2017 Ford Edge complaints

My car loses power when I press the gas. For example, I can come to a stop, wait until it’s safe to turn in front of another car, then try to take off — but the vehicle suddenly loses all power. It won’t accelerate, and I have to keep pressing the gas and hope it goes. Sometimes I have to pull over, put it in park, turn the car off, and restart it before it will drive again. This also happens on the freeway. When this issue happens, the car also shifts very hard afterward, causing it to jump forward. This makes the vehicle extremely unsafe — especially when I am trying to turn in front of cars moving at high speed and my car suddenly loses all power. I have taken the vehicle in five times for the same issue, but the Ford dealership has not been able to repair it. I have also called Ford’s corporate office, but they said they cannot help. I opened a case with the BBB as well, and they advised me to open a case with you. At this point, I am at a complete loss with this issue. I travel with my two kids in the car, and I am honestly afraid to drive it — but I have no other vehicle.

Engine leaking coolant into cylinders. Creating risk of smoke and fire, known issue with for per TSB 19-2208

The contact owned a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact received a notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V469000 (Service brakes, Service Brakes, Hydraulic); and several other recall notifications. The contact requested to be removed from the recall distribution list because the vehicle was totaled. The manufacturer was contacted several times.

I bought this car used from Honda Dealership. It had 84,000 mileage on it and since then. The headlights are so dim and I can’t see you have to drive with high beam on every time I go at night I’ve changed almost we like 56 different types light bulb, but still nothing still worst. If I used one for the manufacturer one it’s nothing it’s literally dark outside. I can’t see nothing and another problem is as the ball joint since I bought it I took it from my first oil change when they did the inspection on the car they told me one of my passenger side ball joint was loose but that time I didn’t have money to repair it because it was almost $5000 they said and I was like I don’t have the money. I’m a college student so and recently my car wheel is to the left side more. Something if there’s anything I can do is there anything y’all can do to help cause I don’t want to get in an accident because of that thing.

Check engine light came on intermittantly and would turn off. When it stayed on I took it into the dealer who diagnosed leak of coolant into number 3 cylinder, requiring a new engine. This happened at just above 65,000 miles. Car is starting and driving rough, some erratic acceleration and is worse every day.

A couple months ago, my right rear brake line broke. Yesterday, my left brake line also broke. On the first occasion, a warning lamp appeared on my dash, but it did not alert me this most recent time. On both occasions, my breaks were very spongey and I noticed my car take an extended time to stop, and it never came to a complete stop. I also noticed greasy fluid leaking from the rear. The right side has been repaired by a Ford dealership, but I had to pay for it. I'm still awaiting a repair for this 2nd line and I have brought this recall notice to the dealerships attention. I've requested that the repair the part free of charge but it's not resolved yet

Coolant leak into Cylinder 3

Bought this car, 100,000 miles on it, and 2 days after My check engine light comes on and coil 2 is misfiring, i get new coils and plugs, and 3 hours later it starts it again, I end up taking it to my local ford dealership and they discovered I need a new engine due to a crack in my long block and coolant getting in coil 2...I just brought a car that needs 8000 dollars of work done. I wish I knew what to do. This has been awful. Sometimes it decides to misfire at red lights or even driving down the road, ford should fix this issue

The check engine light turned on. It was diagnosed at Auto Zone as 'cylinder 2 not firing correctly' and the possibility of a bad sparkplug. At the Ford dealership (2 days later), it was diagnosed as a 'coolant intrusion'; leaking coolant into the engine. The engine currently works but the leak will cause engine failure. The Ford dealership service agent told me that this model Edge as well as the Escort with the same engine has had this same issue repeatedly. The engine has less than 70,000 miles and is no longer under warranty. Through researching this issue on my own, many people (especially on Reddit) have identified the same issue with these Ford cars ranging from 60,000-70,000 miles. The dealership is offering $2,000 check/buy back or a replacement of an engine at a value of $8, 350.

Common engine failure on the 2.0l of cylinder cracking allowing coolant to leak into engine and misfire. Engine filled with coolant and wrecked the motor. Ford has done multiple engine swaps costing customers $8,000 for a defective block they changed in the newer years. I feel we should not pay for their mistake!

Answers to specific questions above: *Head gasket, coolant, engine failure *A running engine/coolant/and head gaskets are valuable to a vehicle to operate *Confirmed by an independent service center *Not inspected by manufacturer, police, or insurance. When I got the first notification of a coolant warning, I drove it immediately to the independent service center *The check engine light came on, then the coolant is low light, to which I then took it in for service I purchased this vehicle in December 2024 from a private party with approximately 56,000 miles on it, which is well within what should be considered reasonable, reliable use for a Ford vehicle. To date, there are approximately 61,000 miles on the vehicle. In August 2025, I was forced to replace the motor due to a head gasket and coolant issues. The work was completed at a reputable local auto shop, Auto Aces, at a total cost of $6,649.30. After further research, I discovered there is a current Technical Service Bulletin for this exact make, model, and year, identifying the same issues I experienced. I understand that a TSB is not an official recall; however, it demonstrates that Ford was aware of the defect. I firmly believe Ford bears responsibility for this failure and the financial burden it has caused. Additionally, after only 16 months, the battery inexplicably failed and required replacement. While this was covered under warranty, it further illustrates the unreliability of this vehicle. This expense was not t

So I bought my Ford edge in the early spring of 2025. A couple of months after I had this vehicle the brake fluid light started flashing on my dash so my husband checked the brake fluid level and it was low. We filled it up we proceeded to go on with our life, but then we started having to constantly put brake fluid in it about that same time I went and had an oil change done, and Jiffy Lube was doing the walk around of a car of my car and my husband asked him to please check the brakes because we were having to put an usual amount of brake fluid in car so upon inspection they noticed that the left rear brake line had burst and was leaking a considerable amount of brake fluid upon further investigation that my husband did he found that there was a recall done on the front brake lines and the way he read it was that the rear brake lines were also in question as well what he didn’t really realize at the beginning was that the rear tires or though I’m sorry the rear brake lines were under investigation of being recalled, but not recalled at this time so I’ve had $150 to have my brake lines fixed on the left rear side of the car I had them fixed with cell Ford in new Bern, North Carolina, and when I went back this evening to look at their inspection to figure out exactly what was fixed because when we stopped for gas this evening, my husband, after not being able to stop very well at a stop sign on the way to get gas saw that the left rear brake line had burst and if you hit the

Coolant intrusion into cylinder block requiring engine replacement. (I unfortunately own TWO 2017 Ford Edge Titanium vehicles with the defective 2.0 L EcoBoost engine). I have had to replace the engine in BOTH vehicles which failed withing 10,000 miles of one another. This engine failed at 105,000 miles. The vehicle has been routinely maintained and the failure occured with no warning. The company is aware of the defect and no longer supports customers. There is a TSB issued which identifies the issue (22-2229). A Ford Edge forum on Facebook reveals that a decent percentage of the membership with this era model have experienced the same failure, with the same lack of support from the manufacturer.

Known coolant intrusion issue in 15-18 Ford Edges. Coolant leaks into the cylinders, hard starts, check engine, without a new motor replaced, the engine will explode. This should be a recall since it’s consistent on almost every single edge from the years listed. I had to replace the engine at 88,000 miles. $8,000 of work done for an issue that is known to Ford.

3 months ago, Engine just stopped while driving. Thankfully traffic was light. Had it been one hour later I would have caused an accident on the freeway. Now just last week, the engine was starting rough and the check engine light came on. Brought it in and found out the coolant was intruding into the cylinders. Engine is ruined. Sounds very common for the failure of head gasket causing coolant leak into cylinders.

While driving at highway speeds the engine suddenly began knocking, white smoke billowing from the car and it came to a stop. No lamps prior to failure. FORD is aware that 2017 Ford Edge vehicles were made with this defect. The dealer has confirmed code PO304 coolant intrusion into cylinder 4 and also determine that the turbo has failed. Failed turbo is also a known manufacturer defect by Ford. The safety issue is the dramatic loss of speed on the highway without warning while emitting a blinding and distracting smoke screen to other drivers.

Coolant intrusion into the cylinder block requiring new engine. Issue is known to manufacturer but Company no longer offers any support to customers. Dealership confirmed issue with scope showing Crack in cylinder. I maintained the vehicle and did regular fluid checks. Failure occurred with no warning.

The first symptom on my 2017 2.0 L EcoBoost engine with 79,000 miles was a rough start and check engine indicator. The warning light cleared and engine ran better while at operating temp. The symptoms became worse over the next few weeks, when I noticed that there was no heat coming from the heater as the coolant was very low and the engine was overheating. I had difficulty removing the coolant reservoir cap as there was significant vacuum and no coolant showing. When I got the cap off, the coolant boiled up, leaving a small amount in the bottom. I added coolant to make it home and called the local Ford dealer who informed me that there is a service bulletin about coolant leaking into the cylinders and the repair might likely mean an engine replacement. The engine replacement would cost $12000 at the dealer so I brought the car to my mechanic who scoped the cylinders and found damage in the third cylinder. Since he had replaced nine of these engines for the same problem and knowing that the faulty engine design had been corrected in 2020, he recommended long block engine replacement, which has been completed. Had I not noticed the engine overheating, I could have been stranded or worse -- had an engine fire. My mechanic informed me he has now replaced ten 2016-2019 2.0 liter EcoBoost engines for the same issue.

My 2017 ford edge, 74,000 miles 2.0 eco boost had a code after hesitating, running rough and having white smoke from exhaust. The check engine light came on and the code was Po302. We replaced the coil pack and the light continued. Brought it to local dealership and they confirmed TSB-22-2229 and needed long block for 12,000$. After much research, for some reason other eco boost cars have had extended warranties but of course not this model. Is this real life? The safety concerns and the cost are outrageous to say the least.

Bad catalyst converter. Needs to be replaced.Vehicle is not even 10 years old

At less than 70,000 miles on the engine, a check engine light came on (July 2025). To this point there had been no lights or warnings, but apparently there was coolant intruding into the engine cylinder. This likely had been an ongoing issue but finally created a warning light around 69,000. This design defect created the potential for immediate engine overheating while traveling at highway speeds. A dealer has yet to look at my vehicle but an independent service center diagnosed a blown gasket due to the intrusion. And others with the same engine 2.0L have suffered similar issues (as evidenced by recent June 2025 class action suit).

I am the owner of a 2017 Ford Edge with only 63k miles on it (VIN: [XXX] ), which I purchased from Depaula Ford in July of 2020. This vehicle has experienced significant engine problems consistent with the symptoms described in TSB 19 2346. Specifically, my vehicle has suffered coolant intrusion into the combustion chamber, leading to white smoke from the exhaust, misfires, and a noticeable loss of coolant. After diagnostic inspection at Depaula Ford in Albany, it was confirmed that the engine requires replacement.

My 2017 Ford Edge Sport has the exploding Panoramic moonroof. The first incident - the car was parked and the front movable glass panel was cracked (see picture 1). No objects hit the glass. The second incident occurred while was wife was driving on the interstate at 75mph. It sounded like a gun shot - glass exploded into the passenger compartment - luckily the sunvisor was CLOSED or my wife and her parents in the backseat would have been sprayed with broken glass (see pictures 2 and 3). No objects hit the glass - there were no other vehicles around her at the time of the incident. We have now replaced the movable glass panel twice at a total cost of $2500 -- via insurance with our deducible of $1000. And NOW - the rear non-movable glass panel is cracked! It just won't end! The 1st incident was about Oct. 25, 2024- the 2nd incident was around May 9, 2025.

A coolant intrusion required the long block to be replaced.

I am filing this report due to a serious and costly engine failure in my 2017 Ford Edge Titanium with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. My vehicle has always been properly maintained and I recently experienced pre-mature engine issues at only 93,000 miles. The issue began with rough starts, hovering RPMs, and eventually led to a complete engine failure. My mechanic diagnosed the problem as coolant intrusion into the engine, which I have since learned is a known issue covered by Ford’s Technical Service Bulletin TSB 19-2208. It appears most people begin experiencing this issue at 50,000-90,000 miles. The cost to replace the engine is between $8,000 and $9,000, and my vehicle is no longer under warranty. I am still paying off this car, which makes this financially devastating — and this failure occurred well before the end of a reasonable engine lifespan. I’m concerned this issue poses a safety risk, as coolant loss and engine failure could happen suddenly while driving. Ford has not issued a recall or formal repair program, despite hundreds (if not thousands) of similar complaints online. I respectfully urge the NHTSA to investigate the 2015–2018 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine for a potential recall or safety action related to premature engine failure due to internal coolant leaks.
