Vehicle Safety Complaint – 2017 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost VIN: [XXX] the federal safety agency Service Request: XXX I am submitting a formal vehicle safety complaint regarding a 2017 Ford Edge equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. The vehicle has experienced recurring overheating problems, including at highway speeds. Multiple diagnostic and repair efforts have been undertaken, including replacement of cooling-system components and evaluation by an authorized Ford dealership. The case involves suspected coolant intrusion into the engine, a condition addressed in Ford Technical Service Bulletin 22-2229. I have sought assistance from Ford Motor Company and requested a technical review and goodwill consideration. I am concerned that this condition could cause unexpected engine overheating, loss of engine power, or engine failure while driving, creating a potential safety hazard. I respectfully request that the federal safety agency review this complaint, consider the available Ford diagnostic documentation, and evaluate its relevance to investigation DP26-008. Please assign an ODI Complaint Number and advise whether additional documentation is required. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My car abruptly displayed the message “engine coolant over temperature” and refused to drive. I had it towed and the cost to fix is significant. However when looking up recalls for this particular vehicle, I found that an investigation has been opened to potentially reach a recall decision regarding this exact issue. The mechanic further evaluated that the coolant was getting inside the engine. I will attach pictures of the estimate

While operating the vehicle, it experienced a sudden, unexpected loss of engine power, rough idling, and white smoke emitting from the exhaust due to internal engine failure. The vehicle’s check engine light illuminated, throwing codes P0301 for cylinder misfires, and P0316. A formal diagnostic inspection confirmed that this vehicle is suffering from the known manufacturing defect outlined in Ford Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 19-2346, which involves internal coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders. The open-deck engine block design allows engine coolant to breach the cylinder head gasket and flood the combustion chambers. This creates an immediate safety hazard on public roadways. The sudden loss of acceleration and severe engine shuddering occurred without warning while driving, exposing the vehicle and its passengers to a high risk of a rear-end collision in active traffic. Ford Motor Company has denied out-of-warranty or goodwill assistance to resolve this defect. This issue directly aligns with the ongoing the federal safety agency investigation into Ford EcoBoost coolant leaks and structural engine failures. I am filing this to request that the agency upgrade its current inquiry into a mandatory safety recall to protect consumers from catastrophic highway engine failure.

Upon doing a drive with 60,000 miles my check engine light came on. Upon taking it in to a dealer in Chicago, I was told that it had a coolant intrusion defect and that I would need to replace the entire engine ~11,000 quote. I then took it to two seperate dealerships, and got a video of it. They both confirmed this. I contacted ford and they have refused to help in an form. The component is the engine block. I am completely scared to take it on the road. I don't know what will happen as it shakes on startup now. The problem was reproduced by both. I have not had it inspected by insurance. Warning lamp was an engine light.

Engine is leaking coolant into combustion chambers, causing misfire and check engine light to come on. This issue is a known issue by Ford, with multiple TSBs (I have found 19-2346 and 22-2229 so far) Error code on diagnostic was P-0302. This issue was found at North Brothers Ford in Westland MI. We were quoted over $8,000 to have this replaced. We were told that our family car cannot be driven safely because of this issue, as it can cause the engine to just die where it sits, which could be catastrophic.

Engine overheating. Coolant leak into the engine.

I am currently dealing with the coolant intrusion into cylinder 2 of the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. In the beginning of XXX at about 134K miles, the check engine light came on. I was at a stop light (.2 miles from my home) and I got a warning message telling me the coolant temp was high and engine power was reduced. When I got home, I saw that the coolant was low, but there has not been any leaks noticed in driveway, refilled and was fine for 2 weeks. During those 2 weeks, I was having a rough idle at start up, and white smoke coming from exhaust. Then on the way to work the engine was overheating. Pulled over and turned off on the side of a highway to let it cool. After 10 minutes, turned the car back on to continue to work (which was a mile away), also turned on the heat to pull from the engine, the air was cold until I started driving then it warmed. I am now having to fill the coolant every few days and having misfires while accelerating causing me to stall and then traffic approaching me having to slow to avoid hitting me. I purchased this vehicle used in XXX from a dealership in [XXX] and the carfax did not state any of these issues at the time of purchase. The only repair given is the TSB 19-2346, and no safety recall has been issued for this defect. This defect poses a safety risk as it can lead to sudden engine stalling, loss of power while driving, and potential engine fires due to overheating. There is a financial burden since this repair is costly and Ford will not help with the cost of this repair. Car warranties are denying claims because Ford as acknowledged this defect. And dealerships are still selling these used cars despite the issues and because it is not a recall, they are not held liable for these repairs or made to disclose the defect. This is a huge safety issue and financial burden. As I am now out of a vehicle THAT FORD NEW WAS A DESIGN DEFECT.
