The temperature gauge suddenly went from normal to high. I noticed it and was able to immediately turn the car off. No alarms or alerts went off on the car at all. When we looked under the hood of the car we noticed that the antifreeze was leaking. My husband added more to it and we left the car there until we could figure out which mechanic would be able to repair the water pump. The local mechanics we spoke to were not comfortable doing this repair due to the amount of labor required for this vehicle. We had the Ford Edge towed to the Ford dealership. The water pump ended up leaking into the engine which the dealership said was catastrophic. If I had been on the road, instead of in the parking lot, it could have seized the engine. It happened instantaneously and without any warnings or alarms. The Ford technicians said it may have been leaking into the engine for several days without warning. This is a serious and dangerous issue as well as a costly one. A water pump should be a simple repair or problem, however the way that it happened caused engine failure. It now requires an entire engine replacement. The car no longer functions or operates in any capacity. I was stationary in a parking lot so I was fortunate. I had just pulled into the parking space and was there about one minute - literally. The repair fees for the water pump were priced at $3,000. The repair fees for the used engine replacement are $4,000-5,000. This is a poor vehicle design and a safety concern for Ford.

The Ford 3,5l duratec engine water pump caused coolant to leak into the engine and is currently breaking down my motor. As coolant & engine oil don't mix, so I have to replace it. Will cost me more than the SUV itself, so going to junk it and beware anybody with any Ford Edge with that 3. 5l duratec engine with the internal water pump. It will fail and by time you notice it, it's too late. Cause my SUV to stall & shut off numerous times because the sensor are off because of the coolant leaking inside the motor.

My check engine light read �crank case pressure sensor� and while I was driving the �add coolant� light came on and before I got to the next town, the warning light came on notifying me that the engine was going to switch into the engine saving mode being that it needed more coolant emergently. I used nearly a gallon of coolant the next couple of days and brought the vehicle to a Ford dealership" for diagnosing and servicing. They said I had a cracked block due to the fact that the water pump is located inside the engine instead of outside of the engine on these vehicles which has been raising havoc in a lot of these engines because it doesn't make the proper seal causing a leak to occur and the material they use for their water pump is very thin and often times causes a leak from the coolant that goes directly into the engine which it did in my situation and cause the engine to crack. If I had been driving down the road when this would've happened it would've been detrimental to myself, my passengers and other people on the road at that time!.

1) 91k on motor, the internal water pump failed causing motor to fail and must be replaced. The car was in motion and coasted to shoulder with no power steering or brakes. 2) door ajar light remains on, and had to replace switch at 50k because the battery would drain.

Driving home from work in my 2010 Ford Edge and turning onto my street the vehicle shuts down, barely make the corner clipping the opposite curb slightly, look down and the temperature gage is buried in hot. No warning lights just instant shutdown. Open the hood and see water dripping from the passenger side of the motor but don't see a water pump, find out later it is internal and caused a catastrophic failure, vehicle needs new motor for $7,950. 00 -.

Our water pump on our 2008 Ford Edge limited, suffered a breakdown which allowed water to enter the engine internally. The water mixed with the oil inside the engine causing a complete engine failure. We were informed it would cost $7,800. 00 to install a new Ford engine. At the time of engine failure the odometer showed 105,000 miles. The car was being driven in town at a speed of 35 miles per hour in the month of August, 2019. I noticed the air conditioning was blowing hot air so I glanced at the dashboard to see the engine temperature gauge registering h (hot). At no time did the "check engine" light come on to alert me of an engine problem. I had the Edge towed to a garage where we were shown a bill for $7,800 to replace the entire engine due to the water pump bursting and leaking water into the engine which mixed with oil in the engine. We believe this engine failure was the direct result of the location of the water pump which was "internally" in the engine.

While driving late at night the temp gauge went on to hot/ car stalled out on a main street I let it cooled off and drove home. Had car towed to Ford auto nation next day. I was told that the water pump and engine needed to be replaced, cost would be $7,259. 00. My car has less than seventy six thousand miles on it.

Water pump broke while on highway. There were no signs of failure leading up to it. Car gave a warning of low oil pressure, then maybe 20 seconds later the engine coolant over temperature warning comes on. Car stopped accelerating at this point, got to shoulder of highway and at this point, power steering and brakes were out. Engine was smoking. Had it towed back to dealership 89 miles away to learn the water pump broke causing catastrophic engine failure and damage. Estimate to rebuild engine was $ 7352. 00 plus tax. There was no warning or possible way to check the water pump before hand. I purchased the car in 2011 and had it paid off a couple years ago. Now all equity in the car is completely gone as the car was only worth 6-8k (according to truecar) and it would cost more to fix it than to purchase a new one. A engine swap was estimated at around $4,000 with labor included as well. After this happened I find out I'm not the only one this is happening to, and that it's a major issue that Ford has apparently tried to keep quiet. I hope this is an additional piece of ammunition to use in the case against Ford.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. While operating the vehicle and making a turn, the vehicle shut down. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the water pump failed and damaged the bearings, which blew out the motor. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Internal water pump exploded inside, causing engine to lock and other damages in the engine. Vehicle was in garage for simple tune up. Then during checkin, the engine stopped. Vehicle could not restart.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. While driving various speeds ,the vehicle overheated and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact stated that anti-freeze was added to the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the water pump was leaking. The contact called sheehy Ford of marlow heights (5000 auth rd, camp springs, MD 20746, (301) 298-0793) and was informed that the water pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 100,000.

Tl the contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. While driving 75 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the water pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 120,000.

While driving down the highway, my heater started blowing cold air and within 5-10 minutes my gas pedal would no longer accelerate. 1-2 minutes after my gas pedal would no longer accelerate, my engine light came on. Thankfully this happened as I was approaching an exit and I was able to exit the highway before my car overheated and completely shut off. My car overheated 1-2 minutes after my engine light came on. There were no signs of any problems on my car before this all happened. It was very sudden. I was about 1. 5 hours away from home and had to have my car towed. A mechanic looked at it and said the coolant is completely draining out. They use an entire gallon of coolant and it poured out of my car immediately, in under a minute. As of right now, I have to replace the water pump on my car. However, in order to replace the water pump, the mechanic said they have to completely remove my front engine in order to access the water pump. This will call for at least 12 hours of labor, raising cost of what should have been around $200 for a new water pump to between $1700-$2100. If the mechanics find that the coolant has indeed mixed with my engine oil and ruined my engine, then I will have to completely replace my engine, raising the cost further to $7k+. According to kelley blue book, if I end up having to replace the engine, this will cost about 2-3 times what my car is worth.

The water pump is located inside the engine failed without warning, it circulated anti-freeze through the engine distroying it. This happened within the span of 5 minutes with no symptoms, other than a loss of all engine power at hiway speed. No warning or engine lights came on. Frankly other than the loss of engine power there were no indications the engine had failed. There was a terrible noise as I found my way to a safe spot to stop the car and it was only during this time that the temprature in the engine started to rise. I believe this is the most basic kind of irresponsibility where as Ford has designed a vehicle with a know defect and failed to notify its unsuspecting owners. It is also my belief that Ford should be resposible for pay 100% of any and all repairs to make an owner whole. At this point I have no pictures, other than an engine that looks fully intact, with an oil dipstick that is a milky desert sand color.

Driving to work I noticed the temperature gauge got all the way up and I pulled over, since I was driving on the I-41 northbound highway, I decided to get off the highway since I was pretty close to the exit. I called my husband for assistance and right after he dropped me off at work, he checked the SUV and noticed the coolant reservoir was very low. We took it to the mechanic and after the inspection his diagnostic was a �water pump failure � since the water pump is located �inside � the engine itself, it will be a �very expensive fix� so the mechanic recommended to report it since it may be fomoco's faulty. I completely agreed with hem, because the fact they installed the water pump inside the engine, doesn't make any sense, because just a inexpensive pump affected the whole engine and to repair it, will cost more than the SUV itself. This happened on January 28th 2019, around 1:30. My husband and I are hoping there is a �recall � regarding this matter.

Water pump went out causing car to overheat. Over view of vehicle determined that when the pump went out it mixed the antifreeze and oil inside the engine. Instead of just replacing the water pump now I need a whole new engine.

The water pump on this vehicle is located in a position that requires a full and expensive removal of the engine to even check on it. Manual has no water pump maintenance schedule. The water pump has failed internally and dumps coolant into the engine and oil pan. There is no way to know this is coming or has happened until your engine overheats. By that point the coolant has already run through my engine and caused irreversible damage that requires a complete engine replacement. Ford is and has been aware of this issue and refuses to do anything.

On Wednesday, January 9, 2019, my 2013 Ford Edge reported an "overheated coolant" message and within 2 seconds the engine light appeared, the car immediately lost the ability to accelerate and began decelerating while driving at 45 mph on a busy road during night time rush hour traffic. This endangered my safety and the safety of other motorists that had to quickly avoid hitting my car. I had the car towed to apple Ford dealership in columbia MD and the technician informed me the internal water pump had failed that directly impacted the car performance issues and the grinding noise. To fix the water pump, he stated it would take 17 labor hours to repair it due to how Ford designed the water pump behind the engine. Also, this repair is causing engine problems. Bottom line here is that this flawed designed is a safety issue and Ford should recall the Ford Edge to fix this water pump problem before someone is seriously injured or dies.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Ford Edge. While driving 50 mph, the engine stalled on the highway. When the contact exited the highway, the engine was smoking. The contact stated that the check engine indicator illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was towed to ganley Ford west (16100 lorain Ave, cleveland, OH 44111, (216) 941-9800) where it was diagnosed that the water pump leaked coolant into the engine and a new engine needed to be installed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 150,000.

On Friday September 28, 2018, our 2011 Ford Edge limited lost the ability to accelerate and began decelerating on a freeway while being driven at 60 mph. My husband had to "coast" off the freeway and came to a dead stop without any warning (e. G. No check engine or other lights turned on) in the middle of a busy intersection, at which time the engine began smoking. Many hours later we were informed by a service technician at our closest Ford dealership, the the internal water pump had failed and flooded the engine with coolant and oil. He stated that there was nothing we did to cause it and nothing could have prevented it because it was due to a "poor design" by Ford. He stated he had seen this several times and that our engine would need to be replaced (at a cost of almost $9k). Internet research has shown that we are not the only people to experience this and that there is a pending class action lawsuit against Ford motor company for this very issue. As of right now, the card is completely dead and cannot be driven, and Ford is refusing to accept responsibility for their negligence.

Water pump leaked it's attached to motor so water in oil it's costly to repair. No light comes on to worn you. Nothing. Now engine maybe wrecked. Stupid design on Ford's part. No recalls.

As I was travelling home form vacation my check light came on. I pulled over and checked the car manual for the significance of this warning. The manual stated that, "if this warning stays illuminated, then it means that the car is due for a service maintenance. If the warning continues to blink, then service immediately. " I continued to drive for another 5 miles and noticed that the car was idling low and running rough. I came to a red light and the warning sign for an over heated engine appears. I had the car towed to a automotive facility and was told that the water pump had broken and that my anti freeze and oil had mixed together and circulated through the entire engine pretty much damaging the entire engine. The cost estimate to have a new engine installed would be over $10,000, due to the water pump being incased in the engine. This car had only had 130,000 miles on it, and I regularly kept up with service on the vehicle. Upon on line research, it is my understanding that Ford is more than aware of this issue and continues to not do anything about it. I had the car towed to my home and it will now sit there until I can reduce the amount owed on the vehicle and trade it in. The worst part of this is, that there was no type of warning whatsoever, nor did Ford ever make me aware of this being a problem in this vehicle.

My Edge has about 137,000 miles on it and the water pump failed when we were almost 200 miles away from home. I received no warning lights for low coolant, or overheating engine, just noticed it on the temp guage. Normally a water pump replacement is not a big deal and can be done pretty quickly in a few hours and for under $500 for parts and labor, but because of this particular design in these Fords the engine has to be basically taken apart and it will take about 13 hours of labor to complete the job. The parts for this job are less than $200 but because of the labor and the extensiveness this repair it is going to cost me between $1200 - $1800 to complete and that is not even at the dealer. Not only do I need to have the water pump replaced but because of the failure it dumps coolant into the oil and oil into the coolant system which means I will need to have the oil changed and the coolant system flushed as well. All of these things start to add up. I have even read where this failure can cause so much damage to the engine the entire thing needs replaced. Ford is aware of this design flaw but has decided not to do anything about it on this particular model and others using the same engine. I don't have any documentation to upload yet as my car is still at the shop and I am not expecting to get it back for a week. I am just praying there is no damage to the engine.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled with no warning. The dealer oroville Ford (1350 oro dam blvd w, oroville, CA 95965, (530) 533-3313) diagnosed that the water pump seal failed which had caused internal intrusion of water and oil which had contaminated the engine. They indicated that the engine assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer had issued 5 TSB on the engine but had not issued any recalls on the engine. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000. Dyd.

Water pump exploded and destroyed the engine with no warning. The car stopped working at 65 miles an hour on the highway, lost power, steering and brakes. The car was fully serviced and passed inspection only 10 day before the incident. There was no warning by instruments on the dashboard. Only a loss of power.

2007 Ford Edge. History: regular scheduled maintenance performed always, garage kept, taken well care of. Mileage at this time is 145k. ***driving along (in town) when I noticed the Edge was idling really low (note: 2 weeks after scheduled oil change, inspection and new battery)-all of a sudden heard this terrible clanking noise. It sounded like the whole car was falling apart. I pulled over in to a parking lot, shut the car off. Tried to crank it again and it wouldn't crank-finally did after several tries (still making this terrible sound). * warning lights, no fluctuating in gages---nothing. We had the Edge towed to our Ford dealership and were told the water pump went bad and the engine was destroyed. Our oil was full of water/coolant--it looked like muddy water. What? how? no warning, no signs? after much research we are finding that the water pump is inside the engine, therefore if the water pump "goes" there are no external signs of leakage---it's kindly leaking in to your engine and destroying it. This literally happened in a matter of minutes. Yes, this is safety issue--it left me stranded and now I'm without a vehicle for another week or so while a new engine is being ordered an installed. I can't believe Ford hasn't addressed this "design" issue with all the complaints I've read thus far. This deserves a recall and at the very least it deserves Ford's attention to be redesigned. Research also shows this is not just a Ford Edge problem---it's other Ford makes as well. This is now an $8000 "fix". Please have this looked in to on the consumer's behalf.

The engine went out due to a bad water pump but no warning signs were present. It only overheated for 2 minutes and water and oil mixed which caused the engine to go out completely.

Internal water pump failure while driving causing engine to shut off.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Edge. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (waldorf Ford in waldorf, MD) where it was diagnosed that the engine was damaged due to a faulty water pump, which caused the engine oil to become contaminated with antifreeze. The failure was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 120,000.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. While driving approximately 40 mph, the contact heard a clattering noise emitting from the vehicle. The contact also noticed hot water coming from the vehicle. The contact lifted the hood and observed that the vehicle's water pump had burst, which caused water to leak into the engine. A certified mechanic diagnosed that the water pump failed and caused the engine to fail as well. The water pump, timing chain, tensioners, phasers, and several other unidentified parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact called white Ford Lincoln (located at 4120 front st, winnsboro, la 71295; 888-303-4692) and was informed that the water pump entered the engine, which caused failures to occur, and that they would have to contact the corporate office. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened case number: cas13013218. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.

With no warning the water pump stop working and flooded into the engine and destroyed the engine. The Ford dealership told me that the engine would have to be placed at an estimated cost of $9k.

I was at a stopped light when the abs light came on and the car locked up and began shaking. I immediately turned the ignition off and then on again. I wasn't able to use the gas or brakes so I turned the car back off immediately again. After having the vehicle towed to a Ford dealership, they informed me that the water pump burst and all of the coolant ran into the engine causing it to fail. I've only had the vehicle for five years and maintenance has always been up to date via Ford dealerships. During these various maintenance checks, Ford has never notified me of any possible issues with my vehicle and now my engine has failed and I've never had any other issues with my vehicle.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Edge. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle started to decelerate and the check engine warning indicator flashed. After approximately two minutes, the vehicle performed normally. The vehicle was taken to a Ford Lincoln Mercury dealer in franklin, tennessee where it was diagnosed that the water pump failed and the water destroyed the engine. The engine would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified and provided case number: cas-12638580-mm4m1h9. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
