2017 FORD EDGE Complaints

IN JUNE 2020 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE CALLED OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO LOOK AT IT FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE. WE NEEDED THE CAR TO GET TO WORK AND BACK SO WE TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED WITH ANOTHER REPUTABLE SERVICE PROVIDER. HE INFORMED US THAT WE DEFIANTLY NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AS THE CODE IT WAS THROWING WAS A MAJOR ENGINE PROBLEM.THE CODES WERE P0301-P0304, WHICH IS A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE WHICH WILL ALLOW COOLANT INTRUSION INTO THE CYLINDERS. HE TOLD US THAT THERE WAS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, COPY INCLUDED WITH THIS LETTER, ON THIS VEHICLE AND THAT THE ENGINE MOST LIKELY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED NEWBERG FORD AND MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. WE TOOK IT IN AND AFTER A DAY IN A HALF WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS INDEED AN ENGINE DEFECT AND THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT WE SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS IT COULD FAIL WHILE DRIVING. THANK GOD WE DID NOT FOLLOW THEIR FIRST ADVICE THAT IT WOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE! AT FIRST, THEY TOLD US IT WAS GOING TO COST US OVER $8000 TO REPAIR. WE WERE DEVASTATED. WHILE WE STILL OWED SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THE CAR, WE REALLY DID NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY! WE COULDN'T NOT FIX IT AS IT IS A DAILY DRIVER. FORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP CAME UP WITH A LOWER COST TO REPAIR IT, WHICH WAS WEIRD, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO FINANCE IT TO GET THE WORK DONE. NOW WE ARE NOT ONLY MAKING CAR PAYMENTS BUT ALSO PAYMENTS ON A LOAN THAT IS ALMOST HALF THE WHAT IS OWED ON THIS CAR! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! WE PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH THE CONFIDENCE WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD IN FORD. FORD IS VERY AWARE OF THIS 'DEFECT 'IN THIS ENGINE AND IS NOT WILLING TO MAKE ANY EFFORT TO RECALL IT?? THIS WAS NOT ANYTHING WE DID TO THIS VEHICLE; IT IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: AWAITING# (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) (MANUFACTURER CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20S42) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE LOCAL DEALER FORD OF QUEENS LOCATED AT 139-48 QUEENS BLVD, QUEENS, NY 11435 AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR PARTS AVAILABILITY WERE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WENT TO WASH MY 2017 FORD EDGE CAR TWO WEEKS AGO IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICE THE PANORAMIC ROOF GLASS HAD WAVY CRACKS IN IT. NO CHIPS OR LEAKS JUST A WAVY CRACK THAT CAN BE FELT FROM THE EXTERIOR. RESERCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND IT TO BE COMMON IN EDGES FROM 2014 AND UP TO THE POINT THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST FORD FOR NOT DOING ANYTHING THAT WAS DROPPED IN 2016. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A STRESS FRACTURE OR DUE TO THE HEAT. ETHIER WAY I AM CONCERNED THE GLASS IS GOING TO FAIL EVEN MORE. THERE ARE ACCOUNTS WHERE THESE ROOFS HAVE EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ALSO.

THIS ENGINE IS FAULTY. I PURCHASED IT AND THE CYLINDER CRACKED. THIS WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE FORD DEALER. THE ENGINE DROVE PERFECTLY FINE. THEN I BEGAN HAVING SOME HARD SHAKING AND JERKING. THE VEHICLE THEN OVERHEATED CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED ON OTHER SITES BY MULTIPLE FORD OWNERS.*DT CONSUMER ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH ENGINE WITH LOW COOLANT LEVEL AND WHITE EXHAUST SMOKE.*JB *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CODE WAS P0302, INITIAL INPUT FROM FORD DEALER, CHANGE SPARK PLUGS, 98XXX MILES, PROBABLY DUE FOR A TUNE-UP. MAINTENANCE PERFORMED, CODE RESET. ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, AND ENGINE COOLANT OVERTEMPT INDICATION WHILE DRIVING INTO WORK, LOW ON ANTI-FREEZE, TAKEN TO DIFFERENT FORD DEALER THAT SAME AFTERNOON, BORESCOPE OF CYLINDER 2 INDICATES LEAKAGE OF ANTIFREEZE INTO THE CYLINDER TOLD THAT ENGINE LONGBLOCK WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT.

I BOUGHT MY 2017 FORD EDGE LESS THAN A YEAR AND HALF AGO AND THE FIRST YEAR WAS RUNNING FINE BUT THEN IT GAVE SOME BATTERY ISSUES FOR NO REASON THEN I HAD TO REPLACED IT. THAT WAS MY FIRST ISSUE WITH IT, A YEAR LATER IM DEALING WITH SOME OVERHEATING PROBLEMS WHICH I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THERE IS COOLANT IN THE ENGINE WITH NO LEAKING OR WHATSOEVER, APPARENTLY THE COOLANT WAS EVAPORATING INTO THE ENGINE. NOW, FORD WONT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IM PASSED 7K MILES FROM MY WARRANTY EXPIRATION. I HOPE I'LL GET SOME HELP BECAUSE I DONT EVEN HAVE 2 YEARS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NOW IS ALL DAMAGE FOR NO REASON. TTHE OVERHEATING ISSUES STARTED A MONTH AGO SO I DIDNT WAIT LONG TO TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC TO CHECK IT OUT. AT THIS POINT MY SUV STILL RUNS BUT I PREFER TO NOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO IT, SO I DONT HAVE A CAR TO GET TO WORK. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF ENGINE IS IT OR IF THIS HAS JUST HAPPENED TO ME AND I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALLOF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I REALLY HOPE I GET SOME HELP SINCE REPLACING THE WHOLE ENGINE IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND I CANT AFFORD IT. THEN AGAIN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON OCTOBER, 2018 AND LESS THAN 2 YEARS THE ENGINE IS DAMAGED COME ON PEOPLE HOW COULD IT BE POSSIBLE IF IS NOT A FABRIC DEFECT OR SOMETHING BECAUSE THERE IS STILL LOW MILLAGE IN MY SUV IS ONLY 67K AND I DONT DRIVE IT VERY FAR. BY THE WAY WHEN IT HAPPENED I WAS COMING BACK HOME FROM WORK SO YEAH IT WAS IN MOTION BUT IT OVER HEATED WHEN I WAS LESS THAN 3 MINUTES AWAY FROM HOME BUT I STOPPED ANYWAYS TO COOLED IT DOWN, ONCE I WAS HOME I PUT COOLANT AND THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC.

I WAS DRIVING GOING 35 MPH ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH AS I WAS ON THE INSIDE LANE OF THREE LANES ENTERING THE STATE HIGHWAY TO GO OVER THE BRIDGE WHEN MY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING OVER HEATING AND I LOST POWER. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND WAITED 1 1/2 HOURS FOR ENGINE TO COOL DOWN TO CHECK MY ENGINE. WHEN I CHECKED I HAD NO COOLANT IN MY RADIATOR . I SPOKE TO A FORD SERVICE EMPLOYEE AND THEY SAID GET IT TO THEM TO CHECK OUT. THEY INSPECTED AND TELL ME THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN 19-2346 STATING THE DEFECT. A KNOWN DEFECT CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS FOR UNAWARE CAR OWNERS. FORD HAS TOLD ME THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR KNOWN DEFECTIVE ISSUE AND WANT $ 7,000.00 TO REPLACE WHOLE ENGINE. CURRENTLY IT IS AT FORD BEING REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE BUT HOPEFULLY OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS OR A LAWYER CAN HELP REDEEM THIS SITUATION.
