2017 FORD EDGE Complaints

I have a 2017 Ford Edge and have the issue of intrusion of coolant into the cylinders, which I learned from some research is a known problem that this model is having. It initially was a check engine light. I brought it to an oil change place and they ran the code and said I needed a tuneup. I got a tuneup and the light returned. It caused the engine to overheat. Luckily, I was not stranded but could have easily been stranded with my grandkids in the car on a roadway. The only resolution is a complete engine replacement costing me $8,000 because Ford has not issued a recall on this known problem and is not standing behind their product.

Plug was removed and replacement of long block recommended. After further investigation a known technical issue is present in that component, a class action law suit is pending, (Quill and Arrow Law) and a recall pertaining to the failure of 2.0L ECCOBOOST ENGINE. The car is no longer reliable for daily basic transportation unless the 2.0L engine is replaced. With only 108k miles on the car I feel another 100K miles is feasible.

Our 2017 Ford Edge recently started a rattle noise when we start the engine. The noise goes away when we start driving and comes back again when we stop in a signal or take turns…mechanic told us they think it's a broken flexplate and they gave me an estimate of $1500 to fix that issue…[After] reading a few other forum articles regarding this issue what I found out it is a very common issue for Ford, which is almost always a manufacturing fault.”
