general problems of the 2017 Ford Edge - part 2

Common engine failure on the 2. 0l of cylinder cracking allowing coolant to leak into engine and misfire. Engine filled with coolant and wrecked the motor. Ford has done multiple engine swaps costing customers $8,000 for a defective block they changed in the newer years. I feel we should not pay for their mistake!.

The check engine light turned on. It was diagnosed at auto zone as 'cylinder 2 not firing correctly' and the possibility of a bad sparkplug. At the Ford dealership (2 days later), it was diagnosed as a 'coolant intrusion'; leaking coolant into the engine. The engine currently works but the leak will cause engine failure. The Ford dealership service agent told me that this model Edge as well as the escort with the same engine has had this same issue repeatedly. The engine has less than 70,000 miles and is no longer under warranty. Through researching this issue on my own, many people (especially on reddit) have identified the same issue with these Ford cars ranging from 60,000-70,000 miles. The dealership is offering $2,000 check/buy back or a replacement of an engine at a value of $8, 350.

Answers to specific questions above: *head gasket, coolant, engine failure *a running engine/coolant/and head gaskets are valuable to a vehicle to operate *confirmed by an independent service center inspected by manufacturer, police, or insurance. When I got the first notification of a coolant warning, I drove it immediately to the independent service center check engine light came on, then the coolant is low light, to which I then took it in for service I purchased this vehicle in December 2024 from a private party with approximately 56,000 miles on it, which is well within what should be considered reasonable, reliable use for a Ford vehicle. To date, there are approximately 61,000 miles on the vehicle. In August 2025, I was forced to replace the motor due to a head gasket and coolant issues. The work was completed at a reputable local auto shop, auto aces, at a total cost of $6,649. 30. After further research, I discovered there is a current technical service bulletin for this exact make, model, and year, identifying the same issues I experienced. I understand that a TSB is not an official recall; however, it demonstrates that Ford was aware of the defect. I firmly believe Ford bears responsibility for this failure and the financial burden it has caused. Additionally, after only 16 months, the battery inexplicably failed and required replacement. While this was covered under warranty, it further illustrates the unreliability of this vehicle. This expense was not the result of normal wear and tear but of a documented defect that should never have been passed on to consumers.

I am filing this report due to a serious and costly engine failure in my 2017 Ford Edge titanium with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine. My vehicle has always been properly maintained and I recently experienced pre-mature engine issues at only 93,000 miles. The issue began with rough starts, hovering rpms, and eventually led to a complete engine failure. My mechanic diagnosed the problem as coolant intrusion into the engine, which I have since learned is a known issue covered by Ford’s technical service bulletin TSB 19-2208. It appears most people begin experiencing this issue at 50,000-90,000 miles. The cost to replace the engine is between $8,000 and $9,000, and my vehicle is no longer under warranty. I am still paying off this car, which makes this financially devastating — and this failure occurred well before the end of a reasonable engine lifespan. I’m concerned this issue poses a safety risk, as coolant loss and engine failure could happen suddenly while driving. Ford has not issued a recall or formal repair program, despite hundreds (if not thousands) of similar complaints online. I respectfully urge the NHTSA to investigate the 2015–2018 Ford Edge with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine for a potential recall or safety action related to premature engine failure due to internal coolant leaks.

Bought this car a couple of years ago. In the past 6 months we have had to have brakes/rotors fixed ($650), spark plugs, etc ($780). It's had issues with not starting after fueling up with gas. It's been riding rough and rattling/vibrating. Took it to mechanic and he told me it was a manufacturer issue with cylinder 3. Coolant has been leaking and causing misfires. Basically needs a engine rebuild. Recommended we call Ford dealership because it has had several reports filed for this reason. We immediately went to dealership and were basically told "not our problem". But we will run a diagnostic exam for $145 but unless it's under warranty it's your problem. We're like no thank you. Literally just had a $80 diagnostic exam done at the other mechanic. Still owe several thousand on this vehicle that's now basically gonna sit and rot away. Mechanic told us it was unsafe to drive.
