2017 FORD EDGE Complaints

CAR ENGINE IDLES ROUGH AND WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT OF EXHAUST. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING 20 MILES PER HOUR ON MY TOWN ROAD AND I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC HE SAID THE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO CYLINDER HEAD NUMBER 2. WE HAD TO FILL THE COOLANT RESERVOIR BECAUSE IT WAS VERY LOW.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V469000 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 2017 FORD EDGE WITH A 4 CYLINDER 2.0 ECOBOOST ENGINE AND 81,000 MILES NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, AS PER MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. I RECENTLY HAD COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE THROUGH THE CYLINDERS. ALL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WORK, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, HAVE BEEN DONE WHEN REQUIRED. DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOTALLY MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $8,500. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WITH FORD ECOBOOST ENGINES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF IT FOR YEARS. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THEN IT'S THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT WHEN THEY HAVE KNOWN FOR SOME TIME THAT THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME IN. TOOK CAR FOR REPAIR WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS. WEEK LATER CHECK ENGINE CAME BACK IN. WAS TOLD IT WAS MISFIRE CODES THEN CLEARED. WEEK LATER (3RDWEEK IN ROW) HEARD SWOOSHING SOUND LIKE LIQUID RUNNING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF CAR WHERE THE HEAT VENTS LOCATED AND CHECK ENGINE BACK ON WITH CAR GAS MILEAGE DECREASING FROM 147 MILES TO 25 MILES DURING A 5 MIN RIDE TO DEALERSHIP. TOLD LOW COOLANT AND COOLANT LEAKING INTO ENGINE THUS DESTROYING ENGINE. ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAS 42000 MILES ON IT.

ON MY 2017 FORD EDGE THE EPB MOTOR AND ABS MODULE WENT OUT AT 62,000 MILES RESULTING IN BRAKES DRAGGING AND VERY DIFFICULT TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE WITH THE DANGER OF LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE ENGINE IS A 4 CYLINDER 2 LITER ECOBOOST AND HAS BEEN LEAKING COOLANT INTO CYLINDER NUMBER 2 CAUSING COOLANT LEVEL TO DROP AND THE ENGINE MISFIRING EVENTUALLY LEADING TO A ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. FORD HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO LOOK OUT FOR THESE PROBLEMS. THE ONLY REMEDY IS ENGINE REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF AT LEAST $8,000.00. FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS FOR QUITE A LONG TIME BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND WILL NOT HELP WITH THE COST OF REPAIR. I BELIEVE MY ENGINE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM UNTIL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT APPROX. 61,500 MILES. I THINK FORD SHOULD BEAR THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT AS THE ENGINE HAS FAILED BEFORE 62,000 MILES. A CAR ENGINE SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS OF DOZENS OF SIMILAR CASES OF THE ECOBOOST ENGINES HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND BELEIVE IT HAS A DESIGN FLAW.
