NHTSA Complaint #11637938 — 2017 FORD EDGE

I was driving down the highway at highway speeds (60-70mph), and bunch of lights came up on my dashboard. Primarily, the vehicle was indicating a high temperature issue. Due to this high temperature, the vehicle went into “low power mode”, to conserve heat, which caused my gas pedal to respond slowly, and leaving me feeling very unsafe. I have since gotten the car inspected and repaired. The independent service center (Christian Brothers - Fossil Creek), identified that the issue was a coolant intrusion into 2 cylinders that effectively ruined the engine. I had to have a whole engine replacement. Ford is not offering any support, even though the NHTSA has reported it as a known problem with this engine type (bulletin 19-2346)
