The engine starts rough but clears and the vehicle uses some radiator fluid. We took it to have it checked out and the dealer told us we need a new engine. Ford has a technical service bulletin out for this issue but because we are over on the mileage they will not cover anything. We now have a 3 year old vehicle that is basically worth nothing. I called Ford motor company and they will not even admit that they have a problem with this defective engine. The dealer told us that the new motors have the defect corrected. I feel Ford should stand behind a defective engine but they won't until the government tells them to.
I went to the dealership where I bought my 2017 silver Ford Edge, because on 5/8/2020 the engine icon came up on my dash. So I immediately stopped at the local jarett Ford dealership in lakeland, FL, thinking it just needed an oil change. After I got this done, the engine icon never went and I began to experience my vehicle shaking and it also began heating up. This happened in 3 different occasions, with a red warning message on my dash of the precaution I should take to avoid overheating. Each time I immediately stopped the vehicle, waited for it to cool down, and added coolant to the radiator coolant tank. I went to elder Ford of tampa, FL, where I bought my vehicle and the service manager, terry was completely oblivious as to who NHTSA is as well as no idea of the customer satisfaction program. As I went to drive away my vehicle, now it did not want to start. Frank tried to see if it was a battery issue and tried jump starting it but it had nothing to do with the battery. By god's miracle my vehicle suddenly turned on and by his mercies I was able to arrive at my house. Now, I cannot get to work and are stuck because they say that there is nothing they can do because my warranty is over. I need to know if you can help me resolve this matter that is not my fault. I am very concerned that they have no idea as to what NHTSA is nor your customer satisfaction program. I will appreciate someone helping me, or pointing me in the right direction.
I was driving going 35 mph accelerating to 40 mph as I was on the inside lane of three lanes entering the state highway to go over the bridge when my indicator light came on showing over heating and I lost power. I immediately had to pull off the road and waited 1 1/2 hours for engine to cool down to check my engine. When I checked I had no coolant in my radiator . I spoke to a Ford service employee and they said get it to them to check out. They inspected and tell me there is a service bulletin 19-2346 stating the defect. A known defect causing dangerous situations for unaware car owners. Ford has told me they will not take responsibility for their known defective issue and want $ 7,000. 00 to replace whole engine. Currently it is at Ford being repaired at my expense but hopefully our government officials or a lawyer can help redeem this situation.
