Loud slashing noises behind the dashboard and check engine light stating misfirecylinder two. Entire engine had to be replaced because of warping and coolant enter intrusion into cylinder two. This has been a known problem for years with Ford on this particular engine and no recall. Ford will not stand behind their engine. The repair shop that we had the new engine replaced has done three Ford engine replacements in the last five months due to the same issue.
Issues with 2.0 L EcoBoost engine overheating. A mechanic using a camera to investigate revealed coolant intrusion in engine. Mechanic located Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) #22-2133 which indicated it was a known problem by Ford and recommended engine replacement at owner's expense. This had to be performed by a Ford dealership so that the engine could be re-programmed using proprietary software. The out-of-pocket cost to replace the engine was $7,559.08, plus $183.00 for the tow to the dealership. The mechanic's shop charged $32.60 to diagnose the problem. This issue also led to simultaneously failure of the transmission which had to be replaced at a cost of $5,999.22.

At less than 70,000 miles on the engine, a check engine light came on (July 2025). To this point there had been no lights or warnings, but apparently there was coolant intruding into the engine cylinder. This likely had been an ongoing issue but finally created a warning light around 69,000. This design defect created the potential for immediate engine overheating while traveling at highway speeds. A dealer has yet to look at my vehicle but an independent service center diagnosed a blown gasket due to the intrusion. And others with the same engine 2.0L have suffered similar issues (as evidenced by recent June 2025 class action suit).
I am the owner of a 2017 Ford Edge with only 63k miles on it (VIN: [XXX] ), which I purchased from Depaula Ford in July of 2020. This vehicle has experienced significant engine problems consistent with the symptoms described in TSB 19 2346. Specifically, my vehicle has suffered coolant intrusion into the combustion chamber, leading to white smoke from the exhaust, misfires, and a noticeable loss of coolant. After diagnostic inspection at Depaula Ford in Albany, it was confirmed that the engine requires replacement. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
A coolant intrusion required the long block to be replaced.
I am filing this report due to a serious and costly engine failure in my 2017 Ford Edge Titanium with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. My vehicle has always been properly maintained and I recently experienced pre-mature engine issues at only 93,000 miles. The issue began with rough starts, hovering RPMs, and eventually led to a complete engine failure. My mechanic diagnosed the problem as coolant intrusion into the engine, which I have since learned is a known issue covered by Ford’s Technical Service Bulletin TSB 19-2208. It appears most people begin experiencing this issue at 50,000-90,000 miles. The cost to replace the engine is between $8,000 and $9,000, and my vehicle is no longer under warranty. I am still paying off this car, which makes this financially devastating — and this failure occurred well before the end of a reasonable engine lifespan. I’m concerned this issue poses a safety risk, as coolant loss and engine failure could happen suddenly while driving. Ford has not issued a recall or formal repair program, despite hundreds (if not thousands) of similar complaints online. I respectfully urge the federal safety agency to investigate the 2015–2018 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine for a potential recall or safety action related to premature engine failure due to internal coolant leaks.

Bought this car a couple of years ago. In the past 6 months we have had to have brakes/rotors fixed ($650), spark plugs, etc ($780). It's had issues with not starting after fueling up with gas. It's been riding rough and rattling/vibrating. Took it to mechanic and he told me it was a manufacturer issue with cylinder 3. Coolant has been leaking and causing misfires. Basically needs a engine rebuild. Recommended we call Ford dealership because it has had several reports filed for this reason. We immediately went to dealership and were basically told "not our problem". But we will run a diagnostic exam for $145 but unless it's under warranty it's your problem. We're like no thank you. Literally just had a $80 diagnostic exam done at the other mechanic. Still owe several thousand on this vehicle that's now basically gonna sit and rot away. Mechanic told us it was unsafe to drive.
