We have a 2017 ford edge that has developed a coolant intrusion in cylinder 2 which the dealer said will cost $9800.00. The vehicle only has 72,000 miles on it and I’ve seen several reports of this same problem on the federal safety agency website. Has this problem had a recall or possibly a future recall? I realize there is not one on our particular vehicle and was wondering why. We are concerned for our safety as we are seniors and if the engine fails what we will do.
Check engine light came on car which had less than 60,000 miles Ford dealer inspected vehicle and determined the ecoboost engine had a coolant leak and needed $9,000 in repairs because the coolant from the faulty piece was leaking into the cylinders
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact's son-in-law replaced the spark plugs. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the federal safety agency Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.
My vehicle has the same issues related to a recall where the coolant leaked into a cylinder effecting the engine which now has to be replaced. The problem is that this recall is vin specific which eliminates my vehicle from this recall. It is my opinion that this needs to be reviewed because somewhere along the lines somebody dropped the ball. How can my vehicle not fall under this recall due to a number?
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle briefly shuddered and vibrated before returning to normal functionality; however, the failure became a regular occurrence. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that coolant intrusion into cylinder #2 had caused the cylinder to misfire, resulting in damages to the engine. The contact was informed that the long block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to Customer Satisfaction Program: 21N12. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the federal safety agency Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 77,000.
Upon starting the engine, there is a shake and a rough idle for a few moments. Check engine light comes on and off randomly. Each time code reads as engine misfire cylinder number 2. I have replaced spark plugs and Ignition coil. Just hit 77,300 miles. Seems to be a pretty common issue. How is there no recall yet? Today on top of that issue, temperature gauge light up and checked coolant and was very low.
Engine shakes upon start up after been sitting overnight and sometimes after was driven then cooled off, check engine light with code P0303- misfiring cylinder # 3, low coolant message on, took it for diagnosis and they say that there is coolant intrusion on cylinder # 3 due to internal engine failure, no prior overheating was observed.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the engine was running rough, and the vehicle was shaking abnormally. The engine warmed up for approximately 4-5 minutes during warmer weather and the shaking ceased. The contact stated that the failure lasted longer during colder weather conditions. The coolant level was lower than expected. The check engine warning light was intermittently illuminated. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer and it was diagnosed and determined that coolant was leaking into cylinder #2, causing engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer referred the contact to the federal safety agency Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 78,000.

My car initially gave me a check engine light. My coolant was found to be low and coolant was replaced which resolved the check engine light immediately. There were no more issues for approximately 1 week, at that time my car started to emit a white smoke from its exhaust, my check engine light turned on again at about the same time. My car was taken to the dealership where there was found to be coolant intrusion on cylinder #2. My entire engine needed to be replaced. It also took approximately 3-4 weeks for Ford to ship the engine to the dealership due to there being a shortage on engines. Ford was contacted by the dealership on my behalf and I was told there was no recall and nothing they could do for me.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated upon the depression of the accelerator pedal. In addition, the contact stated there was a cloud of heavy white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe upon starting the vehicle. The contact initially called a local dealer and was informed that the vehicle could not be seen for two weeks before a diagnostic test could be performed. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where a diagnostic test was performed and a tune-up was performed on the vehicle. Despite the repair, the check engine light returned to the instrument panel. A mobile, Ford mechanic arrived at the residence to perform various recall repairs to the vehicle and the contact described the issues experienced with the vehicle. The mechanic stated that there was possibly a coolant intrusion into an engine cylinder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
While driving with 97K miles on it, vehicle started to stutter. The check engine light came on. We took the vehicle to a local repair shop. They replaced the evaporate purge solenoid. The coolant was low as well. They did a pressure test but could not find a leak and told us to watch it. Just before 100k miles, vehicle started to stutter again. We took it to a Ford Dealership. They found the coolant low and a cracked engine block.
The cooling system on my 2017 Ford Edge with 2.0 liter Ecoboost engine (currently with 61,000 miles) is not working properly due to coolant leaking internally in the engine from the engine head into cylinder number 2. This causes a variety of misfire codes to be set periodically on the vehicle, from P0316 (misfire during first 1000 revolutions) to P0302 (cylinder 2 misfire). The internal leak also causes coolant level in the reservoir to slowly drop, potentially leading to engine seizure and loss of vehicle control due to loss of power steering, although we have not experienced this ourselves due to knowledge of the nature of the problem - I am constantly checking coolant level. The coolant leak did, however, cause number 2 spark plug to fail causing a flashing MIL light, rendering the car undriveable until I replaced the plug. Ford Motor Company is aware of the open-deck cooling design flaw in these engines that causes the problems described above. Ford refuses to do anything about this problem (like a recall) since apparently they don't consider it a safety issue. All I've gotten out of them is basically a "sorry about your luck". Thanks for your consideration. There are probably millions of people with this same "latent defect" issue on the road.

Coolant leaking into the cylinders. Was told by dealership this is a known design flaw with the eco drive engines. Car needs a new engine and only has 58K miles

Check engine light went on and car engine chugged upon starting. Took the car in to local mechanic shop and they ran diagnostics showing engine misfire. Replaced spark plugs and 1 ignition coil. Light went off and no chugging for 3 days and then the car engine began to chug again upon starting and the check engine light came back on. Took back to mechanic, said some type of wire was loose and mentioned that there was oil where there shouldn't be and apparently they saw it before. Light went off and chugging stopped. The next day or so, the light came on again and there was a white smoke coming out of exhaust pipes that had a very strange and strong odor. Took back to mechanic and they moved a coil. Said diagnostics showed battery was low so I had the battery replaced. Next day, car didn't want to immediately turnover upon start, check engine light came on as did the the battery light. Smoky white exhaust with odor returned. Made appointment at my local Ford dealer (had to wait slightly over a week to get in). Diagnostics and inspection showed a cracked engine block and it could not be repaired, only replaced. Service rep said it was a design flaw. My car is only a 2017 model (purchased brand new in 12/2017) and now has only 57k miles and is well taken care of. All of these car symptoms came on suddenly and and took about a month to resolve with back and forths to the mechanic and then the dealership. I was worried that the car might catch fire based on the white smoke, the odor and the check engine light continuing to come on. I spent a lot of money on the engine replacement... this shouldn't happen to a young engine with low miles. If there was a design flaw with the ecoboost engine... it should be recalled.

The coolant/antifreeze leaks into the cylinders, after further research, this is a common defect to almost all vehicles of this make and model
My 2017 Ford Edge has a 2.0 ecoboost engine with a known defect problem. Antifreeze is leaking into the cylinder which could cause it to overheat and a potential fire. It has been checked at two separate FORD dealerships, and they both confirm the same issue. The yellow multi dash lamp has gone on and stayed on since the incident occurred. The first incident was on 4-3-2024.
Check engine light came on. Checked it and reset it. Did not reoccur. Two days later high engine temperature light can on. I checked coolant level and found it low. No evidence of leakage was found where car is parked in the garage. Took car to ford dealer after reading my car problems were similar to many ford edges with the same engine. Ford dealer explained ford had issued a bulletin to their dealers that this type engine could experience coolant leakage into the cylinders due to an engine design error in the second generation ford edge engine. This problem requires a complete engine replacement. Ford does not offer any financial help to pay for fixing this problem. My cost will be over $8500. There are many, many reports of similar owners having this problem.
2017 Ford Edge was rattling with starting it in the morning. We received a backdated letter about a flexplate recall. We took car in to check it out. Service guy said to go home, “you would know if it was the flexplate”. Then car was rattling a little more and check engine light came on, so I brought the car and the letter back in and same service guy said he would check it out. Charged me $764 to change out 4 spark plugs and an ignition coil. Said car was fine to drive and that they checked all cylinders etc. But they were going to ask for Ford approval to replace flexplate….. They called that it was approved and they kept car for many days and said it was fixed. Last week (two months and only 500 miles later), check engine light came on again. We took it back to Auto Nation. They kept car to evaluate the problem. Called us a few days later saying we would need a new engine for $8,500. Service guy said this happens a lot. Most people had traded in for new cars. One guy with extended warranty got it fixed. We asked if cylinders, plugs, etc were fully checked 2 months ago, why would you say cylinders are corroded now? Did fixing the flexplate cause the problem? We looked online and saw talk of class action lawsuits, cylinder issues, Ecoboost engine issues, and possible car fire issues. This caught our attention as a huge safety concern. We are not sure how to proceed. (I have all paperwork from Autonation and recall letter.)
