Ford has recalled over 2.9 million vehicles, including 2015–2018 Ford Edge models, due to a faulty transmission shifter cable bushing that can degrade and detach. This defect may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear (specifically Park), creating a risk of unexpected rollaway and injury. I ALMOST HAD A BAD CAR ACCIDENT MY. CAR WAS IN PARK AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS MAKING THIS LOUD SCREECHING NOISE THIS WAS AFTER THE RECALL WAS ALLEGEDLY REPAIRED AND NOW THEY WONT FIX THE ISSUE AND ITS AFFECTED THE TRANSMISSION... THERE WERE NO WARNING MESSAGES AT ALL.. FORD IS TELLING ME I HAVE TO PAY 7,200 DOLLARS FOR A REPAIR THEY DIDN'T FIX PROPERLY NOW I CANT EVEN DRIVE MY CAR ITS STILL IN THEIR POSSESSION

I am submitting this complaint to report a serious engine defect involving coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders on my 2018 Ford Edge. The vehicle was inspected by a Ford-authorized dealership after engine performance concerns. Diagnostic testing confirmed positive combustion gases in the cooling system, indicating internal coolant leakage into the engine. The dealership has stated that the only recommended repair is replacement of the long block (engine). This condition is consistent with a known defect affecting Ford 2.0L EcoBoost engines, which Ford has acknowledged through Technical Service Bulletin 22-2229. Despite this acknowledgment, no recall has been issued for this vehicle. This defect poses a significant safety concern, as it can lead to: - Engine misfires and loss of power - Sudden engine failure while driving - Potential stalling or inability to safely operate the vehicle The failure occurred at approximately 63,110 miles, which is unreasonably low for catastrophic engine damage of this nature and indicates a manufacturing or design defect rather than normal wear.

Coolant is rapidly leaking into the number 2 cylinder causing rough idle, extreme venting form exhaust. Vehicle cannot be driven without causing catastrophic engine damage which could result in loss of power creating a safety issue, or engine fire. Ford knows about the design defect for years and refuses to recall the affected vehicle. The photos below are not my vehicle. They were downloaded from the internet. This is a known problem that Ford refuses to acknowledge.

I have a 2018 Ford Edge. In late October of 2025 my engine light illuminated. The diagnosis was a P301, indicating a misfire in cylinder one. Spark plugs and cylinder 1 coil was replaced. No problems until December and engine light came on again, same code. Coil was replaced again and in January engine light came on again. Ford released TSB 19-2346 on 12-19-19 describing a possible coolant leak in to the cylinders and a engine replacement was suggested. I feel a recall is necessary to prevent safety issues created by slower than normal acceleration and /or engine fires.

The coils kept popping up check engine light. And turns out it was an injector failing, and cause my car to jerk a lot, and not accelerate when needing. My car would almost try to stop accelerating while on highway and jerk so much that it felt like I was going to wreck on the middle of a freeway.
