Coolant leaking into engine
Was driving vehicle engine light came on at 33;000 miles took in for service and was told it needs engine .. Just found out that this is an issuse that is reaccouring and need to be replaced with engine that doesn't have this problem. , . Why isn't ford doing this.
At roughly 77,500 miles our engine starting misfiring both while stationary and in motion. The check engine light came on. We pulled code p0305, indicating cylinder #2 misfire. We replaced the coils and spark plugs and the engine continued to misfire. We then began hearing fluid moving behind our dash board and noticed that the coolant tank was low but no visible coolant leak was found. We took the car to a local ford dealer's service center (woodhouse ford - omaha, ne) for inspection and diagnosis. They confirmed that engine coolant was leaking into cylinder #2, causing the misfire. It was also leaking into the heating element, causing a putrid smell in the cab of the vehicle and the rushing fluid sound behind the dashboard. They confirmed this is related to ford tsb 19-2346. Ford stated that the repair requires a $6300 replacement engine and they are not liable for the damage to the engine as a result of their defect. Per the tsb, this engine defect may result in engine fires but fortunately it did not get to this point for us.
Engine light on my 2017 edge came on when I started it. The car was shaking and running rough. Took it to dealer who said when they tried to replace the spark plugs, they broke on off. They then discovered the block cracked and coolant got into the cylinders. The only fix action is to replace the engine. This is a common problem that ford needs to acknowledge.

Vic bailey ford (501 e daniel morgan ave, spartanburg, sc 29302, (864) 585-3600) was contacted and made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
Around 70,000 miles my check engine light came on. My car has also been shaking upon acceleration, which has been up to this point, unable to be diagnosed. I took my car into a ford dealership, and they said that coolant was leaking into cylinder 4, and that the whole engine will need to be replaced. They also said this is a known issue with this vehicle.
Car engine idles rough and white smoke comes out of exhaust. The check engine light came on while I was driving 20 miles per hour on my town road and I took it to the mechanic he said the coolant is leaking into cylinder head number 2. We had to fill the coolant reservoir because it was very low.
My 2017 ford edge with a 4 cylinder 2.0 ecoboost engine and 81,000 miles needs a new engine, as per my local ford dealer. I recently had coolant leak into the engine through the cylinders. All preventative maintenance work, including oil changes, have been done when required. Dealership tells me the vehicle is out of warranty and totally my responsibility to replace the engine at a cost of approximately $8,500. This problem exists with ford ecoboost engines all over the country and ford has been aware of it for years. No recalls have been made since many of these problems occur after the warranty has expired and then it's the customers responsibility. Ford motor company is not taking responsibility for their product when they have known for some time that they have problems with the ecoboost engine.
Check engine light came in. Took car for repair was told it was the spark plugs. Week later check engine came back in. Was told it was misfire codes then cleared. Week later (3rdweek in row) heard swooshing sound like liquid running towards the front of car where the heat vents located and check engine back on with car gas mileage decreasing from 147 miles to 25 miles during a 5 min ride to dealership. Told low coolant and coolant leaking into engine thus destroying engine. Entire engine needs to be replaced. Car has 42000 miles on it.
On my 2017 ford edge the epb motor and ABS module went out at 62,000 miles resulting in brakes dragging and very difficult to release the parking brake with the danger of locking up while driving. Also the engine is a 4 cylinder 2 liter ecoboost and has been leaking coolant into cylinder number 2 causing coolant level to drop and the engine misfiring eventually leading to a engine warning light. Ford has issued a service bulletin to look out for these problems. The only remedy is engine replacement at a cost of at least $8,000.00. Ford has been aware of these problems for quite a long time but has not issued a recall and will not help with the cost of repair. I believe my engine had this problem before the powertrain warranty expired at 60,000 miles. I am not a mechanic and did not notice the problem until my check engine light came on at approx. 61,500 miles. I think ford should bear the responsibility of engine replacement as the engine has failed before 62,000 miles. A car engine should last much longer. After doing research I have seen complaints of dozens of similar cases of the ecoboost engines having the same problem and beleive it has a design flaw.

Check engine light came on. Took car to dealership for diagnostic. Coolant leaking into #2 cylinder -- 88,000 miles on the car and it requires a total engine replacement. Dealership estimate of $9,000 to fix.
Diagnostic done by ford identified that cylinders 1 and 3 misfire. The engine assembly has an internal coolant leak at cylinders 1 and 3. There is coolant intrusion at cylinders 1 and 3. A class action lawsuit has been filed against ford regarding this ecoboost engine. My car stalls and cannot exceed 60 MPH. The resolution is the replacement of the long block. Ford hasn't issued a recall for the 2.0 l engine but has issued several technical service bulletins.

Coolant leaking into #1 cylinder causing rough idle at start-up and misfire dtc. Tsb issued by manufacturer to replace long block, but no recall or compensation for repair.
Vehicle was taken in for a check engine light on 3/11/2019 in was in a tsp status with ford that turned into a recall. The recall has not been successfully repaired to this date and has been into the service center 10 times. It is currently there again. Ford has made all of the repairs under warranty. However, a dangerous issue persists with the engine. The vehicle cannot be driven and fords master mechanics have not solved the issues. The vehicle cannot be driven because it presents a very clear hazard for the occupants as well as the public. The engine looses coolant rapidly with ford not being able to determine when the coolant goes. The engine seizes and causes you to have to immediately stop.
I received a check engine light at approximately 83,300 miles while driving at approximately 30mph for half a mile. Diagnostic trouble code p0303 was shown and coolant was observed in the cylinder by the auto repair shop. New engine recommended by repair shop referring to tsb 19-2346.

The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 104,500.
Frst noticed in november the car would not generate heat while at idle. This prevented defrosting of windshield. Noticed heat would return at higher revs, but this also decreased. Noticed fluid level was low added antifreeze and heat returned somewhat but not at idle. Car has 36,200 miles, just off warranty. This is an obvious safety hazard since drivingin winter requires a functioning defroster. Local mechanic noted that check engine light for misfire of cylinder #1 indicated a head gasket leak which was where my coolant was disappearing. There are no signs of outward leaks, or a oder of coolant in the cabin from the heat core. It is now january, and I cannot drive the car due to lack of heat and risk of damage to the engine. Emailed my dealer, but as of yet no response.
Car engine light turned on with only 48k miles and ford stated my car needs a new engine due to being improperly made and coolant leaking into engine.
Car has 69,000 miles. Check engine light has come on. Was told a new engine is needed because coolant is leaking into the cylinders. Thousands of the same complaint and now we are told we need a new engine on a car that is barely three years old and of course out of warranty. Why has not one thing been done to resolve this with ford. Had we known we were buying a lemon we would have never purchased this vechicle. Ford knows this is a problem and they have done nothing to rectify the defect in the product they put out on the market. We have no recourse here and what ford has done borders on illegal to have a known probem with no recourse for the consumers.
I was running errands driving around town one day when I noticed my auto engine start/stop feature in my 2017 ford edge stopped working. I took my car to the dealership & they said it was a misfire in the engine. A week later, a yellow light with the picture of an engine appears on my dash. I took my car for a diagnostic. It came back with the code p0304. I take my car to ford and they suggest replacing the long block. They quote me $6,800. I noticed that my heat in my car stopped working on the way home. I check the coolant level and it was really low. I put coolant in my reservoir and it works again. But, I have to keep filling the reservoir with coolant every other day, which gets expensive. I tell the service guys, and they tell me that the coolant is leaking into my engine due to a manufacturer defect, which causes the heating to stop working, and low coolant levels. I contact ford motors company, and they tell me my car is out of warranty. I purchased my car used on february 27,2020. It had 57 thousand miles on it the day of purchase. The warranty was up at 60 thousand miles. Not fair to me at all as I was told I had a warranty from the mileage I got the car at and 60 thousand miles beyond. They said it was nothing they can do and also because I did not leave my car at the ford dealership they would not work on my case. My case manager from ford motors never ever contacted me prior to closing my case once she discovered I never left my car at ford. I tried reaching out to her several times in attempts of getting my car to ford and seeing where we can go from there, and she never answered or returned any of my calls or emails. Ford needs to be held accountable and issue a recall as they were made aware of the expensive issue by many other customers from reviews and forums I have read online and heard from other edge owners.
Happens every time I brake. Hitting the brake to stop engine shakes violently as I come to a stop. In addition to violent engine shaking the car is thrusting forward. I have to put my foot harder on the brake not to hit the vehicle in front of me. I will have to throw it in neutral to stop the shaking. In neutral the engine revs. When traffic begins to move I have to put it back in drive and hit the gas but then it lags severely. It won't go anywhere for multiple seconds before it finally takes off. That literally happens everytime I stop and go. If you are in park and have your foot on the brake too long before putting in a gear it stalls out. I have taken it to the ford dealership and opened a case with ford corporation who both deemed the vehicle unsafe, but neither want to take care of the issue. This issue has been going on for months. I've taken it to the ford dealership twice and ford has denied to assist with getting it fixed twice. There are so many unsafe 2017 ford edge transmissions. I wish they would have to pay for this. It's very scary to drive. My documents are in the ford computer system. They say the whole transmission locks up and rhe whole transmission needs replaced. I've almost been hit so many times pulling out because the car doesn't go.
Vehicle began to idle roughly upon cold start, after a few minutes it would idle normally. After a few weeks the check engine light came on. Took to dealer for diagnosis and repair. Was told that the engine needed to be replaced. They said it will take several weeks before they receive a new engine. We were not offered a loaner vehicle, we had to ask for a loaner vehicle. Our vehicle has approximately 28,000 miles. After doing some research online, apparently this has been a known problem with this model vehicle. The problem appears to be a coolant leak into the engine cylinder. There are many complaints from owners of this same problem. Most people have been made to pay thousands of dollars for this engine replacement. We have an extended warranty and, so far, have not been told we will be financially responsible for our repair. Ford has not recognized this as an issue that should be categorized as a recall, thus leaving people with a large repair bill. The engine design obviously have a defect that should necessitate a formal recall.
Coolant leakage in cylinder #2..was told need new long block....new engine...not covered under extended warrenty due to the fact failing part is not a lubercated part....isn't an engine lubercated?
The engine starts rough but clears and the vehicle uses some radiator fluid. We took it to have it checked out and the dealer told us we need a new engine. Ford has a technical service bulletin out for this issue but because we are over on the mileage they will not cover anything. We now have a 3 year old vehicle that is basically worth nothing. I called ford motor company and they will not even admit that they have a problem with this defective engine. The dealer told us that the new motors have the defect corrected. I feel ford should stand behind a defective engine but they won't until the government tells them to.
