2015 Ford Edge: engine overheating

Filed Oct 12, 2026 · Engine · AZ

I got engine coolant leaking into cylinder #2 with error p0302. Car running rough and will not accelerate. I have been told by Ford this is a known design flaw they fixed in later models but don't take responsibility. It was a safety issue for me when the car wasn't accelerating on the freeway when needed.

Car is running rough white smoke from exhaust and coolant level reservoir losing coolant

My 2015 Ford Edge suddenly turned into a nightmare on what started as a normal drive. I noticed the temperature gauge climbing quickly, the engine started overheating, and then the check engine light came on. Almost at the same time, the engine began feeling like it was slipping—power dropped off, it hesitated and ran rough under acceleration, almost as if the transmission were slipping, but it was the engine itself struggling from poor lubrication. Turns out coolant had gotten into the oil (a pretty common headache with these 3.5L V6 models, often from a failing internal water pump). The mixture turned my oil into a gross, milky sludge that couldn't lubricate the engine properly anymore, leading to overheating and a slipping sensation as things started to bind up inside. I had to pull over quickly before it got even worse—definitely not something I want to go through again.
