Consumer Description

2018 Ford Edge, 79K miles. Check engine light came on and I immediately had it checked out. It was misfiring, spark plugs were replaced to attempt to fix the issue. Light came back on a few weeks later, it was discovered that coolant was leaking into cylinder 3 and causing the misfire. Ford recommends that the engine be replaced. This appears to be an issue that Ford is very aware of and many Ford Edges are affected, yet there is not a recall. This defect may lead to overheating and can result in the cylinder head cracking, total engine failure, and/or engine fires. This puts me and other drivers at significant risk and I am very displeased with Ford.
