Tl the contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. While driving various speeds ,the vehicle overheated and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact stated that anti-freeze was added to the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the water pump was leaking. The contact called sheehy Ford of marlow heights (5000 auth rd, camp springs, MD 20746, (301) 298-0793) and was informed that the water pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 100,000.
The water pump on this vehicle is located in a position that requires a full and expensive removal of the engine to even check on it. Manual has no water pump maintenance schedule. The water pump has failed internally and dumps coolant into the engine and oil pan. There is no way to know this is coming or has happened until your engine overheats. By that point the coolant has already run through my engine and caused irreversible damage that requires a complete engine replacement. Ford is and has been aware of this issue and refuses to do anything.
2007 Ford Edge. History: regular scheduled maintenance performed always, garage kept, taken well care of. Mileage at this time is 145k. ***driving along (in town) when I noticed the Edge was idling really low (note: 2 weeks after scheduled oil change, inspection and new battery)-all of a sudden heard this terrible clanking noise. It sounded like the whole car was falling apart. I pulled over in to a parking lot, shut the car off. Tried to crank it again and it wouldn't crank-finally did after several tries (still making this terrible sound). * warning lights, no fluctuating in gages---nothing. We had the Edge towed to our Ford dealership and were told the water pump went bad and the engine was destroyed. Our oil was full of water/coolant--it looked like muddy water. What? how? no warning, no signs? after much research we are finding that the water pump is inside the engine, therefore if the water pump "goes" there are no external signs of leakage---it's kindly leaking in to your engine and destroying it. This literally happened in a matter of minutes. Yes, this is safety issue--it left me stranded and now I'm without a vehicle for another week or so while a new engine is being ordered an installed. I can't believe Ford hasn't addressed this "design" issue with all the complaints I've read thus far. This deserves a recall and at the very least it deserves Ford's attention to be redesigned. Research also shows this is not just a Ford Edge problem---it's other Ford makes as well. This is now an $8000 "fix". Please have this looked in to on the consumer's behalf.
The engine went out due to a bad water pump but no warning signs were present. It only overheated for 2 minutes and water and oil mixed which caused the engine to go out completely.
