2017 FORD EDGE Engine Problems

(EcoBoost Engine) I took my Ford Edge to Art Hill Ford in Merrillville, Indiana because of coolant lost, overheating, engine sputtering and check engine light. The truck was diagnosed with coolant entering the number 3 cylinder. Cost to repair $5,725.00. The truck needs an engine. I was told by a service adviser that this is a problem that is common and known by ford. That Ford had previously help some of their customers with the cost to repair this problem. I was given a service number to call. I called the number and was told that ford would not help in any way with this problem. Doing research this is an ongoing problem with the head gaskets for this engine. Known by ford for years. This problem causing loss of engine power or failure, overheating, and or fire.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while accelerating, exhaust fumes were entering the cabin of the vehicle through the A/C vents. The contact stated that it was difficult to breathe inside the vehicle. The contact stated that the windows would be rolled down for better breathing while in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the truck led gasket and other unknown parts. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 400.

The engine in our 2017 Ford Edge leaks coolant into the cylinders, causing misfire and posing a fire hazard. We took our vehicle into the shop due to a check engine light and low coolant warning that came on randomly and were informed we needed a new engine. The check engine light never blinked to alert us of the misfiring cylinder. The mechanic noted that cylinder 1 was "full of coolant." The service advisor cited a technical service bulletin 22-2224 that detailed the defect of the engine on several models of vehicles across several years. There is no recall on the defect. The service advisor stated that Ford has been aware of the issue for years and redesigned the engine as a result. We were never notified about the potential issue.

Fluid intrusion into the Ford 2017 Edge engine when coolant leaks into the cylinders, it can leads to corrosion, misfires, engine failure, and fires. I just had a fluid intrusion into my engine and the dealership told me it was safe to drive. I was have near stalling of my car and my check engine light was on. My Edge has now been at the dealership for almost 4 weeks waiting for an engine replacement.

The car was burning antifreeze. So we tore the engine apart thinking it was a head gasket and found the cylinder the antifreeze was going into was also cracked. I think that is why Ford is making people to pay for a new engine. For the antifreeze go into the cylinder that have the Cleveland engine. And they don't what to pay for the defect in the engine.

The check engine light came on so I took it to do a diagnostic test and it said that it was a miss fire and the description came back that the spark plugs and coils needed to be replaced. Was able to replace them and the check engine light turned off. While sitting in a drive through with my 3 children in the car, the warning lights came on notifying that the engine was over heating. Went straight to a mechanic and they said that I had zero coolant in the car. They added coolant and I went about the day. 3 weeks later I turned on the car and after 10 minutes the warning lights came on that it was over heating again. Was able to get home and looked under the hood and the coolant was totally gone again.

My truck is only 5 years with 54,500 miles and the engine light came on. Code 302 came up. I spent 400 to change the spark plugs and the ignition coil #2. Light went off and came back on. Next the dealership said the Coolant is leaking into the cylinders and I would need a new engine. $10,000. Contact Ford because we can't help you. My warranty just ended 45 days ago. Now What!

2.0L ecotec engine code 420 made in Cleveland, Ohio. Coolant intrusion into the cylinders can cause engine to overheat or run rough and shut off at highway speeds causing an accident. Ford is well aware of this issue and the fix is to replace the engine at the cost of the consumer. Estimates are upwards of $8,000 for the repair to be done.

I have on my car for about a year now and when I first received it about a month into it I noticed this first issue. I would be driving and all the sudden I would loose acceleration. All dash lights that could come on did. This includes BLIS system failure. Transmission failure. Engine coolant temp failure. Traction control failure. Etc etc. The vehicle enters a limp mode I believe, and in doing so it very harshly shifts down through the transmission gears as I am slowing down. This happened a second time a month after the first incident as I was entering a highway between a bridge where I only had half my car width of space to pull over on both sides. In a blind bend, in a very dangerous place to pull over. I switched to 93 octane in hopes this would fix the issue, and for...

Head gasket failure. Began around 4/13/2022 at mileage 63,988. Was confirmed by Spirit Ford Dundee,Michigan via scope down a piston chamber to detect fluid. Vehicle coolant dropped down to where heat output was affected. Had white plumes from exhaust. Believe this was premature for this type of failure. Elected to have repair at Tanner Automotive Adrian,Michigan. See attached invoice for $2,270.61. Am not interested in compensation. Discussed this with Ford who declined. Simply wish to make record as Ford is aware of this issue; otherwise they would not have issued tech service bulletin for same.If NHTSA issues recall for same; would then participate in all benefits deemed by NHTSA. Vehicle is titled in my wife's name: Sheila Bork Bowman 10550 Pentecost Hwy, Onsted,Mi.49265

Car's brakes went to floor when engaged. Driver pumped them several times to slow car. Engine light came on; took car to mechanic and brake repair was made, but engine light kept appearing. Then the car would not crank and was towed to the mechanic and the battery was replaced. Finally, the car's body/wheels appeared to be shaking when driving and the engine light appeared again. Car was taken to a Ford repair center where service department informed us that the engine needed to be replaced due to coolant leak. The car is driveable but unsafe and requires expensive engine replacement. After doing research, this appears to be a well known problem with the Ford Edge and consumers aren't receiving adequate information about the extent of the problem or safety concerns. A recall needs to be issued for this defect and Ford needs to take responsibility to fix the problem.

vehicle is misfiring and coolant leaking into cylinders causing engine coolant over temperature and vehicle stalls out my vehicle is available for inspection this is unsafe because of stalls and overheats a ford dealership has confirmed the misfiring - this is second time at ford dealership check engine light started going on and off when problem first started

Misfire #2, COOLANT leak into cylinder head, no warning, blown head gasket.

Check engine light indicates cylinder misfire. Repair folks assume its spark plug related. Coolant is leaking into the engine causing this and by the time it is figured out the engine needs replaced! It is a known and well documented problem with these vehicles. I believe that FORD should be held liable for the cost of these engine replacements. It appears to happen around 60-65k miles. Unfortunately, owners of these vehicles are unaware of the issue until it happens to them. This is exactly what happened to me and I did research after the fact. I would implore for FORD to issue a recall and pay for these new engines.

After taking my vehicle to the shop, it was discovered that engine coolant is leaking into cylinder 3 causing a misfire. Was told that I will have to replace engine with 94,000 miles at a cost of $8500 of my own money. There is a TSB out there, but it is not covered by Ford. Extremely frustrating.

Leak in the eco booster coolant system of my 2017 Ford Edge. Our local Ford dealership, Riverside Ford, will not return our calls and have given a ridiculous timeframe of 3 months or more before they will even look at it.

Dealer states there is a hole in the #3 cylinder wall.

Engine encountered cold start misfire code 105.95, cylinder 1 misfire and misfire detected on startup, PO 301 and 316. Coolant leaking into cylinder, Ford TSB 19-2208 is to replace the Long Block Engine Assembly. Engine has 93511 miles and is not covered under warranty, will cost an exorbitant amount to replace. Ford should issue a recall due to the severity as this effects many different model engines.

In reference to the nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/mc 10169807. My vehicle is in this issue and Ford is not assisting in resolving this .

Bought vehicle new at a dealer, never one problem and every service completed at the dealership. No warning, 2 days ago I went to start my car and it idled then shut off. Check engine light popped on, quickly after another screen popped up and said coolant above temperature. Immediate drove a mile to the ford dealership to be advised they could not see me, but maybe get to it next week. But, I should.not drive it off the lot. Long story short, had it towed to my home dealership about 120 miles away, they looked the following day only to advise coolant was leaking into the engine and this is a known issue! Of course, warranty expired 5k miles ago ( 5 months) and they are asking me to replace the entire engine at my cost for about $8500! The car is just over 4 years old, 2017 edge....

Known and reported by many others issue regarding coolant intrusion into engine cylinders, making engine inoperable and requiring complete replacement.

I believe the component that is causing the intermittent issue is the throttle body, however the issue is very hard to diagnose as it is very intermittent. There has been another case on the same engine (just a different year) that I have found online. While entering a highway on multiple occasions now, the vehicles engine entered a limp mode, and the entire dash had lit up with service messages. The Wrench, Check Engine, Service AdvanceTrac, Blindspot Monitoring, and many more lights were present. This is unsafe because in both situations I was unable to accelerate to get out of the way of oncoming traffic let alone safely pull my car to the side of the road. In one instance I had to pull off on the only shoulder I had just as I was entering a major highway and ended up being half in the lane of oncoming traffic...

1. The engine assembly failed, the vehicle is at the repair shop waiting for a new engine. 2. When starting the car, there was white smoke pouring out of the car 3. Ford and 2 other repair shops have confirmed the issue, coolant leaking into cylinders 4. Vehicle has been inspected by Ford, they are the manufacturer of the motor 5. The check engine light came on, however that was after the white smoke was coming out of the exhaust(not sure where it was coming out from, my garage was filled and the odor was foul)

MY 2017 FORD EDGE WITH A 4 CYLINDER 2.0 ECOBOOST ENGINE AND 81,000 MILES NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, AS PER MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. I RECENTLY HAD COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE THROUGH THE CYLINDERS. ALL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WORK, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, HAVE BEEN DONE WHEN REQUIRED. Daytona beach Automall DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOTALLY MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $5500. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WITH FORD ECOBOOST ENGINES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF IT FOR YEARS. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THEN IT'S THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT WHEN THEY HAVE KNOWN FOR SOME TIME THAT THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE.

2017 Edge titanium at roughly 70k miles had check engine light come on then engine coolant temp light. Checked coolant and it was nearly empty. Filled up and within one day it was back to low. Took to two places and both said head gasket issue, with coolant seeping into engine. Both said long block replacement required. This long thread is exactly what happened and seems to be a consistent issue which is very poor on Ford’s part - https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t57176_ds1047694

P0303 Code. 3rd cylinder misfire. Not spark or injector related.. vehicle only has 46k miles. Coolant seeping into cylinder. Known issue on ford forums. Required engine replacement. They need to make a recall.

Sparks and coils were missing and replaced multiple times. Brought vehicle to Veterans Ford in Tampa, FL, and coolant is leaking into the cylinders - they have advised this is a known issue, and no fix is in place. Required a new engine on a 5 year old vehicle with 85,000 miles.

My engine light came on for the first time on a Thursday, Jan 13, 2022. I had an appointment for an oil change with an independent service center on Saturday (1/15/22) & asked them to do a diagnostic check prior to the oil change. They found a code for PO303 Misfire on cylinder 3. They recommended a coolant pressure test per TSB 19-2208. The test was done the following Monday (1/17/22) and they found coolant leaking into cylinder. Replacement of the long block engine assembly per TSB 19-2208 was recommended. Engine was replaced by independent service center (completed 1/25/22). My safety & the safety of others was put at a high risk with this defect in the engine. When the coolant pressure test was done, it took less than 1 hour for all of the coolant to leak into the cylinder. Prior to my engine light coming on, I had...

In early December, the vehicle was at approximately 80,000 miles and scheduled for an oil change. A CEL illuminated the day before the oil change. Firestone changed the oil and advised that two codes came on during a code scan: P0302 and P0316. I made an appointment at Complete Car Car for their first available appointment a week out. In the intervening week, the vehicle had a rough idle for the first thirty seconds after startup. The second mechanic pulled the same codes and put a scope into the engine. The scope confirmed that there was a crack in the No. 2 cylinder that was allowing coolant into the engine. They advised that the car would likely need a new engine. They provided TSB 19-2346 and recommended I take the vehicle to the Ford dealership for further investigation. Classic Ford states that the vehicle will require a new engine at...

A warning lamp for the power train came on while traveling on the highway (Wrench indicator). We stopped to check the owners manual for the meaning of the wrench indicator. After seeing it was for the power train, we started back up and headed towards Edgefield (where we live) and get to the closest Ford dealer. After starting the vehicle back up, the warning lamp was no longer lit. While accelerating to highway speeds entering the highway, the engine flex plate gave out and all power from the engine was lost. The vehicle still kept power to the electrical systems (Power steering, A/C, lights, etc.) but no power was being pushed to the wheels. Had the incident happened at full highway speeds, it is unknown what damage could have occurred. This is the assumption from myself due to the symptoms provided from the vehicle at the halt. Symptoms include: Grinding/Rattling...

head gasket engineering defect - failed. - coolant leaking in cylinder - engine cracked - only 67,000 miles - was under warranty on years but over on mileage by 7,000 - refused to assist with cost of replacing engine - out of pocket cost close to 11,000 - 2,000 (recouped 1500) was for diagnosis from local garage and 9,000 for engine at Ford Dealership. No assistance with rental car, as well. Replacing engine lead time is 3 months! This is the only vehicle in household. Ford is aware of the engineering defect - has recently revised engineering to correct - a recall should be performed on cars from 2016 thru 2018 with Ford. The consumer should NOT be responsible for an engineering defect. These problems can surface as quick as 20,000 miles. Again! Coolant leak in cylinder destroyed the engine. Where are the Technical Service Bulletins on these vehicles!!? Prestine...

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the coolant had been escaping from the vehicle without warning. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, a large amount of white smoke with a bluish hue began to emit from the exhaust pipe without warning. The contact then took the vehicle to McLarty Ford (3232 Summerhill Rd, Texarkana, TX 75503) where the mechanic informed her that coolant had been leaking into the oil reservoir and that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact then drove the vehicle to her father's home and the next day, the vehicle failed to start after multiple attempts. The contact had the vehicle towed to Elliott Ford (2055 Burton Rd, Mt Pleasant, TX 75455) where they confirmed that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed her that there were no recalls on...

The check engine light came on summer 2021. Message P0302. It was diagnosed by the Ford dealer as coolant leaking into the engine which could lead to engine failure when driving. Entire engine needed to be replaced.

My car stated hesitating when you’re trying to accelerate and slightly shaking a couple days before my check engine light turned on. I took it to a local mechanic which informed me they did a test and my coolant mixed with the oil. They made a call to Ford and was informed that the only option was to replace the whole engine. He was unable to repair it because understaffed went to two other mechanics and they also were unable to help. My car is now with Ford dealership for more than 2 weeks and was just again diagnosed for $159 and they once again confirmed I will need a whole new engine at just over 70,000 miles $8400 and no idea when they will be able to get the parts in… could be 3 months.

the coolant leaked onto the coil of the motor & now my motor has to be replaced-extended warranty ran out & now looking at 8500-9000k to replace engine. my car is in immaculate condition, well maintained & I paid 40,000k when I purchased in 2017- has 84,000k miles.I have read online at CarGurus complaint after complaint of the same exact problem. The technician at Freedom Ford advised that this has happened to numerous 2.0L Ecoboost motors from 2017-2019 & now the motors have been changed & the problem no longer occurs after 2019. He says that he knows of no recalls. Ford is very well aware of the problem & should do a recall- we paid good money for these cars & they should last longer.

2.0 Ecoboost engine failure. Driving car, started smoking, check engine light came on, lost power, pulled to the side of the road to avoid being hit by traffic, vehicle stalled and stopped. Engine had to be replaced.

My car started rough idling, about a week after that the check engine light came on. We took it to get checked out, the code was for a misfire on cylinder 2. The technician performed an inspection and informed us that we needed new spark plugs and ignition coil. After installing the new parts, the technician noticed coolant inside the cylinders and the engine, there was also white smoke coming out of the tailpipe when starting the vehicle. Our technician did some more research and came across a service bulletin from Ford (19-2346) regarding 2.0 L Ecoboost engines. Our Ford Edge falls under the service bulletin. The technician informed us that the only fix would be a completely new engine which we had to pay for. We have submitted this to our warranty company and have received partial coverage for the repair and parts. We were without the car for...
