Vehicle Safety Complaint – 2017 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost VIN: [XXX] the federal safety agency Service Request: XXX I am submitting a formal vehicle safety complaint regarding a 2017 Ford Edge equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. The vehicle has experienced recurring overheating problems, including at highway speeds. Multiple diagnostic and repair efforts have been undertaken, including replacement of cooling-system components and evaluation by an authorized Ford dealership. The case involves suspected coolant intrusion into the engine, a condition addressed in Ford Technical Service Bulletin 22-2229. I have sought assistance from Ford Motor Company and requested a technical review and goodwill consideration. I am concerned that this condition could cause unexpected engine overheating, loss of engine power, or engine failure while driving, creating a potential safety hazard. I respectfully request that the federal safety agency review this complaint, consider the available Ford diagnostic documentation, and evaluate its relevance to investigation DP26-008. Please assign an ODI Complaint Number and advise whether additional documentation is required. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

What 2017 Ford Edge owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The coolant is getting consumed by the engine. I need to add coolant every so often and there is no visible leaks in the hoses. It cause the check engine light to come on, a rough idle at start, and a cylinder to misfire.
Recently I have noticed, in my 2017 Ford Edge SEL, that my coolant level in reservoir has been low a few times with no puddling anywhere under car. I have read that this is a known issue with this vehicle that has the 2.0L ECOBOOST engine. What can be done about this? From what I have been reading, this a design issue that Ford knows about but has not offered a fix. The cost to replace the engine is more than vehicle is worth. Is there some financial assistance or full coverage to cover the cost for my vehicle to be fixed? This has been an ongoing issue starting with, shifting hard at times, coolant loss with no explanation, and rough idling after cold start.
The check engine light is on and upon diagnostics it shows there is an issue with the EVAP purge valve. This cause the vehicle to have problems starting when refueled. Cost of the repair is around $1000 due to where the valve is.

The 2.0 ecoboost engine 2017 Ford Edge Titanium coolant leaking into many places. White smoke coming from exhaust flooding into the streets I have been told the Long block issue as well. The vehicle was at an independent service center where it sat for over three weeks while they worked hard trying to find the issues. Finally they advised me to get a second opinion through Ford which I did for over $300 for the same inspection. They have given me an outrageous estimate of over $16,000 to repair the issues. This is a common issue with this particular engine. I have read numerous complaints since purchasing it . Ford needs to be held accountable for all these defective engines they have yet to recall these dangerous vehicles. My vehicle is currently sitting in storage because it is inoperable. I’m still making loan payments on this defective vehicle. I have reached out to Ford many times for assistance and they have turned me away. I will soon have to file a Lawsuit against Ford if they do not come forward and resolve this issue. I will never ever purchase another Ford.
On multiple occasions, the climate control system cuts out causing no defrost, the wipers stop working, and while driving the rear brake line failed which almost caused an accident. Ford stated it was outside of the warranty however the vehicle is driven only on streets and seems like a strange failure.
Took my car to my mechanic said that coolant was draining into my 2.0 ecoboost engine in cylinder 4 causing misfire, white smoke to come out of my pipes, sweet antifreeze smell in the cabin. Have to constantly dump coolant into the car so that it doesn't over heat.when i start the car in the morning it acts as if the car is going to die if I don't hit the gas. Contacted ford, they said it was my problem. I bought the car a year ago. It started at about 72000 miles.
