The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, there was smoke coming from the engine. The check engine warning light was illuminated.

The Ford dealer confirmed that the engine was cracked and leaking coolant into the cylinders. The engine light was on and the car would shudder and RPM's would drop. Before the dealer confirmed the problem I had the ignition coils replaced and all spark plugs replaced. Issue remained unresolved. At any time, the car could stop and I would be stranded. I found numerous incidents exactly like this online reported by Ford owners. The dealer was very familiar with the problem as was Ford Corp. when I called them. This is a manufacturer problem and they are not taking any responsibility!! There should be a recall on this issue. I have gone to great expense and inconvenience. Angry Ford customer.

My 2017 Ford Edge is experiencing loss of coolant with no sign of exterior leaks, over heating, the smell of gas in the reservoir, loss of power and rough idling as well. After plenty of research online and seeing the tsbs from the manufacturer this is definitely a problem. This vehicle is my only form of transportation, being that it has been a problem for many customers of ford it is absurd that this has not been recalled and fixed. We don't work hard every day, spend over 25k on a car for it to have a common problem amongst many of the same vehicle and same year, that is obviously a malfunction of the manufacturer.
Informed that my 2017 Ford Edge with 122K miles has coolant leaking into cylinder 3 from block and now I have to replace my engine. I have to pay $8500. From my research this problem is a manufacturing defect and the Ford dealership failed to fix this issue.

Took the 2017 Ford Edge for regular service, oil change, etc. Noticed the engine light on the dash panel came on. Independent Mechanic informed me that there was a leak of coolant into Cyl #3 of the engine. Recommended that we take the car to a dealership as it has only 49,689 miles on it. Vehicle is running fine at the time, no smoke or loss of coolant. Drove to the dealership the same day and they confirmed that there has been a service bulletin issued on the vehicle's engine due to coolant leaking into the cylinders, causing engine failure.

Check Engine light came on and I scheduled an appointment at an independent repair shop. Before the appointment date, the engine gave an overheat warning. The system was low on coolant (filled about 3/4 of a gallon). A day before the appointment it overheated again and this time was able to fill another 1/4 gallon. Independent repair shop diagnosed and could not find any signs of exterior coolant leaks. The check engine light was due to cylinder misfiring, and the shop believes that the coolant is leaking into the cylinder and burning off as they witnessed white smoke from the tailpipe. They referenced Technical Services Bulletin #22-2229 as a known problem with the only fix as replacing the engine long block. Contacted Ford and they said that they wouldn't help me as my car is 9,000 miles over the warranty period. There is no way to tell when this issue will render the car inoperable and possibly strand my family somewhere or worse cause the system to shut down at freeway speeds.
Vehicle was idling rough and not able to accelerate. Vehicle was overheating consuming coolant. After 2 weeks a check engine light came on. Dealer inspected and found coolant intrusion on 2 cylinders. Design flaw known by Ford.
The car overheated due to a known engine defect which allowed the coolant to leak into the engine block. The car now needs a whole new engine. This is what the Ford Dealer gave me. This service bulletin is dated June of 2022 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 22-2229 2.0L EcoBoost - Coolant In Cylinders, White Exhaust Smoke And/Or Illuminated MIL This bulletin supersedes 22-2133.

2017 Ford Edge- 60,443 miles.Engine-check engine light came on 3 separate times. Had inspected each time- result was the same- " misfire in cylinder 2" light would go off- car running as usual. Then while driving on the freeway apx 70 mph the warning lights came on that the engine was overheating. This was a very dangerous situation. Immediately took the next exit and pulled into gas station. Five minutes later was able to drive 10 minutes to my home with no incident. The next morning, could not even drive 5 minutes out of my neighborhood before it happened again except this time warnings also included that the car was going into power saving mode. Immediately turned around and took it back home. This problem has been both reproduced and confirmed by both a certified repair shop and a Ford Dealership who both determined that coolant is leaking into cylinder 2 causing the problem. Ford is aware of this and has issued multiple service bulletins regarding this situation but will not put a recall out for this. This is a serious problem.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 45-55 MPH, the A/C started blowing hot air and the vehicle was jerking. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that coolant was added to the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times while driving, and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic several times, and the oxygen sensors, the purge valve, the ignition coils, and the spark plugs were replaced; however, the failure persisted.

I bought the car in July 2022 with 62,000 miles for my daughter. The car now has 65,000 miles on it as she only drives back and forth to school. Check engine light came on a month ago then 2 weeks later it overheated with coolant light coming on. It took over a month to get in to the dealership to look at the car. Today they looked at it and told me the coolant had an leaked into the engine due to an engine defect so I would need a new long block engine that will cost about 8,000 to repair. Of course it’s not under warranty and even thigh Ford knows it’s an engine defect and fixed the issue in the replacement they will not cover the charges. They recalled the 1.6 engine but not the 2.0 so now I have to pay for a new engine for a car I just bought for 23,000 a year ago. I was also told even if they do a recall I may not be reimbursed for the cost of the new engine. I am absolutely appalled that a car with 65,000 miles requires a new engine, this is Ford design issue and they are not taking any responsibility. I see there is a class action lawsuit against them for this issue. We are a Ford family owning 3 of them but after this experience I am trading them all in and will never buy a Ford again. All they have to do is the right thing but instead they won’t do it. There is a service bulletin for this exact issue. The dealership is very kind but nothing they can do to help.
So the car has a code p0302 coolant is leaking in cylinder #2 which is causing the car to run rough and overheat because of coolant loss and from what I understand can eventually cause a engine fire I’ve taken it to a shop to find this out but it hasn’t been inspected by the manufacturer police or insurance representatives the check engine light has been intermittently coming on and going back off until one day it just stayed on
In June our 2017 Ford Edge's check engine light came on. We took it to our mechanic who told us it would need a new engine block due to leaking coolant, but that they don't do that. He told us there is a TSB out and advised us to take it to the dealership. We took it to West Hills Ford in Bremerton on July 15 and they confirmed it has the known defect and that it does need a new engine due to the coolant intrusion. For reference, my car has less than 30,000 miles on it, but it is past the 5 year mark that Ford will cover. West Hills Ford has had our car for 3 weeks without working on it because we are trying to get our extended warranty to help cover the cost of a new engine. We are lucky that we dropped it off when we did because we have read about this known issue causing smoke, and even the car catching on fire!
