NHTSA Complaint #11502749 — 2017 FORD EDGE

There is a coolant leak into my engine cylinders that has completely ruined my engine. They told me they’re surprised my engine hasn’t caught fire. They refuse to cover it even though the issue falls under TSB 22-2229 but they say the VIN doesn’t. There’s many lawsuits against them because it’s an issue with the Ford engine 2.0-liter turbo-four ecoboost engine. It’s happen to many people without warning. I luckily caught it before my engine blew. If you look up the TSB online there are many lawsuits against Ford right now and they still refuse to put out a recall and the new engine costs $9,000. It’s a safety concern because there’s no warning and the engine has potential to catch fire or blow. I read online that if your car has this engine that it is only a matter of time before this happens. Ford tried to blame the issue on me and tell me that I didn’t keep up with maintenance and they completely didn’t tell me about the TSB for the car. I had to go back and read my report to find the TSB. They tried to trick me into buying a new engine even thought this is a faulty engine that they manufactured. I have kept up with maintenance and my car only has 56,000 miles on it and my warranty just expired. No way your engine just blows on a 56,000 mile car. I worry for the safety of others driving this car and many other Fords that have the same engine. A contact that we know at Ford is trying to help us out and cover some of the costs but they refuse to admit that it is a faulty engine that they manufactured. This and many other Fords with this engine are a liability and safety hazard to drive. Ford needs to be held accountable for their engine but instead they’re making people like me pay out of pocket $9,000 that I can’t afford.
