Known Ford Edge engine issue. my 2017 purchased new at 81K miles has engine coolant leaking into cylynder 2. Engine light code p0302 and p316. Miss fire on start up. At dealer and informed it needs new engine long block at a cost of $8400. It is out of warranty obviously and this is a serious issue that is well documented online. Ford needs to have a recall on this issue. Paid $46k for a car that is disposable at this point as I can not replace an engine.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was jerking while depressing the accelerator pedal with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was initially taken to an independent mechanic where spark plug #3 and engine coil were replaced. The failure recurred and the same parts were replaced a second time. The contact then discovered that the coolant reservoir was empty. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer who discovered a coolant leak inside the engine causing engine failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
My engine has coolant intrusion, which makes the car more at risk for engine failure or can start on fire and the only way to fix is a whole new engine replacement. This vehicle only has 56,800 miles and ford isn’t willing to replace engine because it’s met its 5 year warranty period but has not meet the 60,000 warranty period. I use this vehicle to travel with my family and just thinking it could start on fire any time do to an engineer flaw is ridiculous. This vehicle poses safety concerns for many families and I hope you guys hold the manufacturer responsible for these issues.
Right rear brake hose ruptured.
Under acceleration the vehicle will sometimes enter into limp mode. Vehicle will violently brake and come to a halt and the driver can only accelerate up to +/-5MPH to be able to pull off to the side of the road. The deceleration when this happens is sudden and violent. During this event the steering wheel is difficult to turn. ALL dash warning and fault lights flash during the malfunction. You have to pull over, shut the vehicle off, and then restart. This has happened with our two kids in the vehicle while merging onto a freeway. I have brought it to Ford 4 times. The first time they said a harness was loose and they fixed it. Other times they blamed my use of a narrower diameter winter tire, but it happens with the stock wheels as well. The malfunction continues to happen. They have not been able to duplicate the issue, so they asked me to drive around with a OBD2 scanner attached. When the malfunction happens, no error codes are reported. The Ford technician said that if it were their vehicle, they would not drive it with their children in the car. Ford has had the vehicle for almost a month now and have requested we pick it up because they cannot duplicate the malfunction and have suggested that I drive until it happens again, which is pointless as the malfunction does not trigger an error code. My wife refuses to drive the car, especially with our children in it. I have talked to Ford corporate, and they said they would escalate, but now they are not returning my emails or answering their phones. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. It may be helpful to know that when I first started bringing the vehicle in for this malfunction, it was still 100% under warranty. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the contact became aware of a coolant odor inside the cabin of the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the engine was running rough, and the vehicle was shaking abnormally. The engine warmed up for approximately 4-5 minutes during warmer weather and the shaking ceased. The contact stated that the failure lasted longer during colder weather conditions. The coolant level was lower than expected. The check engine warning light was intermittently illuminated. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer and it was diagnosed and determined that coolant was leaking into cylinder #2, causing engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 78,000.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle nearly stalled. The contact observed a cloud of white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The contact stated that the check engine warning was illuminated. Additionally, there was a message indicating a misfire in cylinder #4. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to Manufacturer Communication: 22-2229 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure.

The motor started to overheat with no warning. Was in heavy traffic and had trouble getting out of the way. Took it to 2 different mechanics, one was a ford mechanic. They both said the same thing, its leaking coolant into one of the cylinders and that I need to replace the engine. There wasn't any kind of sign or warning that the motor was going to fail or mess up. Ford refuses to fix the problem and or help in some way to make it right. Ford knows about the 2.0 eco boost engine issues!!!!!
The engine light came on to warn me of an engine problem. Come to find out there is a Technical Service Bulletin on this issue for many Fords. This has been confirmed by Ford dealer service center and Ford customer service. This first appeared about a month ago in my car. However, Ford refuses to help and is making people buy new engines. This should be a RECALL. It is terrible that Ford is not being forced to recall all vehicles with this potential problem and cover the costs for repair. They are reponsible for this safety issue.
Panoramic sunroof has wavy cracks and no impact makes from anything hitting it.
On 2-17-23, the right rear brake hose ruptured. The brake pedal sunk almost to the floor and two different brake warning lights came on. The brake fluid reservoir had no visible fluid in it and I saw fluid on the right rear tire. That day I took the vehicle to a dealership in Beaverton, OR without accident or injury. In September 2020 both front flexible brake hoses were replaced due to Recall 20S42/NHTSA Recall 20V-469. If, as I suspect the rear brake hoses are made by the same manufacturer as the front hoses it seems logical that the rear hose rupture is also a factory defect that likely should be recalled. So far 3 out of 4 of the brake hoses have been replaced- the front two under NHTSA safety recall for fear of rupture and the right rear for actual dangerous rupture. I am extremely worried about the potential untimely and dangerous rupture of the left rear brake hose. On 4-26-20, I purchased a Ford PremiumCARE extended warranty that is in effect for this vehicle, but so far Ford refuses to cover the right or left rear brake hose under warranty. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau Arbitration Program for Ford over this matter (Attached).

We were driving down the road and the check engine light came on so we took it in and they said the #2 cylinder was miss firing. So they changed the plug and coil on #2. The check engine light went away until the next day when we drove it. So we took it back and they checked it again and it was the same issue. But after further checking they found that the #2 cylinder has coolant leaking into it causing the misfiring and engine using coolant. So after all of that they said I needed a new engine. It will cost me $7600 to replace it if I wanted to keep using my car. I did not have any other choice other than to have it fixed. I don’t have the money to buy a new car so that’s all we could do. We just got the car back and after 2 days it seems to be fixed. It’s totally nuts that Ford will not pay anything towards fixing it. Also the guy at the dealership told me when I picked it up to drive for 3 years and then get rid of it because I have unlimited mileage warranty for that time. I have 76000 miles on the car when this happened and never in my years seen this on any car I have owned its totally rediculous that Ford will not HELP!!!!!!!
When using the remote start feature the cabin smells like exhaust. This smell can be smelled coming through the vents into the car.

Coolant is leaking into cylinder 2 and the ford shop I dropped it off at today is currently running diagnostic. IT'S going to be the same issue that 1000s if not 100,000s of owners with the 2.0 ecoboost have; a replacement engine that Ford forces owners to cover the replacement engine themselves. My wife has had the car since about Aug 2022, still owes $23000 and now we have to figure out how to pay for engine.
2017 Ford Edge 2.0L Ecoboost Engine Block: Very rough sputtering/misfire detected once I started driving, a Flashing check engine light appeared, P-0303 code (Cylinder 3 Misfire), White smoke, Engine coolant leaking into Cylinder 3 causing a misfire. After starting the car and driving it a very short distance, the engine started sputtering and misfiring really bad. Check engine light came on and was flashing. Went back home to check the code which was a P-0303 = Cylinder3 misfire. Apparently, there is a design flaw in these engines and a Ford TSB-22-2229 has been issued for the problem. New engine block replacement is the only fix.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she heard a misfire under the hood of the vehicle.

My 2017 ford edge check engine light came on with an error code P0302 cylinder 2 misfire. I took it to a local mechanic who replaced the spark plugs and engine coils. Within 3 days the check engine light returned along with engine running rough. The mechanic discovered the same error code and decided the new engine coils were defective. 3 days later the same issue occurred. I have had my engine coils replaced 3 times. Today the mechanic completed a pressure test to discover that coolant is leaking into my engine and advised contacting ford as there has been a technical service bulletin by ford. I have now discovered this is a common issue with fords motor in the edge model and continuing to drive this vehicle will put myself and children in danger as there is a risk of engine fire.
Vehicle has a knocking noise and struggles to start up and when it does it shakes. When driving the vehicle it can lose power to the wheels. In one instance I was driving on the highway around 75 mph when it suddenly lost power and could not go about 35 mph. Now the vehicle will not start at all.
While my wife was driving this vehicle at highway speeds she attempted to brake and realized she had little stopping ability. She managed to slowly get the vehicle to our home without having to be towed . I then inspected the vehicle and after taking off the drivers side rear wheel realized the brake line at the caliper had burst and allowed the brake fluid to drain out. Keeping in mind there was a recall on the front brake lines which we had repaired-I was hopeful FORD would also repair this brake line. After contacting the dealership was told no recall had been issued for this problem and I would have to have it repaired myself. Luckily my wife or someone else wasn’t seriously injured throughout this incident. I have taken a picture of the brake line for review and have a copy of the repair bill and the cost of the brake line.
car would not accelerate on highway almost causing a major collision. found out that coolant is leaking into gasket causing a misfire. resulting in engine failure. i have an ecoboost model engine. ford will not honor replacing these engines.
Since November I am smelling antifreeze and exhaust in the cabin of the car. It was so bad it would burn my eyes- we had to ride with windows open, in the winter in the NE. Took to Ford the found a TPI on the exhaust odors but have to go through “steps” to find it. While I pay a deductible for them to find this. Ford is aware of exhaust odors but has not issued a recall yet for this.
Took my car in for oil change and tire rotation. I was called that all 20 of my lug nuts have to be replaced due to swelling. For $180, which I’ve never in my life had to replace the lug nuts on any other vehicle I’ve owned. Not just one but all 20 need to be replaced.

The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.
The engine light came on. I took it to the Ford dealership and they stated there was a misfire in piston #3 which was because coolant was leaking into the engine. The only way to repair would to replace the engine. The vehicle is available for inspection at any time. My safety and the safety of my children are put at risk because the engine should stop at anytime causing potential danger while driving. The Greenwood Ford dealership has confirmed and diagnosed the issue. No one other than the dealership and an independent service center has inspected the vehicle. The engine light came on causing me to take the vehicle in. The dealership stated that this is a known issue for my vehicle type with this exact engine.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated.

The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 70,000.
Rough start up with white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Then when on the highway around 70mph vehicle rapidly decreased in speed and would not accelerate. I was able to get the vehicle home and then it would not start again. Had it towed to a Ford Dealership where they stated that coolant was leaking into cylinder #2 and the engine would need to be replaced with an estimated cost of $8800 plus taxes. NHTSA needs to force Ford into a recall with all of the issues with the 2.0L Ecoboost engine.
The 2.0 ecoboost engine failed in my 2017 Ford Edge Titanium when coolant began pouring into the number two cylinder. I had a warranty on it so it is currently being replaced with a remanufactured engine since this is a common issue with this particular engine. I felt unsafe driving it because it was unclear when or if it would overheat and stall me on the side of the road. The vehicle is currently at an independent service center where it has sat for over three weeks while they worked with the warranty company on a replacement plan. There was an inspection done at the service center. The check engine light came on a short while after I purchased it, at less than 500 miles of being driven by me. The code was "Misfire in cylinder 2", which was caused by the coolant flooding the cylinder. This is a common issue with this particular engine from what I have read online since purchasing it and Ford should do the responsible thing and recall them all before someone is injured from it overheating.
Got diagnosed with needing rear differential work $5k right after extended warranty was up, I proudly maintain my car well and in timely fashion. The vehicle is now unable to turn and reverse without sounding like something is breaking; this is two months after diagnosis. Spoke with ford quick lane rep who stated a lot of the Ford vehicle’s differential have been going up. Such a expensive important mechanical power train issues shouldn’t be a issue so soon in the life of a vehicle; this appear it needs to be a recall or something done for the thousands of people that have this issue.
#3 cylinder is cracked due to coolant in cylinder see 22-2229 bulletin this is a know issue with Ford for 2015 a 2018 Edge. No low coolant light ever come on but the check engine light did come on I had a mechanic look at it as a favor warranty is out will cost approximately $7000.00 to correct issue change long block. This should be on a recall list. 91067.5 miles and car is paid off.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 20–30 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the brake line on the driver's side needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. While driving at an unknown speed, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to the same local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the brake line had fractured on the passenger's side. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.
The 2.0 ecoboost engine 2017 Ford Edge Titanium coolant leaking into many places. White smoke coming from exhaust flooding into the streets I have been told the Long block issue as well. The vehicle was at an independent service center where it sat for over three weeks while they worked hard trying to find the issues. Finally they advised me to get a second opinion through Ford which I did for over $300 for the same inspection. They have given me an outrageous estimate of over $16,000 to repair the issues. This is a common issue with this particular engine. I have read numerous complaints since purchasing it . Ford needs to be held accountable for all these defective engines they have yet to recall these dangerous vehicles. My vehicle is currently sitting in storage because it is inoperable. I’m still making loan payments on this defective vehicle. I have reached out to Ford many times for assistance and they have turned me away. I will soon have to file a Lawsuit against Ford if they do not come forward and resolve this issue. I will never ever purchase another Ford.
There is a coolant leak into my engine cylinders that has completely ruined my engine. They told me they’re surprised my engine hasn’t caught fire. They refuse to cover it even though the issue falls under TSB 22-2229 but they say the VIN doesn’t. There’s many lawsuits against them because it’s an issue with the Ford engine 2.0-liter turbo-four ecoboost engine. It’s happen to many people without warning. I luckily caught it before my engine blew. If you look up the TSB online there are many lawsuits against Ford right now and they still refuse to put out a recall and the new engine costs $9,000. It’s a safety concern because there’s no warning and the engine has potential to catch fire or blow. I read online that if your car has this engine that it is only a matter of time before this happens. Ford tried to blame the issue on me and tell me that I didn’t keep up with maintenance and they completely didn’t tell me about the TSB for the car. I had to go back and read my report to find the TSB. They tried to trick me into buying a new engine even thought this is a faulty engine that they manufactured. I have kept up with maintenance and my car only has 56,000 miles on it and my warranty just expired. No way your engine just blows on a 56,000 mile car. I worry for the safety of others driving this car and many other Fords that have the same engine. A contact that we know at Ford is trying to help us out and cover some of the costs but they refuse to admit that it is a faulty engine that they manufactured. This and many other Fords with this engine are a liability and safety hazard to drive. Ford needs to be held accountable for their engine but instead they’re making people like me pay out of pocket $9,000 that I can’t afford.
Due to faulting welding in the torque converter, the transmission failed and the car would shudder and disengage while driving. This problem was associated with a separate recall for the identical year, make and model vehicle where the torque converter failed and Ford Edge's from July 2017 to March 2018 were recalled: https://www.motorsafety.org/ford-recalls-vehicles-with-defective-torque-converters/ This vehicle was purchased in March 2017, so the recall should apply to earlier vehicles as this is a clear and present danger. A serious accident could result from the torque converter failing while the car is driving. Additionally, Ford refused to compensate me for my out of pocket repair costs. I strongly urge the NHTSA to expand the recall and reduce a serious hazard to owners of earlier models.
Rear window shattered without anything coming in contact with the window.
Check engine came on took it to our mechanic, he changed sensor and put new spark plugs in. Then called us and said that coolant was leaking into the cylinders and we would have to replace engine. It just came off 2 months ago extended warranty has only 71,455 on truck. Ford has know about the problem and done nothing for owners. The sent out service bulletin on this problem TSB-22-2229. Feel they should replace engine due to a known issue that effect the eco boost engines
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was notified that there was a misfire in cylinder #3.

The vehicle began making water sloshing sounds behind the dashboard and the check engine light came on. Upon inspection the mechanic found the car was very low on coolant. They had to add nearly 1 gallon back. The check engine light code was due to a cylinder misfire on start up. Ford has a bulletin 22-2229 detailing their knowledge of this exact issue. The dealership confirmed this is the issue this vehicle is experiencing. Had I continued to use the vehicle under these conditions, my engine could have experienced failure while driving. This could cause a serious accident putting the safety of passengers, pedestrians and other drivers at risk. While Ford acknowledges the existence of this issue, they have not made customers aware. This is Ford's description of this known issue- "Some 2015-2018 Edge and 2017-2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape/MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a low coolant level, white exhaust smoke and/or a runs rough condition with or without an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may include P0300, P0301-P0304, P0316, P0217, P1285 and/or P1299 stored in powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the long block engine assembly."
Engine 2.0 had coolant leak at 71k miles went off extended warranty a month before this was January 2023 we took to ford was informed it need a new engine. On driving it home truck was overheating and turbo charger was glowing red. Had it towed to HCC college auto shop where it sits. Ford motor company has put out many service bulletin on this series of engine but done nothing to remedy problem. Why isn't this engine recall due to faulty design.
We took our vehicle in due to a check engine light and rough start and idle.

2017 Edge 2.0 ecoboost 1. Cylinders have coolant and oil in them...affected by the engine misfire associated with the coolant leaking into the cylinders. Available for inspection. 2. Car started to smoke.and over heat while my kids were inside, the risk of fire was exponentially high. 3. Inspected by car dealership, due to desire to sell it, and autozone manager who is a mechanic. 4. Yes check engine light anx then the " reduced power to protect engine " and then " coolant over temp" and at a little over 60 thousand miles.
My check engine light came on back in September. I had to have the coolant flushed and have my purge valve replaced. On November 8, I took my car into the dealership as a check engine light was on again. Supposedly there was an engine coolant intrusion on cylinder tail. A new engine has been suggested. This is a known issue with Ford.
