We were sent a recall notice from Ford (Program 22N12-Flexplate) in September 2022. Our vehicle was in the service department for an engine replacement in August of 2022. I asked my local dealer to make repair before I left for a trip from Lewisville, TX to Athens, Ga for our granddaughter's graduation. They would not because the FLEXPLATE must be broken. On our return trip home, we pulled into our hotel in Laurel, Ms. There was loud noise from the engine compartment. Went to the local dealer and he said come back in the morning and they would check it out. They found the flexplate broken and the dealer said the vehicle was unsafe to drive. Thank God it broke in town rather than on the lonely interstate at night. We believe this program should be completed immediately before you are left alone on the side of the interstate. In addition, we incurred extra expenses that Ford is not reimbursing us.
Engine emission light came on. cylinder 2 misfire code. Engine ruinning rough when first started. Dealer found coolant low. Performed diagnostics - need new engine. coolant leaking into engine. Not part of an existing recall but known problem. In reading what could happen: my engine could over heat, seize and start on fire. I was fortunate that none of this occured putting myself or others at risk or leaving me stranded on the road. I am attaching the technical service bulletin. this recall needs to be expanded. Vehicle currently at the dealer. We are determining next steps. https://www.com/ford-edge-recalls/#:~:text=2016%2C%202017%20and%202018%20Ford,and%20a%20loss%20of%20power.

Check engine light came on, Cylinder 3 misfire, head gasket cracked and leaking coolant into cylinder, need to replace entire motor.
Cylinder engine misfires due to a faulty manufactured head gasket. Ford motor co was apparently aware of the manufacturing flaw but has yet to issue a recall on certain Ford Edge models sold manufactured and sold between 2013 -2018. The solution to the problem requires a completely new engine with average cost ranging between $6,000 to $8,000 dollars. If these particular models are driven without the requisite repairs it can result in complete engine failure of fires. This presents a serious hazard to drivers and occupants of the vehicle as well as other motorists.

2018 Ford Edge with a little over 25000 miles and serviced at the dealership it was purchased from. The battery will drain to less than 5 volts overnight for no apparent reason. Unit is on its second battery and it test fine. The issue is not consistent, sometimes it will happen only after a couple of months, othertimes after a few days between occurances. Its appears when when the car if turned off, something in one of its many computers is not shutting down all the required systems allowing the battery to drain overnight. Short of installing a battery disconnect switch, I', running out of ideas. Neither my wife of I feel safe driving the car, since it may leave us stranded.

I am experiencing a coolant leak into the engine of my vehicle. I was told there was a recall for many 2015-2018 Ford Edge's but it seems mine is not one of them. This is exactly like the recall I see that is 20V469000. I am trying to find out how to get someone to look into my issue and see about getting me included in this recall or any others that are associated with coolant leaking into the engine.
I have a 2018 Ford Edge 2.0L Ecoboost with approximately 68,000 miles on it. While driving the vehicle on June 12, 2023, the check engine light began to come on and off intermittently. During this time, the vehicle began to heavily shake and began to involuntarily jerk as though it was having issues moving forward. I took the vehicle straight to a Firestone where they ran diagnostic tests for 2 days. They tried replacing spark plugs but said that is not the issue. They recommended taking the vehicle to a dealership. An appointment was made and the car dropped off at a Ford dealership on June 21,2023. After running more tests, the dealership is stating that there is a manufacturing defect with the engine block which has caused coolant leakage into the engine, damaging the engine so extensively that it needs to be replaced. I was quoted around $8,000 for repairs. I have an extended warranty with a 3rd party company who is denying my claim due to the issue being a manufacturing issue. I have done research and found this to be a common issue with this year make and model and that the issue could cause a fire or catastrophic failure. After extensive research, it seems this is a common issue with owners of this make and model and this engine. There have been hundreds of complaints filed. This should be a recall as people can be severely hurt in the event of fire or catastrophic failure. And most people do not have nearly $10,000 to spend to replace an issue that is common and well
Brought in for a check engine light on. They found that coolant was leaking into motor causing it to Misfire. Dealer said a new long block was the only fix. My car had 64k miles and it cost me $8438.58. The dealer stated that Ford won’t help with the cost because I haven’t bought enough Ford products (This is my 2nd) or had my vehicle serviced at a Ford dealer. The car is currently going back in the shop on Wednesday because the light went on again after a brand new motor was installed.

The glass sunroof has spontaneous wavy cracking throughout 50% of the front portion. I am concerned about the integrity of the glass, as well as the safety of myself and passengers in the vehicle. There was no apparent point of impact; it appears to be a tempering/temperature issue. No warning lights, messages, etc. were present. I noticed the issue upon opening the shade screen below the roof, which I haven't opened for a few weeks. I am not sure of the exact date that the cracking began. I will keep a close eye on it to see if the surface area increases.
My 2018 ford edge coolant has hairline cracks which caused coolant to leak into the engine. I was unaware of this until it was taken to a Ford service center when the check engine light came on. Ford knows about this and has a bulletin out for it. The engine is burning this coolant and it could cause the engine to overheat.

My car was mis-firing, AutoZone ran a diagnostic test and said it was the #2 cylinder. We replaced all of the spark plugs and cylinders and it was still mis-firing. O’Reilly’s ran a diagnostic test and said it was the #2 and #3 cylinders. I was then driving to the store and got a warning message that the car was overheating. I stopped and we looked and there was no coolant. We contacted a local mechanic who said he had seen this problem before in other Ford Edge’s that the coolant was leaking into the cylinders and when the car warmed up and burned off the coolant it ran like it was not mis-firing, and that is exactly what my Ford Edge was doing. We were told by the Ford dealership that we would need to replace the long block and Ford was not issuing a recall because this particular Edge was not made at a certain plant. Well they need to include the plant where this Edge was made because it has the same coolant intrusion problem.
My 2.0L EcoBoost engine is having the coolant intrusion into the cylinder issue that Ford has acknowledge in a technical service bulletin, but is not doing anything about it. There is a design flaw with this engine and Ford has redesigned in in later years, but has not issued a recall. The coolant reservoir is getting low and there are no signs of leak under the vehicle as it is leaking into the cylinder. I was getting DTCs for cylinder 2 misfire and my car would shake on startup some times. I changed the spark plugs and ignition packs at 100k and noticed that the cylinder 2 spark plugged looked more brown/burnt (it was burning coolant in the cylinder) than he other 3. The coolant has been low (below the min mark) and I have topped it off 3 times already as the issue keeps reoccurring. Coolant in the cylinder is an issue and low coolant could cause the engine to overheat and blow at any point and could be a catastrophic accident waiting to happen. I spoke about the symptoms over the phone to the service guy at my local Ford dealer and he was already familiar with this issue and confident that I have it based on our conversation. I have plans to take it to my mechanic to have them inspect it as well as the dealer.
Please Note: I filed a previous complaint (#11511950) on 03/15/2023. Please refer to Ford Technical Service Bulletin TSB 22-2229 issued in June 2022 regarding coolant intrusion into cylinder head on 2017 - 2020 Ford Ecoboost 2.0L engines. Due to a faulty design all of these engines are all destined for total failure. In their own technical service bulletin Ford describes the appropriate fix as total engine replacement. Because of what should surely be considered Ford's manufacturing defect, coolant inevitably intrudes into the cylinder head(s) mixing coolant with the fuel. Once this has begun it is only a matter of time before the engine fails. If such a total engine failure (hydrolock) occurrs at speed the results could be catastrophic, leading to deaths and injuries. Under these circumstances it is difficult to understand why there has not been a recal on these faulty engines. Further, Ford has already offered owners of Ford vehicles with the Ecoboost 1.5L engines, subject to the same problem for the same reason, total engine replacement regardless of mileage.
The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that during the past winter, whenever the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light or stop sign, the heater would blow out cold air through the vents. The contact stated that later the check engine warning light would become illuminated, and the vehicle would start to make abnormal engine sounds as if the engine was chugging. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that coolant was leaking into cylinder #2. The contact was advised that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to TSB: 19-2346 Coolant in Cylinders (Engine and Engine Cooling). The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.
Question 1 answer: Last month, the check engine light on my 2018 Ford Edge came on. So, we took it to the Ford dealership for repairs 0n 5/3/2023. The service center said that there was a problem with one of the spark plugs and replaced it. The cost was $193.47. Following the repair, the check engine light was reset and the car ran smoothly. I took the car on a trip and drove it around 1,000 miles. The check engine light came on again. I returned the car to the same dealership service center on 5/26/2023. Ford told me (see receipt) there was a code P0302 and P0316 and indicated cylinder #2 was misfiring. Receipt said checked all cylinders and pistons for discoloration. Cylinder #2 was badly discolored. Vehicle has coolant intrusion in cylinders - needs motor. This bill was $180. Service desk personnel asked whether I had an extended warranty since vehicle was at 68,352 miles. I said, "no." Service desk told me that I needed a new motor and the cost would be around $10,000! Service desk also told me that this was a common problem with several Ford models including the Edge, Focus, and Fusion. Yes, it is available for inspection upon request unless we sell or trade it. Question 2: The only safety issue may be that I could have been out on the road if the engine failed. Question 3: See Question 1 answer and attached receipt from car dealership service center Question 4: No, unless you consider the Ford dealership service center as "the manufacturer." Question 5: Prior to each ca
I took my car in for Ford Recalls to be performed and asked for the tech to check out why my Check engine light came on. Initially they could not find what caused it so they charged me close to $500 to do an in depth investigation and found that I had a crack in my engine that was causing coolant to leak into it. It could not be repaired and I would have to replace the engine. My car only had just over 65,000 miles on it, and unfortunately just over the warranty. So I was charged $7,000 to replace it. When I called the main Ford Customer Service number I was told that this seems to be a common issue with this year and model but there was nothing that I could do about it, short of a recall being issued for the engine problem. I had no other choice but to replace the engine as driving it could leave me stranded somewhere which was not an option. I was without the use of my car for three weeks with no assistance from Ford. The fact that this is a known issue but still was not covered is ridiculous. I previously owned a 1998 Ford Explorer Sport with over 300,000 miles on it and never had an issue with my engine. I believe that since this is a known issue with this Ford year, make and model that there should be recall issued so that consumers are not having to deal with this very expensive inconvenience. Thank you.

I own a 2018 ford edge sel whose flex plate has cracked. Ford has stated that their edge models between the years 2015-2018 have faulty flex plates, which are prone to cracking and shattering. I noticed a change one day in how the vehicle was running, and the next day heard the rattle coming from the engine. I took it to a shop I trust and with a quick inspection they determined that it was in fact, a broken flex plate. The estimated cost that was was quoted was at minimum $1640.00. I've contacted ford about the issue, which they've acknowledged, but because I'm over the milage for financial support from them, they refused to help me. This has put a massive strain on me due to the fact that the car is my only source of transportation, and beyond that, has caused me a loss financially due to its negative effect on my work.This is a serious issue that ford has publicly acknowledged, but refuses to take responsibility for. It is not only financially straining, but dangerous for anyone whose vehicle is affected by this faulty part. All I want is for the issue to be resolved, be reimbursed for the money I've had to pay out of pocket for the repair due to faulty parts that ford has already acknowledged. I ask that you take this complaint serious and hold the ford motor company accountable for the issues they have caused and acknowledged in these models.
