2018 Ford Edge Complaint Log

I have a 2018 Ford edge SEL with the 2.0 ecoboost engine in it that I just bought June 3rd, 2023. The engine light came on a couple weeks ago, so I took it to the dealership that I bought it from and found out the engine is bad because of coolant leaking into one of the cylinders. Upon further research I found that this is due to a design flaw in the engine by Ford but Ford has not recalled this engine. However Ford has recalled the 1.0 engines along with a couple others. I feel Ford should also recall the 2.0 ecoboost engine because this has been an ongoing issue for many people and the customers shouldn't have to pay for a new engine when it is a defective design that Ford even knows about but hasn't done anything

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated.

Additionally, the mechanic noticed that the coolant level was low and added coolant to the vehicle. The contact stated that three days later, the check engine warning light illuminated and there was no coolant in the coolant reservoir. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that there was coolant intrusion in the engine. The dealer related the failure to TSB Number: 19-2346 and determined that the long block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

2.0L EcoBoost engine - while driving the 2018 Ford Edge with approximately 50K miles, the vehicle displayed a rapid overtemp condition and then a check engine light for a misfire on cylinder 2. Coolant was almost empty and I re-filled the resivoir and dealer reset the check engine light. This happened about two more times with the coolant resivoir along with multiple check engine lights for the #2 cylinder. Each time the Ford dealer reset the check engine light for the #2 cylinder but did not give information about why the coolant level was dropping to almost zero. I went to a different dealer who referred me to the Ford TCB 22-2229. I Spoke to Ford customer service directly and the engine long block was replaced at my expense since Ford would not pay for the repair.

Brought vehicle to dealership for service on a shifter boot recall. The check engine light first came on when we gave the vehicle to the Dealership, and they said there was a misfire on Cylinder #2. Due to this, the entire engine was replaced with 85,000 miles as per a Technical Service Bulletin. This damage was due to a defective design and luckily, we did work with Ford corporate to get the price down since the vehicle was out of warranty. Never had any signs of an issue until one day in April 2024 when the engine started running rough when started up in the driveway. It was rocking the vehicle side to side. Just received the vehicle back this week with a new engine. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.

While driving vehicle on [XXX] Ocala, FL engine spontaneously overheated, which caused an immediate loss of engine power and a temporary loss of directional control as the power steering no longer functioned. I had the vehicle first towed to my house, and then had it towed to Gary Yeomans Ford Ocala. Their diagnosis led them to insist that coolant is intruding into the cylinder through the block itself, and the recommended course of action (under a very well known TSB) is to replace the long-block assembly. Ford is refusing to acknowledge this is a serious manufacturing defect that impacts customer safety, exposing the driver and the driving public to the possibility of an engine fire due to overheating, an accident due to inability to maintain directional control of the vehicle in an overheat scenario, and myriad other potential life-safety issues. Ford is making zero effort to assist their customers - a long block and assembly is almost $8000 - I barely had the money to make the payments and this may very well send me into bankruptcy.

My car is only 6 years old. I have maintained my car for the past 5 years of ownership. My car now needs a complete engine replacement due to coolant leaking into the cylinders. This was looked at by my local Ford dealership. After reading through other reviews it appears that other owners have experienced the exact same issue. I also was told my the dealership that Ford Escapes experienced the exact same issue and there was a recall. My car shakes and rattles and is unsafe to drive. I was told my the dealership that I could still drive it, but it is unknown when the engine will completely fail. I am a mom of two children and I cannot drive a car that could just randomly fail! My check engine line appeared about 2 weeks ago before I could get an appointment to be seen.

Due to a Ford design flaw my car has experienced what is called "coolant intrusion". TSB 19-2346. My check engine light appeared, solid in color and I brought it in for service/check on [XXX] at Apple Ford in Shakopee, MN. Diagnostics showed a P0302 Cylinder 2 misfire detected. The car was running rough on start-up and idle but once warm would run fine. Replaced all spark plugs & boots as it appeared some corrosion occurred on them. On [XXX] in the AM I was leaving my house to go to work. I pulled out from my townhouse complex onto the road and my car would not accelerate leaving me in the middle of the road. I had to shift my car into neutral and back into drive to be able to move from the middle of the road. Thankfully no other cars were coming at the time to avoid a collision. Once I was back in drive my car would accelerate but the check engine light came back on. I brought it into the dealership on [XXX] and the same code came up P0302 of a cylinder 2 misfire. I was unable to be without a vehicle so I continued to drive it. Thursday the check engine light was no longer illuminated. It did not come back on. I decided to still have it checked as I did not want to be stuck in the middle of the road again unable to accelerate with my child in the car. Dropped it back off Friday night for them to diagnostic again on Saturday AM. I was then called and told I was needing to replace the entire engine due to the design flaw of Ford. Coolant was leaking into cylinder 2 causing the misfire. The only fix is to get a new engine. My car is currently at the Apple Ford Shakopee dealership awaiting the possibility to be fixed.

Right after I returned home from a 1500 mile trip on a Saturday, my car started having an issue starting. Once I got it started and drove to the store, the Service Engine Soon light came on so I returned home. I checked the owners manual & it said I could drive 50-100 miles so I did make some required stops on Sunday. Had an issue starting the car again. On Monday I called a repair shop & took it in to them on Tuesday morning. They diagnosed the problem as Engine Intrusion - an internal issue causing coolant getting into the engine. They found coolant on the pistons & the TSB says to replace the engine. I contacted Ford Customer service & they had me bring it to a Ford Dealer - who diagnosed the same issue. I have followed all of Ford's maintenance recommendations for my car. If the issue had happened while on my trip home, I would have hesitated to stop so could have risked my safety or others.

I had my 2018 Ford Edge in Gerald Jones Ford Lincoln dealership services department at Augusta, GA on [XXX] (soonest appointment schedule available) due to check engine light turning on that I detected on [XXX] According to their diagnosis, my vehicle is now in need of total engine rebuild/replace. On [XXX], 12 days prior to the check engine light turning on, my vehicle was at the dealership for its regular maintenance (oil change, tire pressure, top off fluid, etc.) that also included a multi-point inspection. There were no engine issues detected on the vehicle 12 days prior. All of a sudden, 12 days later, the vehicle's engine light turned on and now in need of serious repair. This vehicle has less than 40k mileage. I did some research and based on submitted complaints online from other vehicle owners, I became aware that there are known issues to the engine design causing misfires and coolant leaking into the combustion chamber/engine that is specific to my vehicle's make and model. Ford has not issued a recall but many have reported similar if not exact problems I am experiencing. I reached out to the dealership's General Manager on [XXX] regarding my concerns. I also called his number on [XXX] and left a voicemail message. It has been 3 business days and I have not received any email response or callback from the General Manager. At the moment, I have the vehicle in my possession while I am trying to deal with the current situation. fINFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When I got into my vehicle one morning after it had been parked outside overnight the panoramic sun/moonroof glass looked like it had big cracks throughout, but initially thought it was just puddled water outlines since we'd had a good rain event overnight. After vehicle dried later that day I still saw the lines and when I investigated I could feel the cracks/crevices in the outer glass but it had not cracked on the inner layer of glass. I am not certain if that cracking happened overnight in the rain and/or night cold temp fluctuations in WI, or whether it had started smaller earlier in the week and hadn't immediately noticed it. I am not aware of any stones or hail hitting it that could have pinpointed the cause & and the repair technicians did not find any indication of an impact point which could have been the starting point. I have been limiting my driving until I get it fixed to ensure it doesn't either crack all the way thru and let moisture inside and cause interier damage or completely break apart and fly off into roadway while I'm driving

The Ford Edge 2018 has a common issue with its transmission - it fails to start at low mileage, causing the car to lose power unexpectedly. This could lead to dangerous situations and potentially render the car completely uncontrollable. Ford dealers acknowledge that it's a common problem for this model, but they do nothing about it.

Car began bucking at first and running rough about 82000 miles on it I changed plugs and shortly after it started again. It began to over heat when I drove from Maine to KY. I found it was low on Coolant. I had to fill it again a month or so later. Mechanic did not find any coolant leaks. I brought it to ford and they told me coolant was getting into the cylinders and I need an engine replacement. I am [XXX] drive like an old man and no reason engine should fail the way I drive I understand Ford recalled the 1.5 echo boost but not the 2.0 and they were made with the same defect. They are aware of this and redesigned the engine. It cost me 6.000 dollars to fix at a time I am nearing retirement.

Two days after I bought this car I took it back to the dealership and told them that there was something wrong with the car. It didn't drive right and when I would put the car in reverse I felt a "flutter" feeling. After they finally got me in to have it looked at, they told me that there was nothing wrong with it. A few months later I took it back to another local Ford dealership after I got a notice in the mail about the transmission. It was not a recall. They also told me there was nothing wrong with it. At this point it would shift hard every now and again. about a month and a half ago, I was driving and a wrench light showed up on my dash. I had a mechanic hook it up to the computer and it was giving me codes P0741-00. I took it to Ford and had them run a diagnostic on it and they called me and told me that I needed a transmission overhaul. If they had fixed it the first two times I had it in to be looked at I wouldn't be without a car right now.
