, the Feds should know it too.

Please help because I don't have this kind of money to put in a vehicle that has this problem this early in with this low mileage.

The motor is shot. A known problem from Ford is not being addressed. Coolant leaking into the cylinder which can cause car to catch on fire. I bought a platinum extended warranty from where I bought the car but they will not fix because of a TSB and Ford won't fix because problem is not recalled. I lost over $18,000 on this vehicle and had to buy another car.

My vehicle, along with many other Ford Edge owners, has coolant intruding into the #2 engine cylinder, which causes engine misfires, and has caused others engines to crack and have a engine fire. Ford is aware that the head was ground incorrectly during manufacturing, which allows the head gasket to fail. Ford has issued tech service bulletin 19-2346 There is a recall in Canada, we need one in the US. This issue typically takes time and mileage, and in my case and others the manufacturers engine warranty has expired. The fix for my 2.0L engine is a total replacement. Thanks for your time.

Engine coolant is leaking. Some times white smoke comes out of exhaust. Causes car to rattle and shake. Spent over $600 to get diagnosed and saying new engine needed.

My name is [XXX] my husband and I have been working with Chapman Ford on a situation with my 2018 Ford Edge. Currently the Edge needs an Engine replacement according to TSB #'s 19-2208,19-2346,22-2133 and 22-2229. This stems from a design flaw issue starting with the 2015 Edge according to the TSB's. The cost to replace the engine is $7030.95, Chapman Ford put in a GCCT Case and got approval for $2,812.38 of the total cost for a known design flaw that should probably have been a recall or at the very least extended the warranty to 150K like Ford has done on other engines with the same issue, but not my model. Ford is telling me I need to pay $4,200 out of pocket to replace the entire engine. I only have 70,000 miles on the vehicle. I feel like I'm getting the run around when it comes to Ford. We have called the company directly and they told us since Ford Chapman made the offer to reduce the cost by $2,800.00, they cannot extend further coverage for the cost. I'm confused here, why am I paying for a design flaw? Why was there not a recall? Can you help? What really upsets me is Ford never notified me of this problem, it was not disclosed when I purchased the vehicle, nor did they diagnose it when my engine light came on. A third party was the one to alert us to the issue and the bulletin. [XXX] [XXX] . [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My Edge overheated on me and had it towed to Ford dealership where they diagnosed my car as having coolant leaking into my cylinders and ruined my engine. Ford is aware of this and does not care at all. I want to join the class action lawsuit over this issue. I’m stuck owing 23,000 on a car i can’t drive and engine replacement isn’t a smart idea since they won’t fix the coolant issue and it will just happen again.

Cylinder engine misfires due to a faulty manufactured head gasket. Ford motor co was apparently aware of the manufacturing flaw but has yet to issue a recall on certain Ford Edge models sold manufactured and sold between 2013 -2018. The solution to the problem requires a completely new engine with average cost ranging between $6,000 to $8,000 dollars. If these particular models are driven without the requisite repairs it can result in complete engine failure of fires. This presents a serious hazard to drivers and occupants of the vehicle as well as other motorists.

I am experiencing a coolant leak into the engine of my vehicle. I was told there was a recall for many 2015-2018 Ford Edge's but it seems mine is not one of them. This is exactly like the recall I see that is 20V469000. I am trying to find out how to get someone to look into my issue and see about getting me included in this recall or any others that are associated with coolant leaking into the engine.

I have a 2018 Ford Edge 2.0L Ecoboost with approximately 68,000 miles on it. While driving the vehicle on June 12, 2023, the check engine light began to come on and off intermittently. During this time, the vehicle began to heavily shake and began to involuntarily jerk as though it was having issues moving forward. I took the vehicle straight to a Firestone where they ran diagnostic tests for 2 days. They tried replacing spark plugs but said that is not the issue. They recommended taking the vehicle to a dealership. An appointment was made and the car dropped off at a Ford dealership on June 21,2023. After running more tests, the dealership is stating that there is a manufacturing defect with the engine block which has caused coolant leakage into the engine, damaging the engine so extensively that it needs to be replaced. I was quoted around $8,000 for repairs. I have an extended warranty with a 3rd party company who is denying my claim due to the issue being a manufacturing issue. I have done research and found this to be a common issue with this year make and model and that the issue could cause a fire or catastrophic failure. After extensive research, it seems this is a common issue with owners of this make and model and this engine. There have been hundreds of complaints filed. This should be a recall as people can be severely hurt in the event of fire or catastrophic failure. And most people do not have nearly $10,000 to spend to replace an issue that is common and well known at this point. I have been without a vehicle for over 2 weeks now and have no idea if or how this vehicle will be repaired.

Brought in for a check engine light on. They found that coolant was leaking into motor causing it to Misfire. Dealer said a new long block was the only fix. My car had 64k miles and it cost me $8438.58. The dealer stated that Ford won’t help with the cost because I haven’t bought enough Ford products (This is my 2nd) or had my vehicle serviced at a Ford dealer. The car is currently going back in the shop on Wednesday because the light went on again after a brand new motor was installed.

My 2018 ford edge coolant has hairline cracks which caused coolant to leak into the engine. I was unaware of this until it was taken to a Ford service center when the check engine light came on. Ford knows about this and has a bulletin out for it. The engine is burning this coolant and it could cause the engine to overheat.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the check engine warning light would intermittently flash on the instrument panel. Over time, the vehicle began to shudder at start up with the temperature gauge warning symbol flashing on the instrument panel. The contact's father inspected the vehicle and discovered that the coolant reservoir was empty. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the engine block had cracked, and the engine needed to be replaced.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the ignition coil and spark plugs. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred an additional four times before the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired.

My car was mis-firing, AutoZone ran a diagnostic test and said it was the #2 cylinder. We replaced all of the spark plugs and cylinders and it was still mis-firing. O’Reilly’s ran a diagnostic test and said it was the #2 and #3 cylinders. I was then driving to the store and got a warning message that the car was overheating. I stopped and we looked and there was no coolant. We contacted a local mechanic who said he had seen this problem before in other Ford Edge’s that the coolant was leaking into the cylinders and when the car warmed up and burned off the coolant it ran like it was not mis-firing, and that is exactly what my Ford Edge was doing. We were told by the Ford dealership that we would need to replace the long block and Ford was not issuing a recall because this particular Edge was not made at a certain plant. Well they need to include the plant where this Edge was made because it has the same coolant intrusion problem.

My 2.0L EcoBoost engine is having the coolant intrusion into the cylinder issue that Ford has acknowledge in a technical service bulletin, but is not doing anything about it. There is a design flaw with this engine and Ford has redesigned in in later years, but has not issued a recall. The coolant reservoir is getting low and there are no signs of leak under the vehicle as it is leaking into the cylinder. I was getting DTCs for cylinder 2 misfire and my car would shake on startup some times. I changed the spark plugs and ignition packs at 100k and noticed that the cylinder 2 spark plugged looked more brown/burnt (it was burning coolant in the cylinder) than he other 3. The coolant has been low (below the min mark) and I have topped it off 3 times already as the issue keeps reoccurring. Coolant in the cylinder is an issue and low coolant could cause the engine to overheat and blow at any point and could be a catastrophic accident waiting to happen. I spoke about the symptoms over the phone to the service guy at my local Ford dealer and he was already familiar with this issue and confident that I have it based on our conversation. I have plans to take it to my mechanic to have them inspect it as well as the dealer.

Please Note: I filed a previous complaint (#11511950) on 03/15/2023. Please refer to Ford Technical Service Bulletin TSB 22-2229 issued in June 2022 regarding coolant intrusion into cylinder head on 2017 - 2020 Ford Ecoboost 2.0L engines. Due to a faulty design all of these engines are all destined for total failure. In their own technical service bulletin Ford describes the appropriate fix as total engine replacement. Because of what should surely be considered Ford's manufacturing defect, coolant inevitably intrudes into the cylinder head(s) mixing coolant with the fuel. Once this has begun it is only a matter of time before the engine fails. If such a total engine failure (hydrolock) occurrs at speed the results could be catastrophic, leading to deaths and injuries. Under these circumstances it is difficult to understand why there has not been a recal on these faulty engines. Further, Ford has already offered owners of Ford vehicles with the Ecoboost 1.5L engines, subject to the same problem for the same reason, total engine replacement regardless of mileage.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that during the past winter, whenever the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light or stop sign, the heater would blow out cold air through the vents. The contact stated that later the check engine warning light would become illuminated, and the vehicle would start to make abnormal engine sounds as if the engine was chugging. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that coolant was leaking into cylinder #2. The contact was advised that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to TSB: 19-2346 Coolant in Cylinders (Engine and Engine Cooling). The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.

Question 1 answer: Last month, the check engine light on my 2018 Ford Edge came on. So, we took it to the Ford dealership for repairs 0n 5/3/2023. The service center said that there was a problem with one of the spark plugs and replaced it. The cost was $193.47. Following the repair, the check engine light was reset and the car ran smoothly. I took the car on a trip and drove it around 1,000 miles. The check engine light came on again. I returned the car to the same dealership service center on 5/26/2023. Ford told me (see receipt) there was a code P0302 and P0316 and indicated cylinder #2 was misfiring. Receipt said checked all cylinders and pistons for discoloration. Cylinder #2 was badly discolored. Vehicle has coolant intrusion in cylinders - needs motor. This bill was $180. Service desk personnel asked whether I had an extended warranty since vehicle was at 68,352 miles. I said, "no." Service desk told me that I needed a new motor and the cost would be around $10,000! Service desk also told me that this was a common problem with several Ford models including the Edge, Focus, and Fusion. Yes, it is available for inspection upon request unless we sell or trade it. Question 2: The only safety issue may be that I could have been out on the road if the engine failed. Question 3: See Question 1 answer and attached receipt from car dealership service center Question 4: No, unless you consider the Ford dealership service center as "the manufacturer." Question 5: Prior to each car dealership service center visit, the car ran rough upon starting and the check engine light came on and stayed on until it went to the repair shop. It takes time to get an appointment scheduled. So, each time the situation occurred, it took approximately one week to schedule a repair visit. Also, please note that the address shown on the dealership receipt is my previous address. I've entered my current address where prompted.

I took my car in for Ford Recalls to be performed and asked for the tech to check out why my Check engine light came on. Initially they could not find what caused it so they charged me close to $500 to do an in depth investigation and found that I had a crack in my engine that was causing coolant to leak into it. It could not be repaired and I would have to replace the engine. My car only had just over 65,000 miles on it, and unfortunately just over the warranty. So I was charged $7,000 to replace it. When I called the main Ford Customer Service number I was told that this seems to be a common issue with this year and model but there was nothing that I could do about it, short of a recall being issued for the engine problem. I had no other choice but to replace the engine as driving it could leave me stranded somewhere which was not an option. I was without the use of my car for three weeks with no assistance from Ford. The fact that this is a known issue but still was not covered is ridiculous. I previously owned a 1998 Ford Explorer Sport with over 300,000 miles on it and never had an issue with my engine. I believe that since this is a known issue with this Ford year, make and model that there should be recall issued so that consumers are not having to deal with this very expensive inconvenience. Thank you.

I own a 2018 ford edge sel whose flex plate has cracked. Ford has stated that their edge models between the years 2015-2018 have faulty flex plates, which are prone to cracking and shattering. I noticed a change one day in how the vehicle was running, and the next day heard the rattle coming from the engine. I took it to a shop I trust and with a quick inspection they determined that it was in fact, a broken flex plate. The estimated cost that was was quoted was at minimum $1640.00. I've contacted ford about the issue, which they've acknowledged, but because I'm over the milage for financial support from them, they refused to help me. This has put a massive strain on me due to the fact that the car is my only source of transportation, and beyond that, has caused me a loss financially due to its negative effect on my work.This is a serious issue that ford has publicly acknowledged, but refuses to take responsibility for. It is not only financially straining, but dangerous for anyone whose vehicle is affected by this faulty part. All I want is for the issue to be resolved, be reimbursed for the money I've had to pay out of pocket for the repair due to faulty parts that ford has already acknowledged. I ask that you take this complaint serious and hold the ford motor company accountable for the issues they have caused and acknowledged in these models.

4/2/23 the check engine light appeared on the dashboard of this 2018 Ford edge. It started to run rough on a cold start. A sweet smell, and a small amount of white smoke from the tail pipe. After several days of this morning being illuminated, an engine, coolant, overheat warning appeared on the dash. This caused the car to slow considerably. This vehicle was independently assessed at a Ford dealership at which time it was confirmed that there was coolant leaking into the engine, causing the engine to overheat. This is a significant safety hazard, potentially causing an engine failure or car fire. an engine failure or car fire. This causes a significant risk to the operator and passengers inside vehicle, as well as other occupants on the road. Should the engine fail. This car is available for additional independent assessment, if needed.

The engine that Ford has had issues with 2.3 Ecoboost was leaking coolant into the engine causing it to misfire and burnt the turbo up and the engine.

Engine Failure, verified by Ford Leesburg Dealership check engine light came on when engine was failing drove straight to the dealership

Check engine light came on, I read it with my code reader and it showed as a cylinder 3 misfire. I ordered spark plugs to replace to see if that was the issue. A few days later I noticed my heat would blow cold when I was idling. I checked under my hood and noticed that my coolant levels were extremely low. Bought coolant and filled my reservoir back up and checked it the next day, it was back down to the extremely low level. I ended up taking my vehicle to the mechanic and he told me that my coolant was leaking into my engine and that I should go back to the dealership I got the car from. Never in a million years would I have thought that my car troubles were going to be this expensive, especially considering that I just got the vehicle only 7 months ago! He also informed me that this was a known issue with Ford. After going back to the dealership, they told me I would need to replace my engine. Unlucky me, the warranty expired literally two weeks before this all happened. A case was opened up with Ford and they told me they could not do anything to help me and that I would have to pay out of my own pocket to fix this, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD! After doing my own research on it, I see that several other people are having this same exact issue and are also having to pay out of their own pockets due to lack of help from Ford. Ford should be held liable for this, as it is their design flaw. Why are consumers forced to pay upwards of $5,500 out of their own pocket, on top of the cost of the vehicle, when this is obviously on Ford. A recall needs to be issued and Ford needs to reimburse the many people who have paid an ungodly amount out of their own pockets to fix this!

I've took my car to the dealership and been advise that I need to replace my engine. The most common issue is the coolant leakage into the engine. This leads to engine misfiring. I was advise from the dealership I ned to have my engine replacement. After researching, I see alot of compliants on the coolant leaking into the engine, this should be a recall.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle started shaking and vibrating. The contact pulled over and turned off and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle regained normal function. The contact stated the check engine warning was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that coolant had entered the engine cylinder bore and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The contact had researched online and related the failure to manufacturer Technical Service Bulletin: 19-2346 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The failure mileage was approximately 53,000.

We purchased this used vehicle, a Ford Edge Titanium with an Ecoboost 2.0 engine on January 19, 2023 from the Kia Store in Clarksburg, Indiana. During the first 30 days while still under dealership warranty the Check Engine Light (CEL) lit up. A scan at a local repair shop on January 31, 2023 indicated a misfire on Cylinder 3. (p0303) When the CEL lit up again tech at the Kia dealership examined the vehicle on February 06, 2023 and said that nothing appeared to be wrong with the vehicle. When the CEL lit up again and we took the car back to the local repair shop who recommended all new spark plugs. That repair was performed. A few days later the CEL lit up again and a new ignition coil for cylinder 3 was recommended and that repair was performed. Recently, the CEL has lit up yrt sgsom and we also noticed that the vehicle is consuming coolant. There are no leaks and no coolant on the floor. After some research I discovered that these 2018 Ford Ecoboost engines appear to have a significant deaign flaw. In 2017 Ford stopped using a "closed deck" design in favor of an "open deck" design. Since then coolant intrusion into cylinders, mostly cylinders 2 and 4 have become commonplace. I understand that in 2022 Ford actually sent our a service bulletin (I think that is what it was) about this design flaw. I also understand that Ford routinely declines to cover the repairs if the vehicle is out of warranty, which we are. Unfortunately the indicated repair is a long block relacement. When we puchased the vehicle we also purchased a 3rd party extended warranty. If and when we suffer a breakdown that requires a replacement engine, the extended warranty covers the costs. Above and beyond the engine replacement costs, if this engine fails while we are driving it, the results could be catastrophic for us and others on the road.

I took my car in because the check engine light came on. I've been told that coolant is leaking in my engine and the only repair option is to replace the engine. When I did some research online, this is a known issue for the model/year of car. There are many reports of it happening. The cost of this is $10,000. I was not in an accident. I take excellent care of my car. This is a known manufacturer issue.

Coolant leaking into the engine - replacement of engine needed.

I was driving on interstate route 22 in Derry Twp. Pa. when the engine started to shake and the vehicle started to slow down , I know that there was a ford garage 2 mile down the road , and I managed to get the vehicle to the Ford garage. Upon inspection by the Ford service garage they informed me that there is coolant getting into the #2 cylinder of the 4 cylinder engine . They also informed me that it cannot be fixed and that the entire engine needs to be replaced . There is only 61,166 miles on the engine and Ford says that it is out of warranty and the owner is responsible for all repairs which comes to $7,121.01 . I have spoken to 3 Ford garages , TRI-STAR MOTERS , Blairsville, Pa. were my vehicle is , LATROBE FORD , and Greensburg FORD, and all three told me that they have seen this problem in there shop on the 4 cylinder Ford engines ! The service depts. stated that there is a defect in the engine blocks and that is why it has to be replaced vs repaired ! They said that Ford had a recall on some of the engines but not all. All these 4 cylinders Ford engines need to be recalled not just some of them ! It is obvious, just as in my case that most of these 4 cylinders are defective ! The engine warning light did not come on until I had almost complete engine failure and slowed down considerably . I am requesting the NTSB and the NHTSA to further expand the recall on these obviously defective engines. The vehicle owners should NOT be stuck paying over $7,000 for an obvious defect that Ford knows about and needs to take responsibility for ! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE !!!

There is a problem with coolant leaking into the cylinders on the 2.0L Ecoboost engines on the Ford edge requiring the entore engine to be replaced. Now mine is under warranty but I have researched and there are many many people having the same issue. I think it's time ford issues a recall since it's a manufacturer defect

Engine light came on, code it was showing was P0302. Took it to the mechanic the next morning. The shop said there is coolant leaking into the engine and the only repair to be had is to get an entire new engine. We purchased the edge used with about 72,000 miles within the last month. Upon further research, it seems that coolant leaking into the edge in the 2015-2018 models is very common, yet there is no recall for our VIN and no direct suppose from Ford if outside the manufacture warranty.

TSB 22-2229 Had dealer change spark plugs, while attempting broke spark plug off in head. Reported they would have to replace the head. More investigation led them to TSB 22-2229 and a boroscope of the head found coolant intrusion. Now the dealer states it will cost me 6500$ to repair the long block due to the coolant intrusion. This is a known problem with 2014-2018 Ford Edge and Ford Escapes as well as other vehicles. Copied from a law group website who is filing a class action lawsuite "Experts recommend that customers notify the Ford motor company as soon as possible once they identify an issue. These problems are not always simple and could cause dangerous consequences. If the leak inside it is left unfixed, it could cause problems with the engine and cause a rear-drive axle seizure." A quick search of this has hundreds of complaints stating this issue. This is not just a rear drive axle seizure issue. This could cause a fire in the engine due to coolant in the combustion. The check engine code did display with a P0300 MISFIRE Cylinder 3 code on it.

Vehicle is overheating due to a coolant leak into the cylinder. Ford knows of issue but has not recalled vehicle even though it's a defect in the design of the engine.

Head Gasket/Coolant Intrustion. Also had flexplate crack and sounded like a Diesel engine. All between 86000 and 91000

My 2018 Ford Edge has 85k miles. Recently it began vibrating on startup even after the auto-shut off button was activated. The rough idle began interfering with my ability to maintain adequate attention on the road and created significant feelings of anxiety each at every braking. Vehicle check engine light would come on and then go off. On 8/26/22 vehicle was inspected by Beach Ford who completed a fuel injector treatment. After picking up vehicle the check engine light reappeared. Attempted to contact service agent by cell phone because dealership stated that was the only way to communicate but did not receive reply. Changed all spark plugs and coils due to code P0303. Check engine light still on so contacted Beach Ford again and on 9/9/22 they confirmed the issue as a coolant leak appearing on the “bulletin” as a commonly known defect for my vehicle. The dealership stated I would need a new engine and since the warranty only covers up to 60k miles I would have to pay the full price of over $7500. Any symptoms of a problem were immediately addressed by dealership within one week of onset each time. Dealership completed work on a recall 6/10/22 and mentioned nothing about the “known service defect” nor did they document completing any routine inspections out of courtesy since Ford had this information at that time and I (the unknowing consumer) did not.

Coolant leaking into the engine which cracked the engine, need a new engine

My car needs a new engine. I got an oil change in March and everything was fine with the engine. Then in June a cloud of smoke came out of my tail pipe when I started the car, but since at this time the car had been sitting I thought this was the cause. A couple days later my check engine light came on and an indicator stating my coolant was hot when i was accelerating getting on the fwy. I checked the coolant and it below the minimum which was odd since i had gotten an oil change and topped off my fluids only a couple months before. I added coolant and the indicator and check engine light went off. My check engine light, another billow of smoke and my car stating my coolant was overheating happened again early July and I tool my vehicle in on July 18th to get looked at. It was inspected by a technician and was informed that it needed a new engine because the coolant leaked into the engine. It was inspected again by portfolio ins co and because I can’t find a receipt they will not fix it until I can. And Ford even though this is a common issue on my year make and model they will only cover it until 60,000 miles. I bought my car with 38,000 miles on it. It has been a month already and my car is still just sitting at the Ford dealership.

Check Engine light came on in June of 2022 and the code was for a cylinder one misfire. Took the vehicle to dealership where they confirmed it is a known issue amongst this make, model, and year. They determined coolant was leaking into the engine and the only repair was replacement of the engine. They told us there was a bulletin issued by Ford for the problem but no recall. The engine had to have coolant replaced several times over a short period of time. The leak caused burn off of the coolant that in turn changes exhaust. The engine can overheat and cause larger damage because there is no indicator to alert or warn of low coolant. The issue poses an environmental and safety risk as the vehicle can shut off at random and reach temperatures that can cause a fire.

We have 64,000 miles on this car. A p0303 code came on and took vehicle to ford. Mechanic said we need a new engine and quoted us $7,584. We were told that we're 4,000 over our warranty and the dealership and ford will not pay a cent toward repair. This is a well known issue with the 2.0 turbo engine. There are numerous accounts of this engine failing and still ford turns a blind eye.There is a t.s.b. #22-2229 and ford will not fix this. This needs to be addressed with ford and they need to pay for their failure. Thank you.

Vehicle started going through coolant with no signs of leaks anywhere. We took it to multiple mechanics and no one could find any coolant leaks.We were still putting coolant in every other week, again no signs of leaks anywhere but empty coolant tank. Turns out the coolant was going straight into the motor mixing with the oil causing it to slowly seize up. The repair shop it’s at told us this issue wasn’t preventative maintenance but a mechanical failure on Ford’s part and their 2.0 eco boost engines. According to some Ford forums this failure is common with the 2.0 eco boost motor. There’s also a class action lawsuit pending against Ford for this mechanical failure of theirs. This repair is nearly 10 thousand dollars (who has 10k for repairs?! we’re still making payments on the thing) This has put our family without our vehicle for quite some time. The slow breakdown of our 2018 vehicle has been frustrating and disappointing to say the least. This is a Ford mechanical failure and they need to be held financially accountable for a faulty product they know is failing.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 50-55 MPH and overtaking another vehicle, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle hesitated to respond. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle the next day, the vehicle experienced a rough start. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the sparks plugs were replaced and the check engine warning light was reset. However, the failure reoccurred while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic where the check engine warning light was reset; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that coolant was leaking into cylinder #2. The contact stated that the failure was associated with Ford Technical Service Bulletin Number: 19-2208. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.

Coolant intrusion into cylinder 2 due to design flaw.Ford is aware of the isssue and has a bulletin for techs to diagnose. This is the same issue happening with the escapes that ford has issued a recall for yet there has been nothing for the edge. My car is 4 years old and I have to pay out of pocket for a brand new engine because of course it is past the warrenty...

Engine light came on. Vehicle brought to dealership. Needs new engine 75k miles. Due to "porous engine block". Extended warranty company will not fix because it is a "known manufacturing defect" ($8200) Codes pulled p0303 p0316 Ford is risking the safety of all who are driving these vehicles and those who may be on the road with one. The FIRE RISK associated with this KNOWN DEFECT needs to be addressed.

Check engine light came on as well as a high coolant temperature. Took the car to the dealer and had it tested. Coolant is leaking into the middle cylinders. Will need a new engine.

There is a crack in the engine block that is pulling coolant into the engine causing total engine failure. In addition there are carbon deposits in the coolant which means the exhaust is being pulled into the coolant/engine system. The first indicator of a problem was at 80k miles with rough idle and hesitation on acceleration. 2 engine check lights lead to replacing 'bad coils' and spark plugs. Then the car started to overheat and ran out of coolant. We replaced to coolant and it ran out again 3 weeks later. With no evidence of a coolant leak we knew there was a major problem and online research showed likely total engine failure. This has been confirmed by the dealer and requires a whole new engine long block ($9000 repair). Driving a car with a cracked engine block is dangerous to myself and others on the road. Luckily I figured out the problem myself before something happened while driving.

Check engine light came on and I brought it in for diagnostic. I was told cylinder misfire and coolant is leaking into cylinder and damaged engine. I was told I need a new engine. I have 71k miles so I am outside of warranty. Both the dealer and independent repair shop I went to both told me the exact same diagnosis and that they have both been seeing this a lot with this 2.0 ecoboost engine. There should be a recall on this, not just a service bulletin when it’s a known issue with this engine. Engine replacement should not be happening on this year vehicle and with these low of miles (but just outside of warranty!)

Coolant leaking into engine causing misfire and potential for car to overheat if not catch fire. The real issue is this is a KNOWN defect with Ford and to date they have not taken any action. Totally unacceptable!

Engine light came on. Car was driving fine. We are under 100m out of the 60k mi warranty. Coolant in the engine & engine needs needs replaced.

Check engine light on and kept loosing coolant. Code read as misfire in cylinder 2. Changed spark plugs and light still on. On the way to the dealership to to get it looked at, the engine blew. Bought the SUV in April of 2020. Now I am stuck with a vehicle with 20,000 left to pay on and no money to replace the engine. The SUV only has 63,000 miles on it.

2018 Ford Edge Titanium. Approximately 90000 miles on car and experiencing an engine misfire on cylinder 3. Dealer says antifreeze (which has recently been losing coolant on a constant basis) is leaking into the cylinder causing the misfire. Claims only fix currently is to replace engine at a substantial cost to me. I have read a few Ford forums for the 2.0 Liter engine and find this to be a symptomatic problem that Ford is not repairing in good faith due to a manufacturing issue.

THE FLYWHEEL/FLEXPLATE IS CRACKED AND CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS i CAN RETRIEVE IF NEEDED. THIS IS ONLY NOTICEABLE DURING DRIVING AND CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS IS DANGEROUS IF IN MOVING TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONFIRMED WITH DEALERSHIP IN LINE TB19-2236. THE DAMAGED COMPONENT HAS ONLY BEEN AT THE DELAERSHIP TO DATE, UNSURE IF OTHERS WILL INSPECT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, ALERTS OR ANYTHING MINUS THE RATTLING THAT STARTED APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS AGO.

They called and informed us that the coolant is leaking into cylinders 2 and 3 and we need a new motor at a cost of $6200.00. I called Ford customer care and was denied any compensation because it was 3000 miles beyond the warranty.

Engine light came on with a P0303 code denoting a cylinder misfire. Dealer say engine needs to be replaced. I researched this online and this is happening to hundreds of people who purchased a 2017 - 2018 Ford Edge with a 2.0 ECO Boost engine.

I purchased the Ford Edge 09/28/2019 from Apple Ford Lynchburg VA, I noticed a ticking noise when crank up the SUV, around June the engine light came on and the vehicle shut off while driving down the road. I took it back to Apple Ford and they checked it and said that the motor had to be replaced. I took it to another mechanic and was told that the motor needed to be replaced. Apple Ford Manager John advised me that he would see if Ford Motors would replace and get back with me, he never did. I went over again to see him he told me the same thing but never called back. I called the owner and he said that he was going to call Ford Motor to see if they can help me out. Help Me they need to replace it. The owner advised me that a few of the vehicles had a cooling problem running hot. The other mechanic completed a Diagnostics p316 and P1285 and pressure test was recommended. The pressurized test cooling system found coolant in cyclinder walls after test.After performing pressure test 5 hrs.per TBS 192346 found that applied pressure dropped 7psi. Removed spark plugs found evidence of coolant in cyclinders. According to Owner's right a vehicle must not be more than 10 years old and is eligible for the vehicle to be repaired with no cost to the owner.

Another thing while driving up hills the engine light would come on and go off after pulling the hill and couldn't drive no faster that 55 miles or light come back on.

One morning got in SUV for work. The SUV was hesitant about cracking as if starter was going so I thought, also had a small knocking/ticking noise after turning again it cranked. After a few days the engine light came on and wouldn't go off. Took the vehicle to the dealership to check and I was told that I needed an engine . The dealership found that cyclinder 2 miss fire nad traced and found coolant in cyclinder. I took the vehicle to a second shop for a second opinion thinking this can't be I only had it for a year and a few months. Second auto shop said same thing your vehicle need a motor. The second shop performed a pressure test found that after applied pressure dropped 7 psi Removed spark plugs and found evidence of coolant in cylinders.

Repeated 'misfire in cylinder 2' error code - from what i've seen online, this may mean that coolant is leaking into the engine block and can cause total engine failure. about 77,000 miles currently. Will be taking to dealership in a couple days, as it's a repeated issue and the dealership staff member we talked to said i shouldn't be driving the car, which we just bought in March 2021 from a used car Ford dealership.

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. UPON STARTING MY CAR, IT’S BASA ROUGH IDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE GOING TO NORMAL. CODE WAS RAN AN IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE. MY HEAT HAD QUIT WORKING. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND THE COOLANT TANK WAS EARLY EMPTY. I REFILLED IT. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING SAYING OVER TEMPERATURE. CHECKED AGAIN AND COOLANT TANK WAS ALMOST EMPTY AGAIN. HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THERE WAS NO SIGN OF AN EXTERNAL LEAK. UPON SEARCHING, I CAME ACROSS NEWSON LAW IN NASHVILLE WHO HAS A POTENTIAL LAW SUIT AGAINST FORD BECAUSE OF SO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE IN 2016-2018 EDGE WITH 1.5 OR 2.0 ECOBOOST. MINE IS A 2.0. ALL OF THE REVIEWS I HAVE READ ON THIS ISSUE ARE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES HAPPENING. MOST OF WHICH ARE HAPPENING AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS RAN OUT. THIS IS THE CASE FOR ME.

MY 2018 FORD EDGE HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE RECENTLY ONE MORNING WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAD A ROUGH IDLE/CHUGGING AND WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST THAT ALSO OCCURRED WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN, AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE TO SEE IF THE ISSUE WOULD REPLICATE, WHICH IT DID, BUT NOT AS EXTREME. I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ABOUT SIX PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT FOR A FAULTY FUEL VALVE, AND THE FORD EDGE ACTED THE SAME WAY, EXCEPT THAT THE VEHICLE ENGINE WOULD ALSO CHUG AFTER REFUELING, WHICH IT DIDN'T DO WITH THIS CURRENT ISSUE. WITH THIS MOST RECENT CASE, I TOOK THE FORD EDGE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AT 10AM SEVERAL DAYS LATER BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME AT 430PM THAT AFTERNOON THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT WANTED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT FOR FURTHER TESTING. AT 130PM THE FOLLOWING AFTERNOON, I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE. APPARENTLY, FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR FORD EDGES FROM 2015-2018, AND OTHER MODELS, BUT THEY HAVEN'T ISSUED A RECALL. I WAS TOLD THE DEALERSHIP HAD SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE FOR A FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT, AND SINCE THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY ISSUES WITH IT BEING APPROVED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WILL BE SOME TIME, NO GUARANTEES, AS TO WHEN I WILL HAVE MY FORD EDGE RETURNED SINCE THERE ARE OTHER FORD EDGE'S WITH THIS ISSUE.

MY 2018 FORD EDGE THREW A CODE P0301. WHICH IS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 1. COOLANT LEAKING INTO BLOCK AND STARTED THROWING A LOT OF WHITE SMOKE OUT FROM THE EXHAUST. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND AFTER THEIR DIAGNOSTIC AND A FEW QUESTIONS TO ME FORD IS NEEDING TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO START EACH MORNING AND THE HEN THE MOTOR WAS OFF FOR A WHILE. EVENTUALLY IT WOULD START. OTHER THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WHITE SMOKE OUT THE EXHAUST I NOTICED NO PERFORMANCE LOSS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LEAKING COOLANT UNTO THE ENGINE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE NOTICED THE FAILURE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SMOKING AND WAS DRIVING ERRATICALLY. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTION THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVERBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO UNIVERSITY FORD DURHAM, 5001 DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27707, AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND HAD FRACTURED THE ENGINE. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A NEW ENGINE NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 69,747.

2018 MODEL W/ 2.0L ENGINE. CAR STARTING & IDLING WAS SLUGGISH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. TOOK TO FORD FOR TROUBLESHOOTING. EVALUATION REVEALED COOLANT IN CYLINDER. CAR HAS 34,500 MILES ON IT. NEW ENGINE WAS REQUIRED. ENGINES SHOULD NEVER NEED REPLACED. SEEMS LIKE MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH ENGINES ON THIS MAKE & MODEL. FORD SHOULD REPLACE THESE ENGINES BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRE AS THEY ARE APPEAR PROBLEMATIC.

COOLANT IS GETTING INTO CYLINDERS AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO RUN ROUGH AND BURN COOLANT AS WELL AS FRYING THE COILS STARTED LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE BUT DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS HAPPENING. CAR DOESN'T OVER HEAT BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A MISFIRE IN WHICHEVER CYLINDER AND LOW COOLANT.

I HAVE A FORD EDGE WITH 60K. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH AN INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK.SIEZED AND STALLED UP ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE COOLANT HAS LEAKED INTO CYLINDERS 2 AND 3

MY 2018 FORD EDGE, 67,000 MILES, HAS AND ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DASH. I HAD THE CODE READ AND IT INDICATED A #2 CYLINDER MISFIRE. THE CAR IS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT COOLANT HAS LEAKED INTO THE #2 CYLINDER. I HAVE RESEARCH THIS ON THE INTERNET AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF FORDS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. IF THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT THEM MAYBE NOT A DEFECT BUT WITH THE AMOUNT OF CASES THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OF THE BLOCK. I AM WAITING FOR THE DIAGNOSES AND ALREADY THE TECH IS SAYING MAYBE AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THE FORD COMPANY SHOULD BE RECALLING THESE ENGINES AND REPLACING THEM AS THEY ARE DIAGNOSED.

COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDERS, I HAVE READ MANY PEOPLE FILING COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE IN THE LAST YEAR ESPECIALLY. EVEN THE TECH AT FORD SAID THIS IS BECOMING A PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE UNDER THE RECALL CATEGORY NOW TO HELP PEOPLE NOT GO THROUGH THE PAIN OF WHATS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WHAT IS AND HAVING TO SPEND MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY AT THIS POINT A MANUFACTURING ERROR. THIS ISSUE ISNT SOMETHING YOU NOTICE IT STARTS WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WILL TURN ON AND OFF.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS A COOLANT LEAK. NO LIGHT WARNING THAT COOLANT WAS LOW EVER CAME ON FOR THE VEHICLE, THE CAR TURNED THE MOTOR OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. FORD DEALERSHIP REPORTS THAT THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS COMPLAINT THAT RECOMMENDS THE ENGINE BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 65,000 MILES AND SHOULD NOT NEED SUCH EXTENSIVE REPAIRS AS AN ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. IF THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM, THEN IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN BY FORD AND THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING IT PROPERLY, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 3,000 MILES PAST THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE OR A RECALL AND IT SHOULD BE.

THE ENGINE HAS FAILED TWICE, AT 42000 MILES AND THEN AGAIN AT 46000, THIS IS ON THE 2.0L FOUR, FIRST LEAK DOWN ON CYLINDER #4, THEN ON CYLINDER #2.

2018 FORD EDGE WITH 25,000 MILES, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE SERVICE DEPT TOLD ME THE ENGINE IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.
