ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My edge has been experiencing flex plate issues since 106,000 miles. It’s considered a CSP through ford there is a recall but my specific car “isn’t affected” this needs to be recalled so I can get it fixed. If this cracks all the way it could cause a fatal accident and there would be law suits. This is a huge safety concern, and needs to be pushed further as my car has the same type of flex plate as the other edges that have been recalled.

Potential Consequences:
I took my Ford Edge in for a routine oil change in March 2024 and I received a call from the dealership that my car had an internal coolant leak. The technician told me this was a well known issue with these Ford engines and I need to replace the engine and it would cost approximately $10,000. I have seen that other cars with engines like mine have been recalled but my VIN was not on the recall list. I called Ford and was told they could not help me but I should save all receipts in case it gets added to the recall list. I believe that this should be taken care of by the Ford Corporation as it is a known engine defect and not caused by standard use of the vehicle.

Approximately one week after seeing the CHECK ENGINE light appear, I had a Ford dealership service center examine my vehicle and do diagnostic testing at a cost of $180. I was told coolant was leaking into cylinder 1. They informed me that TSB 22-2229 detailed the problem, and the only solution was a long block replacement. I received a second opinion from an independent service center at a cost of $130. The answer was the same. Other than the warning light, the only evidence of a problem was some rough running of the engine on start-up on occasion.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My daughter was driving me in my 2017 Ford Edge AWD. We didn’t get very far and noticed a burning smell and a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust; there was no engine light or warnings on the display. The burning smell got intense and my daughter was having burning sensations in her nose and eyes. She immediately turned the car around and went back to my house. After turning off the ignition, we still saw smoke coming out of the exhaust and was afraid the car was going to catch fire and possibly damage my carport. It did not catch on fire, but we were very scared by the incident and it took awhile for my daughter to recover from the smoke issues. The car was towed to the dealership from where I purchased the car and they said that the antifreeze had been pushed through two cylinders and it cracked the block. The remedy is replacing the engine. Now we found out that this problem has been known by Ford Motor Company on three different engines that they manufacture. They did not send any kind of notification of the danger or make any recalls. Due to their not notifying consumers of a fire or engine failure risk, I feel Ford Motor Company is putting the safety of consumers in jeopardy.

The car was towed to the dealership from where I purchased the car and they said that the antifreeze had been pushed through two cylinders and it cracked the block. The remedy is replacing the engine. Now we found out that this problem has been known by Ford Motor Company on three different engines that they manufacture. They did not send any kind of notification of the danger or make any recalls. Due to their not notifying consumers of a fire or engine failure risk, I feel Ford Motor Company is putting the safety of consumers in jeopardy.
