2015 FORD EDGE Engine Problems

2.0L EcoBoost engine and coolant intrusion. Coolant leaked into two of the cylinder heads, resulting in engine failure and the need for a full engine replacement.Initially, the vehicle would not start. A tow company technician was able to get the vehicle started, after which I was advised to drive directly to my mechanic. I was informed that the exhaust smelled like diesel fuel and that if the engine were shut off, it was highly unlikely to restart. At that point, the check engine light illuminated. The dealership confirmed the coolant instrusion and the need for a new engine.

Coolant intrusion

Long block repair due to coolant instrusion which is a known issue with this ford edge model. Dealership is quoting me $8468.16 to replace. Per their diagnosis they found coolant intrusion in cylinder 1 combustion chamber. TSB states replace long block assembly and retest. I was driving the car and it started feeling like it was skipping. I immediately returned home as I had just left the house and parked it. When I parked the check engine light came on. My husband noticed blowback in the oil and we called a tow truck driver to tow the vehicle to the dealership.

There was a constant burning smell off and on over the last year coming from under the hood. Some days it was stronger than others. Engine compartment was hot when hood was opened. Would the engine catch fire? The coolant level would drop/leak randomly causing car to sputter or vibrate while sitting at traffic lights, etc... Traffic behind me was ready to move, but my car wasn't moving at the normal rate. It wasn't safe. Warning lights would come on, but not always. Sometimes it would throw a code and sometimes it wouldn't. For the first several months, we didn't know what exactly was going on with the vehicle. Unfortunately these cars are still being sold with this problem. We bought one of them from a dealership and got stuck paying for a new engine. Clearly, someone ditched this car before the engine replacement became their problem. We aren't the...

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving on three separate occasions, the vehicle failed to accelerate upon depression of the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was previously diagnosed with a cracked flex plate, and the flex plate was replaced twice; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle made an abnormal knocking sound and lost motive power upon depression of the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact related the failure to Customer Satisfaction Program: 22N12. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was provided. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline to file a vehicle safety complaint. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Had a misfire when starting the vehicle so took it to a mechanic. There is a coolant leak in the engine block which appears to be a major problem with this year and make. Can cause engine failure and other problems.

Recently my Check Engine Light came on and I had the vehicle diagnosed with a local repair shop. The code P0301:00-EC was pulled from the vehicles scan. Upon further research this code is linked to TSA 19-2208 issued 06/27/2019. Ford knew that the engine design was flawed and only issued a TSA bulletin. This issue could cause catastrophic engine failure and fire. This issue is not a maintenance issue but a serious flaw from the manufacturer. There is also a class action lawsuit, Miller, et al. vs. Ford Motor Company - Case No: [XXX] filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. I am hoping that you will take interest in this, as there are probably many 2nd or 3rd owners of these vehicles that are unaware of the severity of the engine flaw. My vehicle has been at the Robinson Ford in Baton Rouge LA...

My ford edge has a 2.0 ecoboost engine 2015 model year they are known for having head gasket problems It just occurred to me at 115 thousand miles ford knew for the problem early on and kept building the same engine all the way up until 2019 model year There should be a head gasket replacement recall at least, so many people with so many head gasket problems the internet is full of reports

Coolant is leaking into the engine cylinder due to head gasket failure. Mechanic confirmed the problem. Engine may fail without warning. Known issue in EcoBoost 2.0L engines from 2015 Ford Edge models.

Coolant is leaking into cylinders. This is causing a misfire. Ford calls for a long block replacement due to the original long block not being thick enough.

My Vehicles Engine had a Cylinder #2 Misfire that was a result of Coolant Intrusion. This issue seems to be a known issue and Ford did correct for post 2019 vehicles, but I had to pay over $8,000 in repairs to get a new motor because that Coolant Intrusion issue ruins motors. I don't understand why I am responsible for this egregious problem Ford never corrected for 2015-2019 Ford Edge Owners. In no way should a person be responsible for over $8,000.00 in repairs on a vehicle that failed from a Manufacturing defect/error/issue. This expense is now a financial burden on not only myself but my family. I had to take a personal loan out to cover the cost. Certainly unfair. I have owned this car since it was brand new. only owner and it's been wonderful until this issue has appeared. i'm begging the NHTSA to force Ford to...

Kept up regular maintenance on car. The vehicle began to lose power while driving and took in to shop, was told the cylinders were misfiring. Had replaced twice and was told there were leaks. Engine failure.

55,000 miles and start the car it shakes and engine light comes on. My plugin said misfired cylinder so we Take it to Apple ford in maplewood, mn and they say it has coolant in engine cylinders and need to replace the engine for about $7500 and it’s not drivable they said. Internet has many lists of this complaint for my engine but still no recall. I’ve had it parked since waiting.

Under normal driving conditions, engine had severe misfires, flashing check engine light, and vehicle had to be pulled to side of highway. Took several hours sitting on highway to get tow truck to tow to dealership. Dealership confirmed coolant in pistons and deemed it a catastrophic engine failure. Problem appears to be widespread with many reports of the same, and a known engine defect that causes the problem.

My 2015 Ford Engine recently had engine failure. Came out of the blue. Had just undergone recall at ford dealership in Norwood, MA weeks before failure. Had just received inspection sticker weeks before failure. No warning lights came on. Suddenly started having white gray smoke coming from exhaust. Car not running properly. Smell from engine. Spoke with mechanic who said to have it towed not to drive it. Diagnosed with engine failure. Has approximately 103,000 miles on it. One owner. Routine maintenance. No issues with the car. Just noticed there is a recall in 2021-2022 ford edges with 2.7 choose engine. Sounds like my car. I have read and heard from several mechanics that this is a known problem with the Edge in particular. Would be interested in some feedback. This is a devastating expense and if this is a common theme I think Ford should be held responsible. I...

The 2015 Ford Edge and similar models are notorious for flex plate cracking, which Is an absolute hazard to anyone driving it. These things can crack or shatter spontaneously, causing the engine to stop running, even mid-drive. This issue is known, yet the NHTSA hasnt deemed this as a true recall, so Ford isnt covering replacement of this part. PLEASE reconsider recalling this part!

Coolant is draining at a fast pace. Unsure of where it's leaking.

coolant intrusion in cylinders on the engine 2.7 ecoboost Ford made a bad engineering decision on the headers and block to allow coolant to flow through the gaskets to get to the other side of the cylinder. Now with a vehicle only 98K miles I'm expected to pay more than the car is worth to get it fixed or be out of a vehicle or find a scrape yard or someone to buy it off of me just to save some money. I can't trust any American auto makers with my money going forward. Auto shop Notes - The vehicle has the history code of P0316- misfire detected in the first 1,000 revolutions and P0304- Cylinder four misfire detected. The active counters was checked and it is steady on four but the other cylinders will drop random. The vehicle will smoke coolant out of the tailpipe also. This all indicates...

Car has ~119k miles on it. Driven ~ 100 miles daily (predominantly highway). Flywheel made noise and broke within 2 days last week.

2 fly wheels have been changed with ford parts within the last 2.5 years. There is a leak coming from the lower part of the engine through the weep hole. Rear main seal was changed and now it leaks more. We cannot locate source of leak. Crank shaft "walk" is suspected. We are in the process or ordering a brand new engine to replace the existing one that has 157K miles on it.

My car only has 73,367 miles on it and was experiencing a misfire on #4 cylinder. My Ford dealer ran a test on it and said coolant from the 2.0 EcoBoost is leaking into the cylinder and it will burn up the engine which could lock up on me while driving. This is a known defect, but Ford has not done a recall on it. My dealer told me they have heard Ford Co helping some people with the replacement cost, so why won't they help everyone? It is ridiculous to have to get a whole new engine (which is what our dealer is suggesting) when my car has such low mileage. Is there anyone I could reach out to for help getting this defect recalled and fixed? Fortunately, I found about this danger before I drove it too long and the engine froze up on my while driving. We...

Traveling 80mph on turnpike and lost all ability to propel vehicle forward due to broken flex plate. Car just stopped driving and steering became an issue as I coasted to the shoulder in the middle of no where miles and miles from a place of business. No warning. The only sign was a loud rattle from the bell housing. Broken flex plate happened 3 times this year 2023. First repair $2400 by AAA mechanic shop, second time (4 months later) covered by parts warranty, 3rd time (2 months later) and Ford wants $4500 and no reimbursement for the first repair.

I recently learned that there is a coolant leak in my engine in cylinder 2 which has now blown a gasket and causing the engine to fail. I was told the entire engine needs to be replaced. After doing research i learned ford release a service bulletin to address this issue but they do not accept liability for this defect. A quick google search will show many many ford customers are affected by this issue and ford needs to address the concerns and issue a recall and offer to replace the engine.

Faulty water pump leak which is extremely expensive to repair due to manufacturer encasing it inside the timing belt chain. I cannot afford a $5K repair for something that should be extremely more affordable due to Ford’s scheme to acquire more money to repair. Standard mechanics cannot complete tasks due to the severity of the job as well as specialized tools required including lifting the car. These water pump, according to what I was informed was designed to last at least 150K miles.

Engine has been shaking/misfiring and white smoke coming from Exhaust. Took it to ford and they said it was a coolant intrusion problem on the first cylinder. Learned there is a design flaw in Fords eco boost engines. There is currently a class action lawsuit with Ford. Was told by Ford that a new engine is needed. Approximately $9,000 for repair

engine miss fire code and loss of coolant

The motor is leaking coolant into the cylinders. This affects engine performance and drivability. Coolant has to be added every day. This is a known issue with this motor in other ford vehicles but my vehicle is not included but exhibits the same issues as the other vehicles.

Had to replace the entire engine with only 65,000 miles on it

Our vehicle was making very loud noises and the cooling fan kept running. We took the car to the Ford Dealership as it has some recalls that needed to be fixed and we needed some general maintenance performed. The dealer let us know that the water pump had a crack and needed to be repaired immediately. I looked online and it appears that this is a known issues with Ford vehicles. This was a very costly repair because they had to take out the engine to be able to reach the water pump. We were advised that if this was not repaired the leak could reach the engine and cause total failure. This amounted to $3166.71 for labor and parts. https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/ford-class-action-lawsuit-and-settlement-news/ford-class-action-alleges-vehicles-contain-defective-water-pumps/

I own a 2015 sport edge that got serviced from the dealership at the beginning of the year 2023 for a rattling noice, loss of power, and a shut off problem while been operated on the highway. Expenses where paid out of pocket twice for the same reasons but now in July 2023 I received a recall letter 22N12 about this problem and after getting another diagnosis from the dealership I've been advised that a new engine is needed and that ford will not cover any expenses even after the recall 22N12 stating that the problems I'm having with my car are the same diagnosis the dealership gave me months ago but now this recall for some reason is not available even thou is was a manufacturer issue. Thanks but this issue put my family at risk multiple times while operating the vehicle after a recall was created and never...
