My car have 13300 ml the water pump are leak flue into the engine oil lubrication system, and damage the engine, am doe my research and I fin out the water pump utility live is 15000 mi acorder to eastern district court of michigan resolution of Ford motor company manufacture engine fail.
Our water pump on our 2008 Ford Edge limited, suffered a breakdown which allowed water to enter the engine internally. The water mixed with the oil inside the engine causing a complete engine failure. We were informed it would cost $7,800. 00 to install a new Ford engine. At the time of engine failure the odometer showed 105,000 miles. The car was being driven in town at a speed of 35 miles per hour in the month of August, 2019. I noticed the air conditioning was blowing hot air so I glanced at the dashboard to see the engine temperature gauge registering h (hot). At no time did the "check engine" light come on to alert me of an engine problem. I had the Edge towed to a garage where we were shown a bill for $7,800 to replace the entire engine due to the water pump bursting and leaking water into the engine which mixed with oil in the engine. We believe this engine failure was the direct result of the location of the water pump which was "internally" in the engine.

Driving to work I noticed the temperature gauge got all the way up and I pulled over, since I was driving on the I-41 northbound highway, I decided to get off the highway since I was pretty close to the exit. I called my husband for assistance and right after he dropped me off at work, he checked the SUV and noticed the coolant reservoir was very low. We took it to the mechanic and after the inspection his diagnostic was a �water pump failure � since the water pump is located �inside � the engine itself, it will be a �very expensive fix� so the mechanic recommended to report it since it may be fomoco's faulty. I completely agreed with hem, because the fact they installed the water pump inside the engine, doesn't make any sense, because just a inexpensive pump affected the whole engine and to repair it, will cost more than the SUV itself. This happened on January 28th 2019, around 1:30. My husband and I are hoping there is a �recall � regarding this matter.
Water pump went out causing car to overheat. Over view of vehicle determined that when the pump went out it mixed the antifreeze and oil inside the engine. Instead of just replacing the water pump now I need a whole new engine.
Internal water pump failure while driving causing engine to shut off.
The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. While driving approximately 40 mph, the contact heard a clattering noise emitting from the vehicle. The contact also noticed hot water coming from the vehicle. The contact lifted the hood and observed that the vehicle's water pump had burst, which caused water to leak into the engine. A certified mechanic diagnosed that the water pump failed and caused the engine to fail as well. The water pump, timing chain, tensioners, phasers, and several other unidentified parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact called white Ford Lincoln (located at 4120 front st, winnsboro, la 71295; 888-303-4692) and was informed that the water pump entered the engine, which caused failures to occur, and that they would have to contact the corporate office. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened case number: cas13013218. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
At a stop sign, stepped on the gas, the car wouldn't move. Still running and in gear. Apparent water pump failure with no warning at all. Leaked antifreeze into the oil. No recalls or tsbs on the water pump.
Without any warning - no high temp light or any engine light - the water pump failed causing severe damage to the engine because it caused the timing chain to go slack and allowing coolant to get into the engine. This seems to be a known issue with this engine. I ran diagnosis the same morning with perfect results before failure. I was turning onto my street when vehicle lost power and would not start again.
The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the water pump fractured. As a result, the coolant and oil mixed, which damaged the engine. The engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 138,000.
I own a 2008 Edge with approx. 150,000 miles on it. The car has stalled on me 3 times in the last 3-4 months. The first time the car stalled I was on the freeway during rush hour. Thankfully I was able to restart the care and move it off to the side of the freeway before it stalled again. After having it towed, I was told that the water pump had cracked. The water pump involved a lot of labor and cost me about $1100-$1200 with the tow. About a week later, I was again driving on the freeway and the car stalled. Again, I was able to make my way off the freeway before the car died completely. Once again, I had to have the care towed. This time, I was told that the engine appeared to have coolant in the oil and created a murky goo. My engine needed to be replaced. Another $2200. The last incident was Friday, may 20th. I had no indication there was a problem of any kind. I literally drove less than half a mile when the care overheated and stalled. I called and emailed Ford to see if I could get any assistance, but have either have had no response or an email indicating that if the car is not under warranty or if no recalls have been issued, I would be responsible for any work that needs to be done. I contacted the dealership where I purchased the car, but have not received a response. I am out of money and options. I have been without a car for almost two weeks and feel incredibly frustrated by this situation. I find it absurd that a vehicle would get a blown engine with no warning and that a recall has not been issued. I am facing another $1200 or so in vehicle repairs.
The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. While at a stop light and making a left turn, the contact heard a grinding noise emerging from the engine compartment. The vehicle stalled. While attempting to start the vehicle, all the warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle did not start. After approximately one minute, the vehicle started, surged, and then stalled completely. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the water pump failed and damaged the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.
The water pump is located inside the engine and when a simple $160 part failed, it circulated anti-freeze through the engine necessitating a complete engine replacement. This happened within the span of 5 minutes with the first symptom the heat went off inside the cabin. No engine lights came on, the heat came back on and went off again, still no indication of engine or trouble lights going on. Then major engine failure, instantly the oil light went on and within seconds the motor overheated. There was a terrible noise as I found my way to a safe spot to stop the car. This is the most basic kind of irresponsibility in creating an expensive product like a car. American companies owe it to the public not to foist a huge design defect on an unsuspecting public and should willingly pay 100% of any and all claims for this issue.
Without any warning or codes, the car stopped running. Upon restart the fan ran extremely fast and loud. Upon inspection, the water pump gaskets had essentially melted, all coolant had leaked out and the entire coolant/water pump system needed to be fixed and replaced at a cost of more than $3,000. Of course the vehicle was only 8,000 miles out of warranty. I've seen at least one other complaint identical to this one. It is quoted here: "discovered my 2008 Edge has a failed water pump asy. Car overheated due to this. According to several seasoned mechanics and Ford, this should not happen to this car with this amount of mileage. The way this car was engineered, it is a $2300+ repair - for a water pump! spoke with Ford several times asking for them to step-up and take responsibility. Got no help except I should keep my receipts. Very disappointed in Ford. ".
