I purchased a new Ford Edge directly from dealership in 2016. I have maintained the vehicle extremely well. Around 95,000 my check engine light came on for a few days then went off for a week or so. When it came back on again, around 98,000 I called to make an appointment. They couldn't get me in for about a week. When I took the vehicle in it had 101,000. They told me I have a cylinder head coolant intrusion because of a small crack. They recommend a long block engine repair for $8000. They said this is a known problem with the Ford ecoboost engines. I see there's 100's of complaints online for the same issue. Contacted Ford and they said there's nothing they can do to help. A car that's 3 1/2 years old should not need a new engine. This is a known Ford engine defect that they are not standing behind.

9 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2017 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 10/02/2020

2017 Ford Edge with the 2. 0l engine failed at 73,143 miles due to coolant in the cylinders. Original code was a p0301 for miss in cylinder number one. Replaced plugs and coils with oe from dealer and problem persisted. Check engine light on and engine vibration occurred while running at idle. There was no smoke ever from the exhaust. Took the vehicle to the Ford dealer and they noted low coolant even though there was never an overheat issue, check engine light or code stored. Dealer referenced TSB 19-2346 and said engine would have to be replaced and since there was no recall Ford would assume zero cost. Still owing money on the car there was no other option other than replace the engine at a cost of $7000. Given what appears to be the frequency of this specific failure coupled with the wide range of miles when it occurs Ford should step up and at least partner with owners to help with the cost of engine replacement. This issue could cause the vehicle to stall which could lead to an accident or fatality depending upon when the engine stalled or went into limp mode.

This should be a recall, not a TSB, as I have found multiple complaints and they all have contacted Ford with the same results, so Ford is well aware of this issue, complaints go back as far as 2015 and all are around the 65k to 70k mile mark.

30 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 03/10/2018

My engine turned off while I was driving. I was slowing to a stop from 55mph to approx. 20mph to go straight at a red light. The light turned green before I came to a stop. When I pressed the gas to accelerate the engine turned off and all systems in the car did as well including power steering. I had no control of the car as it slowed to almost a stop in the middle of the intersection on a green light. I was luckily to able to coast at approx. 5pmh to the end of the intersection before it completely stopped and the car behind me didn't hit me, they went around. I had to get help pushing it to the side of the road after that to avoid an accident since it stopped in the road. When the engine failed the dash lit up with a picture of the engine and said to check power to engine. There was no warning beforehand. I do all my oil changes and regular maintenance. There was no check engine light or any other indicator that something would have been wrong. After this incident and getting the car home it now has a check engine light and won't run correctly. We changed the battery due to the wording about engine power and that didn't help. What I am most concerned and upset about is after this happened we looked the problem up online and it is has happened to hundreds of other people. If any other problems happened that many times that caused injuries this would be a recall and corrected immediately. But because out of luck I was on a rural 1 stop light road and no cars hit me as my vehicle completely failed on me, it isn't. I've received no notices and bought it used from a dealer. I commute to work every day and I am so thankful this wasn't on a work day on the freeway where it would have caused me to completely stop. Or dropping off my kids to school. I am honestly scared to get it 'fixed' and it happen again with no warning. Or put my kids in a car that puts us in danger.

While driving, the check engine light illuminates along with a sudden loss of power indicating "limp" mode has been entered.

35 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2013 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 07/16/2017

The brakes have failed on me 3 times now, the dealership claims the brake booster was bad and replaced it the first time, the second time claims it was a bad piston inside the break booster. The brakes failed once when a car pulled out in front of me and I had to slam on the brakes, the second time was driving normally and the third today after the front tires lost traction in wet grass. This makes it to were you have to push the peddle all the way to the floor and hope the car comes to a stop. The check engine light comes on every time you accelerate to hard (like entering an interstate) then will go away after a few days. The code that pops up for it is turbo/super charger under boost. This makes the car really sluggish and hard to get up to speed.
