2018 Ford Edge

Driving home from work, I noticed a warning light indicating that the car was overheating. I stopped and realized the coolant tank was empty, so I immediately put some coolant in and continued driving home. The next day, the car wouldn't start, and after I checked the engine oil, it was contaminated with water. I called a Ford dealer for repair, and they don't want to take responsibility.

My engine light came on about a year ago, then went off rather quickly. This happened again about 6 months ago. At this time I connected a reader and learned that it was due to a cylinder 2 misfire. All coil packs and spark plugs were replaced thinking that would solve the problem. After it did not, I begin to search online and learned about the infamous coolant intrusion issue with my model vehicle . After reading multiple message boards regarding the issue, which appears to be directly tied to the motor design and which is very common, I confirmed that my vehicle is showing the same signs of others who have reported the issue. The last straw was when the car lost power and shut off of me in the middle of a crowded gas station parking lot where I had to sit and wait for a tow truck all while impeding traffic. At this point I am outside of my extended warranty and the only solution is a new motor at the cost of $8k. It is baffling that Ford is not being held responsible for this issue when it is so common and directly tied to the design of their motor. I am currently not able to drive a car that I am still paying a monthly payment for due to the manufacturer’s design flaw. A recall for this is well overdue and I ask you to do something about this expeditiously. Thanks.

Ford Ecoboost 2.0 L engine, ~95,000 miles. The check engine light came on while on a cross country drive and the diagnostic code was a cylinder 2 misfire. The vehicle would chug and sputter when started up and had trailing white smoke from the exhaust. The garage reset the code and replaced the spark plugs. 2 weeks later the engine started chugging again on start up, with white smoke and a smell of burning coolant. We took it to our mechanic locally who found coolant leaking into the cylinder. He reset the code and recommended we take it to the dealer. When I got the vehicle back, I checked the coolant to find that it was excessively low, presumably from it leaking into the cylinder for an unknown amount of time. We researched online and found that the occasion of coolant leaking into the #2 cylinder is a common problem with an incredibly large range of affected vehicles, and that the solution is to replace the engine. When I spoke to the dealership and described the problem, they confirmed that the only solution was an engine replacement and that it was routine for them. They quoted me $11,000 for the repair.

In June of 2024 we had coolant getting into cylinder head. A new head gasket was installed and the car was ok until May of 2025 when we are faced with the same problem again. We have a 3rd party warranty program that made the repair last year but are refusing to this time. So we now a vehicle that is not drivable, is a safety risk if it is driven. Ford motor company has no assistance to offer at this time unless a recall is issued! The warranty company said since TSB’s are out that they will not cover this! If this is a Ford defect then it should be covered and repaired by them. There have been many recalls on this issue. Why not mine?

Coolant intrusion into the engine (eco boost) slow leak but failing emissions testing. engine misfires and runs hard. Only 80,000 miles on the car. Can be inspected, had it inspected by a local mechanic who confirmed the issue. No warning signs, never had a check engine light on prior to the issue. Mechanic says I need an entire long block replace. Now that I know of the warning signs, they have been ongoing for about 20,000 miles, but the only gone light just came on in April. Safety issues for this is that this can cause engine fires.

Engine long block needed replacing at 55,625 miles. Verified by Al Packer WPB , Fl., and engineer replaced. Ford paid $3300 for block while I was charged almost $3300 for labor (after discounting over $1000 from sales/service) Block design fault per Ford on TSB 22-2229. (All 2013-2015 Edge model with 2.0 Ecoboost engines need replacing.) The danger is overheating and engine seizing … could happen while driving and cause an accident. Check engine light was on. After learning about this, I checked for missing coolant, needed to top it off as it was almost empty. Then on a restart the smoke coming from tailpipe was quite obvious. (I have that on video). FORD should pay for 100% of this repair. I have had this vehicle 8years, and have 55,625 miles on 5year/60,000 warranty.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was driving rough, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to properly accelerate.

The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the roadway. The contact checked the coolant level, and the coolant lever was low. The coolant reservoir was refilled. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a coolant leak and engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the repair was not covered under warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.

2018 Ford Edge 2.0 Ecoboost engine misfire in cylinder 2 (code P-0302 and Smoke from tailpipe. After replacing coil assembly and then spark plugs engine still runs rough. Looking in internet I discovered a Ford TSB 22-2229. Which clearly admits Ford knowledge of said “design flaw” which can cease the engine. Ford should be held liable and fix ALL vehicles effected. My car has 55,700 miles on it. Ford is covering engine block cost and charging me the labor costs in excess of $4,200..
