2018 Ford Edge Complaint Log

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V413000 (Power Train) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission failed to shift into the intended gear, and then the vehicle lost motive power. The dealer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was unavailable.

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.

My 2018 Ford edge coolant was leaking into my engine causing my oil to turn carmal color.My car only has 81000 miles on it. I had just turned my car on and white smoke came out of the exhaust pipes and then my car light came on that the car was overheated.

My vehicle only has 77K miles on it and is already needing an entirely new engine due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. We discovered this after replacing all the spark plugs in the vehicle and the check engine light not disengaging. You should not have to replace an entire engine with only 77K miles. This is a known issue with FORD referencing two bulletin's - the first bulletin #19-2346 and now with bulletin #22-2133. They are refusing to cover the repairs 100% and expecting the consumer to pay 40% of the cost of their known issue of a $10K repair ticket. It also clearly states in the recent bulletin that the MIL may or may not engage with this issue. If we had know that this was an issue with this vehicle inside the 5 year/60K mile powertrain warraty which would have covered the repairs 100% we would have taken care of it then. The MIL was never engaged and provided any indication that this was going on. It was discovered after the MIL engaged at 77K miles and we took it in for service and had all spark plugs replaced costing almost $300 in repairs just to discover that did not resolve the check engine light to stop illuminating. This vehicle has been maticulously maintained since taking ownership of it in 2018. All service records are available if needed.

About a week and a half ago, we started getting an error message that the Adaptive steering fault requires service. We contacted our local Ford dealer who says it could be an electrical issue. But can't see us until Nov 1st. Additionally ,when driving straight, the steering wheels ( Ford logo) is turned to the left. It is worrisome but the dealer says it's safe to drive. I don't think so. In doing our research,we've found that this seems to be an issue. I shouldn't have to pay for theses repairs whether through my pocket or through my extended warranty. Which will be out of pocket either way, because I pay for this through my car note and would have a deductible.

I received a recall letter in the mail July of 2022, I called several Ford dealerships and they informed me that they had not received the parts for this recall as of yet and I would just have to wait to receive the second letter in the mail. I have waited and waited and waited. This past weekend September 10, 2022, I was driving with my oldest and youngest children in the car when my vehicle went from drive to reverse. I was able to get the vehicle back in drive and continue to drive to our friends house. As i placed the car in park it registered in reverse I could not let go of the brake or I would start moving in reverse this scared me because my vehicle was not registering in park even though it was in park. My vehicle was turned off and still continued to register in reverse then drive then sport mode then in reverse again. I was able to get the vehicle in neutral after some time, but this frightened myself and my children. I called the Ford dealerships and Ford corporate for assistance in the matter and none were helpful as the parts will not be released until December of 2022. I am a single parent, who relies on my vehicle not only to transport myself and my children, but to transport us safely there. I have just gone into remission from having cancer and rely on my vehicle to go to important appointments and all the stress of this has a very real possibility of causing the cancer to come back. Ford has failed me in both categories.

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.

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.

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.

My vehicle is not listed under the recall 17S16(2) this is an expansion to recall 17V-427 yet my car has been sitting for 4 months at a FORD dealership because the TORQUE CONVERTOR that is not performing IS ON BACKORDER. Why is FORD being allowed to string me the consumer along until they decide that this is a big problem? I received a Service Notice (Customer Satisfaction Program 22N12 stating that they are aware of a problem with the flexplate, transmission fluid pump and Torque convertor but no RESOLUTION. I cannot AFFORD to keep making car payments for a car I cannot drive. I am beyond frustrated and FORD will not communicate with me.

I've bought a 2018 Ford Edge SEL July of 2021 at Zech Ford (Kansas), it had just a little over 50k miles, within the first month of ownership, engine light comes on (code P0301), I took to the dealership and they replaced the oxygen sensor, everything seemed fine since. This last May, the flex plate cracked, I took to Greenway Ford dealership (Florida) and paid $3,085.36 for the repair, within just an hour of having the car back, engine light comes on (P0301), I immediately took the car back, they kept the car for the weekend, replaced the stream O2 sensor and charged me $105.24, they only charged me for the part, they waived the labor fee since I just had a $3k repair. Now, 2 months later, engine light comes on again for the same code P0301, but this time I can hear liquid running through the dashboard and a lot of white smoke coming out of the exhausts, I popped the hood and see that the coolant container is virtually empty, so I’ve bought some and added to it, I took it back to Greenway Ford, left the car there and couple hours later they called me to let me know that the coolant leaked into the cylinder and tells me that my only option is to have the engine replaced at a cost of $8400! This is my only car, I still owe $22,700 and I do not have $8k to get it repaired! And the car has about 94k miles now,

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.

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.

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.

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!)

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.

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...

The seat belt on the driver's side front keeps getting locked up and won't release. I have to mess with the seat belt height adjuster to get it to work and sometimes it just doesn't which then makes my seat belt alert light and beep go off every few minutes. It's also against the law to go without my seat belt which is definitely an issue. I haven't even had this car for a year and I have not had any accidents nor did the car report I got when I purchased it state that there were any accidents on it.

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.
