Check engine light appeared at approximately 59,000 miles. ( just out of warranty as iIwas over the 5 years (expired March 28 2023) but under the 60,000miles. Was able to get an appt at a local dealer at 59483 miles, they did not diagnose issue, as they needed more time, set up another appt 2 weeks later and was told a new engine is needed due to coolant leaking into the engine block. Was told this is a known issue and FORD has since redesigned. Estimated cost to repair of $7000, and first available appt is 12 weeks out I have been told that the car could just stop at some point. Have read on line that major concerns with driving it, if coolant is low, could cause an engine fire. Reached out to FORD Customer Care and after much prompting was told only provide 30-40% assistance. Mind you had this happened prior to March 28 it would have been covered , Great car until now. Do not buy a used 2017 Edge.
2017 Ford Edge engine complaints
Page 22 of 32: complaints 611 to 640 of 913, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while his daughter was driving 77 MPH, the vehicle started to lose motive power. The driver stated the high-temperature gauge, and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The driver was able to park on the side of the road and called the contact to add a gallon and a half of anti-freeze to the coolant reservoir. The contact drove the vehicle back to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,361.
According to Ford dealership, the coolant has leaked in to the engine and Ford knows about thr problem. My car is out of warranty and thr only assistance for is offering is 40% of the 8000 to replace the parts.
1. The component that failed/malfunctioned was the engine, specific to the coolant spilling into cylinder 3 due to the known design flaw of the 2.0 Eco-boost engine. Is it available upon request for inspection. 2. Regarding safety, upon start, the engine was sputtering (misfiring) and would continue, intermittently throughout the drive. White smoke was emitted through both exhaust pipes. The coolant was running low consistently, would have to refill. 3. The problem has been confirmed at a local repair shop and it's currently at a dealership and has been confirmed to have the misfire/coolant issue. Diagnosis: New Motor/Engine - thousands of dollars! Unacceptable! 4. The vehicle has been inspected by mechanics (repair shop and certified Ford mechanic) 5. Yes. The check engine light came on, the code was P03003 (cylinder 3). This code first appeared on a trip, replaced ignition coil and spark plug, and still the issue persisted.
My 2017 Ford Edge has a 4 cylinder EcoBoost Engine. My vehicle warning light came on or about June 20, 2023. I took it to a local mechanic. He advised that it was low on engine coolant, so he refilled it and advised that this type of engine has a known problem with coolant leaks. I next took the vehicle to Sunbelt Ford in Sylvester, GA. The dealership advised that there was nothing wrong with my vehicle. On or about July 24, 2023 I started my vehicle and heavy smoke emitted from the engine and the exhaust. The check engine warning light also came on. I turned off the vehicle and had a local mechanic inspect it. The mechanic advised that I had experienced catastrophic engine failure, and was fortunate that I was not driving at the time. I soon found out that Ford is involved in numerous lawsuits and complaints regarding this exact issue with this exact engine. It’s wildly unethical and dangerous that Ford has not advised all owners of the known problems with this engine. Additionally, I’m 73 years old living on Social Security. It’s $6500 to replace my defective engine as quoted by Robert Hutson Ford in Moultrie, GA.
Vehicle vibration and not switching into next gear. Engine light flashes when this is happening. When not flashing engine light stays on.it is scary that it is going to quit in traffic.

My 2007 Ford Edge / 2.0 Ecoboost engine model (with only 69,000+ miles) had a distinct unsettling shake upon starting, and would occur occasionally during regular driving - causing Check Engine light to appear. Ford dealership inspected and verified that "coolant leaked into the 3rd cylinder - causing a crack in the engine - and only remedy is a total engine replacement." Obviously now an unsafe vehicle to drive. Upon my research / lengthy investigation, I found hundreds of similar failures with this model (to include 2015-2018 Ford Edges with 2.0 Ecoboost engine). Models with this engine version will eventually fail - usually around the 70,000 mile average landmark (which is ironically slightly out of from Ford's 60,000 warranty coverage - rendering this "not covered" by Ford) - and Ford has apparently known this for years. Ford's choices / options offered to me (and upon reading, hundreds of others) center on my being responsible for paying for the replacement - making me responsible for the cost (quoted price from the dealer was around $8200.00) on a vehicle with only 69,000+ miles on it - with a flawed engine design that Ford has been aware of. Was told (in similar if not exact terms) that they aren't responsible for the replacement cost because "There is no Recall on this", and "you are out of warranty" (but by less than 10,000 miles). Or another option is "you can trade it in" (for substantially below what it used to worth). In addition to my being responsible for the cost, the Edge is now worth less than what it was, as if I resell it, I'll need to disclose the problem - and engine replacement. In summary, this is not only unacceptable on the surface, but morally reprehensible. A recall on this (and other similar models), making Ford responsible to costs regarding this well known engine flaw is the right course of action not on for myself, but for the (at least) hundreds with the same problem - and thousands that will eventually have the problem. Thank you.
Engine and combustion chambers cylinder 2 and 3, yes it's available for inspection Sudden overheat and engine failure on road can lead to a serious accidents, also with coolant being leaked in to the combustion chamber could lead to explosions or implosions with the pressure conditions, also there was lot of white, blue smoke outside which was unbreathable Yes, coolant leakage to the combustion chamber is observed by a independent service center No, not at the moment, however this was observed in many 2015-2018 Ford Edge models according to the manufacturer and also said by the independent service center They appeared with the failure but not prior to the failure
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the engine misfired, and the vehicle shuddered and wobbled. The contact stated that the failure persisted while driving. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that there was coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders, and the long block needed to be replaced. The dealer related the failure to Ford Technical Service Bulletin Number: 22-2229. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the repair could not be covered under the TSB because the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
I took my 2017 Ford Edge to the Dave Arbogast Ford when my check engine light came on. The dealership stated I need a new engine because coolant was leaking into cylinder 2 causing the misfire which led to the check engine light. After doing some research this is a well known issue with 2015-2018 Ford Edges. A service announcement was put out by Ford on their website (posted June 26, 2019) yet this was never stated to me by the Dave Arbogast Ford dealership when I bought the card in July 2020. My safety and my children's safety has been put at risk due to this issue. This causes the car to potentially overheat and not be used.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated while starting. Additionally, the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal. In addition, a white colored smoke began to emit from the vehicle as the check engine light appeared on the instrument panel. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where they discovered that coolant had leaked into cylinder #1 and that the engine block needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure where a case was filed. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated.

The contact called the local dealer, who referred her to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was contacted and referred her to the dealer and the federal safety agency Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 80,619.
The vehicle has a blown head gasket on its 2.0L ecoboost engine. It has all the same codes as the other vehicles that are affected by the recall #20V469000. It is a 2017 Ford Edge. It is loosing coolant into cylinder number 3. I'm 8000 miles out of my warranty and they want $9600 to fix the issues. I can't understand why this vehicle is not part of the recall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
cracked cylinder causing coolant to leak
Coolant leak which is causing engine to overheat. This is a common problem with Fords but my VIN is not included. Has been confirmed by an independent service center. It’s a safety issue that could cause the vehicle to overheat and disable. I keep having to add coolant at times on side of road. I receive an engine coolant above temperature and a check engine light.

Engine light- P0301 Misfire Cyl # 1 Was told we needed a new engine at 59,351 miles.
Check engine light came on and the code was saying cylinder 3 was misfiring. After numerous tests it was determined coolant was leaking into the cylinder from a crack in the block. Doing my own research I found this is a known issue for this make and model and year of car, however FORD has refused to recall it. There is a TSB about it but nothing else. I had to pay $10,000 for the shop to put in another engine. Two days after I got it back the check engine light came on again only this time it said cylinder 2 was misfiring. Took it back to the shop that put in the engine and it turns out this engine also had a crack in the block and was leaking coolant into the cylinders. I am now without a car again and have to wait for another engine to be put in. However there is no guarantee this one will not have the same issue come up.

The engine is faulty, it has a radiator leak into the cylinders. Causing misfire, overheating, or even engine combustion.
I purchased my Ford Edge about 4 years ago at approximately 25000 miles from Tom Ahl in Lima Ohio. It currently has 73989 miles. I have been faithful in my maintenance of the vehicle. I started having rough start that last only briefly and made an appointment with my mechanic. He said the code was cylinder 3 and changed the coil pack. This did not resolve the problem. He then changed the spark plugs. Still did not resolve the issue. I took it to the Ford dealership which determined there was coolant leaking into the cylinders and the engine needed replaced. After doing some research, I learned this is a very common problem with the 2017 Ford Edge Eco boost 2.0 engine. Ford has know about the problem since 2010 and corrected it in 2020. Engines have failed and caught on fire due to this issue. I feel an engine should last longer than 73989 miles and it is a defect in the way the engine was built and cooled. I am filing this complaint in hopes that a recall will be issued. The replacement is costing me over 8000 dollars. I don't want to turn off the code and dump on some one else and I also cant afford to just junk the vehicle. So I am hoping for a recall. Many people have had to deal with this and if Ford had made it known, I would have never purchased this vehicle.
The 2017 Ford Edge is leaking coolant into the engine, and the dealership says that the only remedy is to replace the engine because it cannot be repaired but will need to be replaced. We bought this car brand new from the Ford dealership and did not expect to have a major repair cost so soon after the warranty ended. We have five more months to complete our car payments, and we also just purchased the Ford Maverick. This makes us feel uncertain about Ford. I also discovered that this problem has been known to Ford since 2010 and has not been corrected. We only took this car to the Ford dealership for service since we purchased it in 2017. This will cost us severl thousands to replace the engine. Warranty ended at 60 k and the vihecule is now at about 70k.
Vehicle engine runs extremely rough and shakes the vehicle after starting the engine. White exhaust smoke is also observed and coolant levels are steadily dropping over time. A pungent unpleasant odor is present near the exhaust as well. Vehicle has been experiencing this issue since June 2022 and has progressively gotten worse. The check engine light was illuminated so a OBD-II code reader was utilized on July 2, 2022. The diagnostic codes P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0316, P1026, and P1285 were found. I have reason to believe that it is related to the issues related to the technical service bulletin (TSB) 22-2229. I am concerned about safety regarding this issue. My immediate concern falls on the poisonous gases produced when the engine is burning coolant putting the driver and others near the vehicle at risk. In addition, the vehicle is unreliable and the issue may cause other parts of the engine to fail. I believe this is a Ford design flaw and they should be held responsible. A certified Ford dealership in Colorado will be running diagnostic tests after it has been dropped off for an appointment scheduled on 7/10/2023 at 8:45am MST.
