The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that she had initially noticed oil leaking onto her garage pavement. As the failure persisted, the contact brought the issue to the attention of the dealer who informed her that the defect was related to improper service rendered by the independent mechanic that serviced her oil change. As the failure worsened, the same independent mechanic informed her that the oil leak could potentially lead to a vehicle fire. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who then discovered that an oil leak had leaked from the seals in the reservoir; the vehicle was repaired. The contact also stated that upon start of the vehicle, the engine would vibrate without warning. The contact brought the vehicle to Rowe Auburn (699 Center St, Auburn, ME 042100) where they diagnosed the vehicle with a defective flex plate. The contact discovered that the flex plate had been placed under recall however, her vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at approximately 40 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated and started flashing. The contact stated that as she slowed for a traffic light the vehicle started to idle rough and the vehicle started to shake. The contact stated that when she came to a stop the vehicle would not move forward when she took her foot off of the brake pedal and depressed the accelerator pedal. The contact drove the vehicle to her residence. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that coolant had intruded into cylinder #1 and #3.

The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
I bought this vehicle and within 2 hours engine light came on. It was diagnosed cylinder 1 misfire. After spending $700 later on spark plugs, engine coil pack, oil change, rear differential, and engine oil flush, it was diagnosed with a coolant leak into the engine. Within 3 weeks of buying the vehicle i now have to replace the whole engine. This is costly- and shouldn’t be happening. Ford should be replacing this free of cost with as many issues and people have this problem rather than just submitting a service bulletin.
TSB 19-2346 coolant intrusion to cylinders. Latent Factory Defect that has no preventative maintainability. Only cure us to replace the whole engine that cost over 8000$ dollars.
EcoBoost engine has a design flaw in the engine block and cylinder head that allow coolant to leaks into the cylinder
Internal water pump failer - the water pump on my vehicle failed and began leaking. This is my wife's vehicle and if I had not noticed the issue (which is not easy to notice) then the water pump will leak water into the engine and cause the motor to lock up or seize without warning.
Driving on the interstate at 60 miles an hour the vehicle randomly lost all propulsion and died, which caused an immediate quick slowdown and almost caused a 4 car/semi pileup. Causing me to hit the ditch to avoid being killed by a semi. Vehicle no longer starts. Appears to be a faulty flexplate that caused engine and transmission issues to which Ford has been no help. FORD has only recalled the 2017 edge 2.0 for the flexplate issues despite the same engine being used in the 2015-2018 models. Countless mentions of faulty flex plates in the model year range with the same engine but Ford refuses to address the mass issue.
The flex plate on the vehicle has broken twice within 10000 miles. This is most certainly a manufacturer defect. The vehicle then runs rough, has a loss of power along with transmission shifting issues and can nearly die or not accelerate properly while driving, leading to several near collisions which could result serious injury or death.
I was driving on highway and noticed a bit of rough engine noise, check engine light came on, and gas mileage dropped. I took 2015 edge to my mechanic who stated #2 cylinder was taking on coolant and engine needed to be replaced due to problems. He also stated his mechanic chatroom has numerous comments concerning this same problem with Ford engines. I went on CAR Guru chatroom and on 1st page there were 58 people complaining about the same thing from a year ago. Many found out there is a Ford TSB(Technical Service Bulliten) sent to their techs concerning this common problem causing engine replacements. Engine can blow the head at highway speeds and God knows what can happen. Do we need deaths caused by this before action is taken? PLEASE HELP!
Automobile was making a loud rattling noise. More noticeable at idle. The rattling noise then became loudest with start-up. Temperature gauge increased, but did not get to overheat as the vehicle was discontinued from driving. Towed to Kenny Ross Ford Route 30 @ Blackhill Road Adamsburg, PA 15611. Initial evaluation done by Kenny Ross Ford: Cracked Flexplate. Further evaluation is currently being done for further damage with pictures taken. This problem has been well made to FORD in 2015-2018 FORD EDGE models with technical service bulletins issued. Class action lawsuits are being conducted. There is no reason for a cracked flexplate except a manufacturer error. Communication has been poor with Kenny Ross Ford, as phone calls are not answered or voicemail messages not returned. Thank you.
My panoramic vista sunroof has cracked. The cracks are wavy and everywhere on the rear passenger side. This cracked at 52k miles I also have just replaced the flex plate that cost me $2,275 and 1 month without driving my vehicle. I have 68k miles on this vehicle currently. My transmission fluid was BLACK when they replaced my flexplate as well.
Car purchased as a CPO vehicle with 40,318 miles. Soon after I had regular maintenance service on 3/27/21 at 47,350 miles the car began to drag and the wheel on the driver side had a harder drive. I reported to my Ford service Dept and finally got an appointment on 5/07/21 at 47,921 miles and they could not duplicate the car’s reported actions. So thinking all was ok,I took a road trip stating at 48,500 miles and at 49,310 miles the engine light came on initial code 301 by auto zone power train problem. Called local Ford Service Dept their findings, code P0301 and P0316 and I need a Long Block,when I goggle it,it translated into a ENGINE. I decline and they gave me 1 spark plug and gallon container of antifreeze so I can get back home. And told me to check reservoir at every fill up. I put a little over 9,000 miles and this car needs a new engine,that’s ludicrous. I did some research once I got home. For dealers received a month before they sold me this car a warning of engine problems where the antifreeze was going into the cylinders causing a misfire. I have an appointment with my local dealer,but from the way the car is acting the prognosis doesn’t seem any different from the out of town Ford service dept. How can they do this and not inform the customer.
Loss of power, car dies while driving down the road. There is no warning and it is completely random, but has happened several times putting me in very dangerous situations. The last time it happened was May 31, 2021
Engine light came on checked it with diagnostic reader at o'reilly's, indicated cylinder #4 was misfiring. Heater stopped working. Checked coolant it was very low. Filled coolant reservoir. Next time drove vehicle engine got hot. Pulled over immediately and checked coolant it was empty not leaking. Research indicates this is happening to a lot of people and could be very dangerous only fix is to replace motor. Ford edge 2015
Leaking engine oil pan has been replaced twice and is scheduled for a 3rd replacement in less than 18 months, this is a problem for my home and the environment with this hazardous leaking problem.
Noticed substance in garage coming from truck that was oily. Brought to my service center and it was concluded that there is an oil leak from the engine oil pan rtv seal. Apparently this is due to a lack of rtv adhesion. How is this not a recall? This is a major repair and expensive at that. I just want to understand more as this affects more than just my model and year ford vehicle.
I bought this car at 58k, in 2019 I took it into ford when a check engine light came up. Ford told me it was coolant intrusion in the cylinder and it would be a 7k repair.
It is making a loud diesel noise on idle or less than 10 miles per he. When going faster the noice goes away it is doing this all the time
Coolant was low on 11.27.2020 only noted due to loss of heat in cabin. On 12.10.2020 coolant heat did not work again checked coolant low again took to dealer determined "coolant intrusion into engine cylinder 3" estemated repair cost 8k dollars
I have what appears to be a coolant leak with any warning whatsoever I purchased the car used (one owner) 3 months ago
The flex plate/flywheel has now failed for the 3rd time in less than 2 years. This is confirmed by an authorized ford dealership and still has no recall on this part that is clearly a manufacturer defect. The damaged flex plate has caused my 2015 ford edge to have a terrible rattling noise and causes concern for safety if this part where to break apart while driving causing the wheels or motor to lock up while in motion. Issue began while city driving
My 2015 ford edge has had the engine light turn on and off since april. After finding out that there is a misfire in the 4th cylinder, we replaced the spark pugs and the problem seemed to go away. However, about a month later, the engine light was back on and the car was have difficulty on cold start. Took in to ford and was told coolant is leaking into the 4th cylinder and the only fix would be to replace the entire engine.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle would vibrate while at a complete stop without warning. He also stated that the vehicle would vibrate upon turning on the air conditioning. The contact took the vehicle to rockwall ford (990 e interstate 30, rockwall, tx 75087) where he was informed that the flex plate fractured and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a claim was filed. Since filing the claim, no further assistance was offered. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 100,984.
Flexplate cracked. Only 53,000 miles and requires a new short block engine replacement. The flexplate is noted to be a defective part from ford. This should not happen on a vehicle with only 53,000 miles. The crankshaft, pistons, flexplate, torque converter and many more parts all have to be replaced on my vehicle. This issue could result in serious crash or even death.
My 2015 ford edge has only 16,500 miles on it as I only use it on occasion. This week the powertrain symbol came on and a few minutes later the check engine light came on!! I was driving on the freeway when this occurred.
Engine light kept coming on and then turning off. Had car inspected and there was a misfire in cylinder 3. After further inspection, there is coolant leaking into the 3rd cylinder. The only fix is to replace the engine.
The ford edge has a cracked flexplate and emits a rattling noise and ford will not address the problem. A cracked flexplate should not happen, let alone at 50k. The vehicle now sounds like a diesel and puts the driver and others at risk. Should the flexplate fail, the resulting damages and injuries could be deadly. This happens are startup and when slowing down.
I was driving during my normal routine, from picking up my baby at daycare to go home when a rattle noise suddenly started. It was not too loud in the beginning, but as I approached the house, the noise started getting louder and louder mostly when idling at stop signs or red lights, for example. The 2015 ford edge awd 2.0 l ecoboost is 4.5 years old and has 66,000 miles. The day after, I took the car to a ford dealership and was told that the flex plate was broken and so is pretty much everything that is attached to it including the crankshaft, torque converter, and fluid pump and that I would need to replace the whole engine. Ford provided me a case number, but no further assistance since the vehicle is no longer under warranty. The car is currently at the authorized dealership. I was quoted $7,300 to fix the vehicle. A problem with a flex plate can be very dangerous as I'm understanding that they transmit the power from your engine to the transmission. I could have lost my ability to control the vehicle's power. A bad flex plate could potentially cause a loss of power to the wheels and result in an accident. In addition, the flex plate broke the crank shaft and torque converter, which also prevents the engine to function properly. My vehicle is less than 5 years old and this has happened already with it. I'm fortunate to have not suffered an accident because of this.
