The torque converter is bad and is sputtering, jerking, not shifting, hard shifts, this is not safe. This is a danger to me and others when the car is jerking and not shifting correctly, safety hazard! Ford dealer confirmed the torque converter is bad. Hundreds, if not thousands of others complaining about their Ford Edge having the same issue. No warning or other problems, or symptoms, it just started jerking and sputtering.

Check engine light came on intermittantly and would turn off. When it stayed on I took it into the dealer who diagnosed leak of coolant into number 3 cylinder, requiring a new engine. This happened at just above 65,000 miles. Car is starting and driving rough, some erratic acceleration and is worse every day.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated, prompting him to discontinue driving the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that coolant intrusion into various cylinders had resulted in damage to the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to customer satisfaction program 21n12. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 86,000.

Without warning or prior issues, while driving the car on a busy street the check engine light came on, the car shook and locked up/stopped suddenly. I was almost rear ended. The car would not restart. A known TSB is in place for this car and the head gasket design flaw allows coolant into the engine causing it to seize on even low mileage cars (under 46,000 miles). 19 year old female left stranded in highway after a near collision. Ford needs to be forced to recall these engines and fix this design flaw!.

My 2017 Ford Edge, 74,000 miles 2. 0 eco boost had a code after hesitating, running rough and having white smoke from exhaust. The check engine light came on and the code was po302. We replaced the coil pack and the light continued. Brought it to local dealership and they confirmed TSB-22-2229 and needed long block for 12,000$. After much research, for some reason other eco boost cars have had extended warranties but of course not this model. Is this real life? the safety concerns and the cost are outrageous to say the least.

Bought this car, 100,000 miles on it, and 2 days after my check engine light comes on and coil 2 is misfiring, I get new coils and plugs, and 3 hours later it starts it again, I end up taking it to my local Ford dealership and they discovered I need a new engine due to a crack in my long block and coolant getting in coil 2. . . I just brought a car that needs 8000 dollars of work done. I wish I knew what to do. This has been awful. Sometimes it decides to misfire at red lights or even driving down the road, Ford should fix this issue.

The problem is the torque converter. It causes a hesitation when accelerating from being stopped, usually around 30-43 mph is when the car acts like it isn't going to speed up and slows down instead of speeding up. I had the torque converter replaced once in sept. 2024. My car has 82,213 miles. I took my car in today 8/5/25 and was confirmed that the torque converter need to be replaced again. The Ford service department told me that they have had 8 - 10 Ford Edges come in in the last 2 weeks with the same problem. I have 2 family members that have Ford Edges that is having the same issues.

Found trouble code po304 in the computers history indicates that the misfire is not coming from the spark plug or ignition coil. Checked the fuel injector and no problem was found. Removed cylinder#4=spark plug and found a small amount of evidence that coolant is entering the cylinder. There is a TSB for engine blocks cracking and causing the problem. This was found by the auto service I use. Called dealership and was told this does happen. A new engine would have to installed if my engine light comes back on. They would have put in the same type of engine! really? wouldn’t this happen again with a new engine? I do not know how to download the service slip.

Car has a coolant leak and has been diagnosed as having coolant intrusion. I was told that there is a recall but it doesn’t include my VIN.

July 23, 2025 the engine light came on. Called Ford dealer and made appt for July 24 to be checked out. Coolant getting in #2 cylinder, recommended long block replacement for $9859. 85. Vehicle has only 83450 miles on it and a known issue by Ford. Called Ford and we can not get any help with replacement.

The engine needs to be replaced due to coolant intrusion. This issue had no initial warning, and the car suddenly had issues accelerating and when I looked under the hood at home was low on coolant. I refilled it. Next morning an engine light came on for misfire in cylinder #3. I had an engine coil and the spark plugs replaced and it seemed fine for about a week before everything resumed happening again. Was then told the head gasket. My mechanic said to take it to Ford for coolant intrusion & that this was a known issue with their engines. I feel this should be a recall, this is not safe. Ford has today confirmed I need a new long block due to coolant intrusion. Not only is this issue unsafe, but it’s very costly to fix. I’ve already spent $400 on this, and now I’m going to have to spend several thousand on a new engine for a car I’ve only owned for 20k miles.

2018 Ford Edge, 79k miles. Check engine light came on and I immediately had it checked out. It was misfiring, spark plugs were replaced to attempt to fix the issue. Light came back on a few weeks later, it was discovered that coolant was leaking into cylinder 3 and causing the misfire. Ford recommends that the engine be replaced. This appears to be an issue that Ford is very aware of and many Ford Edges are affected, yet there is not a recall. This defect may lead to overheating and can result in the cylinder head cracking, total engine failure, and/or engine fires. This puts me and other drivers at significant risk and I am very displeased with Ford.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving on a main road at 45 mph when the vehicle experienced a reduction in automotive power, soon after the vehicle began to jerk and white smoke began to emit from the rear end of the vehicle, no warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was advised that the engine was faulty as a result of coolant intrusion. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 33,867.

On July 20,2025, at about 4:30pm to 5:30pm, I drove less than two blocks from home when the engine light and the overterature light came on suddenly. Simultaneously, the vehicle began to shake. I was about two to three blocks from an auto zone parts supply store. I drove there slowly. Once at the location, I asked for assistance in determining what caused the issue with my car. The representative used a device that indicated that check engine failed, and emission ready status was no. I was advised to purchase coolant for my model vehicle. Once purchased, the representative tried to fill the reservoir. However, the reservoir indicated that it was full after using less than half of what was in the gallon bottle. We waited a while to determine if the level would decrease. While at the store, the level remained constant at the full level. He recommended that I start the engine. The car no longer shook and the indicators did not come back on until I drove about a mile away. I was near another auto zone store, nearly a mile from my house. The representative there was able to pour the remainder of the coolant into the reservoir. When asked, I was told that I should contact a mechanic regarding the issue. I asked if it would be safe to drive the car home to make arrangements to have the car towed, as where we (myself and two young grandchildren) were in a location that did not seem safe to wait very long. I drove slowly to my house, using emergency blinkers. I was able to park the car in the driveway until I could arrange to have the car towed to a recommended repair shop. I have an extended warranty from an auto warranty company. The car was towed to aamco less than 10 miles away. So far, all they have been able to tell me is that the oil is clean, but the level is very low. I do not know the cause, as I have the oil changed, and other lubricant and liquids levels checked at least every 7. 5k miles. I also check my indicators on a regular basis, whenever I drive.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the engine light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was related to technical service bulletin: 19-2208.

The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.

Check engine light came on and car stalled. The fault was a misfire in cylinder 2 and 3. When I checked vehicle out coolant was low and coolant leaked into cylinder. Checked online and saw thousands of complaints for the same thing.

Loud slashing noises behind the dashboard and check engine light stating misfirecylinder two. Entire engine had to be replaced because of warping and coolant enter intrusion into cylinder two. This has been a known problem for years with Ford on this particular engine and no recall. Ford will not stand behind their engine. The repair shop that we had the new engine replaced has done three Ford engine replacements in the last five months due to the same issue.

Computer error p0304 - misfiring in cylinder 4. Diagnosed with a coolant leak into the cylinder. Potential safety issues: loss of power: a misfire can cause sudden power loss, particularly during acceleration or at high speeds, increasing the risk of accidents, especially in traffic or on highways. Engine stalling: if the misfire worsens, the engine may stall, leaving you unable to control the vehicle, which is dangerous in busy areas or intersections. Overheating risk: coolant intrusion into cylinder 4 (as noted in TSB 22-2229) can lead to overheating if the cooling system is compromised, potentially causing engine failure or fire hazards. Catalytic converter damage: persistent misfires can overheat and damage the catalytic converter, potentially leading to a fire risk under the vehicle. Beyond this, it is my 17 year old daughter driving this car and she could be stranded some place unsafe due to not starting or in the middle of traffic while driving. It has been inspected by a mechanic to confirm the leak. Ford's issuing of a TSB on this issue (TSB 22-2229) - calls for a new engine. Ford knows they have made faulty engines in these cars and refuses to help cover the cost of replacement.

2017 eco boost engine class action lawsuit ,coolant got into the engine.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light was illuminated.

I own a 2018 Ford Edge with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine. My engine recently failed and was diagnosed by a Ford dealership as suffering from coolant intrusion into the cylinders. This has resulted in engine misfires, overheating, coolant loss, and eventually a non-functional engine. This appears to be a widespread and well-documented issue across multiple Ford models and years, due to a design flaw in the engine block or head gasket area that allows coolant to enter the combustion chamber. I was not notified of any recall or service bulletin, yet this issue has caused major financial and safety concerns. There is currently a class-action lawsuit related to this defect, and Ford has not issued any official remedy despite knowing of the issue for years. I am submitting this report in hopes that NHTSA will investigate this defect and urge Ford to issue a recall or remedy before more consumers suffer unexpected engine failure.

I am filing this report due to a serious and costly engine failure in my 2017 Ford Edge titanium with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine. My vehicle has always been properly maintained and I recently experienced pre-mature engine issues at only 93,000 miles. The issue began with rough starts, hovering rpms, and eventually led to a complete engine failure. My mechanic diagnosed the problem as coolant intrusion into the engine, which I have since learned is a known issue covered by Ford’s technical service bulletin TSB 19-2208. It appears most people begin experiencing this issue at 50,000-90,000 miles. The cost to replace the engine is between $8,000 and $9,000, and my vehicle is no longer under warranty. I am still paying off this car, which makes this financially devastating — and this failure occurred well before the end of a reasonable engine lifespan. I’m concerned this issue poses a safety risk, as coolant loss and engine failure could happen suddenly while driving. Ford has not issued a recall or formal repair program, despite hundreds (if not thousands) of similar complaints online. I respectfully urge the NHTSA to investigate the 2015–2018 Ford Edge with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine for a potential recall or safety action related to premature engine failure due to internal coolant leaks.
