2017 FORD EDGE Complaints

Head gasket issue allowing coolant intrusion into cylinder walls. Block and head defect on Ford EcoBoost engine. I’m finding online this is a very common problem that Ford is ignoring. Potential engine failure while operating. Yes. Pressurized coolant system and used a boroscope to see into the cylinder. No Yes, code P0302 on a diagnostic machine. First appeared April 2026.

Recently I have noticed, in my 2017 Ford Edge SEL, that my coolant level in reservoir has been low a few times with no puddling anywhere under car. I have read that this is a known issue with this vehicle that has the 2.0L ECOBOOST engine. What can be done about this? From what I have been reading, this a design issue that Ford knows about but has not offered a fix. The cost to replace the engine is more than vehicle is worth. Is there some financial assistance or full coverage to cover the cost for my vehicle to be fixed? This has been an ongoing issue starting with, shifting hard at times, coolant loss with no explanation, and rough idling after cold start.

MY FORD EDGE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH, THE TEMPERATURE WAS INCONSISTENT, AND IT WAS HAVING ISSUES STARTING. THE FINAL STRAW WAS THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. WE NOTICED THAT THE COOLANT WAS CONSISTENTLY LOW BUT THAT WAS AN ONGOING ISSUE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS A COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE AND IT NEEDED AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. WE PAID ALMOST $10,000 FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT AS WITHOUT IT THE CAR WAS WORTHLESS AND A TICKING TIME BOMB. I DIDN'T FEEL FINE SELLING IT TO SOMEONE LIKE THAT, SO WE REPAIRED THE VEHICLE WHICH HAD APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME AND PAID OUT OF POCKET AS FORD WAS NOT WILLING TO HELP WITH THE EXPENSE AT ALL. THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT SHAPE AND LOW MILEAGE, THAT WAS A PRETTY BIG ISSUE AND PRICE TO PAY FOR A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ON IT.

The 2017 Ford edge was parked in a parking spot, the shifter visually and physically engaged in the park position. Exited the vehicle went into the store. A vehicle passing by behind the Ford edge, noticed it slowly rolling backwards and did not stop colliding with the back of her truck. The Ford edge still showed as it was in park during this occurrence After for the research, it does appear that Ford does have an issue with this and it is a known issue just no specific recall issued for this specific Ford edge

Our 2017 Ford Edge Titanium had its engine check light go on at 61,000 miles on April 6, 2026. So we brought it into our local Ford dealership (where we purchased it new) the next day on April 7. We were told that diagnostics showed there was a coolant intrusion and we would need to basically rebuild the engine (long block) for $9,900! This is very frustrating since we bought an extended warranty at the time of purchase and had our car regularly brought in for maintenance. We did everything expected as an owner. No surprise, our extended warranty was good up 60,000. Reading up about the problem with coolant intrusion, it seems a class action was taken with Ford but only on their 4 cylinder engines. However, I've found many other Edge owners (with the same 6 cylinder engine we have) who were dealing with coolant intrusion and costly repairs as well. Whether it's a 4 cylinder or a 6 cylinder it's apparent Ford had some manufacturing issues on their engine blocks that cause coolant to leak into the cylinders and I feel they should be held responsible for the 6 cylinders as well.
