NHTSA Complaint #11366461 — 2017 FORD EDGE

AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER A YEAR, WITH 61K MILES, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE BUT AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS MODEL. FORD HAS SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT UNTIL A RECALL IS ISSUED WITH MY VEHICLE BEING 1K MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. OTHERS HAVE STATED THAT FORD SERVICE HAS ADMITTED THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINT AND REPAIRS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I AM UNABLE TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY IS AT RISK.
