I was driving my son to his father's house and my car literally died while it was moving. Thankfully I was close to the house and we were not on a major street or highway, but it took several times for it to start again so that we could move it out of the way. I took the car to a ford dealer and there is coolant leaking into the engine and now requires a new long engine block which will cost me almost $7,000 and an additional $1,000 for a rental car, as I am a single mom. I was on my way to work and could have been driving on the highway when this happened. I'm lucky that I wasn't.
2016 Ford Edge engine complaints
Page 14 of 15: complaints 371 to 400 of 414, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I purchased a new ford edge directly from dealership in 2016. I have maintained the vehicle extremely well. Around 95,000 my check engine light came on for a few days then went off for a week or so. When it came back on again, around 98,000 I called to make an appointment. They couldn't get me in for about a week. When I took the vehicle in it had 101,000. They told me I have a cylinder head coolant intrusion because of a small crack. They recommend a long block engine repair for $8000. They said this is a known problem with the ford ecoboost engines. I see there's 100's of complaints online for the same issue. Contacted ford and they said there's nothing they can do to help. A car that's 3 1/2 years old should not need a new engine. This is a known ford engine defect that they are not standing behind.
2016 ford edge titanium had a coolant leak into cylinder number 2. White smoke rough idling. Vehicle had 64,444 total miles. Required a complete engine replacement at a cost of $8217.67
Started having white smoke. Sheehy ford dealership told me I needed a new engine due to coolant intrusion into cylinder 1. Car has 88,000 miles and has been cared for exactly as ford recommends and mileage was all highway mileage due to my job. Cost for new engine is $8,000. Found out about tsb 19-2346 after researching the diagnosis. If I would have know this last dec (when it was released) I could have traded the car for my new toyota. After hours and hours of research, I will now get rid of my 2 fords and get a rav 4 and another tacoma.
My 2016 ford edge had a coolant leak into the engine which is a common problem that ford sent a bulletin out on.thenford motor company refuses to take action for a recall on an obviously faulty. Engine. How can they be aloud to acknowledge that there's a huge issue with the engines that's common but dey a recall. This issue is causing tons of ford edge owners extreme financial stress and worse. This company needs to take responsibility. $9,500 on repairs. And now the new engines doing the same thing.
Engine cylinder block has a crack that is causing coolant intrusion into cylinder #2 posing emissions and overheating concerns per diagnosis from ford dealership
Engine light came on. Engine had 112489 miles. After much back and forth it was determined I needed a new engine. At that point I took the car to a ford dealership. Again after much back and forth it was determined that I need a new engine. I contacted ford, and they would offer no help on this. I did get a new engine at the first service center for $6,000.00 I went to. The ford dealership was $1,500.00 more. I also found out that there are a number sercvice bulletins concerning this issue, and yet ford offered no help. The light came on when the car was in motion.
Bought a car with a check engine light. The dealer knew about the light and said would be fixed. Took it to the dealer the first time they stated it has a misfire and cleared the code. If the light came back on contact them to bring it in for further inspection. The light came back in with minutes after driving off. They stated there's a coolant leak going into the motor. Which can cause the motor to blow up or catch fire. I tried t ge them to fix it and they give me cold shoulder so I asked for a trade for equity value or a reverse on the loan to get my old vehicle back they wouldn't do it.
30 aug 2020 the check engine light came on and the engine overheated without prior warning or indication. The dealership mechanic told me it was a know issue that the coolant leaks along the engine block. In my case it leaked into the 3rd cylinder and caused misfires. The cylinder is cracked and the engine needs to be replaced. Current milage is 64000 and not covered under the 60000 mile warranty.
My 2016 ford edge started rough starting for a couple of weeks and then the engine light came on. Had the car scanned #2coil pack issue. Replaced spark plugs. Lasted a week. Engine light back on with rough start and when I would go from a stop it would hesitate. Scanned again #2 coil pack .replace #2 coil pack . Lasted almost a week. Engine light back on same problems. Replaced all the coil packs. Lasted 1 day. Then car overheated on the highway . I took it to the dealership to find out it needs an engine. Coolant is leaking into the #2 cylinder. Car has 116,000 miles and ford will not cover any of the repair.
At 35,000 miles, when starting and then while running car started hesitating and check engine light came on. Initially dealer reported it was a spark plug and they replaced it only to have the same issue arise two days later. Back at the dealer an analysis showed that a leak in the cooling system caused fluid to enter into the 3rd cylinder which then cracked the engine. 7 weeks later a new engine was replaced. Only guaranteed for 1 year and original cause of issue (design flaw) not corrected so likely to happen again when out of warranty. Known technical service bulletin on this issue with numerous engine failures and re-failures including vehicle stopping when driving.
Check engine light came on on my 2016 ford edge around 60000 miles. Code reader indicated misfire on cyl 3. After changing the spark plugs as a potential fix, the issue came back. Rough idles when starting but usually would go away after a few seconds. Last time I went to start it, white, sweet smelling smoke began pouring out of the exhaust. Shut off the engine immediately. Several other documented cases of coolant leaking into cylender leads me to believe this is a head gasket or another engine destroying issue. Having the car towed to our mechanic now.
The vehicle smoke extremely heavy and moderate amount of white smoke when start and the engine coolant always runs low
Vehicle engine warning lights come on lucky to be in from a dealership they said there was a national highway bulletin about engine, luckily I had warranty took 43 weeks to authorize are aware of a problem with engine
Vehicle has stalled multiple times while driving or stopped at a stop light without warning. "accessory power" remains on so lights, power steering etc. The first two times it happened I was at a stop light and had to place the car in park to restart the vehicle which took multiple attempts until the vehicle would remain running. Today the vehicle stalled while coming off of a highway, I had to pull over multiple times to restart the vehicle when ever I took my foot off the gas as the vehicle would stall. I barely made it to work. I am wondering why there is not a recall on the vehicle for this issue as ford did recall the 2017 edge for similar problems.
The engine is leaking coolant into cylinder #3. This causes the engine to overheat and white smoke to come out of the exhaust.
Internal coolant leak into cylinder #2 causing miss fire code and check engine light. Known issue by ford and recommends complete engine change and is not covering any of the cost.
2.0l ecoboost, 40,000 miles, fwd, engine tries to stall when coming to stop at traffic light, rough idle, makes groaning or thrumming sound similar to helicopter. No power when using accelerator, engine off then on clears issue. Read p2196 code, cleaned maf sensor, but stalling returned. Random, not regular failure, so not able to recreate on demand. No fault code logged most recent incident. Has occurred 4 times over last month
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford edge. The contact stated that while the vehicle was on, there was white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The vehicle was taken to the dealer ford of murfreesboro (1550 nw broad st, murfreesboro, tn 37129 (615) 713-1436) where it was diagnosed that the engine block was fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but no further assistance was taken. The failure mileage was approximately 72,680.
While driving the vehicle on the interstate, three different times it suddenly, without warning, lost all power and shutdown the car. No power, lights, power steering, etc. I had to coast to a stop on a major interstate. Once I was stopped, turned off the car and it restarted like nothing happened. These events were very dangerous. Once was when it was raining so when the car lost power, the wipers stopped at 70 MPH so I had to navigate to the shoulder without being able to see. A second time was at night driving 70 MPH, when it shutdown, I lost headlights and I couldn't see. It was terrifying as I was in a remote area of I-49 without any lighting to navigate to the shoulder. Again, once stopped and put in park, it restarted immediately. Please note, I'm not the owner of this car. I was driving it as a loaner from a used car dealership. This problem was so serious I am reporting directly to the federal safety agency as this car had no recalls to address. Someone is going to get injuries or die. I was terrified.
My check engine light read 'crank case pressure sensor' and while I was driving the 'add coolant' light came on and before I got to the next town, the warning light came on notifying me that the engine was going to switch into the engine saving mode being that it needed more coolant emergently. I used nearly a gallon of coolant the next couple of days and brought the vehicle to a ford dealership" for diagnosing and servicing. They said I had a cracked block due to the fact that the water pump is located inside the engine instead of outside of the engine on these vehicles which has been raising havoc in a lot of these engines because it doesn't make the proper seal causing a leak to occur and the material they use for their water pump is very thin and often times causes a leak from the coolant that goes directly into the engine which it did in my situation and cause the engine to crack. If I had been driving down the road when this would've happened it would've been detrimental to myself, my passengers and other people on the road at that time!
Have a 2016 ford edge at about 64,00 miles my check engine light kept coming on and off, car was also sputtering when I started it and sounds like it will stall. I keep having to refill coolant. Took it to 3 different dealers who all said a code of p0302 they all told me it was a manufacture defect of the coolant part not being flush on the engine. I filed a complaint through ford who has done nothing for me because I'm out of the manufacturing warranty. The service manager informed me several cars all having the same issue but under mileage for warranty. Car isn't even paid off and feel like I was sold a lemon, now I need a new engine and can't afford one! Wish ford would take better care of their customers!!! My engine could blow!!!!!I can't even get my car serviced until december 30th because dealership has so many cars with the same problem. I have contacted a lemon law lawyer in the hopes they can do something for me.
My car has started to shake very badly, at lights, stop, start, all times. Coolant is leaking into the cylinder head causing it to misfire constantly and causing the shakes. This was repaired once already in 2017, but the repair has failed and is happening again. Ford says I need a new engine but I'm outside my warranty and they are not willing to cover the full repair. They have a tsb 19-2208 that has been updated in june of 2019 to change the repair for cylinder replacement to engine replacement. This issue can cause the car to overhead and stall if not caught right away.
When driving my 2016 ford edge on the street or on the highway the car hesitates 2 take off I have to press on the gas really hard before it starts to take off it shakes really bad and when you first start the car it's shaking and jerking when you put the car in drive it hesitates to move with this heart jerking motion and shaking then idles down and then the car will move but it still takes some force on the gas pedal for the car to move also I noticed a burning smell like oil or something and a very thick white smoke clouding out of the exhaust pipes this problem started 3 weeks ago as of today august 28th my ford edge will not turn over I've tried replacing the alternator the spark plugs ignition switch it will not turn over the car has been sitting in my driveway since last friday the check engine light a picture of a ranch and and a picture of a triangle with a caution sign in the middle has came on and then the car will no longer start
Internal leak from oil valve/switch allowed fumes to leak into the car for months and months and exposed the driver to toxins; blood work revealed high levels of mtbs; symptoms include extreme exhaustion, vision and cognitive problems, balance issues itchy skin, and more. First, the fumes should never leak into the car, second, the ford service department said it was ok to drive while they ordered a part, and it was not ok to drive because it was poisoning the driver. The car has now been fixed, the driver's recovery is ongoing.
Since purchased as a certified pre owned, there is always a very noticeable clicking noise from the engine when cold, and gradually quiets when warmed up... Similar to a sticking valve lifter. The servicing dealer checked with ford and said the engineers are working on the issue, but there are no repairs for this condition and it will not harm the engine.
Ford edge sel 2016 VIN * [xxx] 22,500 miles since I acquired it (he,she) has a problem of when I am traveling a highway and the speed comes to 60 MPH the engine is in discharge revolutionize raising a hill an evil enters(approaches) smell of gases of the interior of the car, I have to reduce the speed and open crystals of the car in order that the smell goes out and could be breathed well.

The last occasion I asked them to realize a test(proof) of road with a scanner and they refused. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford edge. While operating the vehicle, the temperature gauge increased to "hot" and the "coolant overheated" message displayed. The vehicle was taken to park city ford (3333 inwood rd, dallas, tx) where it was diagnosed that an electrical voltage surge had damaged the battery, wire harness, fuse box, and cooling fan. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 37,000.
Car stalls out and loses power and symptoms have the potential to be fatal. This usually happens under acceleration and has almost caused 2 rear-end accidents. As I accelerate the car thumps when the engine stalls and then the car loses all acceleration. This sudden loss of power is especially dangerous when happening on the highway or ramp getting up to the highway. These are the two places it consistently happens. The car has been taken to the dealership to be serviced 5 times for the same issue without resolution. I won't let my family drive the car for fear of injury to her. I'm paying for a defective product. I do not feel safe in this vehicle and I don't get the sense that ford is trying to fix the root issue.
Engine shut down while driving with no warning. Vehicle entered "accessory mode" which kept all of the instruments light up, was able to steer off the road and re-start the car. Vehicle was in motion on a city street with heavy traffic.
