The engine of my 2017 Ford Edge began to misfire intermittently in 2019. When it was finally able to be diagnosed in 2020, it was determined fuel had escaped around a spark plug. The spark plugs were replaced. Approximately one year later, the issue began again. Upon further inspection, it was found that a head gasket had gone bad. While there is not definite evidence of a coolant leak, it is suspected a leak may have initiated the issue. Research has also indicated the engine block is most likely cracked. While driving, the engine would often lull and stop accelerating. This happened several times as I attempted to drive down the interstate, being forced to exit the highway due to not being able to move with the speed of traffic. After the first repair of the spark plugs, the car seemed to drive fine, however, they shouldn't have gone bad within a year of install indicating a much larger issue. The car is unable to be driven. Even with replacing the head gasket, I do not feel the car would be safe with a cracked engine block. Nor should the motor have gone bad this soon.

Thus far, no one in danger. But some of the symptoms of this inherent, internal engine, failure code make the operation of the vehicle dangerous. The vehicle may stop abruptly or stall out. Occasionally, engine runs rough, shakes with hesitations and jerks with acceleration. 06/18/2021 inspected at Pinnacle FORD in Nicholasville, Ky. "Allowed engine to reach operation temperature and pressurized for 5 hours, 8 PSI drop in pressure. Removed spark plug and used borescope to verify coolant intrusion in the cylinder. Customer given estimate for long block rebuild". The engine light came on & off (more often) for the next 4 weeks or so after 3/29/2021. I stopped by the dealer on Monday, 3/29 to get appointment.They were 2 1/2 weeks out booking appointments.Approximately 3 weeks passed without definite symptoms or smell, engine light off & on.Had a friend mechanic look at hoses and the like, without finding any leakage, smell of antifreeze, etc. Tested P0302 diagnostic code. Changed the spark plugs. As a result, for about 2 week period of no light illumination, no smell.Came on again prior to getting an appointment prior to Memorial Weekend, and the service center was again booked 2 weeks out.Per my schedule and theirs, I scheduled an appointment at the 3 weeks timeframe. Dropped it off 06/17/2021 after hours.

I was backing up into a driveway (very slight incline) when my power steering went out. Lights came on stating, "Steering assist fault, service required" and "service advanced trac." I could barely turn my wheel. There was no earlier warning of this issue and I had just driven 3 hours on the highway so was fortunate that it didn't fail while on the road. I tried restarting my car a few times and then I called a Ford dealer. The car was towed in for a diagnostic. This revealed that the EPAS rack failed and needed to be replaced with an estimate of over $3000. The purpose of EPAS is to enhance the steering ability for the driver, but the car is not steerable without its proper functioning which is a huge safety hazard to the driver and anyone else near them on the road.
