I purchased a 2016 Ford Edge and it has been one problem after another. This particular problem, and the last straw, has to do with coolant leaking from my car. After reading several complaints over a period of years it seems to be the same issue with many owners of the same make and model, a crack in the cylinder or motor (long block). I also read that Ford is aware of this problem and nothing has been done towards resolving the situation. This cannot be an ongoing issue. What will it take before a recall is made? after paying for several repairs since purchasing the car, I have exhausted all of my resources and can not afford an engine replacement. Will someone please, please, please, hear our complaints and offer a resolution that will not cost us an arm and a leg as a result of the manufacturer's negligence. I am very disappointed in Ford.

Tony betten & sons Ford, grand rapids, mi, replaced a leaking plastic oil pan 03. 14. 2025, at mileage 61,182. There were no warning lamps or messages and no incidence of damage. We noted continuous oil spots on the garage floor, even after a 01. 13. 2025 oil and filter change. We were concerned that this oil leakage would compromise engine lubrication, possibly leading to engine failure. We have purchased 3 Edges, the first a 2008 model went over 200,000 miles without oil leakage. We currently own a 2022 Ford Edge st. It is surprising for an oil pan to spontaneously leak at 60,000 mileage. After our excellent 200,000+ mileage experience with the 2008, we expected similarly spectacular operation from the 2016.

Flywheel in motor cracked. There was a recall for this that expired in 2024. The crack caused me to not be able to drive the vehicle. Cost of repair is over $3000. I called and filed a claim with Ford and they suggested I file here too.

The engine lost power, ran rough and smoked really bad while driving in trafic causing me to pull over on a busy highway. The vehicle was diagnosed with a coolant leak into cylinder 3 which is a known problem with the ecoboost 2. 0 engines from 2015 to 2018. The vehicle only has 66,800 miles. Ford has a TSB that suggests replacing the engine if it has that problem but refuses to pay for it.

The 2016 Ford Edge 2. 0l ecoboost has sadly caused us countless issues and extensive $ to repair. The latest issue is the 2020 investigation that revealed a design defect of the engine block and cylinder head, and coolant has been leaking and burning in the engine cylinder, which has lead to me needing a new engine. Unfortunately, the suit displays documented proof Ford knew about it and didn’t disclose it to buyers. This has lead to vast overheating, risking the vehicle catching on fire while in use, burning empty coolant, and a potential for having a blown engine on the highway. We took the car to a trusted shop when the overheating issue occurred and this was our circumstance.

2016 Ford Edge titanium with 58800miles, brought to Ford dealership with check engine light on, diagnosed with blown cylinders/engine failure, requiring engine replacement.

Car has 63000 miles and engine needs replaced because there is antifreeze getting into cylinders. Had checked at a service station. Safety concern is gasket may fail allowing antifreeze to shoot onto block causing fire. There's a recall for the 2. 0 ecoboost from 2015 to 2018 for this same problem but vehicle isn't under a recall. Also engine light has come on 2 times. If reset the computer light turns off for a little while then comes back on. This started 3 weeks ago. Also vehicle runs rough at cold start up and blows out white smoke.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the issue of coolant intrusion in my Ford vehicle. Despite maintaining the car regularly and following the manufacturer’s guidelines, I have experienced repeated problems with coolant entering areas where it shouldn’t, which has caused significant engine performance issues and potential long-term damage. As a Ford customer, I expected a higher standard of quality and reliability, especially regarding critical components like the cooling system. I am disappointed that this issue has not been addressed proactively by Ford, and I urge the company to investigate this matter further and offer a resolution to prevent future occurrences for other affected customers.

My Edge has 41,000 miles on it and the engine light came on. I took it to my local dealership and they found that it has coolent intrusion and therefore I need a new engine. The dealership told me there is a TSB# 22-2133 (2. 0l ecobooser - coolant in cylinders) for this issue but Ford never issued a recall. I did my own research to find out that there is a class action lawsuit in the eastern district court for this exact issue. I contacted Ford corporate and they said they know nothing about this issue but would help expedite the repairs of my vehicle. The TSB I looked up is directly from Ford so I am a little preterbed they aren't taking responsibility for this. Engines and rental cars are not cheap.
