Coolant Leaking problems of the 2018 Ford Edge

2018 Ford Edge leaking coolant into cylinders 2 and 3. We have been told the engine has to be replaced, Ford has known about this problem for a long time and will not fix even though its proven their design was faulty, very frustrating.

My engine light came on. Upon starting my car, it?s basa rough idle for a few seconds before going to normal. Code was ran an it was determined to be a cylinder 2 misfire. My heat had quit working. I looked under the hood and the coolant tank was early empty. I refilled it. A few days later, the light came on while driving saying over temperature. Checked again and coolant tank was almost empty again. Had it looked at and there was no sign of an external leak. Upon searching, I came across newson law in nashville who has a potential law suit against Ford because of so many complaints for this exact issue in 2016-2018 Edge with 1. 5 or 2. 0 ecoboost. Mine is a 2. 0. All of the reviews I have read on this issue are the exact same issues happening. Most of which are happening after the warranty has ran out. This is the case for me.

My 2018 Ford Edge had the check engine light illuminate recently one morning when I started the engine. The engine had a rough idle/chugging and white smoke from the exhaust that also occurred when the engine light illuminated. I shut the engine down, and restarted the engine to see if the issue would replicate, which it did, but not as extreme. I had taken my vehicle into the local Ford dealership about six prior to this incident for a faulty fuel valve, and the Ford Edge acted the same way, except that the vehicle engine would also chug after refueling, which it didn't do with this current issue. With this most recent case, I took the Ford Edge to the dealership for diagnosis at 10am several days later because they didn't have any immediate availability. The service manager told me at 430pm that afternoon they couldn't replicate the issue, but wanted to keep the vehicle overnight for further testing. At 130pm the following afternoon, I was told the engine would need to be replaced because coolant had leaked into the engine. Apparently, Ford has issued a TSB about this issue for Ford Edges from 2015-2018, and other models, but they haven't issued a recall. I was told the dealership had submitted a claim to the corporate office for a full engine replacement, and since this was a known issue, they didn't see any issues with it being approved. I have been told it will be some time, no guarantees, as to when I will have my Ford Edge returned since there are other Ford Edge's with this issue.

My 2018 Ford Edge threw a code p0301. Which is a misfire in cylinder 1. Coolant leaking into block and started throwing a lot of white smoke out from the exhaust. Took the vehicle to the dealer and after their diagnostic and a few questions to me Ford is needing to replace the motor. The vehicle was difficult to start each morning and the hen the motor was off for a while. Eventually it would start. Other then the check engine light and the white smoke out the exhaust I noticed no performance loss.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle leaking coolant unto the engine causing the engine to fractured. The contact stated that she noticed the failure while the vehicle was smoking and was driving erratically. The engine warning light illuminated. The contact mention that the vehicle was undriverble. The vehicle was taken to university Ford durham, 5001 durham-chapel hill blvd, durham, nc 27707, and was diagnosed that coolant leaking into the engine and had fractured the engine. The mechanic informed the contact that a new engine needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 69,747.

Had oil changed at dealership in Dec 2020and advised of low coolant. Tech checked no leaks found. March 2021 check engine light came on code p0301, misfire in cyl 1. Had new spark plugs put in. Drove 500 miles, code came back. Swapped coil pack from cyl 1 and 2, drove another 450 miles code came back. Had injectors checked, all ok. Car started having a slow sluggish start to it. Noticed coolant was empty. Refilled, within a day empty. Took to shop and coolant in cylinders.

I have a Ford Edge with 60k. It has been diagnosed with an internal coolant leak. Siezed and stalled up on the highway because coolant has leaked into cylinders 2 and 3.

My 2018 Ford Edge, 67,000 miles, has and engine light on the dash. I had the code read and it indicated a #2 cylinder misfire. The car is at the Ford dealership and they have indicated that coolant has leaked into the #2 cylinder. I have research this on the internet and there seems to be a lot of Fords with this same problem. If this was an isolated incident them maybe not a defect but with the amount of cases this appears to be a manufacturer defect of the block. I am waiting for the diagnoses and already the tech is saying maybe an engine replacement. The Ford company should be recalling these engines and replacing them as they are diagnosed.

Coolant leaking into the cylinders, I have read many people filing complaints on this issue in the last year especially. Even the tech at Ford said this is becoming a problem. It seems that this needs to be under the recall category now to help people not go through the pain of whats not under warranty and what is and having to spend money on something that is clearly at this point a manufacturing error. This issue isnt something you notice it starts with a check engine light and will turn on and off.
