2018 Ford Edge Complaint Log

Driver seatbelt retractor sticks and strap will not come out only in situations where car heats up. After car cools down while in shade A/C or overnight it works. Having no seat belt causes a safety problem and a legal issue with mandatory seat belt use. Dealer in Ellijay Ronnie Thompson Ford confirmed the issue but said we would have to pay for problem-. This is a Ford Edge problem I have seen from other posts on line. Problem started about 3 months ago. This happened with no warning.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that on several occasions after starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the contact noticed that the coolant reservoir needed to be refilled more frequently. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that there was coolant intrusion into the engine block and a misfire in cylinder #4, and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle remained at the dealer awaiting the repair. The vehicle was not included in TSB: 22-2229 (Coolant in Cylinders, White Exhaust Smoke and/or Illuminated MIL). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

Condensation build up in tail lights in which causes other drivers not to visibly see when braking during the day.

Adaptive steering fault and steering wheel is off center when driving. Ford dealer can’t figure out problem. A serious safety concern.

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.

Coolant intrusion to engine, causing thick white smoke from exhaust . Engine light on . Causing spark plugs to be replaced . Having to replace coolant weekly in vehicle

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 40-50 MPH, she heard an abnormally loud sound coming from the sunroof before the sunroof glass panel cracked. The contact drove to her residence, where she noticed that the sunroof glass was significantly cracked. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that they could not assist. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was unknown.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 !!!

The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The part to repair the vehicle was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The contact declined the fuel tank repair and took the vehicle to another independent mechanic, where the camshaft phaser and an unknown part were replaced. The failure recurred with the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle failed to start up. The vehicle was then diagnosed by a third independent mechanic, who determined that there was a coolant leak and that the timing chain, oxygen sensor, and fuel pump needed to be replaced.

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 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.

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

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.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that a crack extending approximately 4 feet had developed in the large glass sunroof panel. The contact indicated that no object had struck the sunroof to cause the crack. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 74,600.

The vehicle is a 2018 Ford Edge and has less than 100k miles on it. Car was leaking coolant and we took it to the dealership where they told us it was leaking coolant into cylinder 4 and was possibly a cracked head. They had an adjuster, from the warranty company, inspected the vehicle and the adjuster stated we needed a new motor on 2/20/23 then 3 days later, 2/23/23, the warranty company contacted the dealership and told them they revoked the engine swap. They stated it must be damaged by an internally lubricated part. The dealership also put in an appeal to the denial. We've been having a constant battle with the warranty since February 4th. My car was in shop for 36 consecutive days and has yet to be fixed. The vehicle can overheat due to the constant leak of coolant and catch on fire or potentially blow up the entire motor while operating. We have been in emotional distress, extreme financial distress and its attempted child endangerment. I take my vehicle to and from work and to pick up my 2 year old son from daycare. If the engine was to blow, we could crash or get stuck and it could be fatal to both my child and I and my husband if he is driving.

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

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, the dealer stated that coolant was leaking into the engine and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that there was no recall on the VIN for the failure. The failure mileage was 99,883.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. An ODB scanner retrieved the code for a misfire in cylinder #3. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that coolant intrusion into the engine cylinder was a common failure for similar model vehicles. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The contact was provided a case number and the contact was referred to a dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 96,500.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the TPMS randomly became inoperable. The contact continued to receive random false notifications and alerts. The contact stopped and checked the tires on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted by mail, and opened a case, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 52,839.

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.

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 car has difficulty staying started after filling up with fuel. It does settle out but it is getting worse.. Today, it shut off while moving after just being filled up. Apparently, the fuel purge valve is going bad. This should be a recall of some sort since it seems to be a common problem with this vehicle. An expensive problem.

Only have about 13600 miles on my 2018 Edge and the battery drains down about .5 v overnight. Could not start in in my garage after 4 days of sitting, charged it up and took it to the Ford dealer where they did a load test on the battery, it tested at 89%. I did a load test with a multimeter with the same results. Dealer told me to keep a trickle charger on it because I didn't drive it enough which was a poor answer. There is a NHTSA #18V54800 out there and a Ford recall #18S25 that does not include my SUV but it could have the same problem. Looking on line there are others with the same issues with the battery going dead just by sitting and in most cases changing out batteries was not the cure and it seemed Ford offered no resolve. If this is a problem caused by a loose connection or a short it could indeed become a bigger safety issue. My vehicle was built at the same plant as stated on the Ford recall # and it should be considered a safety issue for all Edges of the model year of 2018 made a that plant. I'm not sure this is my problem but I need to start somewhere noting that it's happened to others besides me. Thank you for any help in this matter
