Recently my brakes have become very spongy. We have replaced the brake pads, calipers, rotars and e-brake. They are still spongy and nothing has been resolving the issue. My lines have been bled 3 times now at a cost of $100 each time. I have to pump my brakes to tighten them. Mechanic cannot find any problems. I see there is an open investigation with NHTSA regarding 2015-2017 ford edge braking systems. Not sure if mine is related or not, but something is wrong.

Bought this car a couple of years ago. In the past 6 months we have had to have brakes/rotors fixed ($650), spark plugs, etc ($780). It's had issues with not starting after fueling up with gas. It's been riding rough and rattling/vibrating. Took it to mechanic and he told me it was a manufacturer issue with cylinder 3. Coolant has been leaking and causing misfires. Basically needs a engine rebuild. Recommended we call Ford dealership because it has had several reports filed for this reason. We immediately went to dealership and were basically told "not our problem". But we will run a diagnostic exam for $145 but unless it's under warranty it's your problem. We're like no thank you. Literally just had a $80 diagnostic exam done at the other mechanic. Still owe several thousand on this vehicle that's now basically gonna sit and rot away. Mechanic told us it was unsafe to drive.

The rear brake lines completely failed, leaked as I drove down the driveway. Had to have the car towed and had to pay Ford to replace the lines; over $650. The front brake lines had done the same thing a few years ago. These Ford Edges have lots of manufacturing defects. I had to have the entire engine replaced due to fluid leaking into the pistons. Luckily it was under extended warranty, but Ford should have had to replace anyway since it's a well-documented problem. I'd like the rear brake lines to be under recall so I can get reimbursed.

The rear camera started to turn into a blue screen and sometimes it looked like static. We were told to go to Ford to change the camera (2020 or 2021?). After paying over $900 to fix the camera it broke yet again. We were 3 months past the 2 year warranty and was told if we wanted it fixed we would have to pay again. Now sometimes the camera works when backing out and sometimes its just solid blue. It is available for inspection upon request. This is risky because sometimes there are blind spots when turning our heads to ensure we are not going to hit a pedestrian. Also it takes me twice as long to reverse park due to having to use my mirrors to see the lines which causes drivers to honk or appear restless because I'm not fast enough which could cause me to crash into a parked vehicle. The problem has been confirmed by a dealership which is why they told us to replace it, but now they want us to replace it yet again. No warning lights. The vehicle no longer detects if objects are nearby. This happened shortly before the camera went out. They quoted us on fixing it and we refused due to cost. The vehicle drivers seat cooling and heating no longer works. It works for the passenger, but not the driver. This happened in 2019.

Seems to be the same problem other 2.0L EcoBoost engines are having but my VIN is not part of the recall
The 2.0 ecoboost engine 2017 Ford Edge Titanium coolant leaking into many places. White smoke coming from exhaust flooding into the streets I have been told the Long block issue as well. The vehicle was at an independent service center where it sat for over three weeks while they worked hard trying to find the issues. Finally they advised me to get a second opinion through Ford which I did for over $300 for the same inspection. They have given me an outrageous estimate of over $16,000 to repair the issues. This is a common issue with this particular engine. I have read numerous complaints since purchasing it . Ford needs to be held accountable for all these defective engines they have yet to recall these dangerous vehicles. My vehicle is currently sitting in storage because it is inoperable. I’m still making loan payments on this defective vehicle. I have reached out to Ford many times for assistance and they have turned me away. I will soon have to file a Lawsuit against Ford if they do not come forward and resolve this issue. I will never ever purchase another Ford.

Engine and Cooling Failure on my 2017 Ford Edge. Transmission operating poorly and check engine light was on. Went to dealer for service, and was told faulty gasket is leading to coolant intrusion into the transmission. Was told needed to replace engine at cost of $10,500.

Applied the brakes at a red light brake pedal went to the floor was a few blocks from home got home found right rear brake hose ruptured and brake fluid leaking out
I had purchased the 8 year warranty plan for my 2017 Ford Edge. The week before it expired, I took it in for a oil change and final check. The mileage was only 42,542 miles. Brakes were replaced under warranty and all looked good. Literally the next time we drove it after getting home, at about 55 mph the check engine light came on, motive power was lost, and the brakes and gas pedal lost power. After pumping the brake we got it stopped safely and then towed to the dealer. The code they found was P06E9 and after checking, no engine rotation was detected and the engine was seized and had to be replaced. I have a 2.7L EcoBoost engine which I have since learned has had many issues, class action lawsuits, and also a recall for Ford Edge years 2021 - 2022 for the same engine - replaced for free. Since it was 10 days out of warranty, and literally 50 miles driven out of warranty, Ford would not do anything to repair the car even though the engine issue is a known problem. Repair cost was quoted at $14,849.
Codes P0316 and P0302 misfire cylinder 2, could not remove plug due to seized to head due to coolant intrusion foul up threads of plug. Recommended replacement of long block and related hardware and gasket. Quote for new engine $9,350.

I have been fixing my brakes and rotors every 4 months. 3 times my brake line has busted. The first time there was a recall and it was fixed. The second time I almost died had to hop a curb to stop I had my baby in the car with me. Ford apologized and gave me a free extended platinum warranty and fixed the problem. This last time I was pulling out of the pharmacy and my peddle went straight to the floor and I couldn't stop I was luckily in a empty parking lot. I keep having problems with the brakes and loud squealing noises. I stopped going to the dealership because they said I drive alot and need new breaks every 4 months, when I shouldn't need breaks every couple thousand miles. I'm being tooken advantage of. I can't afford to keep getting brakes and rotors. I'm a single mom on disability. I just got new break pads and rotors and calipers a month ago. I brought my truck into a mechanic to clean the break parts because my rims are so dirty and the squealing is so loud and when I come to a complete stop my truck feels hesitant. The mechanic cleaned & greased my pads and calipers and out some red paste said that should help but it didn't. This is absolutely insanity. Something is wrong. This is the 2nd time my passenger seat belt has stopped working and my air bag light is on. I can't afford to take it back to the dealership and pay 100s of dollars. This has been a repeating problem for years with the breaks. 5 years to be exact. And 8 months ago I fixed the seatbelt.

On the morning of [XXX], I left home in my vehicle for work and felt a difference in brake pressure. After about a block away from home the brake pedal started hitting the floor every time I engaged it. The dashboard indicated that the brake fluid was low, so I returned home to check it and fill up. As I started it up again and engaged the brakes it still hit the floor. On making a visual inspection of the area, pool of fluid was discovered on the ground. I took it to a shop and was informed that the right rear hose was busted. So I had to have it replaced. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
My 2017 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine has been diagnosed with the coolant intrusion issue covered by Ford’s Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) 19-2172 or 22-2229. Initially, engine code P0301indicating misfire in cylinder 3. Ford Dealership Hassett Ford Wantagh NY confirms the TSB issue and recommends long block replacement. There is a danger of engine fire, engine failure and stalling. My odometer is 74,000 miles.
Started the engine of my 2017 Ford Edge and it sounded different. It ran rougher then usual. Stated to my passengers that the car was not sounding right. Shortly there after on the highway at 55mph, the check engine light came on. The car continued to run rough that night. The next day when I started it, the check engine light was still on and I called the Ford dealer for a service appt. At the appt they informed my husband that my 2017 Ford Edge needed a new engine because coolant was leaking into cylinder. Told us we had 10000 miles before we must replace the engine. Appx cost $6000-$7000 Just 2 weeks before while having the oil changed and new brakes installed (because the check brake light came on), they had informed me that the water pump had a tiny leak that I might want to fix but to keep an eye on the temp gauge and carry some coolant until it got fixed. Appx cost $600-$700. Did not fix. Then check engine light came on. Have not fixed engine. Only 98700 miles.
There are approximately 78,000 miles on the car. Recently, a rough start caused the "check engine" light to come on. After taking it to a repair shop, the mechanic discovered there was coolant seeping into the #1 cylinder. Research confirmed that it was a known issue associated with a 'porous block' created during the casting process. Ford has known about this issue with the 2.0 In-line 4 eco-boost engine for over a decade and has not recalled the engine or offered to make any sort of restitution. Repair cost is estimated to be $8,000.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
