We currently have a 2017 Ford Edge with an Ecoboost 2.0 engine at our local Ford dealership. It began running poorly and the check engine light came on. Shortly after, it worsened with a whistling noise and more obvious cylinder misfiring. The codes for the engine light were P0303 and P0316, and was diagnosed with coolant in the cylinder. Per the service department at the dealership, this falls under Technical Service Bulletin 19-2346, with the only repair being complete engine replacement. At the time of this submission, it has been at the dealership for 12 weeks. We currently have no ETA on backordered parts to complete the repair, and will owe $4,300 for the repair when completed (originally over $11,000 quote). I would also like to reference Ford's Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP) #21N12. This CSP offers free repair to many Ecoboost 1.5L engines that have had the identical diagnosis. The associated TSB for this is 22-2134, which aside from different sized engines, is identical to the TSB associated with our vehicle.
I have a 2017 Ford Edge with 37,383 miles on it. The check engine light came on one day as I was driving however the car was running fine. I thought it was a fault light as I-??ve never had an issue with this veh. I took it in to the dealership and was told that it needed a new engine. Luckily it was covered under warranty HOWEVER it took 3 months to get my veh. back-??.3 weeks later the same thing happened on my 2018 Ford Escape with only 24,000 miles on it!
Morning of 7/30/22 "check engine" light came on. Drove vehicle home (38 miles), brought into dealership 8/4/22. They informed me after running diagnostics that I needed a new engine at 67,223 miles. I brought vehicle back on 8/29/22 to have the engine replaced (it had been on backorder). Finally completed on 9/9/22 at the cost of $6,838.78.

Check engine light came, I took it to get a diagnostic. The diagnostic read a cylinder 1 misfire a day later it began to run hot, I checked the coolant which was almost empty but I did not see anything leaking. White smoke began to come out of the tailpipe and engine began knocking, When I tried to start the car the next day to take it into get checked out the vehicle would not start, I had to get the vehicle towed and when the mechanic looked at it I was told the engine needed to be replaced.
At 84,000 miles, the vehicle displayed the Service Engine Soon light, as well as white smoke from both exhausts. The mechanic diagnosed a misfire in two cylinders. All four spark plugs were replaced. The engine light and error code for cylinder 2 persisted. The ignition coil and fuel injector for cylinder 2 were replaced. The owner researched online, found the NHTSA complaints about this engine issue and the associated technical service bulletins, and brought the vehicle to the dealership. It was determined that this was a mechanical failure not uncommon with the 2.0L Ecoboost in this vehicle, and a replacement of the longblock was required. Despite awareness and acknowledgement of the malfunctions in the Ecoboost, Ford declined any discounts or assistance to the owner for replacement of this defunct product, costing the owner $7,252.10 in parts, labor, and tax to replace the longblock.

The engine light came on my 2017 2.0L Ford Edge, I took it to the dealership and after a short diagnosis it was determined that my vehicle's engine needed to be replaced due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. The vehicle mileage was 77850 and I was just under two months out of the 5 year 60K warranty. Ford Motor Company has been aware of this problem, they generated and sent out to the dealerships a Technical Service Bulletin #22-2229. I as the consumer was never made aware of this possible issue by Ford Motor Company. Ford Motor Company has refused to take full monetary responsibility for this defect,
I started experiencing a rough idle and engine misfire. The check engine codes indicated cylinder 3 misfire. Was advised several times to replace spark plugs and coils but after no success had further diagnostics that showed crack in cylinder 3 allowing coolant to leak into the engine. Required new engine at 96k miles.

Check engine light came on repeatedly, and final determination was the head gasket was leaking coolant into cylinders. Result, engine need to be replaced. Vehicle is a 2017 Ford Edge, 54M miles, but less than one month out of 5 year drivetrain warranty. Research shows that Ford has been aware of the problem for at least 3 years (NHTSA ID 10162071 and Ford TSB 19-2208 and TSB 19-2346). A head gasket should last for 200M miles. I found a website where at least 60 other owners are experiencing this problem, and for the most part, Ford is hiding behind the "expired warranty" excuse. Correction for this problem approaches $9000. My car now sits at a Ford dealer awaiting a replacement engine. The dealer is unable to give me any idea as to when I will get my car back. Ford has really dropped the ball on this, and I hope you can step in and get their attention.

I have a 2017 Ford Edge that at 64,930 miles (4,930 miles over warranty, but within warranty period by 2 months) the Check Engine Light came on in April, 2022 and computer diagnostic testing showed misfiring in a cylinder. All coils & plugs were replaced at a cost of over $700. Within days light reappeared, with engine running rough and again testing showed another misfire in a single cylinder. That coil was again replaced but check engine light again came on. At this point all coils were replaced with Motorcraft coils. Again light came on with more rough engine running. This went on for multiple times until repair shop suggested I call Ford. Over the phone the Ford Service Advisor diagnosed the issue as coolant contamination into the cylinders (evidently they've seen it before). I brought vehicle to a Ford Service Center and their diagnostic testing confirmed what the service advisor said and that I would need to replace engine at a cost of over $8000. This for an engine that wasn't even 5 years old and had less than 65,000 miles and had been properly maintained. An on-line check of carcomplaints.com shows this is not an isolated problem with the 2.0l Eco-Boost engine. I believe the rough running & coolant into the cylinders can lead to the engine stalling and engine overheating, both creating safety issues on the road. I know Ford has issued at least 7 Technician Service Bulletins pertaining to this issue since 2018, the most recent dated 6/10/22, all recommending long block engine replacement. That tells me that multiple engines, most with 60,000 to 70,00 miles with the same issue is a manufacturers defect and a recall should be in order. As I write this the Ford Service Center is waiting for a replacement engine to be delivered for installation into my vehicle During the MLB All-Star game, Ford ran multiple commercials stressing Ford Pride. A 5 year old engine with 64,930 miles needing to be replaced is nothing to be proud of.
Engine would rattle on startup. Check engine code came on dash. It revealed cylinder 2 misfire. Local mechanic replaced coil pack on 2 and all spark plugs on 5-30-22. Problem persisted and took it to Ford dealership on 7-29-22. Tech indicated gasket was warped on engine head and coolant was leaking into cylinder 2 which he showed me from a photograph from scoping cylinder 2. He informed my coolant was low. He quoted me a new engine as he stated that was the only solution by Ford. He added coolant to the fill line. He indicated it would only get worse over time and overheat. Coolant system was pressure tested and would not hold. I am concerned for my safety driving it as the coolant needs checked regularly or it may overheat which could pose a fire hazard.
Noticed the coolant was leaking and was not able to find visually. Took the vehicle to Ford Dealership on 7/19/22 and they said we need to replace the whole engine as Coolant is leaking into the Engine. This was a manufacture defect. There is already a recall for the same issue on the 1.5 engines, this is a 2.0 engine. The engine light had come on and stated the engine needed coolant. I was getting an oil change and they topped it off. The next day, the coolant was gone. I continued to refill and it kept disappearing, thus the reason for taking the vehicle to Ford. This was over a span of 4 days prior 7/15/2022. We asked for financial assistance to replace the engine and Ford refused. They said to pay the $7000 and if a recall was announced, we would get a refund. We don't have $7000 just sitting around, I am still paying on the vehicle with only 80,000 miles on it. We call on 7/29/2022 and they (ford) tells us to bring the vehicle back to the dealership on Monday and they will discuss help fixing the engine. We do this Monday 8/1/2022 and the supervisor we waited 2 hours on hold for, laughed throughout the conversation and even used the phrase "I know what its like to be poor" - completely unprofessional. Ford should back their product and fix any issues on engine because of faulty production.
Engine coolant getting into cylinders with symptoms of coolant loss, white exhaust smoke, rough running engine, and engine light on. This leads to rapid loss of coolant. I need to refill the coolant at the end of each day of driving, creating a potential further engine damage and risk of fire. A Ford dealership inspected the vehicle and determined these facts to be the case. The repair they deemed necessary is a new long block -- on my vehicle of only 45,000 miles -- at a price of $8,500.
