ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Engine light started flashing 5mins after driving on a busy freeway. Had to pull over to allow engine to cool with children in the car. Topped off coolant. Over the next week, the leak continued. Took the car to my mechanic who was unable to replicate the issue. Warning lights continued to flash and coolant continued to leak. Took car back to mechanic who advised engine block intrusion common to Fords. Advised TSB for certain Ford vehicles (2017 Ford Edge 2.0 included) plagued by a defect that causes coolant to leak into the engine cylinders, leading to a host of problem. Reported the problem to Ford who advised me to bring the car to run diagnostics (for a $200 fee). Confirmed engine long block issue and $9700 to fix.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Our 2017 Ford Edge is equipped with an EcoBoost engine. This engine has a defect that causes coolant to leak into the engine’s cylinders which can cause corrosion, oil dilution and contamination, and engine failure. This defect creates a safety risk because the lack of coolant created by the leaks causes overheating and can result in the cylinder head cracking, total engine failure, and/or engine fires. We took our vehicle to the Ford dealership on 7/17/24 because it was misfiring and losing power while driving. The dealership informed us that the coolant had in fact been leaking into the engine and we would need a new engine rebuild at a cost of $8,200. There were no warning lights and nothing else to indicate any issue was present until it was too late.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
2017 Ford Edge, purchased this vehicle brand new, 2 days ago was driving and car became overheated suddenly, temperature attempted to decrease via the power and within 1 hour it was in the Ford Dealership being looked at. I was told it had an engine coolant leakage problem that would require a complete replacement of a brand new long block engine; approximately $10k in repairs. I did not have extended warranty on this vehicle and the manufacturers warranty covered 5yr/60k miles. I've found thousands of other consumers with this exact issue. Ford knows it's a defect in these engines but refuses to make it an official recall. My car that was worth approx 10-13k is now worth nothing and will be sold at auction. Shame on you, Ford.
