general problems of the 2017 Ford Edge - part 1

No incident has happened yet, my complaint it that there is a safety recall that can affect the rear brake lines on my vehicle, and if the fail it could cause an accident. This vehicle is 9 years old and there still is no solution available from the manufacturer!!! this certainly doesn't seem like a timely way to address a brake related safety recall.

At this point, I have been told to come in for a diagnostic check (my time off from work), but no parts and cannot fix it if the brake hose is leaking, my rear view camera is acting up at least on a weekly basis, can be at times more often then that, and they do not have the parts, also Ford is not making the parts at this time per warrentary employee at the dealership. ???? so consumer safety with Ford is - do not care about customer safety? I have to stop and take time for a diagnostic check, to be told yes or no if yes nothing can be done, if no let's say in a week it start to leak, again the parts are no being made at this time my recall letter is from 9/1/2025 over 5 months almost half a year and parts are not being made??? increase in stopping distance increases the risk of a crash. I thought customer safety was to protect from physical harm, Ford is not doing this so now , was I sold a lemon that cannot be fixed? try backing up from the driveway into the cudelsac and viewing for kids, and pets then all of a sudden camera jumps to moving lines and scares the crap out of you making you jump (while driving) please assist me understanding why part are not being made for these Ford Edges I know I am not the only Ford Edge on the road I see them when I am on the road. Can we please ensure not just drivers of the Ford Edge safety the to potential damage and injuries to the other vehicle or pedestrian that could be hit by these recall Ford Edges with no repairs in site or parts being made.

I had a recall performed last year because my car wouldn’t drive no matter what gear I shifted it into, that was the shifter cable recall. This December I was driving and the car started to roll backwards and now no matter what gear I shifted in unless it was in e brake.

2017 Ford Edge, front axle and ball joint had to be replaced around 33k- still under extended warranty. . Now same or opposite ball joint /axle making click/ ping at 43k no longer under warranty, cant tell left or right axle/ball joint. Will have to take it in to Ford at melbourne FL at personal expense. . Probably next month. . .

Rear differential has gone bad and needs replaced due to unsafe to drive.

There are two safety recalls for my car. Service brakes and rear camera. The camera stopped working four years ago. I took it to Ford, they said we can replace it for $1500. However, now they don’t have the parts. What kind of scam is Ford and NHTSA doing? the brake line recall was first reported over four years ago, I know this because I received a letter back then. I was told by the chapman Ford, I NJ, that when the parts come in they would contact me. Well that never happened. Again what kind of scam is being run here. I’m 73, I really need this camera repaired, I can’t afford $1500. So when are these parts available. A letter should be sent to all the people with an eta when parts will be available for recalls. VIN [xxx] . Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Two NHTSA notifications received in September 2025 and have yet to be contacted by fmc regarding repairs. Have concerns with brake line recall and at current time have completely blurred camera, and unable to view rear camera while backing up. Contact local dealer regarding repairs but they are unable to make repairs until fmc notifications. How long does fmc have to make repairs once notified by NHTSA?.

Recall notices sent out September 2025, no updates have been provided. I have contacted the dealer for additional support, and they just can confirm parts are not available. One of the recalls is for potential leaks from a flexible break line; seem that in six months parts would be available for something as serious as a break line; even the recall states it could lead to loss of breaking resulting in an accident.

Bad catalyst converter. Needs to be replaced. Vehicle is not even 10 years old.

Please see attached letter.

My adaptive steering light came on and my steering wheel turned to the left like I am turning left. I am on social security and can not afford to pay 4000 dollars to have this fixed. Ford has a recall on 2017 Edges for this. All these steering wheels are made just alike. This VIN# should be included in the recall. I do not want to have an accident due to them not fixing this vehicle. Please help me with this. Thank you.

I took my Ford Edge in as the engine was making a loud rattling noise, I was told I had a cracked flex plate and Ford will only cover half. I was never notified of this recall and now I am in charge of paying 50% of a safety issue because of Ford's mistake. I am now not able to drive my car advised by the mechanic because of this safety issue. This is a program by Ford and should be a recall. I should not be stuck paying 50% for something Ford messed up and am now not able to drive my vehicle as it was deemed unsafe. I also should not be paying 50% of something because Ford never legally notified me.

I'm having a issues with the decklift gate adjar with light on while travel. Also it was not closed properly shut tight. Even I open the gate door it won't open or closed. I know it simar with recall driver or passenger adjar door light on in the past. I'm not paying for the adjar decklid parts. Suppose it to be defects parts.

Took my car to my mechanic said that coolant was draining into my 2. 0 ecoboost engine in cylinder 4 causing misfire, white smoke to come out of my pipes, sweet antifreeze smell in the cabin. Have to constantly dump coolant into the car so that it doesn't over heat. When I start the car in the morning it acts as if the car is going to die if I don't hit the gas. Contacted Ford, they said it was my problem. I bought the car a year ago. It started at about 72000 miles.

Enginge defect, ecoboost 2. 0, coolant intrusion.

The backup camera doesn't come on when backing up. You can't see persons or objects behind you that could cause injury or death. Vision is obstructed by the build of the SUV in the rear of the vehicle.

Rear camera view unavailable.

My vehicle has the same issues related to a recall where the coolant leaked into a cylinder effecting the engine which now has to be replaced. The problem is that this recall is VIN specific which eliminates my vehicle from this recall. It is my opinion that this needs to be reviewed because somewhere along the lines somebody dropped the ball. How can my vehicle not fall under this recall due to a number?.

Torque converter problem not available for inspection still on vehicle. Problem was diagnosed by 1 independent and 1 dealer wrench light has came on 3xs engine light once 6/16/2024 wrench light 6/15/2024 & 6/16/2024 bought 2017 Ford Edge sport from carvana in 4/2024 silverrock warranty until July 29, 2024.

Engine miss fire cylinder number 4 and coolant leak with no visible leak anywhere but now adding half gallon of coolant every couple days. Was told about possible recall of ecoboost 2. 0l engine on 2017 Ford Edge with a coolant leak/miss fire of engine causing destruction of the engine and or causing a fire with the car.

Coolant leaked into the engine due to failed parts/seals on the car and therefore it now needs a brand new engine. Ford is aware of this issue and even issued a TSB. According to a mechanic as well as the Ford dealership service, it needs a complete new engine.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? -the engine had to be replaced due to coolant and oil leaking through the 4th cylinder into the engine itself, effectively killing it. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? -the car unexpectedly shook very violently, and would not properly accelerate due to the problem. Smoke clouded the street as I drove to the repair shop - and other drivers were worried for mine and others safety. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? -the problem was confirmed by an independent mechanic as well as a Ford dealer, who told me this is a common occurrence with this specific engine, though there is no recall. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? -the Ford dealer inspected the engine and came to the same conclusion as the independent mechanic - the engine had suffered an intrusion of oil and coolant through the 4th cylinder which effectively killed the engine. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? -the check engine light had been on for around a year prior. Also, the acceleration had been getting weaker and weaker.

I have a 2017 Ford Edge and have the issue of intrusion of coolant into the cylinders, which I learned from some research is a known problem that this model is having. It initially was a check engine light. I brought it to an oil change place and they ran the code and said I needed a tuneup. I got a tuneup and the light returned. It caused the engine to overheat. Luckily, I was not stranded but could have easily been stranded with my grandkids in the car on a roadway. The only resolution is a complete engine replacement costing me $8,000 because Ford has not issued a recall on this known problem and is not standing behind their product.

Our 2017 Ford Edge recently started a rattle noise when we start the engine. The noise goes away when we start driving and comes back again when we stop in a signal or take turns…mechanic told us they think it's a broken flexplate and they gave me an estimate of $1500 to fix that issue…[after] reading a few other forum articles regarding this issue what I found out it is a very common issue for Ford, which is almost always a manufacturing fault. ”.

My vehicle has a dash light warning for service that says "limited park brake function, service vehicle" and then applies my parking break on its own. I have at times be unable to get the parking brake to release and will have to start and stop my vehicle numerous times before it will accept me releasing the parking brake.

I bought a brand new Ford Edge in 2017 with a warranty of 5 years and 60,000 miles. Several weeks ago, my car turned the engine light on and began having difficulty staying on during idle time and at stop signs. Immediately, I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed the problem of a leakage of coolant into the cylinders. They quoted me for an amount greater than the trade in value of the vehicle. From my online research, other customers are having the same leakage recurrent issue for Ford Edges between 2016-2023. The dealer could not tell me the reason behind this leakage causing the engine to overheat. This coolant leakage happening to a lot of their vehicles is putting individuals in danger of fire, explosion, or the vehicle stopping at any movement even while driving. There is absolutely no indication that this leakage was caused by poor maintenance or excessive wear and tear, and this is a recurring issue on their cars. I am afraid to drive the vehicle and cause an explosion or a fire on the road. However, Ford dealerships across the country are sending individuals on their way with defective engines without addressing the reason why new cars are having coolant leakage and having to replace the entire engine. It is Ford's responsibility to acknowledge defective parts and stop putting customers in danger. The component Ford is saying needs repair is the long block and it can be available for inspection if needed.

This is regarding reference number 830243. We took our car to the dealership in huntington beach California for a recall regarding the flex plate being cracked. The dealership asked if there were issues to the acceleration and if the car was shaking, I said yes. They said it may be the flex plate and to bring it in. We received notification that the flex plate was not cracked, but the torque converter was the issue. This make and model, built at the oakville plant in may 2017 has previously had flex plate recall. We are assessing why our vehicle was not under that recall. I have spoke to an agent at NHTSA who stated that the manufacturer is in charge of the recall roll out and what VIN numbers are covered. I called Ford, who I assumed to be the manufacturer of the Ford Edge vehicle and they explained to me that they do not manufacture anything (very re-assuring). Today when I spoke to Ford, it has been useless. No real answers. They asked me to speak to the dealership. Danielle, the dealership service dept manager at huntington beach Ford located at 18255 beach blvd was not very kind, explained to me that my car was not covered under 22n12 because the flex plate was not cracked. But the program terms state that a one time repair if needed to the flex plate, transmission fluid pump and torque converter would be covered. It appears that twice our vehicle make and model, built in oakville, mi has had recalls to the torque converter in 2017 with the Ford reference number 17s16 and again with the flex plate with 22n12 which is a part directly related to the torque converter. This appears to be a safety issue with this vehicle that nobody will address.

Within the past few weeks I recall hearing an explosive sound while driving. I pulled over to assess the situation but could not see any obvious cause of the loud noise. I seldom open the moon roof but when I did I made the connection between the explosive sound and the shattered glass moon roof. My research shows that there have been many reported incidents of shattering moon roofs and I would like to know if the manufacturer is liable for the damages.

When got into a fender bender, originally it was just the bumper. After a wheel, there was a noise coming from the car when idling. Once taken in for repair, repair company stated it was the ac fan that was the problem which was not done by the crash but elsewhere. After taking the place to three other shops, first being the repair company, the second being Ford motors, which both told me it was okay to drive my car, the last shop confirmed that it was the flywheel and not the ac fan that was broke, and I shouldn't be driving my car. After my car was fixed, out of pocket, I get sent the recall information letter in June for Ford motors to fix this problem in February.

Moon roof glass cracked on its own, looks like a spider web. Afraid that glass cracks will continue to grow and begin leaking or worse chip off shards that could possibly cut skin. Has not been inspected by dealer, police, manufacturer or insurance. No warning lights or any other symptoms or indications - simply opened the roof cover one day & discovered the cracked glass. The moon roof electrical slide functions properly, it’s just the glass that is the issue.

Since November I am smelling antifreeze and exhaust in the cabin of the car. It was so bad it would burn my eyes- we had to ride with windows open, in the winter in the ne. Took to Ford the found a tpi on the exhaust odors but have to go through “steps” to find it. While I pay a deductible for them to find this. Ford is aware of exhaust odors but has not issued a recall yet for this.

My Ford Edge se flex plate broke while on the highway I was rapidly slowing down and could not get over cause of cars passing me on the right and left causing the vehicle behind me to almost rear ending me. I had it towed to the Ford dealership and he has confirmed it is the flex plate that broke. There was a rattling sound approximately a week prior to it breaking I had an appointment with the dealership the same day it broke and got towed in.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while reversing into a parking space, the vehicle suddenly stalled. There was an abnormal cracking sound coming from underneath the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle had been towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission had failed. The contact stated that vehicle failure was related to a customer satisfaction program NHTSA id number: 10144200 (power train) and NHTSA campaign number: 22v413000 (power train) however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure then referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 71,600.

My car loses power when I press the gas. For example, I can come to a stop, wait until it’s safe to turn in front of another car, then try to take off — but the vehicle suddenly loses all power. It won’t accelerate, and I have to keep pressing the gas and hope it goes. Sometimes I have to pull over, put it in park, turn the car off, and restart it before it will drive again. This also happens on the freeway. When this issue happens, the car also shifts very hard afterward, causing it to jump forward. This makes the vehicle extremely unsafe — especially when I am trying to turn in front of cars moving at high speed and my car suddenly loses all power. I have taken the vehicle in five times for the same issue, but the Ford dealership has not been able to repair it. I have also called Ford’s corporate office, but they said they cannot help. I opened a case with the bbb as well, and they advised me to open a case with you. At this point, I am at a complete loss with this issue. I travel with my two kids in the car, and I am honestly afraid to drive it — but I have no other vehicle.

The vehicle stopped going into “reverse” and the transmission indicator remains in “neutral” even when shifted to the “park” position which has made the vehicle prone to rolling unless the electronic parking brake is engaged. Once in the “park” position the vehicle will not shift into any other position and remains locked unless the shift lock release is engaged to allow the vehicle to shift into “drive”.
