My 2018 Ford edge coolant was leaking into my engine causing my oil to turn carmal color.My car only has 81000 miles on it. I had just turned my car on and white smoke came out of the exhaust pipes and then my car light came on that the car was overheated.

TSB 22-2229 Had dealer change spark plugs, while attempting broke spark plug off in head. Reported they would have to replace the head. More investigation led them to TSB 22-2229 and a boroscope of the head found coolant intrusion. Now the dealer states it will cost me 6500$ to repair the long block due to the coolant intrusion. This is a known problem with 2014-2018 Ford Edge and Ford Escapes as well as other vehicles. Copied from a law group website who is filing a class action lawsuite "Experts recommend that customers notify the Ford motor company as soon as possible once they identify an issue. These problems are not always simple and could cause dangerous consequences. If the leak inside it is left unfixed, it could cause problems with the engine and cause a rear-drive axle seizure." A quick search of this has hundreds of complaints stating this issue. This is not just a rear drive axle seizure issue. This could cause a fire in the engine due to coolant in the combustion. The check engine code did display with a P0300 MISFIRE Cylinder 3 code on it.

About a week and a half ago, we started getting an error message that the Adaptive steering fault requires service. We contacted our local Ford dealer who says it could be an electrical issue. But can't see us until Nov 1st. Additionally ,when driving straight, the steering wheels ( Ford logo) is turned to the left. It is worrisome but the dealer says it's safe to drive. I don't think so. In doing our research,we've found that this seems to be an issue. I shouldn't have to pay for theses repairs whether through my pocket or through my extended warranty. Which will be out of pocket either way, because I pay for this through my car note and would have a deductible.

My vehicle is not listed under the recall 17S16(2) this is an expansion to recall 17V-427 yet my car has been sitting for 4 months at a FORD dealership because the TORQUE CONVERTOR that is not performing IS ON BACKORDER. Why is FORD being allowed to string me the consumer along until they decide that this is a big problem? I received a Service Notice (Customer Satisfaction Program 22N12 stating that they are aware of a problem with the flexplate, transmission fluid pump and Torque convertor but no RESOLUTION. I cannot AFFORD to keep making car payments for a car I cannot drive. I am beyond frustrated and FORD will not communicate with me.

My vehicle only has 77K miles on it and is already needing an entirely new engine due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. We discovered this after replacing all the spark plugs in the vehicle and the check engine light not disengaging. You should not have to replace an entire engine with only 77K miles. This is a known issue with FORD referencing two bulletin's - the first bulletin #19-2346 and now with bulletin #22-2133. They are refusing to cover the repairs 100% and expecting the consumer to pay 40% of the cost of their known issue of a $10K repair ticket. It also clearly states in the recent bulletin that the MIL may or may not engage with this issue. If we had know that this was an issue with this vehicle inside the 5 year/60K mile powertrain warraty which would have covered the repairs 100% we would have taken care of it then. The MIL was never engaged and provided any indication that this was going on. It was discovered after the MIL engaged at 77K miles and we took it in for service and had all spark plugs replaced costing almost $300 in repairs just to discover that did not resolve the check engine light to stop illuminating. This vehicle has been maticulously maintained since taking ownership of it in 2018. All service records are available if needed.
