Coolant leaking into engine causing misfire and potential for car to overheat if not catch fire. The real issue is this is a KNOWN defect with Ford and to date they have not taken any action. Totally unacceptable!
Engine light came on. Car was driving fine. We are under 100m out of the 60k mi warranty. Coolant in the engine & engine needs needs replaced.
Check engine light on and kept loosing coolant. Code read as misfire in cylinder 2. Changed spark plugs and light still on. On the way to the dealership to to get it looked at, the engine blew. Bought the SUV in April of 2020. Now I am stuck with a vehicle with 20,000 left to pay on and no money to replace the engine. The SUV only has 63,000 miles on it.
2018 Ford Edge Titanium. Approximately 90000 miles on car and experiencing an engine misfire on cylinder 3. Dealer says antifreeze (which has recently been losing coolant on a constant basis) is leaking into the cylinder causing the misfire. Claims only fix currently is to replace engine at a substantial cost to me. I have read a few Ford forums for the 2.0 Liter engine and find this to be a symptomatic problem that Ford is not repairing in good faith due to a manufacturing issue.
The flywheel/flexplate is cracked and currently at dealership for repairs I can retrieve if needed. This is only noticeable during driving and can cause the engine to stop without notice. This is dangerous if in moving traffic. This problem has been confirmed with dealership in line tb19-2236. The damaged component has only been at the delaership to date, unsure if others will inspect. There were no warning lights, alerts or anything minus the rattling that started approximately 30 days ago. Ford is aware of the issue and has it documented for my model year and will not cover the extensive repair costs nor respond to the other claims similar to mine.
The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 10-15 MPH and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle loss motive power. There were no warning lights illuminated. Additionally, while driving the vehicle failed to move and revved up. The vehicle was restarted and worked as designed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to duplicate the failure. There were no DTC codes. The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.
We took our 2018 Ford Edge with 63000 miles in for oil change and brake line recall to Koucerek Ford in Wausau, Wi.. We notified them that it seems to be losing antifreeze since December. They called and informed us that the coolant is leaking into cylinders 2 and 3 and we need a new motor at a cost of $6200.00. I called Ford customer care and was denied any compensation because it was 3000 miles beyond the warranty.
Engine light came on with a P0303 code denoting a cylinder misfire. Dealer say engine needs to be replaced. I researched this online and this is happening to hundreds of people who purchased a 2017 - 2018 Ford Edge with a 2.0 ECO Boost engine.
I purchased the Ford Edge 09/28/2019 from Apple Ford Lynchburg VA, I noticed a ticking noise when crank up the SUV, around June the engine light came on and the vehicle shut off while driving down the road. I took it back to Apple Ford and they checked it and said that the motor had to be replaced. I took it to another mechanic and was told that the motor needed to be replaced. Apple Ford Manager John advised me that he would see if Ford Motors would replace and get back with me, he never did. I went over again to see him he told me the same thing but never called back. I called the owner and he said that he was going to call Ford Motor to see if they can help me out. Help Me they need to replace it. The owner advised me that a few of the vehicles had a cooling problem running hot. The other mechanic completed a Diagnostics p316 and P1285 and pressure test was recommended. The pressurized test cooling system found coolant in cyclinder walls after test.After performing pressure test 5 hrs.per TBS 192346 found that applied pressure dropped 7psi. Removed spark plugs found evidence of coolant in cyclinders. According to Owner's right a vehicle must not be more than 10 years old and is eligible for the vehicle to be repaired with no cost to the owner. According to www.fordproblems.com/flexplate-rattle for 2015-2018 Edge and carcomplaints.com rattling noise caused by a defective engine flexplate and that a class-action lawsuit wants Ford to properly recall the flexplates. states that owners have had flexplates replaced only a matter of time before they crack again.if unattended the plates a can shatter and cause a host of other problems such as knocking noise when engine shifts into gear, unsetting vibrations, loss of power at high speeds, vehicle won't be able to transfer engine power into transmission. Another thing while driving up hills the engine light would come on and go off after pulling the hill and couldn't drive no faster that 55 miles or light come back on.

There is an engine defect causing coolant to leak into cylinders on my 2018 Ford edge titanium ecoboost 2.0l turbocharged engine. This is a known safety problem and there have been many lawsuits regarding this issue. I have contacted Ford Corporate and they are only recommending to replace the long block instead of replacing the entire engine. There is potential to have damage to the cylinder heads, piston rods and other crucial parts in the engine which make me feel very unsafe about its future reliability when "only replacing the long block" which really seems like putting a band aid on the problem. They are not willing to spend the time or money to ensure that the vehicle is safe and the problem is properly diagnosed and resolved. This is alarming as it seems they are trying to cut corners in order to save money. Many people have had this problem and I heard from my private mechanic that they do so many 2.0l ecoboost a week at the dealership because of this exact same problem. I think the NTHSA should look into an engine recall. I also have had an open recall on the front brake lines needing to be replaced due to possible failure for over 1 year and Ford has dragged their feet. Please look into my specific case if possible.

One morning got in SUV for work. The SUV was hesitant about cracking as if starter was going so I thought, also had a small knocking/ticking noise after turning again it cranked. After a few days the engine light came on and wouldn't go off. Took the vehicle to the dealership to check and I was told that I needed an engine . The dealership found that cyclinder 2 miss fire nad traced and found coolant in cyclinder. I took the vehicle to a second shop for a second opinion thinking this can't be I only had it for a year and a few months. Second auto shop said same thing your vehicle need a motor. The second shop performed a pressure test found that after applied pressure dropped 7 psi Removed spark plugs and found evidence of coolant in cylinders.
Repeated 'misfire in cylinder 2' error code - from what i've seen online, this may mean that coolant is leaking into the engine block and can cause total engine failure. about 77,000 miles currently. Will be taking to dealership in a couple days, as it's a repeated issue and the dealership staff member we talked to said i shouldn't be driving the car, which we just bought in March 2021 from a used car Ford dealership.
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.
My engine light came on. Upon starting my car, its basa rough idle for a few seconds before going to normal. Code was ran an it was determined to be a cylinder 2 misfire. My heat had quit working. I looked under the hood and the coolant tank was early empty. I refilled it. A few days later, the light came on while driving saying over temperature. Checked again and coolant tank was almost empty again. Had it looked at and there was no sign of an external leak. Upon searching, I came across newson law in nashville who has a potential law suit against ford because of so many complaints for this exact issue in 2016-2018 edge with 1.5 or 2.0 ecoboost. Mine is a 2.0. All of the reviews I have read on this issue are the exact same issues happening. Most of which are happening after the warranty has ran out. This is the case for me.
My 2018 ford edge had the check engine light illuminate recently one morning when I started the engine. The engine had a rough idle/chugging and white smoke from the exhaust that also occurred when the engine light illuminated. I shut the engine down, and restarted the engine to see if the issue would replicate, which it did, but not as extreme. I had taken my vehicle into the local ford dealership about six prior to this incident for a faulty fuel valve, and the ford edge acted the same way, except that the vehicle engine would also chug after refueling, which it didn't do with this current issue. With this most recent case, I took the ford edge to the dealership for diagnosis at 10am several days later because they didn't have any immediate availability. The service manager told me at 430pm that afternoon they couldn't replicate the issue, but wanted to keep the vehicle overnight for further testing. At 130pm the following afternoon, I was told the engine would need to be replaced because coolant had leaked into the engine. Apparently, ford has issued a tsb about this issue for ford edges from 2015-2018, and other models, but they haven't issued a recall. I was told the dealership had submitted a claim to the corporate office for a full engine replacement, and since this was a known issue, they didn't see any issues with it being approved. I have been told it will be some time, no guarantees, as to when I will have my ford edge returned since there are other ford edge's with this issue.
My 2018 ford edge threw a code p0301. Which is a misfire in cylinder 1. Coolant leaking into block and started throwing a lot of white smoke out from the exhaust. Took the vehicle to the dealer and after their diagnostic and a few questions to me ford is needing to replace the motor. The vehicle was difficult to start each morning and the hen the motor was off for a while. Eventually it would start. Other then the check engine light and the white smoke out the exhaust I noticed no performance loss.
Had oil changed at dealership in dec 2020and advised of low coolant. Tech checked no leaks found. March 2021 check engine light came on code p0301, misfire in cyl 1. Had new spark plugs put in. Drove 500 miles, code came back. Swapped coil pack from cyl 1 and 2, drove another 450 miles code came back. Had injectors checked, all ok. Car started having a slow sluggish start to it. Noticed coolant was empty. Refilled, within a day empty. Took to shop and coolant in cylinders

The contact called an independent mechanic who manually released the steering wheel to move the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to billy howell ford (1805 atlanta hwy, cumming, ga 30040, (770) 872-6928) to be diagnosed.

2018 model w/ 2.0l engine. Car starting & idling was sluggish. Check engine light was on. Took to ford for troubleshooting. Evaluation revealed coolant in cylinder. Car has 34,500 miles on it. New engine was required. Engines should never need replaced. Seems like many others are having issues with engines on this make & model. Ford should replace these engines before warranty expire as they are appear problematic.
Coolant is getting into cylinders and causing the engine to run rough and burn coolant as well as frying the coils started less than a year after having the vehicle but didn't know it was happening. Car doesn't over heat but check engine light comes on for a misfire in whichever cylinder and low coolant.
I have a ford edge with 60k. It has been diagnosed with an internal coolant leak.siezed and stalled up on the highway because coolant has leaked into cylinders 2 and 3
My 2018 ford edge, 67,000 miles, has and engine light on the dash. I had the code read and it indicated a #2 cylinder misfire. The car is at the ford dealership and they have indicated that coolant has leaked into the #2 cylinder. I have research this on the internet and there seems to be a lot of fords with this same problem. If this was an isolated incident them maybe not a defect but with the amount of cases this appears to be a manufacturer defect of the block. I am waiting for the diagnoses and already the tech is saying maybe an engine replacement. The ford company should be recalling these engines and replacing them as they are diagnosed.
Coolant leaking into the cylinders, I have read many people filing complaints on this issue in the last year especially. Even the tech at ford said this is becoming a problem. It seems that this needs to be under the recall category now to help people not go through the pain of whats not under warranty and what is and having to spend money on something that is clearly at this point a manufacturing error. This issue isnt something you notice it starts with a check engine light and will turn on and off.
First the car started trembling when turning on and loosing power , it continues to get worse , check engine light came on I took it to get checked and it was off. Then eventually it came on flashing, I left it in place to get checked . The mechanic told me it was not worth it to fix it , it was damaged beyond repairable . I'm not exactly sure what happened but I have the report .
Service engine light came on and there was a coolant leak. No light warning that coolant was low ever came on for the vehicle, the car turned the motor off while driving down the interstate. Ford dealership reports that there is a technical service bulletin for this complaint that recommends the engine be replaced. The vehicle has less than 65,000 miles and should not need such extensive repairs as an entire engine replacement. If there is a technical service bulletin for this problem, then it appears that this problem is known by ford and they are not addressing it properly, because the vehicle is only 3,000 miles past the powertrain warranty. This is not a safety issue or a recall and it should be.
