2018 Ford Edge

I am told my torque converter clutch is slipping, and I am recommended to replace my torque converter and pump despite the vehicle having only 64,000 miles driven. Transmission parts are failing despite having a relatively young car. The vehicle was inspected at a Ford dealership and a diagnostic was performed to find this defect. I have investigated if there is an open recall for my VIN and none appear, although the torque converter on 2018 Ford Edge Titanium vehicles have recalls on them. Prior to the failure, a wrench icon as well as the check engine light were turning on and off between uses of the vehicle. These icons both turned off prior to bringing my vehicle to the dealership, indicating to me that there was no longer an issue present, though the dealership stated through their diagnostic that there indeed was still an issue with the transmission.

Coolant leak into cylinder causing engine to misfire, caused by warped cylinder head. Chapman Ford and CarShop have inspected and confirmed this issue and have indicated it is a common, recurring issue with Ford engines. Ford issued a service bulletin about this specific problem in 2019. In August 2019, the engine light went on, “misfire in cylinder #2”.

I have approximately 53000 miles on my vehicle. The Engine light turned on end of Aug. So I took it to a service center. They said the message code was P306 & P0316. They inspected and said the cylinder is misfiring, coolant has gotten into the cylinder, and the gasket is mush. The engine is rough running and told me to take it to Ford, I will need a new engine. In searching this problem I found a TSB 22-2229 & an NHSTA 19-2208, 19-2172. Ford can't get me in until end of September to verify. I've found several references to this problem causing an engine fire, I also found a class action suit recently filed in California for this problem. Ford has not issued a recall for this problem and I don't understand. They redesigned the engine in 2021 as they knew it was a faulty design. I didn't know that. I don't have another vehicle to drive, meanwhile I'm making car payments on it. Ford won't provide a car for me to use. I don't want to drive my car with [XXX] knowing this problem could cause harm to me, them and others. Please advise.

While driving the vehicle transmission shifts are radically intermittently on up shift when traveling highway speeds no problem when decreasing speed at highway speed and increasing speed sometimes the vehicle lurches or jumps then when coming to a stop when you're downshifting it seems to be third gear through first gear the transmission violently jerks as it's downshifting to the point where you can almost lose control. It seems a lot like a safety recall on the 2017 edge dealing with the torque converter

Yes, available for inspection. 2.0L Eco Boost engine leaking coolant into cylinder 1 due to a design defect 2015-2018 which has since been corrected. The only fix is a complete engine replacement. There is a recall for the Ford Fusion and Focus FOR THE SAME ISSUE; however, the Ford Edge 2.0L Eco Boost has not yet been added. There is a service bulletin addressing this issue requiring an engine block replacement: TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 2.0L EcoBoost - Coolant in Cylinders, White Exhaust Smoke And/or Illuminated MIL. An extensive internet search revealed widespread accounts of this issue, mostly after the manufacturer warranty had expired, leaving the customer responsible for engine replacement. Because this was deemed to be caused by a design defect (grooves were etched into the block to allow coolant between the cylinders which weakened the block, causing cracks, which allowed the coolant intrusion), I believe the existing recall should be expanded to include the 2015-2018 2.0L EcoBoost engine as well.

Faulty engine design (thin wall between coolant chamber and cylinders) allows for coolant to enter the cylinders. This leads to an overheating engine (that can catch fire) and ultimately creates a blown head gasket. This is a common issue in the Ford EcoBoost engines. There is a TSB on the 1.5 liter engines, but not the 2.0 on this model. There is currently a large lawsuit happening for this reason. Vehicles with under 60k miles are getting blown engines for this problem, most people still owe several thousand dollars on their vehicle when this happens.

Transmission went to nurteal because it went out at 139k tow to repair shop who stated this the same transmission as escape called ford cs was told there a customer extended warranty placed on my transmission but covered it to 120k I was never notified of this ford said tuff but if it’s the same transmission as escaped they should warranty it

I have a 2018 Ford edge SEL with the 2.0 ecoboost engine in it that I just bought June 3rd, 2023. The engine light came on a couple weeks ago, so I took it to the dealership that I bought it from and found out the engine is bad because of coolant leaking into one of the cylinders. Upon further research I found that this is due to a design flaw in the engine by Ford but Ford has not recalled this engine. However Ford has recalled the 1.0 engines along with a couple others. I feel Ford should also recall the 2.0 ecoboost engine because this has been an ongoing issue for many people and the customers shouldn't have to pay for a new engine when it is a defective design that Ford even knows about but hasn't done anything
