On 2 occasions my 2017 Edge car would not start. Check Engine light came on and I took it to my local mechanic. I was told blown gasket and coolant in engine. Vehicle has been running perfectly with only 62,000 miles. Warranty has expired so now I have to pay $9,000 for new engine. Ford needs to recognize this has occurred repeatedly in the Ford Edge and proceed with a recall. Ridiculous that this would happen in a well maintained vehicle with low mileage.

Putting the car in drive and would drive a few feet suddenly, all the panel lights ( check engine, abs,hazard control,electric parking brake,) literally every light on the panel would turn on and engine would stall causing the steering to become hard to control. This happened 3 times within a 2 week span then, I brought it into dealership and was told my coolant had leaked into my cylinders causing the engine to become ruined and that’s why I was having the problems with the engine and steering. My car has only 59000 miles.
