CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 Ford Edge has a trend of the engine dying while driving, which is typically considered a safety issue.

Owners report the stalling while driving problem is caused by the throttle body needing replacement. The problem typically occurs at low mileage & so the issue has been covered under warranty -- although by now, the 2015 Edge is generally past the full warranty period.

The car's ENTIRE ENGINE needed to be replaced due to coolant intrusion in cylinder three - at a cost of $7,000 - through no fault of mine. The car had had absolutely no problems up until this time, and the prescribed regular maintenance was preformed religiously. When "Googling" Ford Edge coolant intrusion, I found that numerous Ford owners with 4-cylinder turbo engines have had to have their entire engines replaced due to this apparently well-know problem. Some with less than 50k miles. I was also told by the dealership service department, that the engines have not been redesigned, so that this new $7k engine, may well develop the same problem! I am forced to pay the $7,000 repair bill, otherwise it would have no trade-in or sale value, and would just be a very large lawn ornament. This is an insanely expensive repair bill for owners, for a design flaw that apparently Ford knows well about. Please help! Thank you.

Engine check has been on for the last month. Prior to that the light was on with an error code P1450 stating I need to replace the Evan vap canister, which was done yet the light after only a day came back on. Now the engine check light is stating P0456 and anytime I go to fill up the car turns off and needs to be jump started.

Vehicle is at 72,511 miles and suddenly started to misfire in idle. The vehicle is displaying coolant intrusion and I have video proof of coolant dripping into the 4th cylinder while running a pressure test on the coolant system and using a borescope. There is no maintenance that could have been done to prevent this issue as it is a clear design flaw. Based on TSB: 19-2208 the only repair is an engine block replacement. This car is now at risk to overheat, fail on a busy free way, and needs a repair that is too expensive for a customer to take on due to Ford-??s poor design. Someone should not have to be seriously injured or be killed in order for this recall to be issued. People deserve better and this is very unethical to not recall the engine. Please require Ford to recall this vehicle-??s engine.

The engine runs rough condition, Check Engine Light will illuminate and white exhaust smoke coming out from the tail pipe. It exibits a high consumption of coolant. Possible cause is due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder which triggers a misfire. Driving it into the free is very dangerous if you car will stall in the middle and could cause an accident.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that coolant was leaking into cylinder #1, causing damage to the spark plugs. The mechanic replaced the spark plugs; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the engine misfired due to coolant leaking into cylinder #2, the engine block, and the engine oil, causing damage to the spark plugs again. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that there was sludge in the engine oil and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Currently my 2015 Ford Edge 2.0 Eco boost has a blown motor. This is due to an issue that Ford currently knows about. However ford has only done a recall on the 1.5 Eco boost. June 9th 2022 Ford put out to dealerships a Technical Service Bulletin stating there is a known issue with the motor. Coolent can leak into the motors causes them to blow, misfire, and potentially catch on fire. I feel that this is a huge safety issue as well as cost to the consumers. I have attached below the TSB from ford stating they know of the issue and the current recall in the 1.5 eco boost motors.

Water pump failed. This has been confirmed by an independent service center. Found this issues as the car leaked entire reseviour of coolant. Fortunately this was found while the car was parked. However the issue makes the car immediate undriveable to prevent further damage and has to be towed. Were it not found while parked, the engine would have completely shut down in motion. Approximately a $2,500 repair as it currenlty sits.

My car all of a sudden started making a very loud clanging noise on start up. I took to Ford Dealer in Devine. Service said it sounded like a belt, but no one could actually look at it since they were backed up for 3 weeks. I spoke to [XXX] there. My husband took two different mechanics and they both said fly wheel. We told them to fix. When mechanic got in there to change he said that the flywheel was cracked in 4 places. It has almost ready to completely fall apart. He said that was not normal for a flywheel to do that. After doing some reach we found out that this happened to many Ford Edges (different years) and the short block is the problem. This could have ended very badly if flywheel would have went to pieces while driving. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I had my engine light come on several months ago. Driving down the highway, my car went from 55 to 20 mph and that-??s all the faster I could get it to accelerate.Took to a mechanic and hooked it up to his reader and showed it was an engine misfire. Oil and fluids have been changed on time every year. The car has less than 60,000 miles on it. Lost heat and here there was very low coolant. Replenished the coolant and the next day was gone. Took back to mechanic and there was no external leak. Upon further inspections, it was determined that the coolant is leaking into the engine and only solution is a complete engine replacement. This is a huge safety issue. I am so thankful that I was driving on the highway with no traffic that day or it could have been a lot worse. Please make this issue into an immediate recall for the safety of all us drivers with these vehicles.

I bought this vehicle and within 2 hours engine light came on. It was diagnosed cylinder 1 misfire. After spending $700 later on spark plugs, engine coil pack, oil change, rear differential, and engine oil flush, it was diagnosed with a coolant leak into the engine. Within 3 weeks of buying the vehicle i now have to replace the whole engine. This is costly- and shouldn-??t be happening. Ford should be replacing this free of cost with as many issues and people have this problem rather than just submitting a service bulletin.
