The engine has a manufacturer's defect under Technical Service Bulletin 19-2208. Coolant is entering the cylinders. Personal safety is compromised because the engine can fail at any moment. Navigating safely through traffic with an engine fail and then being stranded on the freeway (at night in freezing cold temperatures) is a serious hazard. The problem has been confirmed by a few mechanics. Also, Ford Motor Company issued a TSB 19-2208 detailing this problem for the vehicle. Mysteriously, this TSB has suddenly disappeared but I have a pdf of their advisory detailing the defect. Ford Motor Company requested the vehicle be inspected by a certified dealership, who confirmed the problem. Ford is acknowledging the original engine manufacturer's defect. Mechanics report this is not a wear-and-tear issue. An engine warning light was the first indication of the problem. The problem appeared just after the manufacturer's 100k mile/5yr warranty expired. The vehicle has 105k miles. The vehicle was 3 months past the warranty when Ford was first contacted and notified of the problem. I have been in contact with Ford Motor Company for a couple of months trying to fix this problem. They are now refusing to discuss anything about the issue. Originally, they acknowledged the issue and their TSB proves they were aware of it even to the point of detailing the procedure for diagnostics and repair. Ford also previously reimbursed full expenses for the repair of their defective engine. Now it seems they are trying to cover it up trying to make it disappear, maybe so it does not get listed as a recall? The vehicle is a hazard to drive for my 80 year old mother who still works, but she has no other choice. I am seeing reports of this same engine fail online by other owners.
2016 Ford Edge engine complaints
Page 13 of 15: complaints 341 to 370 of 414, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On 12-25-2021 I was driving my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium andthe check engine light came on. I took the car to a Ford dealer , they said they could not look at it till Momnday12-28-2021 they checked it out and told me the engine coolant leaked into the engine causing the engine to be replaced. They said they would run a compression check just to make sure. After waiting 1/2 a day, they told me yes, the engine had to be replaced the gasket was defective and caused the engine coolant to leak into the engine. The car has 56,400 miles and they told me to call Ford and maybe they would replace or give me some help on the cost. I called Ford and they told me car was out of warranty(which i knew) and they would do nothing. I am now on the hook for a bill for approx. $7,000. On the internet I found more than 72 complaints of the same thing happening and again Ford would do nothing. I was lucky I was not on a trip and got stranded out in the middle of no where. I feel it is Fords responsibility to see that this problem is taken care of. I do not understand why there has not been a recall on this problem,Why? If your engine stops running out on the highway you could be in for a grave accident. I know there is a Class Action lawsuit pending and like many big lawsuits they can take years to be resolved and who makes the money? the lawyers and then there will not be enough money left to pay back all these people who had to put out thousands to replace these motors. If the consumer wins there will probably be made some deal which will help Ford and the lawyers and then there will not be money left to help the consumer. Why don't you make a recall on this problem?
2018 Ford Edge Driving it Friday Dec 24th. Check engine light came on took it to Ford Dealer they said they could not get me in till Monday. Took in Monday Morning about a hour later they told me that the engine coolant leaked into the engine causing the engine to be replaced. They said they would run a Compression check just to make sure. Called this morning 12-28-2021 and said yes the engine had to be replaced the car has 56,400 miles and they told me to call Ford and maybe they would replace or give me some help Called Ford and they said Car is out of Warranty and they would do nothing. I am on the hook for approx $7,000.Checked on internet and found 72 complaints about the same problem. But yet there is no safety recall, Why? I was lucky I was in town , what if I had been on a trip. I feeel it is Fords responsibility to see that this problem is taken care of. I also read there was a Class Action Law Suit for this issue, I cannot find it on the internet I thought it would be on your website.
Had a check engine light come on saying misfire in cylinder 4, had the spark plug replace, check engine light came back on a week later. Took it to a Ford dealership & said the long engine block needed replaced due to coolant leaking into the cylinder.
My engine coolant got in one of engine coils causing engine to need to be replaced. There is a class action suit against Ford for this issue in the Edge.
I had to have the engine replaced because coolant was leaking in cylinder 2.
Broken Flywheel. 5 year/60,000 miles Warranty ended by date 4 months prior to diagnosis. Car currently has 57,000 miles. Took to dealer for engine rattle diagnostics exam. Was told it was the flywheel. Ford Technician stated it’s a common mechanical problem for this kind of vehicle. Ford is refusing to cover the repair. No prior warnings or messages presented to driver before or while engine rattle occurred. Was told to trade in the car as the flywheel can damage the engine thus totaling the vehicle.
A check engine light came on, I called Ford, told them what it was and took the earliest appointment was over a week away which they said was fine since it was just the regular check light. I Five days before the appointment, I started my car (push button), it didn't start, so I took my foot off the brake, waited a minute, put my foot back on the brake and tried starting it again, the car started but smoke started pouring out of the back of the car and the engine died. I had it towed to Ford and they said that coolant got into the fourth cylinder which ruined the engine, requiring an entirely new engine ($7000) on a six year old car Safety was put at risk because if this happened while I was driving instead of parked this could have caused a serious accident. This is a common problem among this model of car (and some other, similar models from Ford).
After a little over 5 years and 41000 Miles engine needs replacement due to coolant issue which is a very common problem according to many posts online.
Engine. Engine started to leak coolant into #2 cylinder engine was miss firing and stalled. upon having inspection done by local mechanic per Ford's service bulletin was needing a long block replacement. If this unit was 1 year newer would have been under warranty. this stinks there is apparently a problem and I bought a used vehicle with a 60000 mile warranty and next year had a 100000 mile warranty. Ford knew something.
experience coolant seeping into cylinders. Causing the engine to misfire. Ford says needs the new redesigned cylinder block at the cost of 8000. This seems to be an ongoing issue with the 4 cylinder engines with vehicles.
For 2 months, now, when I fill my gas tank, the vehicle fails to start. After several attempts it chugs then fires up. 2 days ago it started to make a strange humming noise that would last about 5 seconds then stop about 3-4, then come back. Sometimes the hum lasted longer. Happened for a good 5 miles. Then, as I’m driving, the engine starts choking and the rpm gauge is bouncing. Then it sounded like it wanted to shut off so I immediately pulled over. I called a local Ford dealership. I took it there and the garage manager says it sounds like a fuel pump and scheduled me to come in this week for a diagnostic or code check. Didn’t say it wasn’t safe to drive.
On 7/27/21 I was on vacation in southern VT. After shopping I started the car up to wait for friends & family to get back so we could return to where we were staying. After about 5 minutes I was about to pull onto the street when my car’s warning system activated that Coolant Is Over Temperature. The temperature gauge was all the way in the red zone. After shutting the car down for about 15 minutes the temperature came down & I drove the car to a nearby garage so they could assess. The next morning they reported smoke came out of tailpipes as well as coolant. The car was towed from there to Ford of Greenfield where they found coolant in the spark plugs. The engine needed to be replaced due to this serious defect. The safety issue is this situation could have been much worse had we been driving in an area where there were higher speeds and significant traffic. This crack in the engine has caused worse issues (I’ve heard of fire in some instances, luckily not this one).
Check engine light came on while driving vehicle, checked at autozone on 6/14 and the report tool indicated #2 piston misfire, brought to tires plus and had 2 coils and four spark plugs replaced, issues persisted with overheating and stalling, brought into another mechanic who said to take it to a Ford dealership to identify computer error code, brought the vehicle in on 8/13 and was told there was coolant leaking into the engine and it was a known malfunction and the long block would need to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 20V469000 (Service Brakes, Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated the following day the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to Five Star Ford of Warner Robins (900 Russell Pkwy, Warner Robins, GA 31088, (478) 273-8151) to be repaired however, the vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.
as I was driving to work on i95N near Springfield, VA, the "coolant high temperature" warning light illuminated on my dashboard. as I was in rush hour traffic, I slowed down and moved right to diagnose the issue. i was able to exit the highway and immediately enter the lot of Sheehy Ford, Springfield VA. The dealer inspected my vehicle while I obtained a ride to work, then called me later to explain the issue. Their testing revealed error code P0301. the service advisor told me that Ford TSB 19-2346 "coolant intrusion into long block" was the issue and the recommended repair is to replace the engine. I called Ford customer service and was advised that there was no recall for this known problem and that my car was out of warranty (@70K miles). as such, Ford would not cover any of the repair expense. The Ford dealer has ordered a new engine and advised me that it will cost $7500 for parts and service. I can ask them to keep the engine for inspection, but I need to know soon. Safety was put at risk by an unforeseen issue without advance notice or warning that occurred in heavy traffic at high speed. In retrospect, I did notice excess exhaust from the vehicle prior to the incident and some difficulty starting, but there no other warning. This occurred less than 30 minutes prior to the warning light activation.
Engine coolant leak resulting in thick, white exhaust, rough idling upon start, and engine overheating.
So about 3 weeks ago on Tuesday my check engine light came on my 2016 ford edge and the car was stuttering. The following day Wednesday I took it to my mechanic and they said it's a cylinder 2 misfire and replaced my spark plugs then 4 days later Sunday my check engine light came back on I could go no faster then 40mph. Had to wait till July 6th to bring it to my Ford dealership Steven's Ford in milford ct where they found I had coolant leaking into my engine which is a know Ford issue with there 2015- 2018 eco boost engines and the only repair they have is to replace the engine with a new one because a reman engine would have the same problem and the reason I could not drive my car above 40 mph is because it was only running on 3 cylinders
Engine light on, coolant bubbling in reservoir, presence of coolant in cylinder, chemical head gasket test failed, vehicle needs new engine.
The scan revealed P0316 misfire on startup and P0301 cylinder 1misfire. It was discovered that the top of the cylinder 1 piston appears to be "washed" which happens when fuel is not ignited during the combustion process. This confirms the constant "toping off" of the engine coolant, which indicates a coolant leak in cylinder number 1. This diagnosis was from Christian Brothers Automotive, Acworth, Ga.
This vehicle has a design flaw within the engine. The engine and head gasket had a leak that caused the vehicle cylinder to fill with engine coolant, and caused the vehicle to unexpectedly misfire, overheat, and stall. I have also read accounts of other individuals vehicles catching fire. Thankfully this has not happened with my vehicle, however, it did stall out in the middle of the road during rush hour. As a result it was taken to FORD and they informed me that the entire engine would need to be replaced as a result of the failure.
My 2016 ford edge sel recently displayed a check engine light and the vehicle was loosing coolant without leakage under vehicle. The error code presented was p0304. Upon pressure testing coolant was found to be leaking into the 4th cylinder, and causing a misfire. The vehicle is less than 5 years old and ford is claiming the only solution is a complete engine replacement for more than 7k.
2016 edge bought 10/16 59,000 miles approximately. The engine over heating light came on engine idling poorly took into dealer for diagnosis. Vehicle needs a motor. It's sitting in dealer now for over 30 days engine on back order. Based on number of bought in october 2016 edge 59,000 miles over heat light on took to ford dealer ford is slowly taking care of the problem. I would say beside waiting 6- 8 weeks to get vehicle fixed under warranty who will reimbursed for devaluation of a known problem on my vehicle.
Check engine light appeared. The 2016 ford edge brought in to check after no particular coolant problem diagnosed the car was brought in again when it was diagnosed with a coolant leaking into the engine . Replacement cost $8250. After extensive negotiating with ford they offered a %55 help of $4590. This leaves me with &3660 cost to fix an engine on a car the I still owe$9880. As a retired couple buying in good faith a brand new car valued at $40000 and expecting it to last for many many years. This long standing problem with this ford engine should be recalled and not cause such worry and stress for the good faith consumers
Engine light illuminates. Diagnostics will indicate misfire. Change plugs and coil pack. Light will again illuminate after a few miles. Found the block to having hairline cracks; allowing water in the cylinder causing misfire. This is the 2nd one we purchased with the same problem. Investigating online this is a known problem. There are 45 complaints just on one site with all the same problem. The fix is a new engine ($3000 to $5000). Ford knows this problem that began in 2015 and continues to this day.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford edge. The contact who is an auto dealer, took the vehicle to integrity auto (1031 9th avenue se watertown, sd 57201, (605) 878-2277) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine block was fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 62,816. The VIN was invalid.
There are times when I press on the gas and the engine bogs down and the engine starts running very ruff. I can only do about 2 miles per hour, which is very dangerous as I am in traffic on city streets and on the highway, when this happens. The only thing that fixes it is to pull over, shut the car down, and then restart. This has happened 5 times since I bought the car in december of 2019 and it is only january of 2021.
I own a 2016 ford edge that use to be my leased work vehicle and I bought it from the company for my wife on 11/15/2019 with 67,696 miles on the odometer. I have never had one issues with this car and I have put every mile on it from work until I bought it from the company/emkay lease program. The current mileage as of today is 72,853 miles and I had it serviced from landmark ford in portland oregon. My check engine light came last week on and I took the edge in for service but needed to bring the vehicle back today so landmark ford could do a diagnostics on the vehicle. My wife and my daughter dropped off the vehicle and hours later, I was notified by chris kelso at landmark ford (503‑598‑8398) that coolant was getting into the engine cylinders and I would need to replace the engine for close to $7000.00. I have dealt with chris for years and he does a great job for me and my family. Chris mentioned that this has been a problem with edges and a new engine is the only way to fix it. I told chris I can't afford to replace an engine on a vehicle I purchased in november of 2019, so why wouldn't ford have a recall for this issue, if they knew about the problem? Chris did not have an answer, which I can tell that bothered him. I've taken great care of this ford edge since the odometer had 13 miles on it for my work fleet vehicle. I'm currently driving a 2019 ford edge for my new work vehicle and I have been a ford and a ford edge fan but this news to replace the engine is very unsettling to me at this time in our lives. I would really like someone with the authority to step up and provide some assistance to help me replace my engine on this vehicle under a consumer recall especially after reading all the comments for other edge owners please ford motor company post a recall notice for the faulty coolant leaking into the engine.
At approximately 53,000 miles, 2.0l i4 ecoboost engine needed to be replaced due to coolant leek into block - #2 cylinder failure. Although cost of repairs were covered under warranty, it took a lot of effort to get this all accomplished. Bought this car brand new for $40,000 and have had all maintenance meticulously completed at local dealership (where I purchased the vehicle). Worried now about the durability of the installed replacement engine. That engine now has nearly 20,000 miles on it and is out of warranty.
My check engine light came on, checked vehicle with code reader and code p0303 & p0316 showed. When vehicle started when cold, it would chug and stall out at times. Vehicle was brought to dealership. They found coolant was getting into the #3 cylinder. Therefore requiring a new long block. We researched tsb19-2346 and found the exact symptoms to what caused my engine failure,and this goes for all 2.0 liter eco-boost engines. Basically, a factory material defect in head that allowed coolant to leak into cylinder block, which can cause engine failure. My ford warranty was expired due to my vehicle mileage. My extended warranty company due to wording in contract would only cover internal , lubricated failure of engine. The dealership deemed my failure to be an external, material cause because it came from the head. I called ford motor company and they had nothing to say about it and would not back their product. In the end, I believe with no question that this should have been a recall, which it never was. My vehicle had around 86,000 miles and should not need a new engine. My vehicle was a 2016 ford edge se, with 2.0 liter eco-boost, that I purchased brand new.
