My Edge has 41,000 miles on it and the engine light came on. I took it to my local dealership and they found that it has coolent intrusion and therefore I need a new engine. The dealership told me there is a TSB# 22-2133 (2.0L EcoBooser - Coolant in Cylinders) for this issue but Ford never issued a recall. I did my own research to find out that there is a class action lawsuit in the Eastern District Court for this exact issue. I contacted Ford Corporate and they said they know nothing about this issue but would help expedite the repairs of my vehicle. The TSB I looked up is directly from Ford so I am a little preterbed they aren't taking responsibility for this. Engines and rental cars are not cheap.

Faulty engine design leads to head gasket failure, engine misfire and stall. Engine stall can cause loss of vehicle motive and braking by loss of vacuum assisted braking. Dealer just completed service on this vehicle and reported the failure after completing repair on another defective part, the flexplate assembly. After completing repairs advised it likely has coolant intrusion issue. Did not inform customer about the TSB showing FORD determined the block is defective and should be replaced at customer cost. Ford has known about this issue since about 2011. These engines need to be recalled. Repair data available to mechanics and on popular video sites show that Fords updated block removes two water paths that interfere with head gasket seating on 2015 - 2019 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost engines. This is a known manufacturer defect that puts owners and occupants in uneeded danger due to Ford's refusal to recall and rectify these engines. There are multiple reports of these engines failing for this issue with as few as 30,000 miles. This engine is also installed in multiple other Ford and Lincoln vehicles including focus, fusion, taurus, Escape, edge, mkz, mkc, and nautilus.

I'm filing a complaint regarding my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, which required two engine replacements due to a defect causing coolant intrusion into the cylinders.The engine failed due to coolant leaking into the cylinders, a problem diagnosed and confirmed by Ford technicians. Both engines are no longer in the vehicle, but documentation is available upon request. My safety and the safety of others were put at significant risk on two separate occasions. The first engine failed at 67,000 miles, leading to the engine blowing while I was driving on the highway. This nearly caused an accident as the vehicle suddenly lost power. The second engine, which was a replacement from a 2018 Ford Edge with the same 2.0L EcoBoost engine, also failed in a similar manner at 87,000 miles, again while I was driving on the highway. On this occasion, I was left stranded on the side of the highway in the desert for 7 hours in over 100-degree weather, further endangering my safety. The problem was diagnosed and confirmed by a Ford dealership on both occasions. The first failure was diagnosed as coolant leaking into cylinder 3, causing the vehicle to misfire and eventually leading to the engine blowing. The second engine was inspected by a Ford repair technician during a recall service, where the same coolant leak issue was diagnosed. Less than two months after this diagnosis, the second engine also blew while I was driving. Ford service technicians inspected and confirmed the problem both times. Repair and diagnostic reports are available. The first indication of the problem with the original engine was a check engine light so I took the vehicle to Ford. The dealership diagnosed the issue as coolant leaking into cylinder 3, causing misfires. Despite this diagnosis, the engine failed before I could arrange for the recommended long block replacement. The second engine began exhibiting the same symptoms-?"misfiring and coolant loss-?"shortly before it also failed.

Check engine came on for cylinder 1 misfire. Replaced all spark plugs and ignition coils. Check engine came on again for same problem.

Total engine failure due to coolant intrusion

- Gansevoort, NY, USA

No warning lights before or after the problem occurred. Driving about 25mph with traffic heard loud noise like something broke then sounded like plastic was dragging, the engine was a lot louder. I got it off traffic and pulled over. Nothing under the car. No warning or engine lights came on. Dealer told me it was a fly wheel on 6/26 and covered under warranty. Said it would take 2 weeks to repair (July 5). I kept calling for status on my car with no call back from the service manager. I finally had to complain (although I was afraid to since they had my car), and they called on 7/12 said it's not the fly wheel like they thought, they said I need a whole new transmission. They don't know what cause it but maybe something broke inside the transmission caused damage to it. $7600 cost to replace it. Not covered under warranty. We contacted another mechanic who says it's probably the torque something (arm?) that broke. I paid what to me is a lot of money for the car. It also needed a completely new engine at 44k miles which was covered under warranty. For the amount of money I paid for the car it's crazy I have to shell out $7600 more.

Ford recalled cars with same problem with the 2.0 engine but did not recall on edge which has the problem of coolent sepping into cylinders, engine light came

- Secane, PA, USA

I have a 2016 Ford EdgeTitanium with a 2.0 EcoBoost with 63,000 miles on it. In May of 2024 my check engine light came on. Verified coolant intrusion into cylinder 1 causing engine failure. Mileage on the car does not warrant an engine replacement. When Ford was contacted, both the original dealership and manufacturer, they took no fault in the matter. I was told there was a possibility of an engine fire if left as it was. I had to pay $9469.44 for a new engine! Many forums show this same issue happening with the same year/make/model. Ford should be held accountable for a known defect in the block that was not corrected through a recall.
