2017 FORD EDGE Engine Problems

Coolant leaked into cylinder. Ruined engine left at dealership after being replaced with a new long block. The vehicle could have stopped running at any point. Several Ford Edge SUVs have had this exact problem. My Ford Edge was only inspected by the Ford dealership service department via diagnostic testing. The check engine light came on and I took the earliest service appointment available. Previous to the check engine light illuminating I did notice a slight hesitation in acceleration at approximately 30 mph.

Coolant intrusion on cylinder #3. Check engine light came on after rough idle. Issue verified by certified Ford dealer. This is a safety issue if the vehicle stops on a highway and is undrivable. It is a well known issue and deserves a recall.

Overheating, rough idol, smoking out exhust, left stranded with family. Coolant leak into cylinder causing complete engine failure. Known problem with ecoboost 2.0 yet no recall. New engine required with refurbished parts to fix failed 2.0 engine from shop.

My check engine light came on and I had it tested and it was a #2 misfire. Along with the check engine light was a rattling in the front end of the vehicle, when I would start the car. I changed the spark plugs, then the check engine light went away. Weeks later my check engine late came on again with the same rattling but this time it was worse. Within two days my engine over heating light came on. Myself and a friend checked for fluids and all my coolant was empty. We filled it up and then the next morning it was below the minimum fill line again. I took it into Ford dealership. When they looked into the check engine light they found coolant intrusion in Cylinder number 3 due to a faulty block.

Bought from a used lot on the dealership, 3 days later a light came on, a month later the engine failed. The coolant was leaking into the engine. $9000+ estimated repair to replace engine.

The engine is failing due to a coolant intrusion due to manufacturing defects in the cylinder walls. This issue was discovered after the check engine light came on in the SUV. The engine defects are well known and Ford will not issue a recall.

My vehicle has the same issues related to a recall where the coolant leaked into a cylinder effecting the engine which now has to be replaced. The problem is that this recall is vin specific which eliminates my vehicle from this recall. It is my opinion that this needs to be reviewed because somewhere along the lines somebody dropped the ball. How can my vehicle not fall under this recall due to a number?

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact's son-in-law replaced the spark plugs. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

Check engine light came on car which had less than 60,000 miles Ford dealer inspected vehicle and determined the ecoboost engine had a coolant leak and needed $9,000 in repairs because the coolant from the faulty piece was leaking into the cylinders

We have a 2017 ford edge that has developed a coolant intrusion in cylinder 2 which the dealer said will cost $9800.00. The vehicle only has 72,000 miles on it and I’ve seen several reports of this same problem on the NHTSA website. Has this problem had a recall or possibly a future recall? I realize there is not one on our particular vehicle and was wondering why. We are concerned for our safety as we are seniors and if the engine fails what we will do.

Upon starting the engine, there is a shake and a rough idle for a few moments. Check engine light comes on and off randomly. Each time code reads as engine misfire cylinder number 2. I have replaced spark plugs and Ignition coil. Just hit 77,300 miles. Seems to be a pretty common issue. How is there no recall yet? Today on top of that issue, temperature gauge light up and checked coolant and was very low.

Engine shakes upon start up after been sitting overnight and sometimes after was driven then cooled off, check engine light with code P0303- misfiring cylinder # 3, low coolant message on, took it for diagnosis and they say that there is coolant intrusion on cylinder # 3 due to internal engine failure, no prior overheating was observed.

My car initially gave me a check engine light. My coolant was found to be low and coolant was replaced which resolved the check engine light immediately. There were no more issues for approximately 1 week, at that time my car started to emit a white smoke from its exhaust, my check engine light turned on again at about the same time. My car was taken to the dealership where there was found to be coolant intrusion on cylinder #2. My entire engine needed to be replaced. It also took approximately 3-4 weeks for Ford to ship the engine to the dealership due to there being a shortage on engines. Ford was contacted by the dealership on my behalf and I was told there was no recall and nothing they could do for me.

The cooling system on my 2017 Ford Edge with 2.0 liter Ecoboost engine (currently with 61,000 miles) is not working properly due to coolant leaking internally in the engine from the engine head into cylinder number 2. This causes a variety of misfire codes to be set periodically on the vehicle, from P0316 (misfire during first 1000 revolutions) to P0302 (cylinder 2 misfire). The internal leak also causes coolant level in the reservoir to slowly drop, potentially leading to engine seizure and loss of vehicle control due to loss of power steering, although we have not experienced this ourselves due to knowledge of the nature of the problem - I am constantly checking coolant level. The coolant leak did, however, cause number 2 spark plug to fail causing a flashing MIL light, rendering the car undriveable until I replaced the plug. Ford Motor Company is aware of the open-deck cooling...

While driving with 97K miles on it, vehicle started to stutter. The check engine light came on. We took the vehicle to a local repair shop. They replaced the evaporate purge solenoid. The coolant was low as well. They did a pressure test but could not find a leak and told us to watch it. Just before 100k miles, vehicle started to stutter again. We took it to a Ford Dealership. They found the coolant low and a cracked engine block.

The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled while depressing the accelerator pedal, with the check engine warning light intermittently flashing on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician discovered that coolant had leaked into an engine cylinder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Coolant leaking into the cylinders. Was told by dealership this is a known design flaw with the eco drive engines. Car needs a new engine and only has 58K miles

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated.

The contact stated that on the third day, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the spark plugs needed to be replaced due to a misfire in cylinder #2. The failure persisted a week later. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.

The coolant/antifreeze leaks into the cylinders, after further research, this is a common defect to almost all vehicles of this make and model

Check engine light went on and car engine chugged upon starting. Took the car in to local mechanic shop and they ran diagnostics showing engine misfire. Replaced spark plugs and 1 ignition coil. Light went off and no chugging for 3 days and then the car engine began to chug again upon starting and the check engine light came back on. Took back to mechanic, said some type of wire was loose and mentioned that there was oil where there shouldn't be and apparently they saw it before. Light went off and chugging stopped. The next day or so, the light came on again and there was a white smoke coming out of exhaust pipes that had a very strange and strong odor. Took back to mechanic and they moved a coil. Said diagnostics showed battery was low so I had the battery replaced. Next day, car didn't want to...

My 2017 Ford Edge has a 2.0 ecoboost engine with a known defect problem. Antifreeze is leaking into the cylinder which could cause it to overheat and a potential fire. It has been checked at two separate FORD dealerships, and they both confirm the same issue. The yellow multi dash lamp has gone on and stayed on since the incident occurred. The first incident was on 4-3-2024.

Check engine light came on. Checked it and reset it. Did not reoccur. Two days later high engine temperature light can on. I checked coolant level and found it low. No evidence of leakage was found where car is parked in the garage. Took car to ford dealer after reading my car problems were similar to many ford edges with the same engine. Ford dealer explained ford had issued a bulletin to their dealers that this type engine could experience coolant leakage into the cylinders due to an engine design error in the second generation ford edge engine. This problem requires a complete engine replacement. Ford does not offer any financial help to pay for fixing this problem. My cost will be over $8500. There are many, many reports of similar owners having this problem.

2017 Ford Edge was rattling with starting it in the morning. We received a backdated letter about a flexplate recall. We took car in to check it out. Service guy said to go home, “you would know if it was the flexplate”. Then car was rattling a little more and check engine light came on, so I brought the car and the letter back in and same service guy said he would check it out. Charged me $764 to change out 4 spark plugs and an ignition coil. Said car was fine to drive and that they checked all cylinders etc. But they were going to ask for Ford approval to replace flexplate….. They called that it was approved and they kept car for many days and said it was fixed. Last week (two months and only 500 miles later), check engine light came on again. We took it back...

Coolant leaking into engine and causing it to overheat.

I took my 2017 Ford Edge to the dealership I purchased from (Eddie Pruitt Ford) due to the check engine light being on. I was told that the engine needed to be replaced due a coolant intrusion in #2cylinder. This is a known issue with this engine, as a TSB was provided to Ford mechanics. . The codes were P0301 and P0304, which means there was a defect in the engine that would allow coolant intrusion into the cylinder. This is a widespread problem and should be recalled by Ford.

Motor has coolant intrusion per FORD technical service bulletin. Vehicle show P0303 miss fire cylinder 3 code, low coolant, and white exhaust from the tail pipes. Issue confirmed by for Technical Service bulletin. 22-2229 issued/ revised June of 2022 pertaining to 2015-2018 Edge Vehicles with 2.0L Ecoboost engine . Flaw is in the cooling deck around the cylinders prematurely wearing causing coolant to leak into the cylinder head. triggering misfires and potential engine failure while in operation. Spoke with Ford and they stated the vehicle is out of warranty therefore they will not do anything about the issue.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? -The Engine had to be replaced due to coolant and oil leaking through the 4th cylinder into the engine itself, effectively killing it. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? -The car unexpectedly shook very violently, and would not properly accelerate due to the problem. Smoke clouded the street as I drove to the repair shop - and other drivers were worried for mine and others safety. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? -The problem was confirmed by an independent mechanic as well as a Ford dealer, who told me this is a common occurrence with this specific engine, though there is no recall. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? -The Ford dealer...

At about 99000miles the engine light came on, resulting in a diagnostic coe P0302 ( Cylinder #2 missfire). This caused the vehicle to have trouble starting and the front end to shake. Soon a warning light indicatingh the engine was very hot iluminated after checking spark plugs, coils, throtle body, air filter, I notice my antifreeze coolant reservoir was empty, however there was no sigh of leak. I been driving the vehicle since then requiring to constantly add coolant to the reservoir. I have not taking the vehicle to the dealer for this particular reason. My vehicle experiences all the synptoms for a leak into to the cylinder. I can not afford to pay for the replacement of an engine or for repairs cuased by a poor design by Ford. I dont kmnow where to go to get this fix

The engine coolant leaks into the pistons due to cracked cylinder wall Car is goes through coolant very quickly which may cause the engine to overheat or catch fire. There is no noticeable leak from outside the vehicle and is not obvious the coolant gets low/empty very quickly Vehicle has been inspected by Ford Dealership and a third part mechanic, both confirmed the coolant leak and cracked cylinder wall A check engine light came on, but it was for misfires in the engine, not identifying the coolant leak. (Coolant in the cylinder caused car to misfire on start up)

Have misfiring when starting car -Had check engine light come on with code p302 ( cylinder 2 misfire). I had the spark plugs replaced, problem continued then had the ignition coil in cylinder 2 replaced to diagnose if it was firing problem or in the motor. Turns out the long block (engine )will need replace do to ford coolant leak in cylinder ,witch may cause overheating- engine loss - as bad as engine fires. Whats worse is that the new engine is the same 2.0 ecoboost engine with high chane of same issue happening again. All of this was over a 2 month period with a certified mechanic trying to diagnose every time. All active recalls have been done and done by ford dealer also. The potential of a fire or engine loss in any of these ecoboost motors is high a risk.

My 2017 Ford Edge Titanium is in Pep Boys shop having the engine block replaced due to coolant leaking into the cylinders. This issue has been diagnosed by my mechanic and could have been a possible fire hazard. The engine overheats to extreme temperatures causing the engine to catch fire. The engine light came on while I was driving car. The engine also alerted me by voice in the car that it was reducing my speed and power to the the motor due to overheating. After 3 different mechanics assessed the situation it was determined that the engine coolant was leaking into the cylinders. The engine has been replaced now. This has apparently affected other models.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that upon approaching the vehicle, she observed an oil leak underneath the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the plastic oil pan. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 38,000.

Engine light came on. Took vehicle to Villa Ford of Orange. They hooked up a code reader and said 2 codes came up: misfire and spark plug. They couldn’t look at it that day so I took it to Fullerton Ford, they said come back first thing The next morning. Took it back To Fullerton Ford, they looked at it and told me there coolant in the engine and the engine was blown. I bought this vehicle brand new 7 years ago. I only have 42,131 miles on it. It is not out of warranty by mileage but is out of warranty by years. All of the maintenance has been done by Villa Ford of Orange. There has been no negligence on my part. And no reason for the engine to have blown with only 42,000 miles on it. This is definitely a defective engine and have heard of others...

Engine coolant leaking into engine block causing it to overheat.

My check engine light has come on twice in the past month. I was told the first time it was my spark plugs and that possibly coolant was leaking into the head gasket. They fixed my spark plugs and the light went off. A month later the light comes on. Turns out coolant is leaking into the head gasket which is a KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM IN FORD CARS! When I called Ford they were not shocked to hear this. They even told me how often they see it and the guy I talked to said he doesn't understand how there is not a recall. I was told how extensive and expensive the repairs are and that I should just get a new car. My car is well maintained, less than 100,000 miles and less than 10 years old. I have gotten 3 other opinions from mechanics who have said the...

The coolant is leaking into the engine. This has been reported more than 900 times and Ford has yet to issue a recall or make people aware of the issue. This can be hazardous breaking down on the highway and especially when traveling alone with areas having no cell service. On 4/4/2024, I was on my way to the office when my car started overheating out of nowhere and went into low power mode. Cars zooming past me because I couldn’t keep up is very dangerous. I was stuck and couldn’t get over anywhere. On 4/10/24, I’m told to get proof that I had routine maintenance done to my car and on 4/11, I was told the engine needed replacing. It was acknowledged that this is a known issue.

Engine replaced for the first time on october 2023 and a second time new engine again in nov. 2023 This is wrong!!

Purchased 2017 Ford Edge new from Ford dealership. Vehicle maintained by same dealer since new. At approximately 81950 miles the check engine light appeared. Error codes indicated cylinders 2 and 4 were misfiring. All four spark plugs and coils were changed and engine light cleared. Approximately 5 lays later it reappeared and engine ran ruff. Took vehicle to a ASE certified shop that ran a diagnosis indicating several codes. Further investigation revealed water in number 2 cylinder. Was informed by shop tech that there is no repair as engine block design is faulty. Returned to Ford dealer and was informed that engine would need replaced at a cost of $10,000. Drove vehicle for a few more days (approx. 100 miles) during which on 3 occasions the engine would suddenly run ruff and stop resulting loss of power steering and brakes. - engine failure, yes available for inspection - engine stopping,...

I have a 2017 Ford Edge and have the issue of intrusion of coolant into the cylinders, which I learned from some research is a known problem that this model is having. It initially was a check engine light. I brought it to an oil change place and they ran the code and said I needed a tuneup. I got a tuneup and the light returned. It caused the engine to overheat. Luckily, I was not stranded but could have easily been stranded with my grandkids in the car on a roadway. The only resolution is a complete engine replacement costing me $8,000 because Ford has not issued a recall on this known problem and is not standing behind their product.

I got got the classic Cyl#2 misfire a month after buy it from a local Ford dealer, threw money at it coils wiring harness plugs, took it back to them and they told me it needs a new engine. The engine has coolant leaking into cyl #2 causing the code. The dealership suggested I Trade the edge in for another one, yeah just got stuck with a $19,000 loan for this one I need another $19,000 on top? I already pay $381 a month that would double my monthly bill. so my choices are slim to none. I don't want a boat anchor or a paper weight I have to get a loan to replace the engine for $6,200, To my understanding there are more than 750,000 vehicle affected by the flawed engine design. They knew about the flaw 2019 and redesigned the engine at least 3 more times. There...

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 60 MPH, and the coolant warning light illuminated.

The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 75,108.

Coolant is getting into the cylinder 1. There is a TSB for the issue 19-2208 which Ford does not seem to be concerned with and engines are needing replaced at an early age just out of the 60,000 warranty.
