Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Ford Edge - part 2

Have water intrusion into engine which caused engine to overheat and started knocking as I was trying to get off hwy to safety from other hwy traffic. And Ford knows about this issue and will not do nothing until if fails. Well I failed on me and put me in a unsafe zone when it did and now its out of warranty and Ford wants to charge me thousands to repair thier flaw they know has issues and can put customers into danger areas when fails.

I just bought this vehicle with a broken powertrain, torque converter, and warped rotors. These cars are mechanics special that should only be $2,000. Since it's a 2020 it is being sold for $18,800. It can be repossessed for a crap shoot car. Before this I bought a 2016 Buick enclave with also a broken torque converter issues. The engineers in car industry have failed. I would rather buy an older pre 2015 mechanics special for $1,200-$2,400, not $12,000-$18,800 for a pos drivetrain and transmission. A recall needs to be mandated for all these cars. Stiffing the consumer is unethical. With how our government and economy has been, we have had enough with being stuck with inadequacies.

Additional flush and cleaning chemicals may be added to assist in cleaning system contamination. Fill system fluid(s) to proper capacity with new fluid. Fluid additives and/or conditioner may be added to system. Leak test vehicle system. Perform final road test where applicable. - mechanic report just dropped off at a Ford dealership in indiana to confirm this is the issue.

The coolant is getting consumed by the engine. I need to add coolant every so often and there is no visible leaks in the hoses. It cause the check engine light to come on, a rough idle at start, and a cylinder to misfire.

Engine started with rough idle after setting and misfired. White smoke from exhaust consistent with coolant intrusion.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the coolant temperature warning light illuminated. The contact stated that immediately after the failure, the vehicle failed to accelerate and sputtered abnormally. The vehicle was restarted and taken to a service center to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that coolant was leaking into the engine block, causing engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

My 2018 Ford Edge titanium (2. 0l ecoboost) is experiencing internal engine coolant intrusion - the defect described in Ford technical service bulletin 22-2229 (June 10, 2022), which covers 2015-2018 Ford Edge 2. 0l ecoboost vehicles for coolant leaking into the engine cylinders. The engine loses motive power without warning: it revs but the vehicle barely accelerates, including at road speed - a sudden loss-of-power hazard in traffic. Symptoms began approximately 09/08/2026. The check-engine light is illuminated with diagnostic codes p0300, p0302, p0303 (engine misfires, cylinders 2 and 3), p0316 (misfire on startup), p0217, p1285, p1299 (overheating - the computer has entered cylinder-head over-temperature protection mode), p0299 (turbo underboost), p0012 (cam timing), p0172 (rich condition), and p0420. This matches Ford's own bulletin identifying coolant intrusion into the cylinders, a condition the bulletin says may require complete engine (long-block) replacement. The selling dealer (jd byrider) was formally notified on 09/29/2026 and I have requested cooling-system pressure testing and cylinder inspection. Exact current mileage is unknown - the vehicle is at the dealership.

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.

We had rough idling for a couple days followed by excessive white smoke one morning upon starting the vehicle and the check engine light came on. We immediately noticed the coolant was low, so it got topped off and then we took it to the dealer. They diagnosed the engine coolant intrusion in cylinder 4. Had we not added coolant the engine could have seized and created an accident or caused a fire. We received an $8,200 estimate for installing a new long block. Ford is giving zero assistance on this because the vehicle is more than 7 years old (oddly, Ford started putting in a different design 2. 0l engine 7 years ago). This vehicle is in mint condition, only 65,000 miles and had all service done by the dealer more frequently than the service manual indicates.

I am currently dealing with the coolant intrusion into cylinder 2 of the 2. 0l ecoboost engine. In the beginning of xxx at about 125k miles, the check engine light came on. I was at a stop light (. 2 miles from my home) and I got a warning message telling me the coolant temp was high and engine power was reduced. When I got home, I saw that the coolant was low, but there has not been any leaks noticed in driveway, refilled and was fine for 2 weeks. During those 2 weeks, I was having a rough idle at start up, and white smoke coming from exhaust. Then on the way to work the engine was overheating. Pulled over and turned off on the side of a highway to let it cool. After 10 minutes, turned the car back on to continue to work (which was a mile away), also turned on the heat to pull from the engine, the air was cold until I started driving then it warmed. I am now having to fill the coolant every few days and having misfires while accelerating causing me to stall and then traffic approaching me having to slow to avoid hitting me. I purchased this vehicle used in xxx from a dealership in [xxx] and the carfax did not state any of these issues at the time of purchase. The only repair given is the TSB 19-2346, and no safety recall has been issued for this defect. This defect poses a safety risk as it can lead to sudden engine stalling, loss of power while driving, and potential engine fires due to overheating. There is a financial burden since this repair is costly and Ford will not help with the cost of this repair. Car warranties are denying claims because Ford as acknowledged this defect. And dealerships are still selling these used cars despite the issues and because it is not a recall, they are not held liable for these repairs or made to disclose the defect. This is a huge safety issue and financial burden. As I am now out of a vehicle that I just purchased a year ago. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The vehicle overheated one time and was taken in to be looked at immediately. We received confirmation that there was a coolant leak due to Ford's faulty design of the engine. The engine needs to be completely replaced and only has 57,000 miles on it.

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.

The engine failed in 2024, leaving me stalled on the side of a major highway. More recently, in August 2026, my vehicle began experiencing problems shifting into reverse. A warning message stating, “selected gear will engage at low speed,” would appear. I contacted my local Ford dealership, and they stated that the transmission fluid was in poor condition, although they were unable to reproduce the specific shifting issue I was experiencing at that time. On September 3, 2026, while driving to work, my vehicle began losing transmission pressure and was unable to accelerate while I was traveling on the main highway. I contacted my local Ford dealership again, and I was informed that the transmission pump was failing. The vehicle and transmission components are available for inspection upon request. My safety, my child's safety, and the safety of other drivers on the highway were put at risk. While traveling on a major highway, my vehicle suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. A complete loss of power or the vehicle stalling in traffic could have resulted in a serious accident, particularly with vehicles traveling behind me at highway speeds. Yes. My local Ford dealership has confirmed that the transmission pump is failing. The vehicle has been inspected/diagnosed by my local Ford dealership. It has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. Yes. The vehicle has experienced ongoing issues for approximately the past two years. I have repeatedly attempted to have the problems diagnosed and repaired. I was previously told that the issues were related to the turbo/engine boost system. In August 2026, the vehicle began having noticeable problems shifting into reverse, accompanied by the warning message “selected gear will engage at low speed. ” the dealership initially stated that the transmission fluid was bad but did not reproduce the specific issue I was experiencing. On September 3, 2026, the vehicle experienced a more serious failure while I was drivin.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, and it was determined that there was a coolant leak in cylinder #2. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was diagnosed with an obd2 scanner and a dtc for a misfire in cylinder #2 was retrieved. An appointment was scheduled with the dealer to inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 62,800.

99k miles on it, just got diagnosed with coolant intrusion and it needs an entire motor. My warranty company is refusing to pay for it due to manufacturer flaw and defect. So now I’m left paying a monthly car note on a car that’s sitting in my driveway. Single mom just lost her thought to be reliable transportation to take care of her family. Don’t have 10-11 grand to spend on it. Ford knows about this defect and isn’t doing anything about it.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. While driving approximately 25 - 35 mph, the engine was running rough, and the message that the engine was overheating was displayed. The contact turned off the vehicle and waited, but the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, and it was determined that there was a misfire in cylinder #3 caused by coolant intrusion. The contact was informed that the long block needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Coolant is leaking into the combustion chamber. Car can stall causing a major issue depending on speed and location. Yes, my mechanic has confirmed. Not inspected yet by manufacturer. Yes, check engine light has come on in the past and had the spark plugs replaced twice. This time they saw coolant in the combustion chamber.

This vehicle has under 100,000 miles on it and the engine light came on, the code at autozone and o'reilly's both read p0301 for bad misfire in coil 1. I replaced all 4 sparks plugs and ignition coils and the code never cleared, I started noticing while smoke when start up and suspected coolant issues. I had a diagnostician help me investigate and forums suggested coolant intrusion from poor engine block design can happen in cylinders 2 & 3, but after scoping the block, we found coolant leakage in cylinder 1. I called alm Ford marietta and my rep said they'd confirm my suspicions free of charge and confirmed the results. The only repair was to do a whole engine swap with a refurbished or new longblock costing $5k for parts and $6k for labor. I have an allowance of $3500 for vehicle repairs so I am devastated that I cannot even sell this vehicle with a bad engine. The Ford 2. 0 ecoboost engine forums suggest coolant intrusion is common and Ford should have fixed this problem between 2015-2019 bud did not and thousands of vehicles have this problem (fusion, focus, Edge, escape) but is Ford taking responsibility that the spiral coolant application is a bad design and costing people thousands upon thousands of dollars of repairs that shouldn't have happened in the first place. I mean, I have less than 100k on my Edge, why should I need a whole new engine, what is next, a new transmission for 7k next year? what happened to quality? we are a single vehicle family so we are relying on others mercy right now to get our kid to and from school and coordinating work schedules, but will Ford help clients out at all?.

Structural failure of the engine block. Confirmed the coolant leak into the cylinders, you are dealing a TSB 19-2346 engine block defect.

On August 31, the check engine light on my 2017 Ford Edge had a check engine light come on. I took the car into the original dealership that sold me the vehicle. The service department diagnosed the car with a coolant intrusion leak into the engine and would need a long block engine replacement. The car only has 31,000 miles on it and I was never made aware that this issue is longstanding with these vehicles with engines from 2015-2017. If I had been notified of this faulty manufacture issue, I would have taken the steps to rectify this issue before the problem arose.

Recently purchased the vehicle, the following morning after purchased, the check engine light came on and I had it hooked to a computer scanner for it showed a cylinder 3 misfire. We also visually notice that the coolant level in the reservoir was somewhat low after sitting for several hours, so we filled the coolant reservoir to the appropriate line shown on the tank, but just between the afternoon when it was purchased , and that next morning there was no coolant that had leaked underneath the vehicle . The dealer that I purchased it from had the spark plugs, the spark plug wires and the ignition coils replaced. When I picked up the vehicle after those were replaced, I drove it for about a total of 40 miles before the check engine light came back on and upon starting, the vehicle started kind of rough like it wasn't igniting completely. Over the next day and a half upon each start whether it be a cold start or not, the vehicle started in the same way where it felt as though it was not getting a good ignition or fire but it would still start up. I took the vehicle to a Ford dealership where the technicians connected their diagnostic scanner and also did a pressure test where it reported to have coolant intrusion and would require a new motor . As I could not afford to replace it, since I just purchased the vehicle, I took it home and did not try to drive it but by the next morning, less than 24 hours, upon trying to start it, the vehicle would not start at all. The warranty that the vehicle had from the used dealership I purchased from unfortunately has a $500 max payout for repairs. It never overheated the few times I drove it, it only showed a small amount of white smoke out of the exhaust upon starting, but the coolant level has not really going down since putting the coolant in it the morning after I purchased. It currently has a little over 104,000 miles, I've had less than a week, driven it maybe a total of 100 miles, I don't have over $9,000 for a motor.

Coolant intrusion on the engine block a manufacturers problem which now leaked into the engine block and the vehicle has 50,618 miles and needs a total engine replacement. This is a 2018 and it has internal engine failure, there is a lawsuit but I need my car now to get to and from work.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the check engine warning illuminated and dtc: pc03 was displayed. The contact pulled over to the emergency lane on the highway, and while attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to operate as intended. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced and that there was coolant leaking into cylinder #1. The engine was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 131,773.

Component-engine / propulsion system symptoms-progressive coolant loss without external leaks, rough starting, engine shaking, white exhaust smoke, and illuminated check engine light with cylinder misfire codes. Description of incident- my 2016 Ford Edge equipped with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine is experiencing internal engine coolant intrusion into the combustion cylinders, perfectly matching the design defect identified in Ford technical service bulletin (TSB) 19-2346. The vehicle exhibits persistent coolant loss alongside severe engine misfires. This defect poses an immediate safety hazard, as the fluid intrusion causes rough idling, stalling, and a sudden, hazardous loss of motor power while operating at driving speeds. This complaint is being filed in direct relation to the active NHTSA defect petition dp26008 investigating 2015–2018 Ford Edge vehicles for engine failures caused by this specific coolant intrusion flaw.

Vehicle suffered internal engine failure due to the known 2. 0l ecoboost manufacturing flaw where coolant bleeds into the cylinders. Experienced severe engine misfires, rough idling, and sudden risk of stalling in traffic. Ford dealership diagnosed the vehicle as needing a complete engine block replacement at a cost of $14,000. Because no safety recall or financial assistance has been offered by Ford despite an active NHTSA evaluation on this exact defect, I have been forced to temporarily use a chemical sealant block sealer (k-seal) to keep the vehicle operable.

I am reporting a loss-of-coolant and rough-running condition consistent with coolant intrusion into the cylinders, the defect described in Ford tsbs 19-2208, 19-2346, 22-2133, and 22-2229, and the subject of NHTSA defect petition dp26008. The engine has unexplained coolant loss with no visible external leak. It also has a rough start. A stored diagnostic code was present; I believe it was p0302, signalling a misfire in cylinder 2 and p0316, signaling misfire detected on start up. No crash, fire, or injury. I am reporting before a total loss of power because these failures are described as occurring while driving. In August, I brought the vehicle into my local Ford dealer for an oil change, described the coolant loss, rough start, an almost overheating situation, and the known 2. 0l ecoboost coolant-intrusion defect, and asked them to perform the cooling-system pressure test and spark-plug inspection in Ford’s tsbs. They refused the test, stating it sounded like a car they saw the week before. They also refused to note on the repair order that they had refused it. No oasis campaign printout was given to me. Ford has acknowledged this failure mode in service bulletins. The specified repair is a long-block replacement. There is no Edge 2. 0l customer-satisfaction program equivalent to the 1. 5l short-block program. I want the defect investigated as a safety defect because coolant intrusion can cause misfire, overheating, and loss of motive power, all of which can be safety issues if they happen on the road in traffic.

The 2. 0l ecoboost engine is indicating an error code of p0302 after an engine service light. This code is for a cylinder 2 misfire. The vehicle reserve coolant tank is showing low and in need of coolant after a recent oil/fluid service. This likely is the beginning of the known issue of coolant intrusion into this 2017 2. 0l ecoboost engine. This results in the need to replace the longblock of this vehicle. The design is a known defect and the vehicle has less than 55000 miles. The vehicle is scheduled for repairs on September 8, 2026. Due to engine failure this vehicle could cause a road hazard, accident, or roadside response.

My 2016 Ford has ecoboost coolant intrusion defect, the system failed to hold pressure, dropping significantly below operational thresholds. A subsequent borescope inspection confirmed that coolant is actively leaking past the block sealing surface and directly flooding the engine cylinders. The service facility has confirmed that because the structural engine block itself is defective, a simple head gasket replacement is mathematically unviable. The only permanent, safe solution is a complete engine long block replacement. . I contacted Ford and was told they are aware of this but cannot fix the issue or assist in fixing the problem.

At approximately 110,000 miles, my 2016 Ford Edge titanium with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine developed a rough-start/rough-running condition. The vehicle was diagnosed with coolant entering cylinder #2. I had not noticed an obvious coolant-loss problem before the condition was diagnosed. Ford TSB 19-2346, dated December 19, 2019, addresses coolant intrusion into the cylinders on 2015–2018 Ford Edge vehicles equipped with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine. The bulletin describes possible rough running, white exhaust smoke and/or low coolant, and provides for long-block replacement when the specified conditions are present. I am concerned that this condition could result in engine misfire, loss of engine power, or engine failure while driving, creating a safety risk. My vehicle has an extensive documented service history with the original selling dealer, including repeated multi-point inspections and maintenance. The vehicle has now experienced the coolant-intrusion condition addressed by Ford TSB 19-2346. I understand that NHTSA has opened defect petition dp26008 concerning alleged coolant intrusion and loss of motive power involving 2015–2018 Ford Edge vehicles equipped with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine. I request that NHTSA consider my complaint and vehicle history as part of its evaluation of dp26008 and investigate whether this condition represents a safety-related defect. “my vehicle was originally purchased from dave sinclair Ford in st. Louis county, missouri, and has an extensive documented service history with that dealership, including repeated multi-point inspections and maintenance. ”.

Engine light came on, shuttering, white smoke. Had spark plugs replaced-didn’t help. Googled to see what might be wrong and found the coolant leak issue. Took it to a private garage to have a coolant pressure test, it failed, did a bore scope and showed significant damage to #2 cylinder. Took it to a Ford dealership to file for a goodwill assist and was turned down because “the car is too old and too many miles”. I am a veteran, on a fixed income, and cannot afford to pay for a new motor. I bought this car for myself on my 78th birthday, trading in my 2006 f-150, with almost 200,000 miles, for my dream car. Now I’ve spent $11,500 and have nothing.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the “service engine” warning light illuminated. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that there was coolant leaking into the cylinders and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000.
