2017 FORD EDGE Complaints

The rear back up camera is extremely fuzzy for the display or image and has resulted in near miss with fixed object incidents

March 9, 2025 Big O installed 4 new tires on my 2017 Ford Edge w/Eco boost engine. March 22, 2025 engine light came on while driving. Because I just had it at Big O, I took it back to them to check. March 24, 2025 Big O diagnosed my car when code P0303 came on. Spark plugs were good, but technician saw via camera that coolant was leaking into the engine. I was told to call Ford & that I probably had to replace the entire engine. I called Groove Ford. Service manager confirmed with that code that I needed a new engine. It was out of warranty & had no recalls yet. I have always taken great care of my car & was shocked to hear this! From my research, Ford has known about this problem for years. I reported it to Ford customer service & got a claim number. They also said they won't provide financial assistance. This is my 2nd Ford & I'm REALLY disappointed with them. There are hundreds of people like me that have this problem with their Ford vehicle. A recall needs to be done!

TSB 22-2229 - Technical Service Bulletin issued by Ford regarding a coolant leak issue in certain 2.0L EcoBoost engines, potentially leading to engine failure and requiring engine replacement. This happened to my vehicle in the Ford dealership told me I need to replace my engine and I think Ford needs to replace the engine.

My vehicle started going through coolant. Next, it started to misfire and was having the check engine light come on. It had the code P0304. It was a cylinder 4 misfire. We took it in to get diagnosed at AutoNation Westlake Ford. It is part of the technical service bulletin. There is coolant leaking into the 4th cylinder of our vehicle causing this issue. It is now happening while driving. We contacted for customer service to see if they have any programs to assist with the repairs needed because the entire engine needs replaced and it is a known malfunction due to poor engine design. They said there is nothing that can be done from them.

Took the car for routine oil change and was informed the head gasket is failing, coolant and oil are mixed posing a safety hazard to drive the vehicle (that I make payments on still)

2017 Ford Edge begin overheating. Diagnostic test revealed a cracked block & coolant consumption issues. This vehicle has a 2.0 Ecoboost with open block design. The diagnostic test was performed by Jones Automotive, Germantown TN. Since the vehicle isn't drivable, it has not been taken to a Ford dealership. What I've ended up with in a mixture oil and coolant with a sludge consistency filtering throughout the engine which is now a non-operational vehicle with ~ $5,000 payoff. As far as safety is concerned, this vehicle was in danger of the engine catching fire. The only warning received was the engine overheating which prompted me to take it our ship to determine the problem.
