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

MY SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BACK AND NEVER TURNED BACK ON. I CAN NO LONGER USE THE USB PORTS, TURN ON MY RADIO, USE MY REARVIEW MIRROR, CONNECT MY PHONE NOR CONTROL MY A/C SETTINGS. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY INDICATED IT'S A BAD APIM. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. AFTER 18 MONTHS MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAD A BATTERY, STARTER, ALTERNATOR AND ENGINE REPLACED. NOW I NEED A NEW APIM? FORD IS RIDICULOUS. THEY'RE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND QUALITY IN CARS IS GONE. MY CAR SHOULD BE A LEMON YET, 3 YEARS AFTER CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS, I'M STILL FIGHTING FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, SHE ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT FULLY DEPRESS CAUSING THE CONTACTS WIFE TO REAR END AND HIT ANOTHER DRIVER, WHICH CAUSED THE OTHER DRIVER TO SPIN INTO TRAFFIC CAUSING A MULTIPLE VEHICLE COLLISION. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACTS WIFE SUSTAINED A FRACTURED FINGER, BRUISED HIPS, BRUISED UPPER BODY, AND A SORE BACK. THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT BUT THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACTS WIFE RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION AT THE SCENE OF THE CRASH BUT DECLINED GOING INTO THE HOSPITAL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND WHERE THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE LOCAL DEALER SAM PACK'S FIVE STAR FORD LEWISVILLE (1144 N STEMMONS FWY, LEWISVILLE, TX 75067) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

MY 2018 FORD EDGE KEEPS FILLING UP WITH EXHAUST IN THE CABIN. IT HAS DONE THIS ON MANY OCASION'S IT WILL DO THIS WETHER I AM STATIONARY OR DRIVING . IT'S GETTING WORSE.. I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING LONG DISTANCES AND I SLEEP IN MY CAR ALOT. THE EXHAUST SMELL HAPPENS NOMATTER IF I AM ON THE HIFHWAY OR RESIDENTIAL STREET. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY FEW DAYS NOW. I DID HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AT RANDON FORD IN FLORIDA . THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY COULDN,T FIND A LEAK. THE VERY NEXT DAY I DROVE FROM FLORIDA TO MINNESOTA, THE EXHAUST WAS IN THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES ON THE TRIP

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY WITH SPEEDS CONSTANTLY CHANGING. I WAS KEEPING WHAT I THOUGH WAS A SAFE DISTANCE BUT WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME COMPLETELY STOPPED AND I HIT MY BRAKES, MY VEHICLE SLID INSTEAD OF STOPPING RESULTING IN ME HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. WOULD THIS BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE BRAKE RECALL?

MY 2018 EDGE WITH ECOBOOST HAS LESS THAN 62K MILES. NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE WHEN I WAS IDLED OR NOT ACCELERATING. NOISE GOT LOUDER AND WORSE, SEEMED TO HAVE ISSUES CHANGING GEARS, BEGAN SOUNDING LIKE A DIESEL WHEN I WAS IDLE. TOOK IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS TODAY AND NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TODAY. RESULTS CAME BACK WITH RANDOM MISFIRE CODE. TURNS OUT THERE IS A CRACK IN THE FLYWHEEL...WHICH FROM WHAT I CAN TELL BY RESEARCH IS DUE TO MANUFACTURER ISSUES WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THIS? IT IS DANGEROUS AND THE CAR IS NOT OLD OR WORN OUT ENOUGH TO HAVE THESE KIND OF ISSUES. COST TO CORRECT IS ASTRONOMICAL. PLEASE HELP RAISE AWARENESS AND GET THE HELP CONSUMERS DESERVE.
