general problems of the 2016 Ford Edge - part 1

My 2016 Ford has ecoboost coolant intrusion defect, the system failed to hold pressure, dropping significantly below operational thresholds. A subsequent borescope inspection confirmed that coolant is actively leaking past the block sealing surface and directly flooding the engine cylinders. The service facility has confirmed that because the structural engine block itself is defective, a simple head gasket replacement is mathematically unviable. The only permanent, safe solution is a complete engine long block replacement. . I contacted Ford and was told they are aware of this but cannot fix the issue or assist in fixing the problem.

2. 0 ecoboost coolant intrusion. Vehicle is now undrivable and was told the current engine cannot be repaired and a whole new engine is needed.

My 2016 Ford Edge with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine began having rough starts, misfiring, and an intermittent check-engine light. The warning light repeatedly turns on and off, but the problem continues. On 96000, the Ford dealership diagnosed internal coolant intrusion into the engine/cylinder area and advised that the vehicle requires major engine repair or replacement estimated at approximately $10,000. This defect can cause continued misfires, reduced engine performance, overheating, stalling, or sudden loss of power while driving. I am concerned that the engine could fail or lose power in traffic without adequate warning. This appears to be a premature internal engine failure rather than normal maintenance. Ford declined my request for financial or goodwill assistance even though coolant intrusion is a documented problem affecting similar Ford ecoboost engines. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this defect and determine whether a safety recall is necessary.

"Ford emissions recall 24e10 addresses defective factory pcm software parameters. This software defect caused unbalanced air-fuel ratios to ruin both catalytic converters on my 2016 Ford Edge (bank 2 at 128k miles and bank 1 at 157,552 miles). The dealership, [xxx] of [xxx], completed the 24e10 software flash under repair order #xxx, but Ford corporate's sssc portal (contact [xxx]) officially denied the consequential hardware replacement. They claim that because the new software prevents future codes, they are not responsible for the massive hardware degradation caused by forcing my engine to run on their old defective software for 157,000 miles before a fix was available. This is an attempt by Ford to evade financial responsibility for physical components destroyed by a known factory engineering defect.

Engine started having a rough idle on start up and within a few days the check engine light came on. Took to lonnie cobb Ford in henderson, TN. Dtc p0300 and p0302 diagnosed. Coolant leaking on to piston head. Issue involved in lawsuit miller vs. Fordmotor ecoboost lawsuit. Safety issue due to possible engine lock up or fire. Out of warranty. Quote for $6500 on an $8000 vehicle for an engine defect Ford has been aware of for years.

My 2016 Ford Edge equipped with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine experienced an internal engine coolant intrusion failure that resulted in significant engine damage and ultimately required replacement of the complete engine assembly. The coolant intrusion occurred internally within the engine, allowing coolant to enter the combustion chambers and causing the engine to malfunction. The failed engine assembly and related components are available for inspection upon request. The failure created a significant safety risk because the engine experienced a loss of power and reliability while the vehicle was being operated. Coolant intrusion resulted in engine misfires, rough running, reduced engine performance, and sudden loss of power or engine failure while driving. This presented a risk to me and other motorists, particularly if the failure occurred while traveling at highway speeds or in traffic. The problem was diagnosed and confirmed by a qualified automotive service facility, which determined that the engine had suffered from coolant intrusion and that the appropriate repair required replacement of the complete engine assembly. The vehicle was inspected by the servicing facility as part of the diagnostic and repair process. If requested, documentation of the diagnosis and engine replacement can be provided. Prior to the complete engine failure, the vehicle exhibited symptoms consistent with coolant intrusion, including engine misfires, rough engine operation, and loss of performance. Warning indicators and diagnostic trouble codes associated with the engine malfunction appeared prior to the failure. The symptoms progressively worsened until the vehicle could no longer be safely operated without replacing the engine assembly.

A month or so ago my car had a rough idle and the mechanic couldn't figure out why. Then last week my car lost power on the interstate, during rush hour. I'm lucky I didn't cause an accident as the loss of power was so sudden and all the traffic around me. Somehow I was able to safely pull over on the shoulder. I had my car towed and the mechanic found that the flex plate had failed and is cracked. As a result the car will no longer start. The recall letter that my mechanic found stated that a rough idle was one of the symptoms of a failing flex plate. My vehicle is 10 years and 3 months old but only has 93000 miles. The dealership said they won't cover it because it is out of date and their customer service line was no help. There were no warning lights or codes that appeared on the display screen. My mechanic found the issue by taking somethings apart.

Coolant intrusion. 2. 0 engine blows white exhaust.

Total engine failure at 81,000 miles due to coolant intrusion. This is due to a known defect by Ford as outlined in the technical service bulletin #19-2346. Engine light and codes po316 and po304 promoted spark plug replacement, which did not clear the codes. 1 day later, the coolant intruded into the cylinder and the engine block failed. Ford stated they would extend warranty if this happens within 7 year/85,000 miles. Since my car is a 2016 with only 81,000 miles, was perfectly maintained, and was under mileage, I hoped Ford could cover a full block replacement (as stated in the TSB). The representative denied my request since the car is 9 years old, but assigned a case number and said she’d send the report to the ‘safety’ department for the option to further investigate if they chose.

The engine did not want to go from a stop condition. I was pulling out if an intersection and the engine seemed to misfire. I almost got t-boned.

The vehicle shake while idling, and a check engine light indicating code p0302 (cylinder 2 misfire). After looking under the hood the engine cooling system was severely low on coolant, and a loud sloshing liquid noise could be heard behind the dashboard. The vehicle was brought to an authorized Ford dealership, where technicians confirmed internal ecoboost coolant intrusion into cylinder 2 as documented in Ford technical service bulletin TSB 22-2229. This structural design flaw creates an immediate safety hazard, as the engine is at risk of catastrophic failure and stalling while operating at highway speeds.

Check engine light on. Rough idle and start. Coolant intrusion in cylinders. Known Ford issue affecting engine. No recalls but bulletin posted by Ford.

There was coolant leaking into the cylinders creating a white smoke from the tail pipe exhaust. Our safety was put at risk as the car was stalling out and would shake when started. We took it to a Ford dealership and had it check out with them performing a scope test on the cylinders and they said we needed a long block replacement.

Coolant leaking into cylinder. Runs rough, check engine light on.

Confirmed coolant intrusion into the cylinder. Low coolant level, white exhaust smoke, runs rough, code p0303.

Check engine light and add coolant warning came on. When I let the car cool down, I looked and noticed coolant reservoir was completely empty. No puddle under vehicle. Walked to nearest auto parts store, bought 2 gallons of the needed coolant. Next day had vehicle towed to repair facility.

Coolant intrusion issue has occurred. Coolant reservoir drains rapidly and there is a strong coolant smell every time the car is driven. This is a common issue in the Ford 2. 0l ecoboost that Ford has not officially adressed.

Engine coolant keeps getting severely low. Coolant intrusion into cylinder 3 is occuring causing severe misfire, low compression, coolant consumption, power loss, white smoke, that causes minor throat and eye irritation, and catalytic converter damage. Constant low coolant level increases risk of fire hazard of vehicle.

The car has only 82,273 miles on it. We experienced rough idling and took it to a mechanic. They found that the #2 cylinder was cracked and leaking coolant into the cylinder. They also stated that this is a known manufactured defect, but there is no recall by Ford. They gave an estimate of $9000 to get a new modified engine. We took it to another mechanic for a second opinion and he confirmed the crack and charged us $5000 for the new modified engine.

Transmission shuddering at low speeds. Losing acceleration getting on to highway. Hard shifting and slippage.

. The car would make 'running water sounds" when turned off and smelled funny. We were feeling odd, migraines, nausea and upper respiratory infections. It smelled like coolant and we became very concerned for our safety. We had just had one recall repaired and cannot believe something else is now at fault! per the Ford dealership there was a service bulletin stating a known defect in a part that prevents coolant leaking into the engine. Ford shared the bulletin and that the engine cannot be repaired. This is due to a known defect with the part that is even on google as a defect. Ford is now saying I have to pay $6k for a new engine because they cannot repair the defective part because the engine is now ruined due to the leak. I purchased a warranty for the car, but that company is saying this is a defect on Ford. This should be a recall due to Ford admitting fault in the part causing this issue. We are so lucky the car didn't seize on the interstate!.

My vehicle is having an internal coolant leak inside the engine, which is a known issue with this 2. 0 eco-boost. Symptoms are: •?misfire on cylinder two about once a week •?low coolant, and eventually hearing the waterfall sound from air in the coolant system •?rough idle during 1st start of the day occasionally •?white exhaust first start of the day occasionally.

Vehicle information: year/make/model: 2016 Ford Edge se engine: 2. 0l ecoboost mileage at failure: ~79,000 miles description of the problem: I am reporting a safety-related defect involving engine coolant intrusion into the cylinders on my 2016 Ford Edge equipped with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine. At approximately 79,000 miles, my vehicle experienced engine misfires and internal coolant loss. A Ford dealership diagnosed the issue as coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders caused by internal engine block failure, which required replacement of the engine block / engine assembly. Safety concern: this failure presents a safety hazard due -sudden loss of engine power -risk of engine stalling while driving -increased chance of breakdown in traffic -potential loss of vehicle control in certain driving conditions an engine should not experience catastrophic internal failure at this mileage under normal operating and maintenance conditions. Known pattern and manufacturer awareness: this issue is well-documented across numerous Ford vehicles equipped with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine, including the 2015–2018 Ford Edge and other Ford models. Ford has issued multiple technical service bulletins (tsbs) addressing coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders due to engine block design issues, demonstrating manufacturer awareness of the defect. Despite this, no recall has been issued, and affected owners are often denied assistance once the vehicle is outside the warranty period. Request to NHTSA: -review this issue as a potential defect investigation -evaluate the frequency/safety implications of coolant intrusion failures in Ford 2. 0l ecoboost engines - consider whether further action or recall is warranted to protect vehicle owners and the public.

Coolant leak with coolant intrusion into cylinder 2. This problem was reproduced by the dealer and we had to have a new engine installed.

Coolant intrusion into 2 and 3 cylinder, only 80,000 miles and the vehicle has been maintained religiously and we have to replace the engine!.

I have a Ford Edge 2016, which I can see online that many vehicles like mine are having the same problems. I am having a severe coolant leak into the engine. It trembles when I start it or when I am at a red light, white smoke leaks out of my exhaust when I first start my car after adding coolant. I am constantly adding coolant, mostly every other day because it burns it so fast. My vehicle alerts me if it is overheating when I am am low in coolant, which scares me to think of a fire. I don't have the money to fix such an expensive repair. I feel that this is Fords responsibility to fix such a big, dangerous and costly issue.

I’ve had my car nine years. No problems with the body there’s no rust on it at all, and I love my Ford. Just as I hit 100,000 miles the warning light came on the car. Come to find out it is a head gasket leak and is required to have a whole new engine. Yes the warranty is over as the car has been paid for and the warranty is expired. My complaint is that Ford knows this is an issue which I know for a fact that they know this. I cannot afford $7100 for a new engine when I just want to keep my car. I can’t even afford another car not even a beater for $1000. I’m complaining that Ford knows this is a known issue, but because I am out of warranty, they will not help me. I’ve had Ford’s most of my life and never had an issue like this. Very disappointing that a big company like this has a known issue but will not help repair it.

The contact owned a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that cylinder #3 needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred approximately two weeks later. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that all three cylinders needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred approximately a week later. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 70 mph, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to the residence. The vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics, where it was diagnosed that an unknown hose had leaked fluid into the engine, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer, where the same assessment was made. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, the engine warning light illuminated. The driver became aware that the coolant level was low. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who confirmed that the failure was due to a misfire in cylinders #2 and #3. The contact stated that the spark plugs were replaced, and coolant was added, but the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that coolant was leaking into the engine. The mechanic informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact called an unknown local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and confirmed there was no recall coverage for the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

My 2016 Ford Edge has 95,000 miles on it and I have only owned it since spring of this year. Out of nowhere, I start having an antifreeze leak, and notice it is coming from my water pump, and my mechanic says it is going to cost $2000 plus dollars to fix it. I called several other repair places and they won’t even do the repair because it’s such a big/expensive job. I have researched about the class action lawsuit about this particular problem in my exact model with the 3. 5l motor. If my dad had not of noticed the leak, it would have completely ruined my motor driving it around much longer. I am struggling financially after having serious health problems this summer, and I simply can’t afford to pay for this repair. I can’t even get approved for any more loans or credit cards, because I am in so much debt. I want to know what can be done about this, as this is way too much financial stress for me to have to deal with. At the very least, Ford should compensate me and take care of the repair costs.

The coolant is leaking into the engine area. Causing repeated coil failures and misfire and I assume damage to engine. I believe engine block needs to repaired or replaced. Also, during both dry and especially slippery/wet conditions. . . My vehicle is veering to both sides on its own while driving . My hands are on wheel going straight and it just drifts, slips and slides. Afraid I'm going to crash. No warning lights. Might be esc and or abs systems. It seems these are known issues for this year make and model but these recalls and warnings for some reason are not attached to my VIN. I need them attached to my VIN so that I can take to Ford dealership for repair before these system failures kill me.

My 2016 Ford with only 56,210 miles has developed a critical engine failure. The engine block due to a manufactuing design flaw has caused the coolant to leak into one of the cylinders. Dealership informed me I need a new motor at the cost of $7300. 00. Ford will not stand behind the repair due to the age of my vehicle. It's in excellent condition other than the defective engine block.

Coolant leaks into engine. Also leaks into spark plugs causing spark plug misfire. Engine block cracked. Only at 66k miles.

This is a follow-up to my previous NHTSA complaint ?11689215. ?regarding the flexplate failure on my 2016 Ford Edge (VIN: [xxx] ). This is a follow-up to my previous NHTSA complaint regarding the flexplate failure on my 2016 Ford Edge (VIN [xxx] ). Ford opened case xxx but closed it without any resolution, even though my vehicle remains undrivable. A new case cxh-xxx 1 was later created under customer satisfaction program 22n12 for the same defect. My car is still at autonation Ford bellevue (wa); the dealer confirms no repair authorization or contact from Ford corporate. This defect causes a rattling noise, flexplate cracking, and sudden loss of power while driving—a clear safety hazard. Ford continues to deny repair based on mileage limits in the csp, although this is a known safety-related defect. I am requesting NHTSA to review Ford’s handling of csp 22n12 and require Ford to treat this as a full safety recall without mileage restrictions.

I was having issues with my car starting. Once I got it started a large cloud of white smoke rolled out of the exhaust. As I drove it the overheat warning came on. I took it in to a shop. I was advised that a coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders, particularly with ecoboost engines. This issue stems from a design flaw in the open deck engine block, which can lead to misfires, white smoke, and ultimately engine failure1. Ford issued TSB 22-2229 addressing this issue, my car has 116,102 miles on it. Upon doing some research, there have been thousands of the same model of engines that have been reported as having this issue, yet Ford has not recalled the engine. I am now have to shell out over $10,000 to fix an engine that Ford is aware is defective yet not doing anything about it.
