Experienced car can be rough on start. Check engine light came on in the process. I fear the reported possible premature head gasket failure perhaps cracks between the cylinders. Coolant might be migrating into the combustion chambers, leading to misfiring, corrosion, and total engine failure.

My vehicle experienced a serious engine failure after exhibiting symptoms that included loss of coolant, sputtering/rough running, a check-engine light, loss of power, and the vehicle shutting down. I have since been advised that the engine has failed and requires significant repair or replacement.

I read on my news feed today about issues with a 2017 Ford Edge that there are problems with coolant leaking into the combustion chamber and that we should report this to the NHTSA. We just traded in our 2017 Edge that had this problem. In August of 26 I had a check engine light come on and the engine started running very rough, I had o'reilly's hook up the diagnostic tool and it showed it needed a tune up.

The warning light repeatedly turns on and off, but the problem continues. On 96000, the Ford dealership diagnosed internal coolant intrusion into the engine/cylinder area and advised that the vehicle requires major engine repair or replacement estimated at approximately $10,000. This defect can cause continued misfires, reduced engine performance, overheating, stalling, or sudden loss of power while driving. I am concerned that the engine could fail or lose power in traffic without adequate warning. This appears to be a premature internal engine failure rather than normal maintenance. Ford declined my request for financial or goodwill assistance even though coolant intrusion is a documented problem affecting similar Ford ecoboost engines. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this defect and determine whether a safety recall is necessary.

We bought a used car from carvana and had a check engine light come on in the first month for p0304- cylinder 4 misfire. We got all 4 spark plugs and ignition coils replaced and drove 500 miles to north carolina the next month and again the check engine light came on for p0304. We are being told there is a known safety issue on this model for coolant intruding into the engine that causes this recurrent code. Now we are currently stranded in another state without a working vehicle and are looking at potentially needing a full engine block replacement for upwards of $10,000. If this is a known issue by Ford and they are even in class action lawsuits about it, why is it not a safety recall???? the coolant is known to leak into the cylinders and engine, which can cause the engine to seize and the only solution is a full replacement. The manufacturer should be responsible for replacing these especially because they are aware that this is a common issue.

Yes, cracked cylinder wall. Coolant into engine. Known problem -the 2018 Ford Edge with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine is known for a critical design defect where coolant leaks into the cylinders due to a cracked cylinder wall or head gasket failure. This typically requires a full short-block or long-block engine replacement,.

The vehicle had approximately 113,000 miles on the odometer when the initial engine problems began. It began intermittently shaking violently for several seconds immediately after startup. This occurred periodically for approximately one week. During this time, the check engine warning lamp illuminated, and diagnostic trouble codes p0300, p0302, and p0304 were recorded, indicating multiple-cylinder misfires. At that time, the issue was believed to be related to the spark plugs and/or ignition coil packs, and repairs were planned for the following weekend. Approximately four days later, before those planned repairs were completed, the vehicle began making a noticeable water-running or sloshing sound from behind the dashboard. The sound would continue for approximately 5–10 minutes after startup, even when the vehicle had not yet been driven and the radio, heat, and air conditioning were turned off. While driving, the sloshing sound would return whenever the vehicle stopped and accelerated again, including at stoplights. The coolant level was then checked and found to be below the minimum level, and additional coolant was added. Despite adding coolant, the level again dropped below the minimum after only a short drive to pick up my children from a sports activity. No visible coolant leak was observed underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was subsequently taken to a mechanic for inspection. The cylinder head was removed and taken to a local parts store for additional inspection. A new head gasket was installed, and the vehicle was reassembled. Since the head gasket repair, the vehicle has been driven approximately 1,200 additional miles. Approximately two weeks after the repair, the vehicle again began experiencing a rough startup similar to the original symptoms. I am concerned that the underlying problem remains unresolved and that the repeated coolant loss, misfires, and severe shaking at startup could result in engine failure or loss of reliable operation.

I lost 2 hours of work when I first brought it in to be diagnosed. It took 2 weeks for my vehicle to be repaired. In the entire month of July, all I did was cry and worry about how I was going to pay this money. I called Ford customer service; they denied me because my vehicle was 8 years old, and not 7 years.

There should be a recall on the sunvisors. Because it is a safety issue, because when the sun is in your face and you can't see driving it can very well cause an accident or getting a ticket for not being able to see your speed that you're going, because you're so far up trying to get the sun out of your face. You can't see any of the controls or your dashboard. . That is a safety hazard. My driver's side one is broken. I can't use it at all and I'm not paying $200 to get it fixed. That's insane on top of that. My passenger side is one is starting to break as well. Also, my car is very sluggish. When I'm driving, it is sluggish back and forth like it doesn't get good acceleration. There should be a recall for that. As well. I've also noticed when I'm stopped at a light, and I slowly let off the brake the car start to jump.

Was to be paid off in September and give our family some financial relief ,but the very end of July the transmission went in this car is what Ford told me. They forgot to mention that the motor was about to go as well. We paid 60,000 in payments. To get screwed over by my local Ford! we had just left canada wonderland on the 400 series in canada. My car completely died. We were able to coast to side of the road. Tried to start it but it would only go a tiny bit not enough to get us home so there we are stranded on the side of the highway, because Ford didn't want to admit that the Edge was a complete flop. We bought this brand new. It's a catastrophic failure they know this. Toyota offered us 800. 00 ?? ??. I did sell it privately and was told that the motor was gone in it as well. Good job Ford get me to be in for each problem.
