59 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2023

The car's entire engine needed to be replaced due to coolant intrusion in cylinder three - at a cost of $7,000 - through no fault of mine. The car had had absolutely no problems up until this time, and the prescribed regular maintenance was preformed religiously. When "googling" Ford Edge coolant intrusion, I found that numerous Ford owners with 4-cylinder turbo engines have had to have their entire engines replaced due to this apparently well-know problem. Some with less than 50k miles. I was also told by the dealership service department, that the engines have not been redesigned, so that this new $7k engine, may well develop the same problem! I am forced to pay the $7,000 repair bill, otherwise it would have no trade-in or sale value, and would just be a very large lawn ornament. This is an insanely expensive repair bill for owners, for a design flaw that apparently Ford knows well about. Please help! thank you.

62 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 03/13/2023

Our vehicle was making very loud noises and the cooling fan kept running. We took the car to the Ford dealership as it has some recalls that needed to be fixed and we needed some general maintenance performed. The dealer let us know that the water pump had a crack and needed to be repaired immediately. I looked online and it appears that this is a known issues with Ford vehicles. This was a very costly repair because they had to take out the engine to be able to reach the water pump. We were advised that if this was not repaired the leak could reach the engine and cause total failure. This amounted to $3166. 71 for labor and parts. Https://topclassactions.

63 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 03/07/2023

Traveling 80mph on turnpike and lost all ability to propel vehicle forward due to broken flex plate.

First repair $2400 by aaa mechanic shop, second time (4 months later) covered by parts warranty, 3rd time (2 months later) and Ford wants $4500 and no reimbursement for the first repair.

64 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

65 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2023

Vehicle is at 72,511 miles and suddenly started to misfire in idle. The vehicle is displaying coolant intrusion and I have video proof of coolant dripping into the 4th cylinder while running a pressure test on the coolant system and using a borescope. There is no maintenance that could have been done to prevent this issue as it is a clear design flaw. Based on TSB: 19-2208 the only repair is an engine block replacement. This car is now at risk to overheat, fail on a busy free way, and needs a repair that is too expensive for a customer to take on due to Ford’s poor design. Someone should not have to be seriously injured or be killed in order for this recall to be issued. People deserve better and this is very unethical to not recall the engine. Please require Ford to recall this vehicle’s engine.

The complaint number given to me by Ford is cas43676484. I also submitted another complaint with NHTSA. Gov number 11530072. I am unable to pay for this repair due to being on ss disability since 2017 and also becoming a widow on 2/12/22.

70 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 01/12/2023

I own a 2015 sport Edge that got serviced from the dealership at the beginning of the year 2023 for a rattling noice, loss of power, and a shut off problem while been operated on the highway. Expenses where paid out of pocket twice for the same reasons but now in July 2023 I received a recall letter 22n12 about this problem and after getting another diagnosis from the dealership I've been advised that a new engine is needed and that Ford will not cover any expenses even after the recall 22n12 stating that the problems I'm having with my car are the same diagnosis the dealership gave me months ago but now this recall for some reason is not available even thou is was a manufacturer issue. Thanks but this issue put my family at risk multiple times while operating the vehicle after a recall was created and never fixed by Ford.
