Engine block crack leaking coolant into the cylinders. This was evident by white smoke coming from the tailpipe. This was confirmed by an independent mechanic who did a compression test on each cylinder and was able to identify the location of the cracked block.

Engine blew at 67,334 miles. Had complete new replacement. New engine blew at 116,239 miles

We are Canadians live in Calgary, AB Canada. We have a 2016 ford egde. There was an engine warning sign popped up when we had a road trip in US days ago. We also noticed that the car chokes when cold start with white sweet smoke come out. We had the car checked up by a ford dealer at coos bay, Oregon. Here is the diagnostics - dtcp0303 stored related to cylinder 3 misfire - found engine coolant level low - topped off coolant and pressure tested system - found pressure to bleed off abnormally - no external leaks observed - removed aprk plug and bore scope cylinder - verified coolant intrusion in cylinder 3 also found signs of burning coolant on spark plug - recommended repair is long block replacement. We cancelled our unfinished trip and struggled to drive 2000km back home(low speed, keep checking/adding coolant and engine oil)....

Coolant is leaking into the engine. My car unexpectedly and very suddenly started overheating while driving, without any warning that coolant levels were low. The car was inspected by the dealer's service center, and they confirmed this issue, stating the only solution is to completely replace the engine. The check engine light on the car did come on, but the code was related to an engine misfire. I had spark plugs and an engine coil replaced, but after a few days, the check engine light came back on with the same code of an engine misfire. One day while driving, the temperature gauge warning came on, saying that the temperature of the car was too high and to stop driving immediately. At this point, I checked under the hood and saw that the coolant overflow tank was completely empty.

My Ford Edge was running rough and white smoke was coming out of the exhaust. Tge engine light came on my dashboard. I took it to MasterTech in Dimondale MI on July 5, 2024 and they said coolant is leaking into the 4th cylinder. He said Ford recommends an engine replacement for the issue. He said Ford knows about this issue with the ecoboost engine. I have 88,000 miles on my car and shouldn't need a new engine. I have not taken it to the dealership because they charge to look at the car. They said they know about the issue but there is not a recall and it would cost $9,000 to fix. I have been informed that it is possible that the car will catch on fire.

Coolant leaked into engine causing cylinder to crack. The entire engine needs to be replaced. Codes showed misfires.

When starting white smoke appeared for about 5 minutes. Check engine light came on 2 weeks ago after getting my oil changed. Car felt like it had lost its power and/or pep when accelerating. Found P0301 & P0316 engine misfires. TSB 22-2229 applies to concern. Performed coolant pressure test for 2 hours, removed cylinders 1 & 2 plugs inspected with bore scope and found coolant present in cylinder1, indicating coolant intrusion. Recommend replacement of engine long block as per TSB 22-2229 and retest. Also, bushing shifter cable recall was completed as well. Went to Bruce Titus Ford, Inc. Port Orchard, WA today [XXX] . This is what the service department diagnosed my 2016 Ford Edge SEL AWD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My Edge has 41,000 miles on it and the engine light came on. I took it to my local dealership and they found that it has coolent intrusion and therefore I need a new engine. The dealership told me there is a TSB# 22-2133 (2.0L EcoBooser - Coolant in Cylinders) for this issue but Ford never issued a recall. I did my own research to find out that there is a class action lawsuit in the Eastern District Court for this exact issue. I contacted Ford Corporate and they said they know nothing about this issue but would help expedite the repairs of my vehicle. The TSB I looked up is directly from Ford so I am a little preterbed they aren't taking responsibility for this. Engines and rental cars are not cheap.

Coolant disappearing without leaks took the vehicle to Parrish Motor Co. in Goochland Va. The diagnostics showed the engine was blown. Per Ford Forum and Reddit this has been an ongoing issue with the 2.7 Edge Ecoboost. My parents are [XXX] and [XXX] on a fixed income and brought this car brand new always took care of the maintenance but there has been several recalls for major reasons since they have owned this vehicle and it’s paid for by individuals that don’t have the $8000.00 for a new motor on a vehicle that’s paid for. Started late July 2024, vehicle currently at dealer, [XXX] drives vehicle if stranded not able to walk far. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Faulty engine design leads to head gasket failure, engine misfire and stall. Engine stall can cause loss of vehicle motive and braking by loss of vacuum assisted braking. Dealer just completed service on this vehicle and reported the failure after completing repair on another defective part, the flexplate assembly. After completing repairs advised it likely has coolant intrusion issue. Did not inform customer about the TSB showing FORD determined the block is defective and should be replaced at customer cost. Ford has known about this issue since about 2011. These engines need to be recalled. Repair data available to mechanics and on popular video sites show that Fords updated block removes two water paths that interfere with head gasket seating on 2015 - 2019 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost engines. This is a known manufacturer defect that puts owners and occupants in uneeded danger due to Ford's refusal to recall and...

I'm filing a complaint regarding my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, which required two engine replacements due to a defect causing coolant intrusion into the cylinders.The engine failed due to coolant leaking into the cylinders, a problem diagnosed and confirmed by Ford technicians. Both engines are no longer in the vehicle, but documentation is available upon request. My safety and the safety of others were put at significant risk on two separate occasions. The first engine failed at 67,000 miles, leading to the engine blowing while I was driving on the highway. This nearly caused an accident as the vehicle suddenly lost power. The second engine, which was a replacement from a 2018 Ford Edge with the same 2.0L EcoBoost engine, also failed in a similar manner at 87,000 miles, again while I was driving on the highway. On this occasion, I was left stranded on...

Total engine failure due to coolant intrusion

No warning lights before or after the problem occurred. Driving about 25mph with traffic heard loud noise like something broke then sounded like plastic was dragging, the engine was a lot louder. I got it off traffic and pulled over. Nothing under the car. No warning or engine lights came on. Dealer told me it was a fly wheel on 6/26 and covered under warranty. Said it would take 2 weeks to repair (July 5). I kept calling for status on my car with no call back from the service manager. I finally had to complain (although I was afraid to since they had my car), and they called on 7/12 said it's not the fly wheel like they thought, they said I need a whole new transmission. They don't know what cause it but maybe something broke inside the transmission caused damage to it. $7600 cost to replace it....

Ford recalled cars with same problem with the 2.0 engine but did not recall on edge which has the problem of coolent sepping into cylinders ,engine light came on

I have a 2016 Ford EdgeTitanium with a 2.0 EcoBoost with 63,000 miles on it. In May of 2024 my check engine light came on. Verified coolant intrusion into cylinder 1 causing engine failure. Mileage on the car does not warrant an engine replacement. When Ford was contacted, both the original dealership and manufacturer, they took no fault in the matter. I was told there was a possibility of an engine fire if left as it was. I had to pay $9469.44 for a new engine! Many forums show this same issue happening with the same year/make/model. Ford should be held accountable for a known defect in the block that was not corrected through a recall.

check engine light came on, when assessed I was told it was a cylinder 3 misfire. Car began overheating while driving down the highway. Took it to a shop who performed block test > found combustion gases in cooling system caused by blown head gasket > replaced head gasket, timing chains & sprockets. After head gasket was replaced there was white smoke & misfire at cold start up - (been this almost ever since we replaced the head gasket). Shop then tested cooling system for combustion gases > found head gasket leaking due to cracking block at gasket surface > replaced complete engine assembly.

At 83,000 miles the car exhibited a P0301 check engine light for a misfire. Several troubleshooting steps were taken including new spark plugs, swapped ignition coils and then troublehooting shifted to checking for the known coolant intrusion issue. TSB 22-2229 was followed and after pressurizing the coolant system to 21 psi and inserting an endoscope visual confirmation of coolant leaking into the cylinder from the head gasket was discovered. This is a known issue to Ford that they have not acknowledged other than a TSB which advises to replacing replace the long block. We are going this route to the quote of $8,818.15. Due to Ford's change in coolant passage design they have created an engine with known issues that they are failing to warranty.

Bad design of the engine. Coolant leaks into cylinders. The manufacturer knows this is a design defect. Reference, TSB 22-2229 from Ford and NHTSA ID: 10214126

Three weeks ago my engine light came on. Took it in to Ford Services in Woodland Hills, California where they found a that there was a coolant intrusion in the engine. They proceeded to explain that this is a known issue with the type of engine due to a manufacturer defect. They were able to see that indeed this was the issue with my vehicle. But my VIN was not under the recall that is in place for other vehicles with the same engine defect. I called Ford and they said they could do nothing about it. They directed me here to make a complaint.

Getting a code of misfire on cylinder one and it’s got antifreeze on top of the cylinders blowing white steam out of the tail pipes

Issues started with check engine light with PO302 Cylinder Misfire code and rough engine starts. After having it looked at and doing a tune up, a week later there was no heat, the coolant warning light went on and temperature gauge was fluctuating while on the highway and had to pull off.

In September of 2022, my flex plate on my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium broke. This is a major component of the engine and $2,000+ fix. I was told by the mechanic that other Ford Edge’s were experiencing this, it was not a recall. Well, about a year and half later the flex plate broke AGAIN. This time with me driving down the road. The car completely stopped. I’ve never been more afraid in my life of getting hit. Long story short, after bringing my car in AGAIN for this issue, I was told by the mechanic that though they can replace the flex plate free of charge because it was under warranty, it damaged other components in the engine to the point where it’s inevitable that my ford will be undrivable soon. They also told me that there was a recall out for this issue so that I can be...
