2017 Ford Edge Complaint Log

On May 24, 2021 my brakes failed on my 2017 Ford Edge and it was towed to Baxter Ford in Omaha NE (dealership where I purchased the vehicle). Baxter determined this was due to Safety recall 20S42 / NHTSA recall 20V-469. After repair was made on the front flexible brake lines the car was still not performing correctly and Baxter determined the right rear brake line also needed to replaced. This was not covered under the recall or the warranty. I called my ASE certified mechanic, who has been servicing all of my vehicles for over 10 years, to discuss with them. They told me the front and rear brakes lines are separate from each other, but they have been servicing many Ford vehicles with same rear brake line problem and just had 2 Ford F150's the previous week, one with about the same mileage as my vehicle (61,000). I am diligent with servicing my car for maintenance, oil changes and repair. My vehicle had been in to my mechanic on Feb. 18, 2021 at 57,318 miles and all fluids were also checked and everything was fine. On May 24, 2021 at 61,892 miles my 2 front brake lines and one rear brake all lost their fluid at the same time. Baxter Ford filed a request with Ford to have this covered for repair and it was denied. I contacted Ford to request to have this reviewed and was denied. However, I was told just to hold on to my receipt in case the NHTSA files a recall and would be reimbursed at that time. I have also talked to several other Ford vehicle owners who have experienced the same problem and I think this needs to be reviewed. You can reach me at [XXX] or [XXX] if you have questions or need additional information. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

We are having an ongoing issue with the tailgate malfunctioning of our 2017 Ford Edge Titanium. The tailgate will suddenly will not open for no reason after pushing the remote as well as the button on the hatch . We have tried resetting it on the menu and it will work for a while and then won’t open again. I have read that other owners have reported that it closes on their heads while putting stuff in the back. This is a safety issue because we can’t get to the spare tire if need be because of a design flaw that allows no manual operation of this tailgate!! I can’t believe this issue has not been addressed by Ford or the NTSB. Very frustrated.

Engine light came on with 83,690 miles. Carried to local Ford dealership. Problem was coolant leakage into engine(which my research has shown is a common issue). The solution is engine replacement at cost of around $7000. This is a known problem and Ford has yet to correct it.

While driving at an undisclosed speed, the brakes warning light was illuminated.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 47,000.

2017 Ford edge with 79,000 miles began to make a loud engine rattle, it almost sounded like someone had put a semi-engine in it overnight. No check engine lights ever appeared. Took it to a local shop and they came out to look at it and said it sounded really bad and I needed to tow it to a Ford House immediately. Once Ford took it apart they found that the flywheel had cracked, and it caused my crankshaft to crack as well. They're saying I need a complete engine replacement for $8,000. Big safety issue that no check engine light never came on with complete engine failure.

I received a letter from ford in May that there was a recall on my model ford fusion. I have called my ford dealer 3 times since May and they keep saying they haven't received the parts for this recall. Am I putting my family at risk by driving my vehicle? How much longer can I expect to wait? On may 5th I had front and back rotors replaced because my brakes were making a strange noise when I pressed on them. Is this part of the recall problem? If it is shouldn't I get a refund for the work done? It cost me $667.85 Thank you for your time.

I received a Safety Recall Notice number 20S42/NHTSA Recall 20V-469 in May, 2021. Since then I have been unable to have the problem resolved by Ford Motor Company due to as they say "waiting for parts to be delivered to dealership." Is this acceptable? Where's the urgency due to a safety recall? Can you help? I have contacted the local dealership over 5 times to see when this safety recall can be taken care of. Each time the response is the same. They have no parts and they are on backorder. Required to call back at a later date.First recall notice was received September 2020, Latest recall notice May 2021. Recall has not been completed.

CAR BATTERY IS DEAD; FIFTH TIME IN 3.7 YEARS. THIS CAN HAPPEN AFTER SITTING A FEW DAYS OR JUST OVERNIGHT. AFTER BEING CHARGED BY AAA, IT APPEARS TO BE FINE AND THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. BATTER WAS REPLACED AFTER THE 4TH TIME, BUT THE CAR DIED AGAIN 1.5 YEARS LATER. DEALER TRIED TO FIX BY REPLACING A SHIFT SELECTOR SWITCH (TWICE) BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

2017 Ford Edge w/2.0 EcoBoost engine. Vehicle had about 64000 miles, started vehicle in morning and it idled rough. Check engine light came on. I used a code reader and it showed "random misfire, cylinder 4" P0304. Reset the check engine light and drove for about 10 more days. Started again in the morning and it idled rough causing the check engine light to come on again. I took vehicle to Ford and they diagnosed "fluid intrusion into cylinder walls". Service adviser knew exactly what it was when I described problem, saying "this is a common occurrence". Replaced engine at a cost of $5302 since it was approx. 6ooo miles out of warranty. Found numerous online complaints about this same engine and same problem. Ford seems to know about it because in Dec. 2019 they issued TSB #19-2346 describing the problem and the steps to fix it (new engine and the required parts to order). many online complaints describe low coolant and overheating. My engine would of gotten there if I hadn't taken it in to the dealer.

WHILE DRIVING #2 CYLINDER MISFIRE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE RUNS ROUGH. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER AND DIAGNOSIS WAS COOLANT LEAK INTO #2 CYLINDER. DETERMINED ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

VEHICLE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET BRAKE FLUID WARNING SYSTEM WENT OFF. PULLED OVER AND FOUND OUT BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY DRY. TOOK IT TO HERITAGE FORD IN CORYDON, IN AS THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS FROM SEPT. 2020 BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE. THEY HAVE SAID 3 DAYS TO REPAIR ONLY ONE BRAKE LINE AND WE HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, NO RENTAL CAR. WE CALLED FORD CORPORATE OFFICE AND ARE ADVISED OF THE SAME.

WHILE DRIVING IN NEW ALBANY, INDIANA ON SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 2021, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT ONCE. MY HUSBAND HAD ME PULL OVER INTO A PARKING SPOT AND HE SAID THERE WAS 0 BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. HE HAS WORKED ON BRAKES AS A MECHANIC HIS WHOLE LIFE (71 YO NOW) AND SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. HE DROVE TO A VERY CLOSE GAS STATION AND GOT A CAN OF BRAKE FLUID AND WHEN WE GOT HOME HE HAD HIS BROTHER LOOK UNDER IT WHILE HE PUMPED THE BRAKES. IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE HOSE WAS RUPTURED. TOOK IT TO HERITAGE FORD IN CORYDON, IN WHICH IS THE CLOSEST FORD DEALIERSHIP TO US. WE FOUND PAPERWORK THAT WAS SENT IN SEPT. 2020 THAT SAID THIS WAS SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 20S42/NHTSA RECALL 20V-469. THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS. WE CALLED THE MAIN FORD CORP. PHONE NUMBER AND THEY TOLD US THE SAME THING. BOTH THE DEALER AND FORD CORP. SAY WE MUST PAY UPFRONT AND MAY BE ABLE TO GET OUR MONEY BACK AND THERE MAY BE A FORM BUT ALL WE GOT WAS A TOLL FREE NUMBER TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FAILURE TO BRAKE OR STOP, CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH AS IT WAS IMMEDIATE WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THEY ONLY REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEY DID NOT CHECK THE BRAKES FOR FURTHER WEAR OR DAMAGE. THE RECALL NOTICE, INVOICE, AND PROOF OF PAYMENT ARE ATTACHED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOT RIGHT. FORD DEALER AND MAIN CORPORATE OFFICE HAVE SAID "THEY DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ARE GOING TO HANDLE THIS AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO PAY UPFRONT." WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK TO START WITH AND WANT THE OTHER SIDE REPAIRED AT THEIR EXPENSE ALONG WITH BRAKE INSPECTION. THEY ALSO DID NOT OFFER A COURTESY VEHICLE ALTHOUGH WE ASKED REPEATEDLY FOR ONE.

ON APRIL 9, 2021 WE FOUND THE SEATBELT BUCKLE WOULD NOT LATCH ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. I NOTIFIED THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY, APRIL 12, THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SCHEDULED ME TO BRING THE EDGE IN ON APRIL 22. ON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THE SEATBELT BUCKLE TO BE BROKEN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN AND LEAVE IT TO BE SERVICED. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN INSPECTED THE SEATBELT BUCKLE AND FOUND IT INOPERABLE DUE TO THE INNER GUTS OF THE BUCKLE BEING BROKEN. A REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN ORDERED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND THIS OCCURRED WITH NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. THE EDGE HAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000 MILES.

AT ROUGHLY 77,500 MILES OUR ENGINE STARTING MISFIRING BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE PULLED CODE P0305, INDICATING CYLINDER #2 MISFIRE. WE REPLACED THE COILS AND SPARK PLUGS AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO MISFIRE. WE THEN BEGAN HEARING FLUID MOVING BEHIND OUR DASH BOARD AND NOTICED THAT THE COOLANT TANK WAS LOW BUT NO VISIBLE COOLANT LEAK WAS FOUND. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER'S SERVICE CENTER (WOODHOUSE FORD - OMAHA, NE) FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS. THEY CONFIRMED THAT ENGINE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO CYLINDER #2, CAUSING THE MISFIRE. IT WAS ALSO LEAKING INTO THE HEATING ELEMENT, CAUSING A PUTRID SMELL IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE AND THE RUSHING FLUID SOUND BEHIND THE DASHBOARD. THEY CONFIRMED THIS IS RELATED TO FORD TSB 19-2346. FORD STATED THAT THE REPAIR REQUIRES A $6300 REPLACEMENT ENGINE AND THEY ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AS A RESULT OF THEIR DEFECT. PER THE TSB, THIS ENGINE DEFECT MAY RESULT IN ENGINE FIRES BUT FORTUNATELY IT DID NOT GET TO THIS POINT FOR US.

ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THIS VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER & ACTS LIKE IT'S RUNNING OUT OF GAS. IT "STUDDERS" FOR 15-20 SECONDS & THEN BEGINS TO RUN FINE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN HAS JUST BEEN COMPLETED. IT'S A FRIGHTENING FEELING THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED & YOU HAVE FAST MOVING TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU ON A BUSY CITY STREET. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT BEING DRIVEN NOW BECAUSE WE ARE IN FEAR OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT.

Thus far, no one in danger. But some of the symptoms of this inherent, internal engine, failure code make the operation of the vehicle dangerous. The vehicle may stop abruptly or stall out. Occasionally, engine runs rough, shakes with hesitations and jerks with acceleration. 06/18/2021 inspected at Pinnacle FORD in Nicholasville, Ky. "Allowed engine to reach operation temperature and pressurized for 5 hours, 8 PSI drop in pressure. Removed spark plug and used borescope to verify coolant intrusion in the cylinder.

Around 50,000 miles my edge broke down, following warranty protocol I took to dealership and found out fluids were leaking into my motor. Had to replace engine, coil pack and cylinders. Less than a month later the engine light came back on and took it to a ford mechanic. The warranty approved motor was having the same issues as motor replaced. I needed another engine. Only somehow less than 2,000 miles and I wasn’t covered anymore through warranty. I had to find another motor and pay out of pocket for it to be replaced.

ON MY 2017 FORD EDGE THE EPB MOTOR AND ABS MODULE WENT OUT AT 62,000 MILES RESULTING IN BRAKES DRAGGING AND VERY DIFFICULT TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE WITH THE DANGER OF LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE ENGINE IS A 4 CYLINDER 2 LITER ECOBOOST AND HAS BEEN LEAKING COOLANT INTO CYLINDER NUMBER 2 CAUSING COOLANT LEVEL TO DROP AND THE ENGINE MISFIRING EVENTUALLY LEADING TO A ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. FORD HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO LOOK OUT FOR THESE PROBLEMS. THE ONLY REMEDY IS ENGINE REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF AT LEAST $8,000.00. FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS FOR QUITE A LONG TIME BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND WILL NOT HELP WITH THE COST OF REPAIR. I BELIEVE MY ENGINE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM UNTIL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT APPROX. 61,500 MILES. I THINK FORD SHOULD BEAR THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT AS THE ENGINE HAS FAILED BEFORE 62,000 MILES. A CAR ENGINE SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS OF DOZENS OF SIMILAR CASES OF THE ECOBOOST ENGINES HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND BELEIVE IT HAS A DESIGN FLAW.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME IN. TOOK CAR FOR REPAIR WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS. WEEK LATER CHECK ENGINE CAME BACK IN. WAS TOLD IT WAS MISFIRE CODES THEN CLEARED. WEEK LATER (3RDWEEK IN ROW) HEARD SWOOSHING SOUND LIKE LIQUID RUNNING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF CAR WHERE THE HEAT VENTS LOCATED AND CHECK ENGINE BACK ON WITH CAR GAS MILEAGE DECREASING FROM 147 MILES TO 25 MILES DURING A 5 MIN RIDE TO DEALERSHIP.

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. DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOTALLY MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $8,500. 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.

THE PASSENGER SEAT IS LOSE AND MAKES RATTLING NOISES

DIAGNOSTIC DONE BY FORD IDENTIFIED THAT CYLINDERS 1 AND 3 MISFIRE. THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY HAS AN INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK AT CYLINDERS 1 AND 3. THERE IS COOLANT INTRUSION AT CYLINDERS 1 AND 3. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED AGAINST FORD REGARDING THIS ECOBOOST ENGINE. MY CAR STALLS AND CANNOT EXCEED 60 MPH. THE RESOLUTION IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LONG BLOCK. FORD HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE 2.0 L ENGINE BUT HAS ISSUED SEVERAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC. COOLANT LEAKING INTO #2 CYLINDER -- 88,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT REQUIRES A TOTAL ENGINE REPLACEMENT. DEALERSHIP ESTIMATE OF $9,000 TO FIX.
