Leak in the eco booster coolant system of my 2017 Ford Edge. Our local Ford dealership, Riverside Ford, will not return our calls and have given a ridiculous timeframe of 3 months or more before they will even look at it.
The check engine light came on so I took it to do a diagnostic test and it said that it was a miss fire and the description came back that the spark plugs and coils needed to be replaced. Was able to replace them and the check engine light turned off. While sitting in a drive through with my 3 children in the car, the warning lights came on notifying that the engine was over heating. Went straight to a mechanic and they said that I had zero coolant in the car. They added coolant and I went about the day. 3 weeks later I turned on the car and after 10 minutes the warning lights came on that it was over heating again. Was able to get home and looked under the hood and the coolant was totally gone again.

Known and reported by many others issue regarding coolant intrusion into engine cylinders, making engine inoperable and requiring complete replacement.
Bought vehicle new at a dealer, never one problem and every service completed at the dealership. No warning, 2 days ago I went to start my car and it idled then shut off. Check engine light popped on, quickly after another screen popped up and said coolant above temperature. Immediate drove a mile to the ford dealership to be advised they could not see me, but maybe get to it next week. But, I should.not drive it off the lot. Long story short, had it towed to my home dealership about 120 miles away, they looked the following day only to advise coolant was leaking into the engine and this is a known issue! Of course, warranty expired 5k miles ago ( 5 months) and they are asking me to replace the entire engine at my cost for about $8500! The car is just over 4 years old, 2017 edge. I also find it hard to believe that I just did the 80k mile service 3 weeks ago and somehow nothing was wrong at that time. Still owe money on a car that I either can't drive or have to pay $$$$.

MY 2017 FORD EDGE WITH A 4 CYLINDER 2.0 ECOBOOST ENGINE AND 81,000 MILES NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, AS PER MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. I RECENTLY HAD COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE THROUGH THE CYLINDERS. ALL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WORK, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, HAVE BEEN DONE WHEN REQUIRED. Daytona beach Automall DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOTALLY MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $5500. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WITH FORD ECOBOOST ENGINES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF IT FOR YEARS. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THEN IT'S THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT WHEN THEY HAVE KNOWN FOR SOME TIME THAT THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE.
P0303 Code. 3rd cylinder misfire. Not spark or injector related.. vehicle only has 46k miles. Coolant seeping into cylinder. Known issue on ford forums. Required engine replacement. They need to make a recall.
2017 Edge titanium at roughly 70k miles had check engine light come on then engine coolant temp light. Checked coolant and it was nearly empty. Filled up and within one day it was back to low. Took to two places and both said head gasket issue, with coolant seeping into engine. Both said long block replacement required. This long thread is exactly what happened and seems to be a consistent issue which is very poor on Ford’s part - https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t57176_ds1047694
I believe the component that is causing the intermittent issue is the throttle body, however the issue is very hard to diagnose as it is very intermittent. There has been another case on the same engine (just a different year) that I have found online. While entering a highway on multiple occasions now, the vehicles engine entered a limp mode, and the entire dash had lit up with service messages. The Wrench, Check Engine, Service AdvanceTrac, Blindspot Monitoring, and many more lights were present. This is unsafe because in both situations I was unable to accelerate to get out of the way of oncoming traffic let alone safely pull my car to the side of the road. In one instance I had to pull off on the only shoulder I had just as I was entering a major highway and ended up being half in the lane of oncoming traffic on a bend where oncoming vehicles could not really see me stopped. Ive been at a dealer twice, and there are no codes present, the issue goes away after a simple vehicle restart.

Engine encountered cold start misfire code 105.95, cylinder 1 misfire and misfire detected on startup, PO 301 and 316. Coolant leaking into cylinder, Ford TSB 19-2208 is to replace the Long Block Engine Assembly. Engine has 93511 miles and is not covered under warranty, will cost an exorbitant amount to replace. Ford should issue a recall due to the severity as this effects many different model engines.
About the car in January of 2022. I was told By more than one ford motor company service employee that ford motor company only installs new engines when an engine fails and has to be replaced. In a nine month period the car has had four new engines and two turbos. I learned after it needed the 2nd asylum. At the dealership who installed the 1st engine put a junk yard motor in it claiming it was new from Ford motor company. The parts numbers that are on the receipt are in fact ford motor company parts numbers. When the motor was taken out for the 2nd engine to be put in it I saw it with the service manager it had rushed all over it and a. Two thousand fourteen stamp on the back of it. They refuse to even acknowledge this and do anything about it. Meanwhile in one year I have over $40000 in cost for toes hotels and rental expense that they refuse to acknowledge. I have had the car maybe 4 months out of the past 15 because of its continued breakdowns and engine replacement requirements. All of these issues started. Less than twenty four hours after purchasing and receiving my vehicle. This is a very shortened version and detail of my. Experience with the Ford Edge I bought 2017 model in January of 2022. I have plenty more documentation pictures. Emails et cetera. Regarding. Nightmare of A. Vehicle and each? Breakdown That has happened time and time again. Car is back at a dealership now awaiting its 4th engine and God. Knows what else Ford. Needs? To. Recall this ego boost. Motor and make it right for all the customers that have lost so much money and had so much. Frustration with something they thought and were told would be a reliable safe car for their family period. In total I have over seventy five thousand dollars in a two thousand seventeen ford edge that I have owned and paid off all inside of the past year. This vehicle has put me in so much debt that my credit is now ruined. I have put just as much money in rental cars as I did. Pay for this vehicle and it

Hello, 1. "Other" - I've had to replace the CV joint on the same side twice in the last two years. -Yes you can inspect. -Safety was not at risk, I don't think. -I had them fixed at Pauli Ford in St. Johns, MI. -No warning lights. 2. "Wheel" - The lugnuts are swollen on all 4 wheels. -Yes you can inspect. -Safety and safety of others were at risk. -I'm getting them fixed at Costco with a full set of new tires. -No warning lights
Swollen Lug Nuts.. Grand Ledge Ford, would not rotate and balance tires due to swollen lug nuts. Was informed the lug nuts should be replaced. Also told it is a known problem with Ford using the two piece lug nuts.
My engine light came on for the first time on a Thursday, Jan 13, 2022. I had an appointment for an oil change with an independent service center on Saturday (1/15/22) & asked them to do a diagnostic check prior to the oil change. They found a code for PO303 Misfire on cylinder 3. They recommended a coolant pressure test per TSB 19-2208. The test was done the following Monday (1/17/22) and they found coolant leaking into cylinder. Replacement of the long block engine assembly per TSB 19-2208 was recommended. Engine was replaced by independent service center (completed 1/25/22). My safety & the safety of others was put at a high risk with this defect in the engine. When the coolant pressure test was done, it took less than 1 hour for all of the coolant to leak into the cylinder. Prior to my engine light coming on, I had no indication of any issue. However, Ford was definitely aware of this issue, since they issued the TSB on June 26, 2019. A vehicle that is less than 5 years old should not need a new engine.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while the vehicle was idle, he heard abnormal knocking and ticking sounds coming from the engine. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V427000 (Power Train) because the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.
A warning lamp for the power train came on while traveling on the highway (Wrench indicator). We stopped to check the owners manual for the meaning of the wrench indicator. After seeing it was for the power train, we started back up and headed towards Edgefield (where we live) and get to the closest Ford dealer. After starting the vehicle back up, the warning lamp was no longer lit. While accelerating to highway speeds entering the highway, the engine flex plate gave out and all power from the engine was lost. The vehicle still kept power to the electrical systems (Power steering, A/C, lights, etc.) but no power was being pushed to the wheels. Had the incident happened at full highway speeds, it is unknown what damage could have occurred. This is the assumption from myself due to the symptoms provided from the vehicle at the halt. Symptoms include: Grinding/Rattling sound from the rear of the engine, sounds more prevalent at idle and when shifting into gear, loss of power to wheels, and no other systems have issue after incident. Vehicle is currently at Herlong Ford (SC Ford Dealer) awaiting diagnostic and possible maintenance after the incident. I would assume the vehicle would be available for inspection upon request. After conducting research, we are now aware of a known recall on this specific vehicle for its age and time of manufacturing. The owned vehicle falls into the criteria for the recall but it is unknown why it is not noted on the vehicle history/Ford recall center. The vehicle was manufactured at the Oakville plant, falls within the recall years 2013-2018, and has shown all symptoms pertaining to the recall that is open on other vehicles.
Swollen lug nuts - dealership strongly advised to replace due to possible loss of control, accident or injury.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that when his wife started the vehicle inside the garage, the rear windshield shattered. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle would intermittently vibrate and shake without warning upon depression of the brake pedal. One day as she approached a stop light, the vehicle began to stall upon depression of brake pedal with the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact's father was able to inspect the vehicle and diagnosed the vehicle with a defective torque converter. Upon investigation, her father then discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V390000 (Power Train) which he linked to her failure. The manufacturer was notified and informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 123,000.
Coolant leaking into the engine block. Blue smoke coming out the back of the tailpipe upon start up. Constantly refilling coolant to prevent overheating of the engine. No outside coolant leak present.
Sparks and coils were missing and replaced multiple times. Brought vehicle to Veterans Ford in Tampa, FL, and coolant is leaking into the cylinders - they have advised this is a known issue, and no fix is in place. Required a new engine on a 5 year old vehicle with 85,000 miles.
Rear panoramic sunroof glass curving crack. Parked in driveway when happened. Not moving.
In early December, the vehicle was at approximately 80,000 miles and scheduled for an oil change. A CEL illuminated the day before the oil change. Firestone changed the oil and advised that two codes came on during a code scan: P0302 and P0316. I made an appointment at Complete Car Car for their first available appointment a week out. In the intervening week, the vehicle had a rough idle for the first thirty seconds after startup. The second mechanic pulled the same codes and put a scope into the engine. The scope confirmed that there was a crack in the No. 2 cylinder that was allowing coolant into the engine. They advised that the car would likely need a new engine. They provided TSB 19-2346 and recommended I take the vehicle to the Ford dealership for further investigation. Classic Ford states that the vehicle will require a new engine at a cost of $7,500. Dealership cautioned against any additional miles being put on car, since a failure could result in damage to transmission. Will ask dealership for photos of damage engine components, but current engine will be kept by dealership once new engine arrives.
My APIM has failed. It Will cost $900 to replace it at the Ford Dealership where I purchased it used 1 1/2 years ago. Why isn't there a recall on this for 2017 Edge? Thanks

Check engine light indicates cylinder misfire. Repair folks assume its spark plug related. Coolant is leaking into the engine causing this and by the time it is figured out the engine needs replaced! It is a known and well documented problem with these vehicles. I believe that FORD should be held liable for the cost of these engine replacements. It appears to happen around 60-65k miles. Unfortunately, owners of these vehicles are unaware of the issue until it happens to them. This is exactly what happened to me and I did research after the fact. I would implore for FORD to issue a recall and pay for these new engines.
the coolant leaked onto the coil of the motor & now my motor has to be replaced-extended warranty ran out & now looking at 8500-9000k to replace engine. my car is in immaculate condition, well maintained & I paid 40,000k when I purchased in 2017- has 84,000k miles.I have read online at CarGurus complaint after complaint of the same exact problem. The technician at Freedom Ford advised that this has happened to numerous 2.0L Ecoboost motors from 2017-2019 & now the motors have been changed & the problem no longer occurs after 2019. He says that he knows of no recalls. Ford is very well aware of the problem & should do a recall- we paid good money for these cars & they should last longer.
The engine block was cracked at 62,355 miles (out of warranty) and had to be replaced. Upon further investigation, this is not an uncommon problem with this year/model of car.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the coolant had been escaping from the vehicle without warning. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, a large amount of white smoke with a bluish hue began to emit from the exhaust pipe without warning. The contact then took the vehicle to McLarty Ford (3232 Summerhill Rd, Texarkana, TX 75503) where the mechanic informed her that coolant had been leaking into the oil reservoir and that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact then drove the vehicle to her father's home and the next day, the vehicle failed to start after multiple attempts. The contact had the vehicle towed to Elliott Ford (2055 Burton Rd, Mt Pleasant, TX 75455) where they confirmed that the engine needed to be replaced.

The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
head gasket engineering defect - failed. - coolant leaking in cylinder - engine cracked - only 67,000 miles - was under warranty on years but over on mileage by 7,000 - refused to assist with cost of replacing engine - out of pocket cost close to 11,000 - 2,000 (recouped 1500) was for diagnosis from local garage and 9,000 for engine at Ford Dealership. No assistance with rental car, as well. Replacing engine lead time is 3 months! This is the only vehicle in household. Ford is aware of the engineering defect - has recently revised engineering to correct - a recall should be performed on cars from 2016 thru 2018 with Ford. The consumer should NOT be responsible for an engineering defect. These problems can surface as quick as 20,000 miles. Again! Coolant leak in cylinder destroyed the engine. Where are the Technical Service Bulletins on these vehicles!!? Prestine maintenance records follow this car - no fault of consumer - this is 100 percent Ford's fault. These need to be recalled immediately before a fatal accident occurs.
Sunroof cracked for no reason

I can not see a dark road in the night if there is no additional lighting, such as street lights. I have been to the dealership and there is no brighter bulbs approved by Ford; they have repositioned the lights and it does not help. I have missed a right turn several times and understeered. Twice I have missed the road completely and ran into a ditch that was not made visable when using the dim headlights. I have hit a fence post after going into the ditch. I made no insurance claim thinking that I was my fault that I can not see well in this vehicle. I see several post online with complaints and concerns regarding this same issue of the 2017 Edge Titanium not have efficient dim headlights. This is a major safety concern. I can not see to safely drive at night on dark roads such as in the country. I can not see the road ahead of me more that a couple of feet and not at all when turning right. I bought the car from a dealership in spring this year, 2021. I seldom drive at night and I finally decided it is a vehicle issue not my personal issue with not being able to see the road at night. I will be going back to the dealership...again. It looks like I will have to buy a different car since there is nothing that can be done to make this car safe!!
I have a 2017 Ford Edge with 37,383 miles on it. The check engine light came on one day as I was driving however the car was running fine. I thought it was a fault light as I’ve never had an issue with this veh. I took it in to the dealership and was told that it needed a new engine. Luckily it was covered under warranty HOWEVER it took 3 months to get my veh. back….3 weeks later the same thing happened on my 2018 Ford Escape with only 24,000 miles on it!
My car stated hesitating when you’re trying to accelerate and slightly shaking a couple days before my check engine light turned on. I took it to a local mechanic which informed me they did a test and my coolant mixed with the oil. They made a call to Ford and was informed that the only option was to replace the whole engine. He was unable to repair it because understaffed went to two other mechanics and they also were unable to help. My car is now with Ford dealership for more than 2 weeks and was just again diagnosed for $159 and they once again confirmed I will need a whole new engine at just over 70,000 miles $8400 and no idea when they will be able to get the parts in… could be 3 months.
