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.

Coolant is rapidly leaking into the number 2 cylinder causing rough idle, extreme venting form exhaust. Vehicle cannot be driven without causing catastrophic engine damage which could result in loss of power creating a safety issue, or engine fire. Ford knows about the design defect for years and refuses to recall the affected vehicle. The photos below are not my vehicle. They were downloaded from the internet. This is a known problem that Ford refuses to acknowledge.

2.0 ecoboost engine has a known flaw that causes the engine block to crack & introduce coolant into the cylinders. This is known to typically occur between 60 & 70,000 miles. It at the very least causes a misfire; at the most extreme it allows coolant into the oil & can cause engine lockup. Ford knows this is an issue & redesigned the engine in 2020. Our car developed this issue at 65k miles & Ford left us with a $9500 bill 1 month after warranty expired for a new engine

Driving home from work, I noticed a warning light indicating that the car was overheating. I stopped and realized the coolant tank was empty, so I immediately put some coolant in and continued driving home. The next day, the car wouldn't start, and after I checked the engine oil, it was contaminated with water. I called a Ford dealer for repair, and they don't want to take responsibility.

2nd time this has happened, coolant leaking into cylinder head. June of 2024 and now May2025. If this is a design flaw by Ford why hasn’t this been addressed? Vehicle has little over 90,000 miles.

In June of 2024 we had coolant getting into cylinder head. A new head gasket was installed and the car was ok until May of 2025 when we are faced with the same problem again. 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?

2018 Ford Edge 2.0 Ecoboost engine misfire in cylinder 2 (code P-0302 and Smoke from tailpipe. After replacing coil assembly and then spark plugs engine still runs rough. Looking in internet I discovered a Ford TSB 22-2229. Which clearly admits Ford knowledge of said “design flaw” which can cease the engine. Ford should be held liable and fix ALL vehicles effected. My car has 55,700 miles on it. Ford is covering engine block cost and charging me the labor costs in excess of $4,200..

Engine long block needed replacing at 55,625 miles. Verified by Al Packer WPB , Fl., and engineer replaced. Ford paid $3300 for block while I was charged almost $3300 for labor (after discounting over $1000 from sales/service) Block design fault per Ford on TSB 22-2229. (All 2013-2015 Edge model with 2.0 Ecoboost engines need replacing.) The danger is overheating and engine seizing … could happen while driving and cause an accident. Check engine light was on. After learning about this, I checked for missing coolant, needed to top it off as it was almost empty. Then on a restart the smoke coming from tailpipe was quite obvious. (I have that on video). FORD should pay for 100% of this repair. I have had this vehicle 8years, and have 55,625 miles on 5year/60,000 warranty.

The 2018 Ford Edge, particularly those with the 2.0 EcoBoost engine, are known for a design flaw that can cause coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders. This issue can lead to significant engine damage and potentially require a full engine replacement. Ford has addressed this with a recall and customer satisfaction program. Here's a more detailed explanation: Design Flaw: A design flaw in the 2.0 EcoBoost engine can cause coolant to leak into the engine's cylinders. Consequences: This coolant intrusion can lead to overheating, engine damage, and potentially requires a full engine replacement. Ford's Response: Ford has issued a recall (21N12 customer satisfaction program) and a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) to address this issue, offering a one-time free fix. 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.

We had stopped to get a soda and when we came back out and started the vehicle the steering wheel turned 90 degrees so the straight position was now 12 and 6 vs 3 and 9, I tried to shut the vehicle off and restart it and no change in steering wheel position. There was also an adaptive steering error on the dash. Another issue with this was that you could no longer see the speedometer as the steering spoke was covering it, we drove to the closest Ford dealer from where we were and we were told they didn’t have time to look at it on that day. I confirmed with the cashier that they were sending us away with a vehicle with a steering issue and the cashier once again just said they could not look at it on that day which I was not asking them to do I just wanted to leave it and go off in a loaner that I was able to get under the extended warranty. We went to the second ford dealer that was closer to our home and they took the vehicle in and 2 different service writers stated they had never seen anything like this before. they had the vehicle for a total of 3 weeks to diagnosis and replace the steering wheel and try to get the wheel back into alignment which took 2 trips. The second visit we met with the master tech at Ford country who went for a drive with us and could see that the Ford emblem in the center of the wheel was not straight and it took them 2 or 3 attempts to get it straight and the master tech with 35 years of experience stated they had only seen this 1 other time in all their years of working on vehicles. I just do not have confidence in the vehicle any longer and just keep thinking about what if this happened while we were driving and not just in a parking lot. I no longer feel safe in the vehicle

Coolant intrusion into cylinder 1 due to failure noted in TSB 19-2346

Check engine light came on. Took to the Ford dealer workshop, they checked and found nothing wrong with the engine. Check engine light came on again and this time the car jerks when it tries to accelerate. Could not go more 40mh due to the jerky motion. Took it back to the shop, they said coolant intrusion. They said it is going to need new engine because there is water/coolant intrusion. New engine estimate approximately $9000. Same dealership that we have been going to for maintenance, not sure why they did not see this from previous visits. I have seen complaints for same issue on this 2018 Edge, Ford needs to acknowledge that this is an issue.

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!!.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge.

The rear lift gate will not open and it operates some time and cannot be open at all and no warning lights come on

Fly wheel and flex plate broke causing the car to lose power. The car then stopped having use of the transmission so was unable to move the car.

Driving to work & the vehicle started to behave like it was running out of gas, kind of a jerky motion. I was able to get an appointment @ the local dealership, they diagnosed it as having a cracked block by cylinder #3 causing coolant to enter the cylinder. This vehicle just turned 80k miles and was service for the same thing 6 months prior, same cylinder. There was no mention of a common problem with Ecoboost design flaws until the Service Advisor shared the info with me. A new engine had to be replaced @ a cost of almost $8000. A 2018 vehicle with a perfect maintenance record and only 80k miles should be needing a total engine replacement. Ford should back their products. I essentially bought a used Edge according to Blue Book and in reality bought my car twice.

A manufacturing defect has caused coolant to leak into the engine which can lead to an engine fire. Many other people with he same engine have reported the same issue.
