There is a coolant leak into my engine cylinders that has completely ruined my engine. They told me they-??re surprised my engine hasn-??t caught fire. They refuse to cover it even though the issue falls under TSB 22-2229 but they say the VIN doesn-??t. There-??s many lawsuits against them because it-??s an issue with the Ford engine 2.0-liter turbo-four ecoboost engine. It-??s happen to many people without warning. I luckily caught it before my engine blew. If you look up the TSB online there are many lawsuits against Ford right now and they still refuse to put out a recall and the new engine costs $9,000. It-??s a safety concern because there-??s no warning and the engine has potential to catch fire or blow. I read online that if your car has this engine that it is only a matter of time before this happens. Ford tried to blame the issue on me and tell me that I didn-??t keep up with maintenance and they completely didn-??t tell me about the TSB for the car. I had to go back and read my report to find the TSB. They tried to trick me into buying a new engine even thought this is a faulty engine that they manufactured. I have kept up with maintenance and my car only has 56,000 miles on it and my warranty just expired. No way your engine just blows on a 56,000 mile car. I worry for the safety of others driving this car and many other Fords that have the same engine. A contact that we know at Ford is trying to help us out and cover some of the costs but they refuse to admit that it is a faulty engine that they manufactured. This and many other Fords with this engine are a liability and safety hazard to drive. Ford needs to be held accountable for their engine but instead they-??re making people like me pay out of pocket $9,000 that I can-??t afford.
Car almost overheated. Had to pull over to shoulder of an extremely busy highway. NO coolant. Had to have someone come out to refill. Since than I constantly have to refill and there is no apparent leak. Coolant is now leaking into engine. In constant fear of car overheating. Confirmed today when I took to Ford to diagnose the issue.
I have a 2017 Ford Edge and I bought it from a dealer in jacksonville, fl. I've had the car for 5 months, at the 3rd month the car started to shake, engine like came on. Game me the miss fire on cylinders #2 and #4, took it to the Ford dealer in sanford, fl. Before that, I changed the spark plugs and coil packs after a diagnostic was found to have "coolant intrusion on cylinder #2, and was told that Ford would not cover the repair on the engine, but that the entire engine had to be replaced because Ford had changed the design on the engine and gaskets. This should be a recall, not a tsb, as I have found multiple complaints and they all have contacted Ford with the same results, so Ford is well aware of this issue. The dealer told me to trade in the car asap. I need help. Thank you
Check engine came on took it to our mechanic, he changed sensor and put new spark plugs in. Then called us and said that coolant was leaking into the cylinders and we would have to replace engine. It just came off 2 months ago extended warranty has only 71,455 on truck. Ford has know about the problem and done nothing for owners. The sent out service bulletin on this problem TSB-22-2229. Feel they should replace engine due to a known issue that effect the eco boost engines
Since November I am smelling antifreeze and exhaust in the cabin of the car. It was so bad it would burn my eyes- we had to ride with windows open, in the winter in the NE. Took to Ford the found a TPI on the exhaust odors but have to go through -??steps-?? to find it. While I pay a deductible for them to find this. Ford is aware of exhaust odors but has not issued a recall yet for this.

While driving the vehicle on a major roadway in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, my vehicle suddenly stopped! It would not move forward or backwards. This was a definite safety issue and fortunately, the only cars around me were in the left and right lanes. I was in the middle lane and fortunately there was not a car directly behind me, or it would have run right into me. My vehicle went from travelling at 60 miles per hour to a complete standstill. My car is currently in Monroeville Ford right now for the same problem. This is after having the transmission replaced twice and having the engine replaced. The thing that is alarming is that was a safety issue and I, along with others could have been killed. It was only by the grace of God that other vehicles weren't behind me when my vehicle suddenly stopped.
On 08/17/22 I took my car into Bill Collins because there was a loss of coolant, and my SUV was acting up. It was jerking randomly. At the time the SUV was noted to have 63,860 miles. Dealership fixed recalls on vehicle and did a pressure test and said there was a water pump leak. Replaced water pump and gasket. Check engine light remained on and when asked dealership about it they said in order to get the check engine light off it would have to go to another part of the dealership, and we would be charged another $99 diagnostic fee. On 11/21/22 SUV was taken back to Bill Collins because it was still doing the same thing. This time you could also hear water moving/draining from behind the dash and the check engine light was still on. Dealership fixed another recall showing on vehicle and said that the water pump had air pocket. Sent home but sputtering engine was not fixed. 12/08/22 contacted dealership again to let them know that nothing they have done over the past several months has worked and SUV is still acting up. Was told they would have a higher up mechanic look at vehicle to see what the issue was. Dealership contacted us two days later stating that vehicle needs a new motor. Current mileage 67,883. Dealership stated they verified coolant intrusion into cylinder and that it is necessary to replace the long block. Exact verbiage from dealership employee. (Coolant intrusion into cylinder #2. Verified defective engine block. Coolant leaking internally.) My SUV has been in and out of Bill Collins Ford for the past 4 months and no one could figure out the problem. Yet, when we spoke to Bill Collins about the new motor, we were told at that time that this is a known issue. Yet, no one mentioned it for 4 months and I've been driving my vehicle in this condition? I work for Ford and have supported Ford for the past 7 years. I am wanting to understand how Ford is going to make this right.

We took our vehicle in due to a check engine light and rough start and idle.

Own a 2017 Ford Edge 2.0L Ecoboost engine with 68,000 miles. Check engine light came on so took it to a local mechanic who replaced the spark plugs, coils, evap sensors, and cam shaft position sensor. The code was stating a misfire in the #2 cylinder. Less than a week later the light came back on and got an engine overheating warning. Added coolant and then had to add more coolant a few days later with no evidence of a coolant leak. When starting the vehicle or accelerate from a stop would notice a liquid swooshing sound. Also when starting the vehicle it would tremble and run ruff for a minute or two. There would be a lot of white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe with a bad oder that would eventually dissipate after diving a few miles. Finally drove the car to work and when I went to leave afterwards the vehicle would not start. Would crank but would never turn over. Had the car towed to a Ford dealer that diagnosed coolant leaking into the number 2 cylinder. They told me the only fix was to replace the engine. They gave me Fords number and told me to call and complain since I only had 68,000 miles on it. They gave me a copy of Fords response which states, -??As a subsequent with no recent new vehicle or paid repair history, the customer generates a 0% share recommendation, meaning they do not meet the CLV requirements for the FLP assistance. Ford Motor Company is unable provide financial assistance in this case-??. Called Ford and was told that there was nothing they could do since I was 8,000 miles over warranty and refused to offer any discounts or assistance. Asked to speak to the warranty department that made the decision not to cover and was informed there was no extension for that department so I can not speak to anyone that made the decision not to cover any of the costs. Was quoted from the dealer the cost for the repairs will be $7,710.81 plus taxes. This is a major safety issue as the defect can cause the engine to overheat and start on fire.
