2017 FORD EDGE Complaints

Per TSB 19-2208 coolant leaking into the engine - Diagnostic code P0303. Spark plug and coil were replaced and still pulled code P0303. Took to Ford dealer and Engine needs replacement 58543 miles.

2.0L ecotec engine code 420 made in Cleveland, Ohio. Coolant intrusion into the cylinders can cause engine to overheat or run rough and shut off at highway speeds causing an accident. Ford is well aware of this issue and the fix is to replace the engine at the cost of the consumer. Estimates are upwards of $8,000 for the repair to be done.

Engine failed due to coolant intrusion. Dealership told me it was a known issue was only covered by ford because I have 3k miles left of warranty or would have been on the hook. Was told by service adviser it’s a known issue that ford hopes you catch outside the warranty

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while restarting the vehicle or while the engine was idling, the vehicle would vibrate and shake. Additionally, there was a fuel odor present inside the cabin of the vehicle. The check engine warning light illuminated and remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that cylinder #3 was faulty and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.

I have on my car for about a year now and when I first received it about a month into it I noticed this first issue. I would be driving and all the sudden I would loose acceleration. All dash lights that could come on did. This includes BLIS system failure. Transmission failure. Engine coolant temp failure. Traction control failure. Etc etc. The vehicle enters a limp mode I believe, and in doing so it very harshly shifts down through the transmission gears as I am slowing down. This happened a second time a month after the first incident as I was entering a highway between a bridge where I only had half my car width of space to pull over on both sides. In a blind bend, in a very dangerous place to pull over. I switched to 93 octane in hopes this would fix the issue, and for 6-8 months I haven't had that issue again. Until yesterday. I went to try to pass somebody in a passing zone when my vehicle did exactly as listed above. At this point I firmly believe it has something to do with the ECU, the brains of the car as I think this is the only thing that can tie all the errors together (it’s literally every warning I can think of). Ive taken it to Ford twice now for this issue, and will be inquiring about this again when I get my inspection on Saturday. They stated there is absolutely no data that points them anywhere when they check the stored codes. Even though there was a check engine light. This even further leads me to believe its an ECU issue, as it maybe errors out and is unable to store any codes. Over all its a serious safety issue that no ford dealer is able to diagnose for me. Googling leads me to the FordEdgeForum where other people are experiencing the same issue but without a full solution as its such an intermediate problem and cannot be easily duplicated.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle sputtered with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the spark plugs were misfiring. Additionally, the contact was informed that the ignition coil in cylinder #1 was defective. The spark plugs and ignition coil was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Head gasket failure. Began around 4/13/2022 at mileage 63,988. Was confirmed by Spirit Ford Dundee,Michigan via scope down a piston chamber to detect fluid. Vehicle coolant dropped down to where heat output was affected. Had white plumes from exhaust. Believe this was premature for this type of failure. Elected to have repair at Tanner Automotive Adrian,Michigan. See attached invoice for $2,270.61. Am not interested in compensation. Discussed this with Ford who declined. Simply wish to make record as Ford is aware of this issue; otherwise they would not have issued tech service bulletin for same.If NHTSA issues recall for same; would then participate in all benefits deemed by NHTSA. Vehicle is titled in my wife's name: Sheila Bork Bowman 10550 Pentecost Hwy, Onsted,Mi.49265

Car's brakes went to floor when engaged. Driver pumped them several times to slow car. Engine light came on; took car to mechanic and brake repair was made, but engine light kept appearing. Then the car would not crank and was towed to the mechanic and the battery was replaced. Finally, the car's body/wheels appeared to be shaking when driving and the engine light appeared again. Car was taken to a Ford repair center where service department informed us that the engine needed to be replaced due to coolant leak. The car is driveable but unsafe and requires expensive engine replacement. After doing research, this appears to be a well known problem with the Ford Edge and consumers aren't receiving adequate information about the extent of the problem or safety concerns. A recall needs to be issued for this defect and Ford needs to take responsibility to fix the problem.
