2018 Ford Edge

engine malfunction, loose engine power. It will fail to accelerate some times. It has been ispected by the ford dealership and the problem has been confirmed by them. Check engine on. Ford Motor company has a recall on the ford edge 2015-2018. Attached you will find the TSB # 19-2208 from ford in which describe the issues for the recall. Even though my car is showing the exact same malfunction, ford is telling me that my specific vin # is not on the recall and that I need to replace the engine for $ 6,000.00. What I do not understand is how if the vehicle has the same malfunction as the recall and it has been confirmed by Ford that its the same safety issue my vehicle will not be included in the recall. I'm writing NHTS as recomended by ford to see if someone can help me with this issue.

Eco boost engine is less than four years old and coolant leaked into engine. This should never happen on a four year old vehicle. Ford put out a “bulletin” on this, not a recall, but never informed me of it directly. When we contacted Ford told us we were out of luck. Cost me 7k to fix. Internet says this is happening way more often than it should be. My mechanic told me this should only happen to vehicles with hundreds of thousands of miles. He was as stunned as we were. This could have killed me. I’m fortunate that I decided to have it looked at. The cost was significant, but my life is worth more. A recall should be triggered. Ford knows it, lawyers know it, the Feds should know it too.

I have a 2018 Ford Edge SEL with a 2.0 L engine and 63,550 miles. The EcoBoost engine has coolant intrusion into the cylinders due to a design flaw in the engine where the head gasket fails. Ford has a TSB bulletin (TSB 19-2346) they sent out that requires a new engine replacement for this issue. This issue has been present in 2015-2018 Ford edge and occurs usually when the warranty expires. This relates to safety in that the engine can fail or catch fire. I took it in to a Ford dealer and they said I would need an engine replacement costing $8,100. My car has not been inspected by the manufacturer but I called them and was told that they had no program available to help me. I did contact the dealer I purchased the use car from and they said they couldn't do anything to help me. The MIL (check engine light) came on 2 weeks after I purchased the car from the dealer and when I checked under the hood I found the coolant reservoir empty. I now have payments on a car that needs an engine replacement for $8,100.

The check engine light came on. The warning was a cylinder 2 misfire. The fix is an engine replacement. I called Ford. They acknowledged a coolant leakage problem. They said there was no recall but would offer "assistance". I was told to limit driving until repair as the engine will stall at any time. This problem happened shy of 68,000 miles (shortly after warranty expiration).

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle shuddered and made an abnormal sound then lost motive power. The temperature gauge indicated that the engine was HOT. The contact stated that there was white smoke coming from the tailpipe. The check engine and low coolant warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle had not been diagnosed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and determined that the vehicle was not under warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was idling rough. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic determined that there was coolant intrusion into cylinder #2. The contact was informed that the engine needed replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.

Month of August had my grandkids in the vehicle and my vehicle stalled out in the middle of traffic because it has a coolant leak. I only have a little over 70,000 miles on my 2018 Ford Edge. It is an internal coolant leak. Because it's not leaking on the ground. My understanding you are having a lot of this problem. I also understand that this could catch the vehicle on fire. My son is an auto mechanic and he said y'all are having a lot of problems with this with these vehicles I have to use an old truck for transportation now I am having back problems and hip problems. Please help because I don't have this kind of money to put in a vehicle that has this problem this early in with this low mileage.

My check engine light was on and my car would shake and vibrate upon staring the engine. I was running low on coolant when I shouldn’t be despite no signs of leaking on the ground. I took it to an authorized shop by Carfax, it’s Autotech in O Fallon, MO. They ran diagnostic tests and the codes were P0302 and P0316, which apparently are common issues with Ford Edges between 2015-2018. The shop owner said it’s normal for these cars even with low miles to end up needing a new engine bc of how Ford built them to where there are cylinder misfires causing coolant to leak into the engine causing engine failure. I asked why there were no recalls on this known issues and he assumed it must be bc no one died yet. I have since been reading thread after thread online of customers having this same issue and needing a new engine some even after only 25,000 and 50,000 miles. I bought my car used less than a year and a half ago with 59,000 miles on it and was not offered a warranty, which I know no why, they probably knew of the issue and the dealership didn’t want to be on the hook to cover a new engine. So now I’m stuck with an unsafe car to drive or shell out $9000 on a new engine that will fail like others who had theirs replaced only to have the same thing happen. I love my car and don’t want to give it up. How can Ford take ownership of their poor design flaw that is causing this to happen and put us at risk of being stranded or worse when our engine blows? Ford tough…how so? These cars are worthless after only 25,000 for some. For me I only got 15000 miles out of my car that I still owe $17,000 on and now I’m told I have to pay almost $10,000 to replace the engine for their design flaw that they have known for years is a major issue? There are lawsuits for this issue. There is class action in California for this issue. How can they get away with this? I’m stranded right now and I can’t afford to fix it and nor should I have to. Ford should be held accountable, not me.

The motor is shot. A known problem from Ford is not being addressed. Coolant leaking into the cylinder which can cause car to catch on fire. I bought a platinum extended warranty from where I bought the car but they will not fix because of a TSB and Ford won't fix because problem is not recalled. I lost over $18,000 on this vehicle and had to buy another car.

My vehicle, along with many other Ford Edge owners, has coolant intruding into the #2 engine cylinder, which causes engine misfires, and has caused others engines to crack and have a engine fire. Ford is aware that the head was ground incorrectly during manufacturing, which allows the head gasket to fail. Ford has issued tech service bulletin 19-2346 There is a recall in Canada, we need one in the US. This issue typically takes time and mileage, and in my case and others the manufacturers engine warranty has expired. The fix for my 2.0L engine is a total replacement. Thanks for your time.
