Water Pump problems of the 2010 Ford Edge

The Ford 3,5l duratec engine water pump caused coolant to leak into the engine and is currently breaking down my motor. As coolant & engine oil don't mix, so I have to replace it. Will cost me more than the SUV itself, so going to junk it and beware anybody with any Ford Edge with that 3. 5l duratec engine with the internal water pump. It will fail and by time you notice it, it's too late. Cause my SUV to stall & shut off numerous times because the sensor are off because of the coolant leaking inside the motor.

Driving home from work in my 2010 Ford Edge and turning onto my street the vehicle shuts down, barely make the corner clipping the opposite curb slightly, look down and the temperature gage is buried in hot. No warning lights just instant shutdown. Open the hood and see water dripping from the passenger side of the motor but don't see a water pump, find out later it is internal and caused a catastrophic failure, vehicle needs new motor for $7,950. 00 -.

While driving late at night the temp gauge went on to hot/ car stalled out on a main street I let it cooled off and drove home. Had car towed to Ford auto nation next day. I was told that the water pump and engine needed to be replaced, cost would be $7,259. 00. My car has less than seventy six thousand miles on it.

While driving down the highway, my heater started blowing cold air and within 5-10 minutes my gas pedal would no longer accelerate. 1-2 minutes after my gas pedal would no longer accelerate, my engine light came on. Thankfully this happened as I was approaching an exit and I was able to exit the highway before my car overheated and completely shut off. My car overheated 1-2 minutes after my engine light came on. There were no signs of any problems on my car before this all happened. It was very sudden. I was about 1. 5 hours away from home and had to have my car towed. A mechanic looked at it and said the coolant is completely draining out. They use an entire gallon of coolant and it poured out of my car immediately, in under a minute. As of right now, I have to replace the water pump on my car. However, in order to replace the water pump, the mechanic said they have to completely remove my front engine in order to access the water pump. This will call for at least 12 hours of labor, raising cost of what should have been around $200 for a new water pump to between $1700-$2100. If the mechanics find that the coolant has indeed mixed with my engine oil and ruined my engine, then I will have to completely replace my engine, raising the cost further to $7k+. According to kelley blue book, if I end up having to replace the engine, this will cost about 2-3 times what my car is worth.

The water pump is located inside the engine failed without warning, it circulated anti-freeze through the engine distroying it. This happened within the span of 5 minutes with no symptoms, other than a loss of all engine power at hiway speed. No warning or engine lights came on. Frankly other than the loss of engine power there were no indications the engine had failed. There was a terrible noise as I found my way to a safe spot to stop the car and it was only during this time that the temprature in the engine started to rise. I believe this is the most basic kind of irresponsibility where as Ford has designed a vehicle with a know defect and failed to notify its unsuspecting owners. It is also my belief that Ford should be resposible for pay 100% of any and all repairs to make an owner whole. At this point I have no pictures, other than an engine that looks fully intact, with an oil dipstick that is a milky desert sand color.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Ford Edge. While driving 50 mph, the engine stalled on the highway. When the contact exited the highway, the engine was smoking. The contact stated that the check engine indicator illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was towed to ganley Ford west (16100 lorain Ave, cleveland, OH 44111, (216) 941-9800) where it was diagnosed that the water pump leaked coolant into the engine and a new engine needed to be installed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 150,000.

Water pump leaked it's attached to motor so water in oil it's costly to repair. No light comes on to worn you. Nothing. Now engine maybe wrecked. Stupid design on Ford's part. No recalls.

My Edge has about 137,000 miles on it and the water pump failed when we were almost 200 miles away from home. I received no warning lights for low coolant, or overheating engine, just noticed it on the temp guage. Normally a water pump replacement is not a big deal and can be done pretty quickly in a few hours and for under $500 for parts and labor, but because of this particular design in these Fords the engine has to be basically taken apart and it will take about 13 hours of labor to complete the job. The parts for this job are less than $200 but because of the labor and the extensiveness this repair it is going to cost me between $1200 - $1800 to complete and that is not even at the dealer. Not only do I need to have the water pump replaced but because of the failure it dumps coolant into the oil and oil into the coolant system which means I will need to have the oil changed and the coolant system flushed as well. All of these things start to add up. I have even read where this failure can cause so much damage to the engine the entire thing needs replaced. Ford is aware of this design flaw but has decided not to do anything about it on this particular model and others using the same engine. I don't have any documentation to upload yet as my car is still at the shop and I am not expecting to get it back for a week. I am just praying there is no damage to the engine.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled with no warning. The dealer oroville Ford (1350 oro dam blvd w, oroville, CA 95965, (530) 533-3313) diagnosed that the water pump seal failed which had caused internal intrusion of water and oil which had contaminated the engine. They indicated that the engine assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer had issued 5 TSB on the engine but had not issued any recalls on the engine. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000. Dyd.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Edge. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (waldorf Ford in waldorf, MD) where it was diagnosed that the engine was damaged due to a faulty water pump, which caused the engine oil to become contaminated with antifreeze. The failure was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 120,000.

With no warning the water pump stop working and flooded into the engine and destroyed the engine. The Ford dealership told me that the engine would have to be placed at an estimated cost of $9k.

I was at a stopped light when the abs light came on and the car locked up and began shaking. I immediately turned the ignition off and then on again. I wasn't able to use the gas or brakes so I turned the car back off immediately again. After having the vehicle towed to a Ford dealership, they informed me that the water pump burst and all of the coolant ran into the engine causing it to fail. I've only had the vehicle for five years and maintenance has always been up to date via Ford dealerships. During these various maintenance checks, Ford has never notified me of any possible issues with my vehicle and now my engine has failed and I've never had any other issues with my vehicle.

Sudden engine failure at 65,000 miles when driving at about 45 miles per hour. The Ford dealership where the vehicle had been serviced said there was a loss of antifreeze and the engine overheated and needs to be replaced. I was stranded on the airport road with no feeder and had to call 911. There was no warning lights to go on or any warning. When reading other post on internet the car behaved just as those who had confirmed that there was a water pump failure. This was the Ford duratec engine where the water pump is driven with the timing chain and if it fails the water enters the oil system and destroys the engine.
