2017 Ford Edge: windshield wiper failure

Filed Feb 27, 2025 · Brakes, Fuel system · WA

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.

My engine light came on and the purge valve was replaced. I have 71k miles on my edge. Two weeks later the light came back on and on my way to the Ford service department, I started to get warnings of coolant leaking into engine, the car was powering down and i barely it there. I was told that I need a new engine at $8,500! I just put new tires on, new brakes and rotors, new wipers and replaced a purge valve, all for thousands of dollars. I don’t have $8,500 so I am out a vehicle!!! I borrowed my friend’s ford edge 2018 with 29k and within 3 weeks the engine light came on and I was driving it to be checked out with his mechanic to have it completely power down with the same frightening message of coolant leaking into the engine. Both our cars are sitting and out of commission!!! Ford needs to help its customers with repairs on their defective ecoboost engine design. My car was garaged, loved and always serviced at a ford dealership. I am sick over this entire situation for myself and friend and all the other ford customers faced with this poor engine design. My edge is a 2017 and my friend has a 2018…how can one person carefully driving both cars within 3 weeks time have both engines completely die and need total replacements!!! I hope a class action lawsuit comes soon!
