After passing 100,000 miles an engine light appeared. I took the vehicle to the Ford Dealership and was told that the cylinder was misfiling at startup. I was also told that this is a common problem the technician has been seeing with the Ford Edge around that year make/model. I was also told that a new engine would be needed at $8,000. The technician indicated he is not sure why FORD is not implementing a recall on this issue.

My 2007 Ford Edge / 2.0 Ecoboost engine model (with only 69,000+ miles) had a distinct unsettling shake upon starting, and would occur occasionally during regular driving - causing Check Engine light to appear. Ford dealership inspected and verified that "coolant leaked into the 3rd cylinder - causing a crack in the engine - and only remedy is a total engine replacement." Obviously now an unsafe vehicle to drive. Upon my research / lengthy investigation, I found hundreds of similar failures with this model (to include 2015-2018 Ford Edges with 2.0 Ecoboost engine). Models with this engine version will eventually fail - usually around the 70,000 mile average landmark (which is ironically slightly out of from Ford's 60,000 warranty coverage - rendering this "not covered" by Ford) - and Ford has apparently known this for years. Ford's choices / options offered to me (and upon reading, hundreds of others) center on my being responsible for paying for the replacement - making me responsible for the cost (quoted price from the dealer was around $8200.00) on a vehicle with only 69,000+ miles on it - with a flawed engine design that Ford has been aware of. Was told (in similar if not exact terms) that they aren't responsible for the replacement cost because "There is no Recall on this", and "you are out of warranty" (but by less than 10,000 miles). Or another option is "you can trade it in" (for substantially below what it used to worth). In addition to my being responsible for the cost, the Edge is now worth less than what it was, as if I resell it, I'll need to disclose the problem - and engine replacement. In summary, this is not only unacceptable on the surface, but morally reprehensible. A recall on this (and other similar models), making Ford responsible to costs regarding this well known engine flaw is the right course of action not on for myself, but for the (at least) hundreds with the same problem - and thousands that will eventually have the problem. Thank you.

Engine and combustion chambers cylinder 2 and 3, yes it's available for inspection Sudden overheat and engine failure on road can lead to a serious accidents, also with coolant being leaked in to the combustion chamber could lead to explosions or implosions with the pressure conditions, also there was lot of white, blue smoke outside which was unbreathable Yes, coolant leakage to the combustion chamber is observed by a independent service center No, not at the moment, however this was observed in many 2015-2018 Ford Edge models according to the manufacturer and also said by the independent service center They appeared with the failure but not prior to the failure

I took my 2017 Ford Edge to the Dave Arbogast Ford when my check engine light came on. The dealership stated I need a new engine because coolant was leaking into cylinder 2 causing the misfire which led to the check engine light. After doing some research this is a well known issue with 2015-2018 Ford Edges. A service announcement was put out by Ford https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10162071-0001.pdf on their website (posted June 26, 2019) yet this was never stated to me by the Dave Arbogast Ford dealership when I bought the card in July 2020. My safety and my children's safety has been put at risk due to this issue. This causes the car to potentially overheat and not be used.
