2018 Ford Edge

The engine continually exhibits cylinder #2 misfiring, disappearing coolant, and rough idling. Efforts have been made, but these issues relate directly to a cracked block allowing coolant into the combustion chamber. The car has about 93,000 miles on it and has been meticulously maintained, but still the issues are getting worse and more frequent.

I have a 2018 Ford Edge where the liftgate will not open at all from any method—key fob, interior button, or the hatch button. This appears to be a mechanical or electrical failure, and I’m concerned it may be a defect and a potential safety issue since the trunk cannot be accessed. It has had many Safety recalls reguarding a lot of issues, the rear view camera is in the same area, so they fixed my camera but they wouldn't fix the trunk not opening, I feel this is major safety issue, should I get pinned in my car while in an accident, on day in where I live in [XXX] and it's 110 outside with my mom or my kids, it could cause us to lose our lives. It's clear they know it's a problem, it a known issue but they are doing nothing to fix, because I purchased the car used and the warrenty for them was over in 05/08/2026. This dangerous, and not something I as the buyer/drive caused. I wasn't in accident, I wasn't in flood, I did not cause this damage and they should fix. Espcially knowing they already have problems with this area on the car. However, they want me to go get the car checked for transmission issues cause there a recall on that on my car, Customer Satification Number 22N12. I am asking for Help. There are no lights on, no messages from the car it just stops randomly working. This has been going for about 4 months.

The car is a 2018 Ford edge titanium 2.0L Eco Boost engine.After 75,600 miles the check engine light came on. After a local auto repair shop diagnosed the problem as a coolant contamination in cylinder 3, I was instructed to take the car to a Ford dealer because a new engine was needed. The dealer confirmed the coolant intrusion in cylinder 3 and a new engine has been ordered. After calling Ford Care, I was told that this is a known problem but because my warranty had expired there was nothing Ford would do. So I will need to spend $8,500 for the new engine and installation.

The part behind the dashboard touchscreen for the radio went bad, they call it the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module). It allows us to see the screen when in reverse among other things. They are incredibly common to go bad on certain model years of ford vehicles. Very expensive to fix as the module is programmed per VIN. The screen does not work, just stays black the entire time.

This 2018 Ford Edge of 65, 775 miles was loosing antifreeze, releasing white smoke out exhaust and would throw codes of overheating issues etc. Took vehicle to Pettus Ford in Fredericktown, Missouri for diagnostic of codes. It was noted that these codes are all related and owner must get a new engine to fix the problem. No other remedy was suggested. This seems to be a none problem with this year of vehicle with no recalls noted to date. There were a few different warning lamps that were displayed to notify owner.

The 2.0L EcoBoost engine in my 2018 Ford Edge Titanium experienced head gasket failure due to Ford’s known cylinder channel design defect present in 2015–2019 EcoBoost 2.0 engines. Ford scored channels between cylinders in an attempt to improve cooling, which allows coolant to degrade the head gasket and mix with engine oil. Symptoms included white smoke from the exhaust, coolant loss, rough idle, and a check engine light prior to failure. The coolant-oil contamination caused engine performance degradation and risk of sudden failure while driving, endangering myself and other motorists. The engine drained all coolant unbeknownst to me while driving, causing the car to overheat and causing damage to the head gasket. Car had to be pulled over and towed to a shop. Head gasket was repaired, but the issue continued and more coolant was found in the engine oil in 2026. Coolant constantly has to be replenished after driving. The failure was confirmed by an independent mechanic. The vehicle has not been inspected by Ford or NHTSA. Ford has not issued a recall for this known defect despite widespread reports from 2015–2019 Edge, Fusion, and other EcoBoost 2.0 owners experiencing identical failures. I am filing this complaint to contribute to the pattern of evidence needed to compel a formal NHTSA investigation and potential recall action.

I have a 2018 Ford Edge supposedly bought "brand new" was advertised "brand new" but later find out it wasn't because dealership had titled it to themselves as a loaner. A few weeks ago my check engine light came on and my husband had it checked and was a cylinder 2 fault code. He took it to our local mechanic and he said he looked with scope and saw coolant in the cylinder. My car now sits at the Ford Dealership in Albemarle and has been diagnosed with the coolant intrusion issue and I have to pay for a engine. My calls to Ford were useless, they refused to help even though this issue was well known to them and I was never informed or I would have traded this vehicle in a long time ago. The service rep at the dealership said I was looking at about $7400 out the door plus an issue with "fluid leaking" on both front wheels, which is another $1000. She also said she would advocate on my behalf with Ford to see if they will cover any of this $$$ repair. We are waiting to find out their response. I have a line of credit set up to pay for this but really can't afford to put money into this lemon. I am disappointed in Ford as a Ford Mustang was my first car and my husband and I have bought several brand new and used vehicles over the years. We were life long Ford people but Ford doesn't stand behind well known (to them) defective engines so we are no longer. My choices are 1) pay $8500 to have the repairs fixed, 2) Ford assisting me with paying for the engine replacement 4) Selling/trading my vehicle to avoid the expensive repair and only getting between $2000 and 3000. Either way (unless Ford helps me) I am out around $7400-$8500! Most of all I feel like I've been driving around blind to the fact that a fire could have resulted. I frequently have my grandchildren in my car and it could have been devastating. Or my engine could have blown in the middle of heavy traffic putting us at risk of collision and the task of somehow getting it out of the road safely.

2018 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost. Vehicle CEL came on, took it to the dealership for diagnostic and report indicated a known TSB 22-2229 to apply to my vehicle's condition. Trouble code P0302. White exhaust smoke, misfire at start up, low coolant levels, runs rough. Dealer performed a borescope inspection and found the engine long block has internal fluid leak. My safety, my kids, and others on the road were put as risk because at any given moment, the car could have overheated, stalled and caused an accident. The engine is available for inspection upon request. Prior to the CEL, the car began shaking and blowing white exhaust smoke. Now I'm left with no car as a single mom trying to make ends meet. Ford won't help to pay $13K for a new engine with a known manufacturing defect.
