Consumer Description

Smelled gasoline under the hood? Technican ran test of engine and here is his report: "Checked the engine light found multilpe codes, I looked up the codes and they all said replace the engine. Did a headgasket test and found the headgasket is bad and that the coolant smells like fuel also." I was advised not to drive the vehicle! The car has only 58,208 miles on it, as senior citizen my acerage is less than 10,000 miles a year. I replaced the engine --$6,178.08. I have also been advised that I may have transmission problems. A search of the web to check for recallssrongly suggests I am not alone as this problem had been identified by other EDGE owners nation wide! I feel the Ford Motor Company has a major responsibilty for the defect.
