1 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2017 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 08/17/2020

My service engine light came on a few weeks ago. Reading cylinder 2 misfiring. Replace plugs and ignition coils cost me approx $300. Still same error. Engine started running rougher and white smoke started coming from exhaust. Noticed coolant level was low which was out of the norm. I checked oil and it was a milkly color which means coolant is in oil. Going to take to a shop this week to determine issue/issues going on. It is a 2017 Ford Edge with only 76,000 miles.

2 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2017 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 08/01/2020

My service engine light came on and off. Reading cylinder 2 misfiring. Replace plugs and ignition coils received same error. Engine started running rougher and white smoke started coming from exhaust. Vehicle overheated in the middle if the freeway with my children inside. I filled the coolant and next day it was empty again. Engine light came on again. I took it to the dealership for diagnostic. Coolant leaking into cylinder 2. Engine has to be replaced. Happened before 60,000 miles but because I took it after 60,000 miles warranty was out.

3 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2018 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 03/09/2020

Service engine light came on and there was a coolant leak. No light warning that coolant was low ever came on for the vehicle, the car turned the motor off while driving down the interstate. Ford dealership reports that there is a technical service bulletin for this complaint that recommends the engine be replaced. The vehicle has less than 65,000 miles and should not need such extensive repairs as an entire engine replacement. If there is a technical service bulletin for this problem, then it appears that this problem is known by Ford and they are not addressing it properly, because the vehicle is only 3,000 miles past the powertrain warranty. This is not a safety issue or a recall and it should be.

4 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 03/11/2016

When driving, the wrench icon came on and the car lost all acceleration. Power was lost and the gas pedal would not work at all! there was no limp mode, no acceleration at a reduced speed. This was/is extremely dangerous! it happened to me 7 times within a couple of months. I was fortunate to be driving in a suburban community where I could pull over to the shoulder. When I turned the car off and restarted it, it worked fine. The Ford dealer could not find a problem because there was no code when they checked. I just took it in again because the service engine light also came on, and they have said it is the throttle body.

5 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 07/10/2013

On three different occasions my Ford Edge lost power to acceleration and stalled out. The first time I was pulling out of a parking space. The car went limp and a wrench warning appeared. When I checked the information system it had the 'no key detected' warning. I restarted and car seemed fine. Two days later I was pulling onto a busy street and the same thing occurred only this time no warning lights appeared and there were no warnings in the information setting. On the same day, while traveling 60 mph on the interstate the car did the same thing. This time it was in heavy traffic and there was not a shoulder available to pull over. I had to turn on hazard lights and hope the momentum of the car would allow me to get to a safe stopping place. Unfortunately it did not and I had to stop in the middle of the interstate, put the car in park and restart. I was lucky I wasn't rearended. It did restart but this time the service engine soon light came on and remained on. I called roadside assistance and had the car taken to a dealership. They have determined it to be the throttle body. Part is on back order and no idea when car will be fixed. After the third incident I began researching and have learned that this is an ongoing problem. Ford needs to do something about this as someone is going to be seriously hurt or killed. They are aware of the issue and have even replaced the manufacturer who provided the throttle body part due to numerous problems. Ford needs to issue a recall immediately if not, at the very least owners of these vehicles need to be informed of the issue and if they experience similar problems should be told to immediately contact their dealer. I have reported the issue to Ford and they have opened a case. I recommend that all who have had problems do the same. The more complaints, the harder it is to ignore!.
