general problems of the 2017 Ford Edge - part 1

Coolant intrusion issue due to defective build.

2017 Edge with the 2. 0l eco boost coolant leaking into engine cylinder causing the engine to be inoperable.

The component that has failed is the engine and it is available for inspection. The vehicle on multiple occasions has had loss of power while driving. The most recent incident was when I was driving 100 miles on interstate 81 and could not go more then 60 miles an hour. I had multiple semis and vehicles that had to go around me as the speed limit was 70. It also had severe loss of power going over mountains to go home. It also would shudder upon starting up and constantly lost antifreeze. I took the vehicle to stuckey Ford bellefonte service shop and they confirmed coolant leaking into cylinder 2 and that it needed a new engine. They performed a multi-point vehicle inspection and a visual inspection. Stuckey Ford has inspected it and confirmed it. I called Ford customer care head quarters and quoted them the Ford technical service bulletin tsb19-2346 and they refuse to take ownership of the faulty engine. I also talked to stuckey Ford in bellefonte and they stated they could not do anything to correct the faulty engine except charge me $8,000 for a new engine. Previously the check engine light came on. New coil packs and spark plugs were installed but this did not fix the problem. It often shuttered while starting up. When a scan tool was placed on it the codes were p0316, p0302, p0300 which means misfire cylinder 2, misfire first 1000 revolutions per minute, turbo over boost out of parameter.

I am currently dealing with the coolant intrusion into cylinder 2 of the 2. 0l ecoboost engine. In the beginning of xxx at about 134k miles, the check engine light came on. I was at a stop light (. 2 miles from my home) and I got a warning message telling me the coolant temp was high and engine power was reduced. When I got home, I saw that the coolant was low, but there has not been any leaks noticed in driveway, refilled and was fine for 2 weeks. During those 2 weeks, I was having a rough idle at start up, and white smoke coming from exhaust. Then on the way to work the engine was overheating. Pulled over and turned off on the side of a highway to let it cool. After 10 minutes, turned the car back on to continue to work (which was a mile away), also turned on the heat to pull from the engine, the air was cold until I started driving then it warmed. I am now having to fill the coolant every few days and having misfires while accelerating causing me to stall and then traffic approaching me having to slow to avoid hitting me. I purchased this vehicle used in xxx from a dealership in [xxx] and the carfax did not state any of these issues at the time of purchase. The only repair given is the TSB 19-2346, and no safety recall has been issued for this defect. This defect poses a safety risk as it can lead to sudden engine stalling, loss of power while driving, and potential engine fires due to overheating. There is a financial burden since this repair is costly and Ford will not help with the cost of this repair. Car warranties are denying claims because Ford as acknowledged this defect. And dealerships are still selling these used cars despite the issues and because it is not a recall, they are not held liable for these repairs or made to disclose the defect. This is a huge safety issue and financial burden. As I am now out of a vehicle that Ford new was a design defect.

I am writing to formally demand a permanent resolution and full coverage for a severe manufacturing defect on my 2017 Ford Edge (VIN: [xxx]). Ford shop has repeatedly failed to properly diagnose this vehicle, costing me over $2,023 in useless repairs [image_s6uqaz. Png, image_qhjem9. Png, image_1taqvw. Png]. Here is the undeniable timeline and evidence of your shop's malpractice:first visit (invoice #xxx): I paid $1,072. 67 for code p0036 [image_s6uqaz. Png]. Ford team replaced the downstream O2 sensor and updated the pcm software per TSB 18-2212a [image_s6uqaz. Png]. Ford invoice stated the "complete vehicle check up" was ok [image_s6uqaz. Png]. The light came back on immediately. Second visit (invoice #xxx): I paid $950. 95 because the vehicle was shaking [image_qhjem9. Png, image_1taqvw. Png]. Ford team replaced all 4 spark plugs and the #2 ignition coil [image_qhjem9. Png, image_1taqvw. Png]. Fordclaimed the issue was fixed. The light came back on again. The absolute proof (xxx): after experiencing another violent cold-start shudder, I took the vehicle to xxx garage for an independent inspection. They found codes p0302 (cylinder #2 misfire) and p0316 (misfire on start-up) [image_qhjem9. Png]. Upon opening the hood, the engine coolant level was found to be severely below the minimum line, completely empty at the bottom of the reservoir. Your technicians completely missed or ignored the root cause twice. This is a textbook, documented case of the notorious Ford 2. 0l ecoboost coolant intrusion / engine block structural defect. The burning coolant poisoned the O2 sensor during my first visit, and fouled the brand-new cylinder 2 spark plug overnight during my second visit. Because your shop repeatedly misdiagnosed a known factory defect while taking thousands of dollars from me, I demand the following:full engine replacement (short block/long block) covered 100% under Ford's customer satisfaction program 21n08 or via dealer goodwill assistance at zero information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C.

2017 Ford Edge 2. 0l ecoboost with 114,500 miles. Permanent p0303 code due to documented engine block coolant intrusion defect.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the vehicle idled very roughly. The contact stated that the vehicle was quickly losing coolant after adding a pint of coolant to the coolant reservoir. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was scheduled to be diagnosed by the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 135,379.

The engine has a manufacturing defect causing internal coolant intrusion into the combustion cylinders, exactly as documented in Ford technical service bulletin TSB 19-2346. A certified Ford dealership inspected the vehicle and explicitly confirmed this engine block failure on official paperwork. The vehicle exhibits severe engine misfires, rough idling, low coolant levels, and a check engine warning light. This defect creates an immediate safety hazard due to the high risk of sudden, uncommanded loss of motor power and vehicle stalling while operating in active roadway traffic. The engine remains available for federal safety inspection upon request.

Took my 2017 Edge in for check engine light on. Tech found code p0302 & p0316 for misfire code. Followed TSB-22-2229 and inspected for coolant leak. Found coolant intrusion in cylinder #2. Assessed that a new engine is needed (long block repair/replace). Quoted $12,623. 84 + tax. Advised that if I continue to drive my vehicle “it would not last long. ”.

Driving the car and it started to shake and smoke. Was at highway speed and it suddenly loss power and slowed. There is a known TSB from Ford for coolant intrusion and this is what is occurring.

Cylinder misfire (e. G. , code p0301-p0304) low coolant levels with no visible leaks rough idle/shaking on startup check engine light.

The coolant is getting consumed by the engine. I need to add coolant every so often and there is no visible leaks in the hoses. It cause the check engine light to come on, a rough idle at start, and a cylinder to misfire.

Engine started with rough idle after setting and misfired. White smoke from exhaust consistent with coolant intrusion.

Experienced car can be rough on start. Check engine light came on in the process. I fear the reported possible premature head gasket failure perhaps cracks between the cylinders. Coolant might be migrating into the combustion chambers, leading to misfiring, corrosion, and total engine failure.

C. 552(b)(6).

The vehicle overheated one time and was taken in to be looked at immediately. We received confirmation that there was a coolant leak due to Ford's faulty design of the engine. The engine needs to be completely replaced and only has 57,000 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, and it was determined that there was a coolant leak in cylinder #2. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was diagnosed with an obd2 scanner and a dtc for a misfire in cylinder #2 was retrieved. An appointment was scheduled with the dealer to inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 62,800.

99k miles on it, just got diagnosed with coolant intrusion and it needs an entire motor. My warranty company is refusing to pay for it due to manufacturer flaw and defect. So now I’m left paying a monthly car note on a car that’s sitting in my driveway. Single mom just lost her thought to be reliable transportation to take care of her family. Don’t have 10-11 grand to spend on it. Ford knows about this defect and isn’t doing anything about it.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. While driving approximately 25 - 35 mph, the engine was running rough, and the message that the engine was overheating was displayed. The contact turned off the vehicle and waited, but the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, and it was determined that there was a misfire in cylinder #3 caused by coolant intrusion. The contact was informed that the long block needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Coolant is leaking into the combustion chamber. Car can stall causing a major issue depending on speed and location. Yes, my mechanic has confirmed. Not inspected yet by manufacturer. Yes, check engine light has come on in the past and had the spark plugs replaced twice. This time they saw coolant in the combustion chamber.

Structural failure of the engine block. Confirmed the coolant leak into the cylinders, you are dealing a TSB 19-2346 engine block defect.

On August 31, the check engine light on my 2017 Ford Edge had a check engine light come on. I took the car into the original dealership that sold me the vehicle. The service department diagnosed the car with a coolant intrusion leak into the engine and would need a long block engine replacement. The car only has 31,000 miles on it and I was never made aware that this issue is longstanding with these vehicles with engines from 2015-2017. If I had been notified of this faulty manufacture issue, I would have taken the steps to rectify this issue before the problem arose.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the check engine warning illuminated and dtc: pc03 was displayed. The contact pulled over to the emergency lane on the highway, and while attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to operate as intended. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced and that there was coolant leaking into cylinder #1. The engine was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 131,773.

I am reporting a loss-of-coolant and rough-running condition consistent with coolant intrusion into the cylinders, the defect described in Ford tsbs 19-2208, 19-2346, 22-2133, and 22-2229, and the subject of NHTSA defect petition dp26008. The engine has unexplained coolant loss with no visible external leak. It also has a rough start. A stored diagnostic code was present; I believe it was p0302, signalling a misfire in cylinder 2 and p0316, signaling misfire detected on start up. No crash, fire, or injury. I am reporting before a total loss of power because these failures are described as occurring while driving. In August, I brought the vehicle into my local Ford dealer for an oil change, described the coolant loss, rough start, an almost overheating situation, and the known 2. 0l ecoboost coolant-intrusion defect, and asked them to perform the cooling-system pressure test and spark-plug inspection in Ford’s tsbs. They refused the test, stating it sounded like a car they saw the week before. They also refused to note on the repair order that they had refused it. No oasis campaign printout was given to me. Ford has acknowledged this failure mode in service bulletins. The specified repair is a long-block replacement. There is no Edge 2. 0l customer-satisfaction program equivalent to the 1. 5l short-block program. I want the defect investigated as a safety defect because coolant intrusion can cause misfire, overheating, and loss of motive power, all of which can be safety issues if they happen on the road in traffic.

The 2. 0l ecoboost engine is indicating an error code of p0302 after an engine service light. This code is for a cylinder 2 misfire. The vehicle reserve coolant tank is showing low and in need of coolant after a recent oil/fluid service. This likely is the beginning of the known issue of coolant intrusion into this 2017 2. 0l ecoboost engine. This results in the need to replace the longblock of this vehicle. The design is a known defect and the vehicle has less than 55000 miles. The vehicle is scheduled for repairs on September 8, 2026. Due to engine failure this vehicle could cause a road hazard, accident, or roadside response.

Coolant leaked into the engine and the car began shaking and overheating. The check engine light began blinking when this occurred. The shaking of the car and overheating of the engine created unsafe driving conditions in the middle of driving my family to an event. The vehicle still starts but is unsafe to drive given the shaking and persistent concern of overheating.

Ecoboost coolant intrusion. 2. 0l ecoboost engines common in (2015-2018) models suffer from a design flaw where the coolant leaks directly into the combustion cylinders. Took my car to to Ford repair shop lucas Ford on [xxx] in new jersey and they said I need a new engine due to this exact flaw. I was quoted $9000. If this is a known flaw Ford company should pay or replace my engine. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I read on my news feed today about issues with a 2017 Ford Edge that there are problems with coolant leaking into the combustion chamber and that we should report this to the NHTSA. We just traded in our 2017 Edge that had this problem. In August of 26 I had a check engine light come on and the engine started running very rough, I had o'reilly's hook up the diagnostic tool and it showed it needed a tune up. I put new coil packs and spark plugs in and this did not take care of the problem. I took the vehicle to performance truck country in woods cross utah, the found that there was coolant leaking into the #3 cylinder via a warped block. Please see attached document and pics. We would like to help in anyway for others who may have been affected, I am available by phone, text or email. Thank you,.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was driving abnormally rough, and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with coolant intrusion and engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

2017 Ford Edge with appx. 82,000 miles diagnosed with coolant intrusion in # 3 cyclinder (Ford 2. 0 litter motor).

Our 2017 Edge with the 2. 0 eco boost has been diagnosed with coolant intrusion into cylinder #2. Only repair is a new long block. It has 74000 miles.

Engine is misfiring due to coolant intrusion leak issue. The only solution is full engine replacement. A check engine light with code p0303 was shown. The car occasionally runs rough and coolant was observed to be low.

The vehicle had approximately 113,000 miles on the odometer when the initial engine problems began. It began intermittently shaking violently for several seconds immediately after startup. This occurred periodically for approximately one week. During this time, the check engine warning lamp illuminated, and diagnostic trouble codes p0300, p0302, and p0304 were recorded, indicating multiple-cylinder misfires. At that time, the issue was believed to be related to the spark plugs and/or ignition coil packs, and repairs were planned for the following weekend. Approximately four days later, before those planned repairs were completed, the vehicle began making a noticeable water-running or sloshing sound from behind the dashboard. The sound would continue for approximately 5–10 minutes after startup, even when the vehicle had not yet been driven and the radio, heat, and air conditioning were turned off. While driving, the sloshing sound would return whenever the vehicle stopped and accelerated again, including at stoplights. The coolant level was then checked and found to be below the minimum level, and additional coolant was added. Despite adding coolant, the level again dropped below the minimum after only a short drive to pick up my children from a sports activity. No visible coolant leak was observed underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was subsequently taken to a mechanic for inspection. The cylinder head was removed and taken to a local parts store for additional inspection. A new head gasket was installed, and the vehicle was reassembled. Since the head gasket repair, the vehicle has been driven approximately 1,200 additional miles. Approximately two weeks after the repair, the vehicle again began experiencing a rough startup similar to the original symptoms. I am concerned that the underlying problem remains unresolved and that the repeated coolant loss, misfires, and severe shaking at startup could result in engine failure or loss of reliable operation.

Driving the SUV, and experienced power loss. Getting on expressway, the motor was acting erratic, and check engine light was on and off. Took to Ford dealer and they said the engine was no good, coolant leak. So I went to other dealers and all said the same. Finally went to langs automotive, and they did a long block engine replacement. The SUV has 60,000 miles! without the replacement the SUV was a danger to drive.
