I am currently dealing with the coolant intrusion into cylinder 2 of the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. In the beginning of XXX at about 134K miles, the check engine light came on. I was at a stop light (.2 miles from my home) and I got a warning message telling me the coolant temp was high and engine power was reduced. When I got home, I saw that the coolant was low, but there has not been any leaks noticed in driveway, refilled and was fine for 2 weeks. During those 2 weeks, I was having a rough idle at start up, and white smoke coming from exhaust. Then on the way to work the engine was overheating. Pulled over and turned off on the side of a highway to let it cool. After 10 minutes, turned the car back on to continue to work (which was a mile away), also turned on the heat to pull from the engine, the air was cold until I started driving then it warmed. I am now having to fill the coolant every few days and having misfires while accelerating causing me to stall and then traffic approaching me having to slow to avoid hitting me.

At approximately 7:00 a.m. on 10/22/2026 I was driving my 2017 Ford Edge when suddenly there was a loud bang towards the rear of my car. Immediately after, I could hear my rear window shattering, cracking. There were no other cars near me at the time. As I continued to drive, the glass continued to crack and shatter. Glass started to break completely free from my window, and fall inside my rear hatch, as well as on the outside of the car on the road.

My 2017 Ford Edge SEL, equipped with a 1.5L EcoBoost engine, experienced a catastrophic engine failure at 66,897 miles due to coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders — a defect Ford Motor Company had already identified and documented in Technical Service Bulletin TSB 22-2229, issued in 2022. Warning symptoms: The check engine light began flashing accompanied by a rough cold start, noise on startup, and engine misfiring. These symptoms appeared suddenly and without prior indication of any mechanical issue. Component that failed: The 1.5L EcoBoost engine — specifically, coolant intrusion into the cylinder(s) caused by a known manufacturing defect. The failed long block engine is available for inspection upon request. Confirmed by dealer: Yes — confirmed by two separate authorized Ford dealerships. The first dealership initially misdiagnosed the failure as a spark plug and ignition coil issue ($830.66 charged for an ineffective repair). Ten days later the same dealership dispatched a technician who performed a coolant pressure test and borescope inspection, confirmed coolant intrusion consistent with TSB 22-2229, and recommended a complete long block engine replacement — waiving all fees, which I consider a tacit acknowledgment of the prior misdiagnosis. A second authorized Ford dealer subsequently confirmed the diagnosis and performed the long block engine replacement at a cost of $8,291.37.

The component that has failed is the engine and it is available for inspection. The vehicle on multiple occasions has had loss of power while driving. The most recent incident was when I was driving 100 miles on interstate 81 and could not go more then 60 miles an hour. I had multiple semis and vehicles that had to go around me as the speed limit was 70. It also had severe loss of power going over mountains to go home. It also would shudder upon starting up and constantly lost antifreeze. I took the vehicle to Stuckey ford Bellefonte service shop and they confirmed coolant leaking into cylinder 2 and that it needed a new engine. They performed a multi-point vehicle inspection and a visual inspection. Stuckey Ford has inspected it and confirmed it. I called Ford customer care head quarters and quoted them the Ford technical service bulletin TsB19-2346 and they refuse to take ownership of the faulty engine. I also talked to Stuckey ford in Bellefonte and they stated they could not do anything to correct the faulty engine except charge me $8,000 for a new engine. Previously the check engine light came on. New coil packs and spark plugs were installed but this did not fix the problem. It often shuttered while starting up. When a scan tool was placed on it the codes were P0316, P0302, P0300 which means misfire cylinder 2, misfire first 1000 revolutions per minute, turbo over boost out of parameter.

I am reporting a loss-of-coolant and rough-running condition consistent with coolant intrusion into the cylinders, the defect described in Ford TSBs 19-2208, 19-2346, 22-2133, and 22-2229, and the subject of NHTSA defect petition DP26008. The engine has unexplained coolant loss with no visible external leak. It also has a rough start. A stored diagnostic code was present; I believe it was P0302, signalling a misfire in cylinder 2 and P0316, signaling misfire detected on start up. No crash, fire, or injury. I am reporting before a total loss of power because these failures are described as occurring while driving. In August, I brought the vehicle into my local Ford dealer for an oil change, described the coolant loss, rough start, an almost overheating situation, and the known 2.0L EcoBoost coolant-intrusion defect, and asked them to perform the cooling-system pressure test and spark-plug inspection in Ford’s TSBs. They refused the test, stating it sounded like a car they saw the week before. They also refused to note on the repair order that they had refused it. No OASIS campaign printout was given to me. Ford has acknowledged this failure mode in service bulletins. The specified repair is a long-block replacement. There is no Edge 2.0L customer-satisfaction program equivalent to the 1.5L short-block program. I want the defect investigated as a safety defect because coolant intrusion can cause misfire, overheating, and loss of motive power, all of which can be safety issues i

Coolant intrusion into cylinder 2 of the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, confirmed by an independent mechanic. In early July 2026, at about 107,100 miles, the check engine light came on. The engine ran rough and shook on cold starts, and a scan showed misfire codes P0302 and P0304. The coolant reservoir was almost empty, but there was no external leak: cardboard under the engine stayed dry overnight. Coolant gurgled behind the dash after each cold start. I logged the engine with an OBD-II data logger over several cold starts. After the car sat about 32 hours, cylinder 2 misfired 4 times in the first 9 seconds after start-up and then ran clean. After about 21 hours parked, it did not misfire. That pattern fits coolant leaking into the cylinder while the car sits. On July 15, 2026, an independent mechanic confirmed coolant intrusion into cylinder 2: - The cooling system was pressurized to 24 psi and dropped below 20 psi overnight. - A borescope showed antifreeze pooled on top of the cylinder 2 piston. - On restart, the engine blew a puff of white smoke with an antifreeze smell. - The scan showed P0302 and P0316 (misfire during start-up). Safety risk: the coolant loss had no visible source, so the only warnings were the check engine light and a low reservoir. Coolant in a cylinder can lead to engine damage or loss of power while driving. The vehicle was out of warranty. The manufacturer did not inspect it. I paid $6,500 to replace the engine at an independent shop, completed in August 202

My 2017 Ford Edge EcoBoost, with approximately 118,824 miles, began experiencing rough starts accompanied by white exhaust. On one occasion, the vehicle also experienced a loss of power while being driven. Shortly afterward, the check engine light illuminated. My husband took the vehicle to AutoZone to have the diagnostic code read, and the code indicated an engine misfire. We then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic for further diagnosis. We were informed that the engine had a cracked cylinder block that was allowing coolant to intrude into the engine. As a result of this failure, the vehicle is now undrivable. We obtained multiple repair estimates and were advised that a complete engine replacement is the only repair option. The estimates we received ranged from approximately $7,000 to $12,000. I contacted Ford Customer Relations directly to report the engine failure and request assistance. Ford opened a case, but the case was closed quickly without a physical inspection of my vehicle or any apparent investigation into the cause of the engine failure. Ford declined to provide assistance. I am concerned about the safety implications of this failure, particularly because the vehicle experienced a loss of power while being driven on one occasion before becoming undrivable.

99k miles on it, just got diagnosed with coolant intrusion and it needs an entire motor. My warranty company is refusing to pay for it due to MANUFACTURER FLAW AND DEFECT. So now I’m left paying a monthly car note on a car that’s sitting in my driveway. Single mom just lost her thought to be reliable transportation to take care of her family. Don’t have 10-11 grand to spend on it. Ford knows about this defect and isn’t doing anything about it.

The engine has a manufacturing defect causing internal coolant intrusion into the combustion cylinders, exactly as documented in Ford Technical Service Bulletin TSB 19-2346. A certified Ford dealership inspected the vehicle and explicitly confirmed this engine block failure on official paperwork. The vehicle exhibits severe engine misfires, rough idling, low coolant levels, and a check engine warning light. This defect creates an immediate safety hazard due to the high risk of sudden, uncommanded loss of motor power and vehicle stalling while operating in active roadway traffic. The engine remains available for federal safety inspection upon request.

On August 31, the check engine light on my 2017 Ford Edge had a check engine light come on. I took the car into the original dealership that sold me the vehicle. The service department diagnosed the car with a coolant intrusion leak into the engine and would need a long block engine replacement. The car only has 31,000 miles on it and I was never made aware that this issue is longstanding with these vehicles with engines from 2015-2017. If I had been notified of this faulty manufacture issue, I would have taken the steps to rectify this issue before the problem arose.

There was no heat coming out of the air vents when the cabin temperature was set for heating and high temperature. There were no warning lamps or messages on the display, or any other symptoms. After two weeks of this issue, I took it to the dealer to have them investigate the issue. The dealer service representative immediately noticed the coolant reservoir was empty. They said it was not safe to drive and they needed to do an immediate diagnostic and inspect to determine the root cause. The next day they concluded there was a coolant intrusion in cylinder #3 upon completion of a thorough diagnostics and inspection. They said the only repair fix for this issue is to replace the entire long block (engine assembly).

Driving the suv, and experienced power loss. Getting on expressway, the motor was acting erratic, and check engine light was on and off. Took to Ford dealer and they said the engine was no good, coolant leak. So I went to other dealers and all said the same. Finally went to Langs Automotive, and they did a long block engine replacement. The suv has 60,000 miles! Without the replacement the suv was a danger to drive.

Ford customer service wrote down what I owed except for approximately $2761. The case with Ford is: CAS 40786472-F5V9C8. I think the whole thing should have been covered.

I read on my news feed today about issues with a 2017 Ford Edge that there are problems with coolant leaking into the combustion chamber and that we should report this to the NHTSA. We just traded in our 2017 edge that had this problem. In August of 26 I had a check engine light come on and the engine started running very rough, I had O'Reilly's hook up the diagnostic tool and it showed it needed a tune up. I put new coil packs and spark plugs in and this did not take care of the problem. I took the vehicle to Performance Truck Country in Woods Cross Utah, the found that there was coolant leaking into the #3 cylinder via a warped block. Please see attached document and pics. We would like to help in anyway for others who may have been affected, I am available by phone, text or email. Thank You,

Experienced car can be rough on start. Check engine light came on in the process. I fear the reported possible premature head gasket failure perhaps cracks between the cylinders. Coolant might be migrating into the combustion chambers, leading to misfiring, corrosion, and total engine failure.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was diagnosed with an OBD2 scanner and a DTC for a misfire in cylinder #2 was retrieved. An appointment was scheduled with the dealer to inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 62,800.
Complaints 1-50 of 1,377, newest first, reproduced as filed.
It is not among the Edge years to avoid. Owners filed 1,377 complaints, against about 774 for a typical Edge year. The most common complaint is about the engine (64%). In NHTSA crash tests it scored 5 stars overall.
What is the most common problem with the 2017 Ford Edge?
The engine: 877 of the 1,377 complaints (64%) are about it. Owners most often say it turns on the check engine light (63%), sets off warning lights on the dash (53%) and leaks oil or fluid (46%). The typical report comes at 73,000 miles.
How many recalls does the 2017 Ford Edge have?
8 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Sep 3, 2025. The largest, 22V413000, covered 2,925,968 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.

They include a service campaign, 25N13, filed Sep 11, 2026. A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.
Reading this record
Complaint volume is well above typical for a single model year.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Most recent recall on file: Sep 3, 2025. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
