NHTSA Complaint #11536268 — 2017 FORD EDGE

Check engine light appeared at approximately 59,000 miles. ( just out of warranty as iIwas over the 5 years (expired March 28 2023) but under the 60,000miles. Was able to get an appt at a local dealer at 59483 miles, they did not diagnose issue, as they needed more time, set up another appt 2 weeks later and was told a new engine is needed due to coolant leaking into the engine block. Was told this is a known issue and FORD has since redesigned. Estimated cost to repair of $7000, and first available appt is 12 weeks out I have been told that the car could just stop at some point. Have read on line that major concerns with driving it, if coolant is low, could cause an engine fire. Reached out to FORD Customer Care and after much prompting was told only provide 30-40% assistance. Mind you had this happened prior to March 28 it would have been covered , Great car until now. Do not buy a used 2017 Edge.
