EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
Prior to taking delivery of this car (new, March 2017) the selling dealer replaced the tail/back-up light assembly on the tailgate because it had moisture in it. After I had the car for about 3 months the moisture came back and I called the dealer. They said it was a know problem and they would get back to me when they had the part to fix it. They never called me and I forgot about the problem. In October 2024, a neighbor told me my right back-up light was out. A couple of weeks later I went to my mechanic to have the bulb replaced. He told me that both back-up lights were out and they were non-replaceable LEDs. The entire light assembly must be replaced before I can get a state inspection sticker. The list price of the unit from Ford (only available from Ford no aftermarket part made) is $1,257.57. The car only has 48,206 miles on it. I think the LEDs shorted out because of the moisture. I called Ford, they said there was nothing they could do for me. I don't believe I am the only person to have this problem. I think Ford should do something because it is a problem they knew about since day one.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I purchased a 2016 Ford Edge and it has been one problem after another. This particular problem, and the last straw, has to do with coolant leaking from my car. After reading several complaints over a period of years it seems to be the same issue with many owners of the same make and model, a crack in the cylinder or motor (Long Block). I also read that Ford is aware of this problem and nothing has been done towards resolving the situation. This cannot be an ongoing issue. What will it take before a recall is made? After paying for several repairs since purchasing the car, I have exhausted all of my resources and can not afford an engine replacement. Will someone please, please, please, hear our complaints and offer a resolution that will not cost us an arm and a leg as a result of the manufacturer's negligence. I am very disappointed in FORD.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Coolant was leaking into cylinder #1 in the engine. The engine consequently had to be replaced, and a Ford dealer replaced it. Coolant was leaking into the engine because of a design defect in the engine that Ford has known about for a long time. See Ford Technical Service Bulletin 22-2229. The design defect is a safety risk. My vehicle would not pass Pennsylvania’s vehicle safety inspection required annually by Pennsylvania law because of the coolant leaking into the cylinder in the engine due to the design defect. Information about Pennsylvania’s vehicle safety inspections required by Pennsylvania law is at [XXX] . “Pennsylvania requires vehicle safety inspections to ensure that vehicles are maintained for safe operation. Safety Inspections can prevent vehicle failure on the highways and crashes that may result in injuries or death.” Id. Coolant leaking into an engine cylinder(s) could result in engines overheating due to low or no coolant, thereby endangering the safety of passengers, other drivers, and others. Vehicle fires because of engine overheating while the vehicle is parked in a home garage could result in a house fire, thereby endangering the safety and lives of persons in the house and neighbors. Additionally, coolant leaking into an engine cylinder(s) results in excessive smoke/emissions when the vehicle is started, thereby negatively affecting air quality and the safety and health of everyone who breathes the contaminated air. The clouds of smoke produced by coolant burning off when the vehicles are started in a driveway or parking lot could obscure the vision of other drivers or pedestrians or distract them, thereby endangering their safety, the safety of the vehicle occupants, and the safety of others. Ford paid about 20% of the engine replacement cost, and I had to pay the rest, which was $7,037.08 including $400.02 PA sales tax.
