My car began running rough and a check engine light came on. I took it to a reputable repair shop and the car presented a code indicating a problem with cylinder #4, so they proceeded with a routine tune up. The problem (rough idle and check engine light), then the heater quit working then without any warning the engine coolant temperature warning light came on. The shop examined the car to discover coolant was leaking into the cylinders. This problem is a known defect apparently, known not by me, but by the Ford Motor Co who sold this car with an engine they knew was defective and did not ever warn me. I am grateful the light came on while I was in the city and not out on an isolated highway somewhere without cell service. This is a very dangerous situation. My engine cannot be repaired it has to be replaced! There was no cracked manifold, no blown motor, just this leakage that is the result of a serious design flaw, so serious that Ford quit manufacturing the engine and replaced it with a Series 2 version (it is an ecoboost engine) and my new engine will be the Series 2. I can't even buy the original engine as it has been pulled from the market. But my car was sold new to me in August, 2018 with this flawed engine. I am including pictures the mechanic has taken of the coolant in the engine. The mechanic would not allow me to pick up my car and drive it after discovering this issue as he said it was a safety issue and could lead to my or other driver's injury or fatality. That's pretty serious. the engine replacement is going to cost me $8700 plus the cost of the previous repairs and a rental car for a week while the car is repaired. That is a lot of money for a widow.

Smelled gasoline under the hood? Technican ran test of engine and here is his report: "Checked the engine light found multilpe codes, I looked up the codes and they all said replace the engine. Did a headgasket test and found the headgasket is bad and that the coolant smells like fuel also." I was advised not to drive the vehicle! The car has only 58,208 miles on it, as senior citizen my acerage is less than 10,000 miles a year. I replaced the engine --$6,178.08. I have also been advised that I may have transmission problems. A search of the web to check for recallssrongly suggests I am not alone as this problem had been identified by other EDGE owners nation wide! I feel the Ford Motor Company has a major responsibilty for the defect.
2024- 2/1 issue with lug nuts. Purchased 4 new tires July 2023 at Walmart... The only time all 4 tires had been removed for new tires. Now 2/1 the lug nuts are swollen and no good. Walmart or Ford Problem?? Now it is my problem to replace. 1 year into the car the transmission was relaced, 2 years in the motor. 5 Star I do not think so.
First indication of an issue was when the check engine light illuminated (2/1/2024). I took car to an independent repair shop who identified the codes as PO304 - misfire cylinder 4 and P0316 - misfire on start up. Borescope revealed coolant leaking thru #4 cylinder wall & cylinder #1 showing stream of coolant from cylinder head gasket. Ford TSB recommends long block engine replacement due to coolant intrusion in the engine. The car remained parked from 2/2/24 to 3/13/2024. 3/13/2024. On 3/13 I took the car to the local Ford dealership whose service department confirmed the original diagnosis. Safety issue - coolant intrusion into the combustion chamber could induce an engine fire or cause the engine to seize up while being driven. The car is still at the Ford dealership. The mileage when the CELcame on was 72944 miles. Current mileage approximately 72960. Toatal cost to repaired quoted at $ 9,110.01.
Earlier this year, I had a crack form in my engine block that resulted in coolant intrusion in the engine. This was a safety risk as it resulted in a complete failure of my engine, loss of all coolant and was a fire risk. Ford has had significant issues with this in multiple models and years, yet the 2018 Ford Edge continues to be excluded from these recalls. This issue did result in a recall in Canada and is pending a class action lawsuit on the 2018 Ford Edge. The lawsuit, entitled [XXX], et al. v. Ford Motor Company, is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, Case No. [XXX] . I required 2 repairs to remedy this known safety issue that the NHTSA has yet to acknowledge or require Ford to address. All of this with 38,000 miles on the vehicle. I have seen this exact issue addressed in model years before and after 2018, but have yet to see progress on remediation for the 2018 year.

The contact's son owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the low coolant warning light illuminated. The contact's son drove the vehicle to his residence and parked the vehicle. The next day, the contact’s son attempted to start the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed engine and that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the engine failure was due to coolant leaking into the cylinders. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.
The engine began having a misfire around 58k miles and low coolant levels. No coolant drips or leaks were detected on the exterior. After some research I found that the 2.0 Ecoboost used in these vehicles is prone to coolant intrusion due to a defective engine block. After a trip the car unexpectedly would not start, it would crank over but it would not start. After sending it to my dealer they confirmed coolant intrusion and explained the car needed a new engine. The car was bought certified used, every service was done on time at a Ford dealer. There was no way to avoid the defective engine in this car, no amount of preventative maintenance would stop this from happening. Ford has a bulletin out on these engines, so they know there's an issue. There's no reason for a low mileage well cared for vehicle to need a replacement engine at 60k miles.
In 2015 Ford Motor Company made an engine block modication on the 2.0 Liter Ecoboost (USA made) engines in an effort to keep the turbo boosted engine running cooler. The engine was used till 2019 in Edge and Escape models. For 2020 to current year the engines were redesigned ending the problem. At the end of 2023 I began experiencing a rough idle at times, check engine light displaying, white smoke from the exhaust and intermittent stalling. I was advised by a Ford dealer that I had coolant in my #3 cylinder indicating the problematic block. Ford's TSB (#19-2346 12/19/19) fix was a new engine assembly and also stated itcould result in a engine fire. A estimate roughly $8800.00. I purchased the Edge September 2022 with 32,000 miles. Ford would not extend any warranty coverage since the 5yr drivetrain warranty had passed. Currently the like new Edge (40K miles) sits in my driveway because my daughter is affraid to stall in traffic again with her 7 year old with her. I researched and found the NTSB made Ford perform a recall on 2012-2015 1.5 liter ecoboost engines due to similar problems.

Coolant leaking into the cylinders. Repair is a new engine block. Nothing can be done to prevent it. Ford even has a technical service bulletin about the problem but have not recalled the vehicle for the issue. Car has only 82000 miles and is a 2018 and now having to pay for a new engine.
Car has a defect that causes coolant to leak into the engine’s cylinders, which can caused corrosion, oil dilution and contamination, and engine failure. Ford failed to disclose these defects and created a safety risk, because the lack of coolant created by the leaks caused overheating and resulted in total engine failure. Car is available for inspection. Mechanic has confirmed car needs a new engine. See attached. Car has not been inspected by any others. ' The car has multiple error codes indicating failure.

Coolant is being used up but not leaking anywhere on the ground. It is mis-firing. It has run out of coolant - with NO leak found anywhere. Check engine light comes on and goes off. Looks like the Ford Fusion Recall Issue but there is no recall on my VIN. I cannot afford to repair this defect. Can you do anything to assist my 2018 Ford Edge with its internal coolant leak?
Coolant leaked into the engine resulting in a total engine failure. Ford refused to cover the cost. The problem was caused by manufacturing defects. Ford has refused to take responsibility.
My 2018 Ford Edge is equiped with Ecoboost engine and as a result all these problems are occurring: Ford failed to disclose that these vehicles have a defect that causes coolant to leak into the engine’s cylinders, which can cause corrosion, oil dilution and contamination, and engine failure; and failed to disclose these defects create a safety risk, because the lack of coolant created by the leaks causes overheating and can result in the cylinder head cracking, total engine failure, and/or engine fires. Ford dealers have stated that I need a new engine.
After noticing the car ran rough at start up, the "check engine" light illuminated and white smoke appeared under the vehicle, the car was immediately towed to a Ford dealership. Because of the smell and white smoke, it was known that this issue was with the antifreeze/coolant for the vehicle. Once towed and checked out, the service provider found coolant had leaked between cylinders 2 and 3. This was caused by a leaking head gasket and/or faulty design of the engine's coolant system. Because of the leakage, the service department of the Ford dealership contacted me and told me that I would need the long block replaced and it is costing me $4,723.66 to repair a problem that was a manufacturing issue. This issue is a safety concern because the leakage causes the engine to overheat and either shut down or catch fire from the coolant being in the wrong spot. Thankfully, my family is unharmed because I noticed the issue, but this is something that should be repaired. The vehicle only has 75,000 miles on it as a 2018. The standard warranty was expired, but the vehicle should be able to last longer than this mileage without having an engine replaced. This is a well known issue with this vehicle, as a Technicians Service Bulletin has bee made for it. Due to the safety issues, I believe that Ford should be responsible for this cost and a recall should be made to ensure the safety of Ford Edge drivers. I know that other models of Ford vehicles have been recalled and are experiencing the same problems.
I was driving to a client and while on the interstate the alarm for engine temperature high came on. I pulled off immediately and put my emergency flashers on. I turned off the engine and waited 15 minutes as the manual said to do. I immediately went to buy anti freeze because it was low which was strange because we had the vehicle for two months at this point. Once I put the coolant in I checked the oil and it was fine. The car was ok and ran fine for about 1 week.We had made several calls to the dealership to have it repaired but they would not tow it at first until.ot broke down. Three weeks later. I called Ford because there is a class action lawsuit against them for failing to notify owners of a possible defect with the leak in engine coolant. Now the car needs a new engine because of a blown head gasket which the car was not driven very much after the initial incident happened it was only driven when we thought it was okay we did not know how serious the problem was until we researched the fact that it could have caught on fire it could have broke down in the middle of the highway thankfully the day that it broke down I was getting ready to take my son to school and it stopped right there in the middle of the driveway I could not get it to my parking spot so it was almost in the middle of our street. They finally agreed to have it towed without payment from us because we did not know about any issues and this came on all of a sudden with the car being not that old we did not expect this to be a problem or did we know how serious it was if someone from the dealership or someone from Ford would have let us know that there was a potential engine coolant problem then we could have had it remedied much sooner but with the dealership being many miles away we could not drive it there to have it serviced. I talked to Ford and they said to call or report it to the place I'm reporting it to right now because they said there's nothing they can do to help.

My 2018 Ford edge is needing an engine replacement. This is related to a technical service bulletin that Ford motor company released in December of 2019. TSB, 19-2346 and TSB22-2229. I am still covered under an extended warranty and powertrain warranty but they warranty companies are telling me because I had one oil change laps by 1,900 miles that it is not covered under warranty. Regardless, if it is covered under warranty or not, this should be something that Ford motor company pays for. Considering it is a known issue, there are open class action, lawsuits, and open forms about these recalls that haven't yet been called recalls.
At approximately 80K miles started to smell the odor of burning antifreeze. Was told new engine was needed due to water intrusion into engine. $5,000 later and a new engine, Ford would not acknowledge that this is a known ongoing problem with the Ecoboost engine.
The lug nuts are bulging and won't come off which as needed then the wheel can't as well. Just had new tires put on which the shop had to destroy one to get the wheel off. If a flat tire occurred I would not be able to take off a wheel and change it. I have heard this is a problem on the design for many Ford vehicles.

Recently, I purchased a 2018 Ford Edge from an outside dealership. I have been dealing with a misfire since November of 2023. A few days after I got the car the engine light came on, the dealership I bought it from supposedly "fixed" the car three times. First time was a bad coil in cylinder 1 thought it was fixed a few days later engine light comes back on I go to O'reilly's to get a free diagnostic check and it says misfire cylinder 1 so i take it back to them they say someone over lubed some parts putting it back in, they fix it. Now after this second time around is when I start noticing my coolent is disappearing and then a few days go by engine light comes back on and now im starting to feel thw miafire slightly so i let them know thinking it could be why im having a misfire. so i take it back in this time it was a clogged full injector in cylinder 1 and then they also check my coolent but i got charged for that "seperate" diagnosis they couldnt find anything leaking or any back head gasket so thought it was all good to go then a week goes by and the engine light comes back on now this time i tell them and thwy have me take it do a different shop for a second opinion, and they found coolent leaking into my cylinder 1. I called Ford to let them know because I am aware that this particular 2.0L ecoboost engine is under recall in a lot of cars and when i looked it up it said that 2015-2018 forde ege models qualifyfor this 2020 ford ecoboist engine recall but the ford service lady said they will not help me because my specific VIN number is not included in the recall, but for my safety and the fact that the engine was under recall I beleave they should fix my car.
I recently bought my car and the battery light was on when I test drove it. They told me to bring it back and they would fix it. That it was a sensor problem easy to fix. I have brought the car back multiple times. They put a whole new sensor system in, new battery, and just recently rebuilt the alternator. As I was driving the car home, the light went on again it comes on a few times in the day, and eventually goes off by itself. None of the mechanics know what to do now. I looked up on Google if there were any recalls on my car and read something about” the power supply cables at the starter, and the alternator may not have been properly secured, possibly resulting in an electrical arc. “ I’m thinking, possibly could this be it? The light that comes on says charging system service now in red and there is a picture of at battery. I do not feel safe, especially not knowing what the problem is.
