2.0L EcoBoost engine and coolant intrusion. Coolant leaked into two of the cylinder heads, resulting in engine failure and the need for a full engine replacement.Initially, the vehicle would not start. A tow company technician was able to get the vehicle started, after which I was advised to drive directly to my mechanic. I was informed that the exhaust smelled like diesel fuel and that if the engine were shut off, it was highly unlikely to restart. At that point, the check engine light illuminated. The dealership confirmed the coolant instrusion and the need for a new engine.

What owners say
I just purchased this 2015 ford edge sport eco in april 2019 from cowles dealership in woodbridge va. I recently stated issues with the electrical gear system. The vehicle was in park but three vehicle wouldn't start and gave a message that it wasn't on gear. I had bring it back to the dealership and pay for it to get fixed. The dealership mechanic and based on some reviews this is a common issue with this vehicle and other ford with push start. Is this a recall?
I purchased a certified used ford edge 2015 model in july 2016 at this dealership. On 9/10/17 while driving, I had a loss of power and some of the dashboard light lit up. I made to a parking lot, put the car in park and then it worked fine. Then on 10/24/17 while driving to work through an intersection, I lost power again. I coasted through and pulled over. Again, I was able to put the car in park and then it worked. I called gilbert baugh and they said I needed to bring the car in. I took the car to the dealership on 10/28/17. I explained what had happened and ask them to look at the car. Later the guy came to me and said they drove the car and didn't have any problems but they tried to reset the computer and there was a glitch and they can't get the car to crank. They said I would need to leave the vehicle. I left the vehicle and then they called 10/30 and said that the computer was bad and that I would need to replace it, and it wasn't covered under my powertrain warranty. I questioned them on this because the car was drivable when I took it in. I called 11/2/17 and the computer was not in yet. They called on 11/3 and said they received the computer and put it in but that the car was doing the same thing, would not crank. I called them again a few days later and they thought maybe there was a problem with their computer they were using to program and had contacted ford for assistance. Again, I waited to later be told that new software will need to be written by ford to solve this problem. It has now been 5 weeks, my car is still in their shop and they are unable to provide me with an estimated time frame for repair. They said they are waiting for ford. I requested a buyback through ford, it was denied due to my car having approximately 55,000 miles on it.
I ford edge has a bumping sound on the passagner side. It was a brand new vechile. But it made this noise. Come to find out after it broke down the throttle body and power train. I was told by the dealer that their was a recall by fcc said their was no recall. Fcc would not buy the car back. The dealership did "fix" it but what really is a fix ( a patch) which means it will break down again. The car would not crank or make any noises! It just stopped in a parking spot.
I got out of the car in a driveway, was standing with the car door still open when the car started to roll down the driveway. I was knocked down and then stuck under the car door while being dragged down the driveway. I screamed for help and a neighbor heard, ran over just as I approached the street and stopped the car. She said the car showed to be in reverse yet it was turned off and I didn't hear any warning signals. It also didn't start to roll until I was standing out of it on two feet. If I felt it rolling while getting out, I would have still had a foot in the car to hit the break. Besides bruises and muscle pulls, I also experienced a hole in my shoulder which went to the bone while being dragged.
This problem involves a loss of power in my 2015 ford edge-titanium fwd (3.5l ti-vct v6 engine). It occurred after only 2 months of ownership and less than 3000 miles. After yielding at an intersection, I accelerated to turn right. Nothing happened. Thinking my foot slipped off the accelerator, I repositioned and pressed again. Nothing happened. My edge was rolling slowly, but I was unable to pull off the highway due to being in a construction zone. There were cones on the sides of the road. I stopped the car in the middle of the road and noticed a message on the screen. However, in my frantic state, I did not remember it exactly. The message was something like, power accessories off. I attempted to restart. It wouldn't start, but I realized it was not in park. Once I placed my edge in park, I was able to restart immediately. Thankfully, traffic was slow, and there was no accident. The service department at the ford dealership where my edge was purchased kept it for 2 days and drove it several times. They were unable to reproduce the problem, and they did not find any diagnostic issues. However, they were concerned and did say to return immediately if the problem occurs again. I love this automobile, and I am a first time ford owner. However, I now fear driving it. After reading several similar complaints on this site and other sites, it appears this has been ongoing for years. Will someone have to die for this to be corrected?
