general problems of the 2017 Ford Edge - part 1

My 2017 Ford Edge se has been diagnosed with having a coolant intrusion into cylinders. I was not made aware of this defect neither by the dealer I purchased or by Ford. It seems like I might have to replace the engine which an inconvience given that I have own the car for less than 3 weeks.

The check engine light repeatedly comes on in my vehicle and despite expensive repairs and multiple trips to the mechanic, the problem is recurring. It has now been determined that there is a coolant intrusion into the engine block and the only resolution is to replace the engine block in its entirety which will cost thousands of dollars. This is a known issue with the Ford ecoboost engine and a known failure.

While I was coming home from work driving up the mountain on highway 35 in fort payne alabama my vehicle stopped moving and I rolled to a stop on the side of the road. I had to call a rollback and my dad so he could come pick me up. He heard the noise and knew it was the flex plate torque converter issue that Ford is having.

2017 Ford Edge titanium, 2. 0l with 6f35 transmission, ~70kmiles, owner has all service records. After routine service at Ford dealership ([xxx]), oil and filter change, inspection and coolant replacement; owner noticed upon driving home that the car would try to stall when placed into gear, then shudder and buck until the throttle was nudged and the car would start moving (forward or backward). Owner promptly returned car to the dealer. A service advisor replicated the problem and took the car into the shop where it remained for 3 days for testing and diagnostics. The mechanics diagnosis (uploaded in attachment) is that the torque converter is in a constant locked state and that something was "bad" in the transmission and likely a torque converter failure. The shop estimated $9,138. 33 to repair. Owner declined the excessive repair cost and limped the car home and into owner's garage where it currently sits awaiting some resolution. As this transmission has been the subject of prior recalls, owner believes the recall should be expanded to include this vehicle. Also noted, this transmission has been and may still be the subject of active litigation. Note: an extended warranty the owner had purchased with the car when new, expired just 4 months prior. Coincidence. The Ford 6f35 transmission is defective and should be promptly recalled in all vehicles! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Transmission failed without notice. Required full replacement.

I am trying to file a complaint about no parts for recalls. I have had three recalls on this vehicle and none of them has been rectified due to no parts available. I'm trying to find out why we cannot get parts to fix the transmission bell housing or the brake hoses on these recall notices? I also have a recall for the rear camera. I'm not sure if these recalls are just for my information, or if they ever intend to get parts? the transmission recall is from several years back, and now the recall quit showing up. I guess it magically took care of itself. Thank you.

Slow acceleration when the awd system is needed, due to failure of rear differential. No replacement parts are available, suggesting high demand due to high failure rate, possibly due to poor design.

The engine was shaking violently whenever the brakes were engaged. The vehicle required a full torque converter replacement.

The rear differential is now needing to be replaced for the second time. My understanding is that this is a common issue with the Ford Edge.

Engine is overheating due to coolant intrusion due to manfracturing error.

Started car and heard rattling noise. Took the car to shop and was told it was the flex plate. Called Ford to see if I could get it repaired under csp 22n12 I was told I could not because I previously took my car to the Ford dealer because it was driving rough and making a sound so I took it in to see if it was the flex plate (another Ford dealer diagnosed it with the coolant intrusion issue) and because they said they inspected it and despite making no repairs the dealership closed the csp 22n12 on my car. I called Ford customer service and was told I could file a complaint but there is nothing that they can do. First I had to deal with coolant intrusion and now the flex plate! I think it’s horrible that the consumer has to keep being financially responsible for the flaws of this SUV. Another defective part that I’m left paying for and now my car has to just be parked until I can afford it.

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 bought my 2017 Ford Edge titanium last year back in Dec of 2023. Well she had about 124k miles on it when I got it. Well theres almost 170 k miles on it now and I been very thorough with my maintenance. Transmission fluid, spark plus etc. Well im workin in tulsa one night and drop someone off and begin to hear this rattle noise. Well im an 1hr 30 mins away from hime so im prayin that I get back hime safely. Well I make it back. I take it to my mechanic and he said it sounds like your flex plate is bad or cracked. Well my understanding is other 2017 Ford Edges with my 2. 0 engine and 6f35 transmission has a torque converter stud bolts weld problem recall. Apparently thats what could be causing my flex plate to crack all of a sudden. Just the only thing listed under my VIN is a csp. To me if the torque conver weld stud bolts werent welded or tightened right at the factory I feel like that should be on Fords end to cover the repair vs regular wear and tear. Like my way of explaining is say you borrow something from someone and you break it. They shouldnt be liable if its your mistake? true? I dont want no lawsuit. I just want Ford to fix the issue with my car that their defect caused. Many blessings and merry christmas and thanks a million.

My Edge has been experiencing flex plate issues since 106,000 miles. It’s considered a csp through Ford there is a recall but my specific car “isn’t affected” this needs to be recalled so I can get it fixed. If this cracks all the way it could cause a fatal accident and there would be law suits. This is a huge safety concern, and needs to be pushed further as my car has the same type of flex plate as the other Edges that have been recalled.

No warrants of issues when it happened was driving back home when my car started smoking then it drove for a little bit and then it would shoot up to gear 4 then back down and then it stopped.

A check engine light appeared after a couple rough idle starts. I took it in to have the code read and it was a cylinder 2 misfire. It was explained that it was not a big deal, just needed to replace spark plugs. I replaced spark plugs (car has 65k miles), picked the car back and the problem still existed. Took it back in with the same check engine code of cylinder 2 misfire, this time the replaced a ignition coil. Picked it up and still had the same issue, and I took it back and they replaced the fuel injector. After the fuel injector was replaced, 2 days later I was driving it home still having the same exact issues of when I originally took it in rough, misfiring start the car over heated. I shut the car off and seen that I had zero coolant. I put coolant in the reservoir ( completely shocked because I had just had an oil change, and they didn't notice the coolant was low). The next morning I called the place I had been taking it and told them what happened and they were stumped. So, I called Ford told them the issues I was having, they said, they are 100% sure they know the issue( because it is a known issue with this year and make of vehicle) of what is wrong with it but to bring it in and they will run a diagnostic on it. With in an hour they said, that I had a coolant leak that was leaking behind the spark plugs and going out the exhaust causing the misfire and white smoke. To replace the motor will be $7k. I bought this car brand new, had the extended warranty and maintenance plan on the vehicle. It was kept in pristine condition and never missed a oil change or any recall. Then 6 months after the warranty is out, this issue began. Ford knows that this is an issue and they have a technical warning on it for the Ford Edge and other vehicles. It is a unsafe to drive and not fair that I need to pair 7k for a new engine on a issue they know they have with this engine.

Transmission started slipping in and out of gears and jerking in the middle of traffic, had happened multiple times. Have done research and seems it is happening to a lot of people.

My 2017 Ford engine had a catastophic failure and required replacement. Sequence of events: January 8 2024, check engine light came on and at 99350, the spark plugs were replaced to correct . March 12 2024, check engine light came on again at 100900, the coils were replaced to correct. March 19 2024, catastropic engine light came while driving on interstate 75, the engine block cracked and was replaced. While replacing the engine it was noted that the power take off asy-s was also defective and needed replacement. As things progressed it was learned that Ford knew of an engine design failure but did not issue a recall. Fortunately the interste highway engine failure did not cause an accidentbut easily could have. I am currently asking Ford for reimbursement of the enging and asy-s.

Brought car with 54k miles. Went to dealer 1 month before warranty ended. I was told there were specific problems which I fixed. I later went back a few months later and was told it’s the battery. The check engine light came back on a month later. I was told coolant is leaking into the engine requiring you to need new engine. It’s dangerous because car won’t go over 20 mph. Even if you push gas you can’t go faster. Smoke coming out of exhaust. Smell is toxic. There is no explanation as to why this happens.

We have a 2017 Ford Edge. Ford has a recall of flexplate on June 23. I called the dealership that sold us the car. I was told not to do anything unless it acts up. At 127,000 miles, it happened. It was rattling and would die at idle speed. Ford won't cover it because car has miles over. My concern is that I called the dealership and they told us not to do anything. We would on a slanted off ramp when it happened. It would die when we put it in park so we had to shift it to neutral when sitting. Could have been very dangerous because there was a lot of cars behind us.
