2017 Ford Edge Complaint Log

When starting the engine it would putter a bit before running smoothly. The engine light came on and I took it to Sunshine Ford in Newburgh, NY and they told me there is coolant in cylinder one of my engine and I need a new motor. They said there is a crack in the engine motor causing this. There is a technical service bulletin on this exact problem for this make and model. My car only has 85,000 miles on in. There should be a recall for this engine.

The 2017 Ford Edge is leaking coolant into the engine, and the dealership says that the only remedy is to replace the engine because it cannot be repaired but will need to be replaced. We bought this car brand new from the Ford dealership and did not expect to have a major repair cost so soon after the warranty ended. We have five more months to complete our car payments, and we also just purchased the Ford Maverick. This makes us feel uncertain about Ford. I also discovered that this problem has been known to Ford since 2010 and has not been corrected. We only took this car to the Ford dealership for service since we purchased it in 2017. This will cost us severl thousands to replace the engine. Warranty ended at 60 k and the vihecule is now at about 70k.

cracked cylinder causing coolant to leak

So the car has a code p0302 coolant is leaking in cylinder #2 which is causing the car to run rough and overheat because of coolant loss and from what I understand can eventually cause a engine fire I’ve taken it to a shop to find this out but it hasn’t been inspected by the manufacturer police or insurance representatives the check engine light has been intermittently coming on and going back off until one day it just stayed on

So the ecoboost engine in my 2017 ford edge has coolant intrusion in #1 cylinder at about 120,000mi which apparently is a known defect and happening to many others with ecoboost engines from 2015 to 2018. Yes available for inspection upon request. Safety? I don't know what happens if I keep driving which I have to because the recommended fix is a replacement engine which is $8,050. I've read many other comments from other people who are also stuck paying for a vehicle they can't or shouldn't be driving. Yes confirmed by a dealership service department. No not inspected by manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. Yes check engine light came on months ago when first checked out by same dealer was told I needed a powertrain control module. Please make ford take responsibility for this. Everyday people can not afford this and leaves us basically screwed.

The vehicle has a blown head gasket on its 2.0L ecoboost engine. It has all the same codes as the other vehicles that are affected by the recall #20V469000. It is a 2017 Ford Edge. It is loosing coolant into cylinder number 3. I'm 8000 miles out of my warranty and they want $9600 to fix the issues. I can't understand why this vehicle is not part of the recall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Vehicle had the transmission flywheel (flexplate) crack and fail on 07/24/2020 which resulted in having the flywheel replaced at 86,191 miles for the cost of $1,588.73. This resulted in a dangerous situation as it happened at night, on the highway in the mountains of GA. Vehicle again had the flywheel (flexplate) crack on 05/08/2023 at 128,515 miles and is being quoted $2,804.67 for replacement and repair. On August 26, 2022 a Customer Satisfaction Program 22N12 was issued by Ford for this problem. I never received a copy of this letter. Ford admits this is a problem, and my vehicle was included in this program and confirmed by VIN. The program covers 100% repairs up to 100,000 miles and 50% between 100,000-120,000 miles. My vehicle as over the 120,000 miles and I was told there would be no coverage for the repairs. My complaint is the fact I have paid for the first repairs, and had to pay for a hotel, meals and costs due to being stranded in GA as I was on a trip when it happened and the repairs took 4 days. The vehicle again has the same problem, and this time the quote is considerable higher, so much so it is not cost effective have it done. Ford needs to acknowledge the fact they have a problem at pay for the current repairs.

When got into a fender bender, originally it was just the bumper. After a wheel, there was a noise coming from the car when idling. Once taken in for repair, repair company stated it was the AC fan that was the problem which was not done by the crash but elsewhere. After taking the place to three other shops, first being the repair company, the second being Ford Motors, which both told me it was okay to drive my car, the last shop confirmed that it was the flywheel and not the AC fan that was broke, and I shouldn't be driving my car. After my car was fixed, out of pocket, I get sent the recall information letter in June for Ford Motors to fix this problem in February.

Vehicle had coolant intrusion issue. Vehicle is out of factory warranty and is not covered under extended warranty. Said vehicle was purchased used but within 5 months the head gasket failed (a known Issue). now purchaser is being quoted a $7200 repair bill on a known defective product.

As I approached 50,000 miles on my car, I started to notice the car rumbling when I turned it on. Increasingly, I also started to hear the sound of water rushing towards the front of the car upon starting the vehicle as well as occasionally when I would brake while driving. On a few occasions, it took me several attempts to start the vehicle, or I would need to hold the push to start button for a longer period of time to start the car. Shortly after reaching 50,000 miles, the check engine light came on. I brought it to my local mechanic who told me the problem was caused by a 3rd cylinder misfire, which could be due to a possible cracked gasket. He suggested that I bring it to the dealership where I purchased the car, and that they would be aware of the issue, as it is a known issue in the 2017 Ford Edge. After investigating the issue and running a test to confirm, a mechanic at the Ford dealership in Danbury, CT confirmed the issue was related to a cracked gasket that was leaking coolant into the engine. Coolant leaking into the engine is obviously a very serious issue as the lack of coolant can cause the engine to overheat, smoke, and can even result in an engine fire. Fortunately, this issue has not caused an accident, so the police, manufacturer, or insurance representatives have not inspected the vehicle yet to my knowledge. The car is available for inspection upon request at Colonial Ford in Danbury, CT and is currently awaiting a response from Ford Corporation. Unfortunately, the car's 5 year warranty expired in October 2022, nearly 10,000 miles short of the alternative warranty. A Google search reveals many people have had this issue with the 2017 Ford Edge. A recall should be issued to prevent serious injury and potentially death due to the faulty pieces that were used by the manufacturer to build this engine. I am trying to work with Ford to cover the cost of repairs, but so far they have been unwilling to help as the car is outside of the warranty period.

1) Component failure is the engine block. I have 77K miles and have recently had my Check Engine light appear. After spending several hundred dollars to have sparkplugs and the Cylinder #2 tube replaced, the issue persisted. I then started to realize my coolant reservoir was very low, so I added coolant - but I noticed I was losing coolant on a daily basis, not only that, my engine, at start-up, was very, very rough with a lot of white smoke coming out of my exhaust. After doing some research, I then learned, that the problem is coolant intrusion into the #2 cylinder, which will require an entire engine replacement. Several times last week and this week I was driving and had my overheating warning flash on - my engine temperature gauge was in the red area as my engine was overheating due to loss of coolant. At one point, I thought I was going to blow-out my engine while going 65mph - it was frightening since I had my ten year old daughter with me. I got home and refilled the coolant immediately. A couple days later my engine overheated again taking my daughter to school. We only have one car, so this is incredibly nerve-racking, extremely stressful and very, very disappointing. 2) My and my family's safety is being compromised by what appears to be a known issue on 2017 Ford Edge cars. I have learned there is a TSB on this issue, but no recall. 3) The issue has not been confirmed by a technician. 4) My car has not been inspected by anyone other than the service technician who replaced my sparkplugs. 5) I had the Check Engine light appear for the last three weeks; since the first few days of May, 2023. Expenses: I have had to pay about $500 already, but I was told by two Ford dealers that the cost for an engine replacement was $8,000 and $10,000 respectively. Why should I have to pay for a known Ford issue of this magnitude? And why should I have to place my family's safety in jeopardy, we only have one car, every time we have to take the car to go somewhere?

The vehicle was later taken back to the local dealer who determined that coolant was present in the engine block, and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 104,000.

When the vehical was brought to us by 2 sales person , one sales guy told us that everything was good to go that the only issue there was on the car was that they did not have the code to the doors in case we couldn't get in . The same night we noticed that the lights inside were not going off we tried to press buttons to have them go off and nothing, then all of a sudden the lights automatically turned off. As we continued to drive the vehicle we got to our destination ( our home) we got off locked the doors and turned alarm on and we noticed that the lights were still on and couldn't understand why the tailgate/trunk was showing that it was opened when we never had not opened it. When we tried to open it it wouldn't let us. You could hear it trying to open but nothing. Again we assumed that the lights would turn off but the next morning I called and left messages and even on their personal phones asking them to please call me back that it was in regards to the vehical. 9am 10am 11am I got a text back and I had to explain everything over a text. Not once did they ever attempt to make a conversation phone call but to help with the issue on 'getting into ur vehical when the battery is dead I was sent a YouTube link and yet I kindly had asked for a home visit because the main cause for the battery to have drained was because the back door indicator light states that the back door is open but really it was jammed but I got no help from anyone from the dealership. Everytime I called we would get the runaround that they will have someone get in touch with us. But nothing .this is not the only issue we have had with the car there is also a rattling noise coming from either the engine or the front tires again we called them to inform them and yet again the message we got from the car place was that they will have someone be in contact with us shortly but nothing .

Most likely due to manufacturing defect or other issue related to, coolant is mixing into the engine cylinder causing a cylinder misfire. My vehicle is outside of the original manufacturer's warranty by about a year and now needs a new engine due to this defect. At 68,363 miles, there should not be a need for a new $6,000 plus tax engine with zero accountability or apology from Ford. This should have been a recall plain and simple and all costs associated with resolving this issue should be responsibility of the manufacturer. In June 2019, Ford issued a technical service bulletin of this known issue outlining the affected vehicles with a 2.0L EcoBoost engines, but did not communicate with affected owners or issue a recall to have this problem addressed nor do they offer a courtesy extension to the manufacturer's warranty for owners. While my family was lucky that we encountered this issue while we are in our home city, and not on the road driving to visit family in another state, it is not a stretch of the imagination that this could result in serious injury to unsuspecting, affected Ford vehicle owners. There is no repair invoice at the moment as my vehicle is currently still at the dealership awaiting parts.

Tires were getting rotated when they told me the lug nuts were swollen and needed to be replaced. Please make this right. I already had to pay extra for the tires when getting new ones and now $146 to get lug nuts replaced. The car is 6 years old. Not to mention the safety issue of this-tire can fall off and possibly unable to change tire if there is a flat.

Another case of Fords failure in manufacturing with its eco boost engine. Failed head gasket and coolant leakage causing engine failure from there know issue.

This is a coolant intrusion in cylinder 2. My cylinder would misfire while driving at high speeds on the highway. Also, alarms of overheating of the engine would pop up. I took it to a Ford dealer and confirmed that it is a coolant intrusion and they tvwould try to charge $7,800.00 plus tax for a manufacture design defect.

Approximately one month ago I noticed that my engine began running roughly upon a cold start. The engine was misfiring and running rough until the vehicle warmed up. Shortly afterwards, the Check Engine light came on. I took my vehicle to the original Ford Dealer for service. The Service Consultant contacted within a day with the following information: - Identified the Check Engine light as an Engine Misfire in cylinder X (I don’t recall) - Misfire was caused by coolant intrusion. I immediately asked if it was a head gasket. He said no, and proceeded to tell me: -Coolant is leaking into cylinder -There is a crack in the engine block between coolant passage and cylinder X - They have seen this in the past, and apparently is a known issue, and Ford has since fixed the design of this engine (EcoBoost 2.0L). - The extended warranty company denied the claim as their claim was that the "Engine Block" failure was NOT caused by the failure of an internally lubricated part. I have found the following information regarding this engine flaw: - There is a class-action lawsuit Reed et al. v. Ford Motor Company - 1:20-cv-01631 against Ford specifically about this problem. - Ford has issued a TSB (# 22-2229) outlining the issue, troubleshooting, and repair process. - This flaw can cause engine cooling issues, engine overheating, engine fire, catastrophic engine failure. - The fix to this problem is an Engine Long Block replacement. - There have been issues with other EcoBoost engines, and Ford has even issued a CSP to replace 1.5L EcoBoost engines on Ford Escapes. My confidence in vehicle reliability is non-existant at this point, and my main concern is that an engine failure will strand me or my family, or result in an engine fire.

Moon roof glass cracked on its own, looks like a spider web. Afraid that glass cracks will continue to grow and begin leaking or worse chip off shards that could possibly cut skin. Has not been inspected by dealer, police, manufacturer or insurance. No warning lights or any other symptoms or indications - simply opened the roof cover one day & discovered the cracked glass. The moon roof electrical slide functions properly, it’s just the glass that is the issue.

On 03/16/2018 my wife noticed her brakes were not working correctly. The brake pedal would go straight to the floor and she had trouble getting the car to stop. She called and said the warning for low brake fluid came on as well. When she arrived home I noticed the rear driver side brake line was leaking. The car had to be towed to Arrow Ford in Abilene, Texas. The dealership tried to say my wife ran something over but the location behind the rear shock does not allow any room for debris to hit the brake line. We’ve already have had the front brake line rupture before the recall on the front brake lines. We had to pay out of our pocket without reimbursement and now we are going to pay for the rear brake line to be replaced. This is an extremely dangerous issue with ford brake lines that needs to be addressed. Luckily my wife was driving in town at slower speeds cause this could have been fatal. There has been no inspection on the component except from the dealership mechanic after the rupture. Currently my wife’s vehicle sits at the dealership waiting for repairs.

A check engine light came on in our 2017 Ford Edge 2.0L engine and the engine would shake when turning the car on. After taking it to the dealership, the car had two codes that came up: 0316 and 0302. After inspecting the car further, the diagnosis was that it was a blown head gasket. The car has 34,000 miles, and this issue should not happen this early. After some research, we learned that Ford Edge with our 2.0L engine, years 2016-2018, keep having this engine issue. Our understanding is this is a known issue due to the block design and the head gasket seal not being sized large enough. This problem was reproduced by the dealership and the recommendation is to replace the entire engine with a new 2.0L produced after 2018 when Ford redesigned the engine addressing the problem. The online community is complaining of having to deal with very high repair costs of this issue (needing to replace the whole engine), but Ford has not addressed it with the many owners or issued a recall.

My check engine light came on. The code was P0304. I had the spark plug and ignition coil replaced, but the check engine light came back on. The vehicle began to overheat. A technician was able to find that the coolant was leaking into the engine. I've taken it to a Ford dealership who confirmed this and has told me I need a new long block. The cost of this repair is over $9500. Upon researching this problem, it has been WELL documented since 2010 to be an issue with this engine, and NHTSA even issued a service bulletin about this issue with this year/make/model as of December 2019. The issue does not begin to happen until after the warranty period has passed, and the vehicle can catch fire with this defect. Knowing this issue exists, this engine needs to be recalled so that people do not need to worry about their vehicles overheating and catching fire! The responsibility of cost should not shift just because the issue does not present itself until a vehicle hits a higher mileage, which still is not that high.

While driving on the interstate in evening rush hour traffic, the traffic became "stop and go" traffic. I applied the brakes and to much my surprise the pedal went from firm to a bleed off condition. I was unable to pull over so I began driving the vehicle then shifting to neutral and pumping the brake in order to stop. This condition continued until my brake fluid low warning came on. I eventually made it to a Quick Trip and was able to look under the hood and the underside of the car did not see anything dripping. I purchased some brake fluid and used all of it to fill the reservoir, as it appeared that the system was dry and no more fluid was available to leak out. My daughter met me at the Quick Trip and I had her follow me another 9 miles to drop off a Foster Dog and then home. When we stopped to drop off the dog she noticed a small area at my passenger rear tire that was dripping. I inspected it and confirmed that it was brake fluid. She continued to follow me home and she noted that when I put on my brakes before pulling onto the service road that it was "raining fluid" from the passenger rear tire area. When I got it to the house I put the car up on jacks, removed the tire and found the hydraulic hose, that supplies the brake calliper, had an area that was ruptured.
