2018 FORD EDGE Complaints

June 2023 the coolant started disappearing from the coolant tank. The vehicle was checked by a licensed mechanic and the coolant is leaking into the engine cylinders only. Nowhere else is it leaking. By it leaking into the cylinders, it is causing the car to misfire, This will lead to a car fire or a seized engine. The vehicle is unsafe to drive, therefore is parked. Ford should have recalled this turbo engine but has failed to do so or do anything about it. There are thousands of people with this problem, 3 in my community, several lawsuits around the USA. I need transportation for my family and to get to work.

Ford Motor company has a recall on the ford edge 2015-2018. Attached you will find the TSB # 19-2208 from ford in which describe the issues for the recall. Even though my car is showing the exact same malfunction, ford is telling me that my specific vin # is not on the recall and that I need to replace the engine for $ 6,000.00. What I do not understand is how if the vehicle has the same malfunction as the recall and it has been confirmed by Ford that its the same safety issue my vehicle will not be included in the recall.

Eco boost engine is less than four years old and coolant leaked into engine. This should never happen on a four year old vehicle. Ford put out a “bulletin” on this, not a recall, but never informed me of it directly. When we contacted Ford told us we were out of luck. Cost me 7k to fix. Internet says this is happening way more often than it should be. My mechanic told me this should only happen to vehicles with hundreds of thousands of miles. He was as stunned as we were. This could have killed me. I’m fortunate that I decided to have it looked at. The cost was significant, but my life is worth more. A recall should be triggered. Ford knows it, lawyers know it, the Feds should know it too.
