My car stated hesitating when you’re trying to accelerate and slightly shaking a couple days before my check engine light turned on. I took it to a local mechanic which informed me they did a test and my coolant mixed with the oil. They made a call to Ford and was informed that the only option was to replace the whole engine. He was unable to repair it because understaffed went to two other mechanics and they also were unable to help. My car is now with Ford dealership for more than 2 weeks and was just again diagnosed for $159 and they once again confirmed I will need a whole new engine at just over 70,000 miles $8400 and no idea when they will be able to get the parts in… could be 3 months.
2017 Ford Edge engine complaints
Page 28 of 32: complaints 791 to 820 of 913, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2.0 Ecoboost engine failure. Driving car, started smoking, check engine light came on, lost power, pulled to the side of the road to avoid being hit by traffic, vehicle stalled and stopped. Engine had to be replaced.
the coolant leaked onto the coil of the motor & now my motor has to be replaced-extended warranty ran out & now looking at 8500-9000k to replace engine. my car is in immaculate condition, well maintained & I paid 40,000k when I purchased in 2017- has 84,000k miles.I have read online at CarGurus complaint after complaint of the same exact problem. The technician at Freedom Ford advised that this has happened to numerous 2.0L Ecoboost motors from 2017-2019 & now the motors have been changed & the problem no longer occurs after 2019. He says that he knows of no recalls. Ford is very well aware of the problem & should do a recall- we paid good money for these cars & they should last longer.
My car started rough idling, about a week after that the check engine light came on. We took it to get checked out, the code was for a misfire on cylinder 2. The technician performed an inspection and informed us that we needed new spark plugs and ignition coil. After installing the new parts, the technician noticed coolant inside the cylinders and the engine, there was also white smoke coming out of the tailpipe when starting the vehicle. Our technician did some more research and came across a service bulletin from Ford (19-2346) regarding 2.0 L Ecoboost engines. Our Ford Edge falls under the service bulletin. The technician informed us that the only fix would be a completely new engine which we had to pay for. We have submitted this to our warranty company and have received partial coverage for the repair and parts. We were without the car for almost a month while waiting for diagnostics, parts, and repair. When we brought it in originally and were under the impression we would get the car back the same day and were planning on a 6 hour road trip to attend my son's hockey tournament. I am so thankful that we had a thorough and diligent technician who noticed the coolant, otherwise I would have taken the car on the road and I'm sure the engine would have given out on me somewhere along the way, leaving me stranded in a remote area of Alaska in freezing temperatures.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact then took the vehicle to a dealer where she was informed that the engine had misfired. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that coolant had leaked into the engine cylinder which resulted in engine failure. The contact had the engine replaced by the dealer. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.
Engine rebuilt at 40k miles in 12/2018. Engine started burning the engine coolant at 90k miles 08/2021. The car while driving goes into a low power mode which stops the car from accelerating. Car is currently at the dealership awaiting parts for another engine rebuild replacing the same parts.
Engine is the 2 liter turbo version, when started the engine missed fired and ran rough which caused the check engine light to come on at ~58,000 miles. Took car to Roush Ford (Columbus Ohio) and dealer confirmed the misfire was caused by coolant leaking into engine. Dealer said a long block and related parts would be ordered to fix the problem. Now waiting for call from dealer to repair, no time frame given but they stated repair time would be long. Continue to drive car with engine light coming on and misfires at startup, hope car does not fail on freeway. Repairs may be covered by Ford but no info about rental car at Ford expense. Also have a 2015 Edge with same turbo engine which could fail the same way at any time as it has 80,000 miles.
mechanic told me that radiator fluid was leaking into the number 2 cylinder which could cause the car to lose power. motor is a 2.0 eco boost. car has 62000 miles. i believe this is a very dangerous situation going down a busy highway or actually anytime. ford has known about this problem for a long time but has failed to do anything. mechanic told me many 2.0 motors has this problem of anti-freeze leaking into motor and ford issued a message about the problem to ford dealerships and how to fix it. their should be a recall to fix the problem before something bad happens. thank you
Car was mysteriously losing coolant which would lead to overheating. We would have to fill the coolant tank two times a month. When brought to the mechanic to find the leak, none could be found. Check engine light would go on and off periodically. One day, the car randomly wouldn't start. Being told by the mechanic that there is a catastrophic engine failure and the whole motor and turbo would need to be replaced. He said he had the same year and model come in not 2 months prior with the exact same issues. Coolant was leaking within the engine, hence why it couldn't be found during normal tests. a 2017 motor with less than 100,000 miles should not be experiencing engine failure.
My 3 ½ year old Ford Edge needs a new engine. It is a known problem with Ford Motor company and I believe there should be, if not a class action lawsuit against the company. My car is past the standard powertrain warranty and I declined extended warranty when I purchased the car. The check engine light came in. I took it to car dealer to figure out what was wrong and Kenny Ross Ford in Adamsburg, PA said I need a new engine. It is a 2017 Ford Edge with 73,000 miles. The local service center said it would be about 8-9k to fix it. There was not an issue with the vehicle reported under warranty. It sputtered a bit over the past three years, but I thought nothing of it. Normally I would just say it’s my bad luck, however this is a known problem with Ford Motor company. When my wife dropped the car off the dealership, the gentlemen at the dealer said he hopes it isn’t an engine replacement because it is common for that car. He didn’t even look at the car before saying that and he knew exactly what was going on. My wife told me about it so I immediately looked online. (See link at the end of this message with similar complaints about this car) One owner said they contacted the Kentucky attorney general’s office as well. Some of them said they had to replace the engine a second time after two years. Hundreds of people are reporting the SAME EXACT PROBLEM and it appears like the new motor they put eventually fails again. I feel that Ford Motor is purposefully hiding a design flaw and don’t want to issue a recall because of the cost. I feel cheated and I want them to replace my motor at no cost or buy my car back from me at full KBB trade in value at excellent condition. I contacted them directly on Friday and informed them that I was contacting the attorney generals office. I told them I want an engine replacement and I should not be responsible for it. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t69477_ds1054339
On Monday August 30th 2021 while driving the warning light stating that the engine was overheating came on. The engine was stopped and coolant level was checked and shown to be low within the engine. Coolant was refilled and the engine seemed to stabilize. On September 3rd 2021 the same overheating censor came on again and the car was taken to a licensed Ford dealer for emergency maintenance. On September 7th 2021 the repair shop called and reported that the issue was a leak in the cylinder for the coolant in the engine and that the entire engine would have to be replaced. The cost of the repair was quoted as $7636 plus tax. The car is only just over 62,000 miles with the warranty period having ended at 60,000 miles.
Engine overheating due to a KNOWN issue with coolant leaking into the cylinders of the 2017 Ford Edge. Ford knows about this issue as I have seen it reported on several different sites. This should be recalled as my vehicle began to overheat while I was driving. This puts my wife and my family at danger. I had my car serviced at the Ford dealership since it was purchased and this issue was never brought up. So this is not a servicing issue it is an issue with the engine itself.
The engine in the 2017 Ford Explorer has a history of seizing, catching fire and failure without notice. This could cause serious injury or death. This is a very well known problem at Ford Motor Company and they are doing nothing to fix it. In fact they are hiding from it. The internet is loaded with information on this. The coolant leaks into the engine and destroys it. This has happened so much there are no more engines available in the country. It's not a matter if, it's a matter of when it will happen. 40,000 miles? 60,000 miles? My car has 77,000 miles. Ford is asking customers replace the engine at $7700 to the customer. There should be a recall and replacement process from Ford Motor Company fully funded by Ford. They engineered a bad engine. Sold it to the public. And they are ignoring the safety of the public for money. I have dealt with Morrie's Minnetonka Ford in Minnetonka Minnesota and they say Ford will not recall the engine despite the danger to the public. As usual it's all about the money. Happy to assist you with any details.

In the Ford Edge Titanium model (I own a 2017), the 2.0L engine developed a crack in the long block between cylinders. This causes coolant to leak in the cylinders and the spark plug to seize. The engine will miss-fire and could stop running. This has happened to a multitude of Ford Edges and Escapes with the 2.0L engine. Ford is very aware of this issue.
Driving Edge with 62,000 miles on it and had a Check Engine Light later determined to be P303 (cylinder 3 misfire). I replaced coolant after finding the reservoir low. I noticed white smoke and misfiring engine at first start. The engine stuttered on the freeway and was unsafe. Ford Dealership determined a coolant leak caused this issue and will replace the engine minus my deductible on my extended service plan. As I understand it, this ecoboost engine is prone to this defect. I am only getting a rental car for 5 days on a job that will be much longer.
On way to beach on 6/6/2021 the check engine light came on and warning that car may be overheating came on, pulled to side of road until car cooled down. It ran hot but was full of coolant and not leaking. Took to to Moyer Ford in Foley, Al on 6/7/2021 with 65243 miles on car and was told would need new engine for this 2017 Ford Edge with less than 70,000 miles in it. Spent $5,500 for a new engine on a vehicle with less than $70,000 and 4 years old.
Coolant leaking into engine. Check engine light came on 07/11/2021. Took vehicle to local auto store for diagnostic test. Was told a mid ire in cylinder 2. Took vehicle to neighborhood auto shop on 07/12. Mechanic said it was the same issue to take it to the dealership due to the warranty. Brought my vehicle to dealership on 07/13. On the way to the dealership my vehicle died out on the expressway. After 6 hours of waiting, was told did not know what was causing the problem but needed to keep it. Was not provided another vehicle. I had to come out of pocket for a rental. Called on 7/20 and was told it might be my transmission and low engine coolant. Called again on 07/23, was told it was the battery. I called on 7/26 was told I need a new engine. There are complaints about this issue. Ford motor company knows about the issue. This issue with the vehicle could has caused serious injury or death to me or my family. The lack of communication is horrible.
Vehicle began exhibiting a loud rattle from the engine at idle. Took vehicle to dealer and they identified it as a cracked flex plate (flexplate). While vehicle was still drivable at the time, the flex plate had the potential to fully fail at any time, which would cause power loss to the wheels. Vehicle has 62000 miles, just outside of power train warranty, and expected to cost $5000 to $10000 to repair.
I have a ecoboost engine on my Ford Edge that has known issues from Ford. Currently after driving past the 60k mile warranty cylinder 4 on my engine started leaking coolant into the engine block. I took my car to Ford to get it checked because I started to get notifications that the engine was overheating while in the car with my toddler. The mechanic informed me later that there was a TSB 19-2346 on my car and many others like it. I was told Ford would no help in anyway with replacing the engine. There was supposed to be a sensor inside my car to let me know about the coolant levelling dropping the way they have been but there wasn’t even that. The car only let me know of the issue at the end when it started overheating to dangerous levels
The engine block is cracked and fluid is leaking into the cylinders.
The engine of my 2017 Ford Edge began to misfire intermittently in 2019. When it was finally able to be diagnosed in 2020, it was determined fuel had escaped around a spark plug. The spark plugs were replaced. Approximately one year later, the issue began again. Upon further inspection, it was found that a head gasket had gone bad. While there is not definite evidence of a coolant leak, it is suspected a leak may have initiated the issue. Research has also indicated the engine block is most likely cracked. While driving, the engine would often lull and stop accelerating. This happened several times as I attempted to drive down the interstate, being forced to exit the highway due to not being able to move with the speed of traffic. After the first repair of the spark plugs, the car seemed to drive fine, however, they shouldn't have gone bad within a year of install indicating a much larger issue. The car is unable to be driven. Even with replacing the head gasket, I do not feel the car would be safe with a cracked engine block. Nor should the motor have gone bad this soon.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving to her destination. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the engine to be replaced. The contact also took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was also informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer and the engine was replaced. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000. The consumer stated she was told not to drive the vehicle anymore due to the fact the engine might freeze up and spent $5400 to have the engine repaired.
Engine defect - Coolant leaking into cyclinder- requires whole new engine
Service Code P0302 and P0316 indicating Cylinder #2 malfunction/misfiring---2017 FORD Edge SE FWD 2.0L EcoBoost. Check engine light came on at 59,995 miles, Sunday, March 28, 2021. Thus far, no one in danger. But some of the symptoms of this inherent, internal engine, failure code make the operation of the vehicle dangerous. The vehicle may stop abruptly or stall out. Occasionally, engine runs rough, shakes with hesitations and jerks with acceleration. 06/18/2021 inspected at Pinnacle FORD in Nicholasville, Ky. "Allowed engine to reach operation temperature and pressurized for 5 hours, 8 PSI drop in pressure. Removed spark plug and used borescope to verify coolant intrusion in the cylinder.

Coolant leak into cylinder. Manufacture defect. Known issue by Ford but will not cover any replacement as vehicle is out of warranty by 7000 miles. A 2017 with 67000 driven by a grandma 5 mph under the speed limit should not need a new engine. Engine light comes on. Misfires. Puffs of white smoke. Didn’t take to dealer as closest if 1/2 hour away. Took to local repair shop. They ran codes and said it is a known problem from Ford. the federal safety agency ID Number: 10162071 Manufacturer Communication Number: TSB 19-2208 Summary Some 2015-2018 Edge and 2017-2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape/MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a low coolant level, white exhaust smoke and/or a runs rough condition with or without an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may include P0300, P0301-P0304, P0316, P0217, P1285 and/or P1299 stored in powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to replace the long block engine assembly. This needs to be a recall or at least Ford needs to cover the replacement costs for those with issues.
2017 Ford edge with 79,000 miles began to make a loud engine rattle, it almost sounded like someone had put a semi-engine in it overnight. No check engine lights ever appeared. Took it to a local shop and they came out to look at it and said it sounded really bad and I needed to tow it to a Ford House immediately. Once Ford took it apart they found that the flywheel had cracked, and it caused my crankshaft to crack as well. They're saying I need a complete engine replacement for $8,000. Big safety issue that no check engine light never came on with complete engine failure.
Service light came on then overheat light - took to dealer to check. Told by service guy that the tech has performed a long pressure test on the coolant system to find a leak. There are no external leaks so we checked and found coolant intrusion inside the cylinder head. The fix for that is a complete engine assembly.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine at start-up. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where a pressure test was performed. The test showed that coolant had been leaking into the cylinder block. Due to the failure, the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
Engine light came on with 83,690 miles. Carried to local Ford dealership. Problem was coolant leakage into engine(which my research has shown is a common issue). The solution is engine replacement at cost of around $7000. This is a known problem and Ford has yet to correct it.
2017 Ford Edge w/2.0 EcoBoost engine. Vehicle had about 64000 miles, started vehicle in morning and it idled rough. Check engine light came on. I used a code reader and it showed "random misfire, cylinder 4" P0304. Reset the check engine light and drove for about 10 more days. Started again in the morning and it idled rough causing the check engine light to come on again. I took vehicle to Ford and they diagnosed "fluid intrusion into cylinder walls". Service adviser knew exactly what it was when I described problem, saying "this is a common occurrence". Replaced engine at a cost of $5302 since it was approx. 6ooo miles out of warranty. Found numerous online complaints about this same engine and same problem. Ford seems to know about it because in Dec. 2019 they issued TSB #19-2346 describing the problem and the steps to fix it (new engine and the required parts to order). many online complaints describe low coolant and overheating. My engine would of gotten there if I hadn't taken it in to the dealer.
