Coolant leaking into engine and causing it to overheat.

My check engine light came on, took it to the dealer for an inspection, The code was p0302, miss firing of Cylinder 2. The dealer did the inspection and I was told I need a new engine because the coolant is leaking into my engine and there is no way to fix it unless, i get a whole new engine. Ford told me I could keep driving the car until the check engine light flashes at me, when that happens the car is dead. I google this issue and it turns out there is an issue with the ford engine that is 2.0 liter Ecoboost, but there is no recall on the engine, which is something major and a car with only 35,000 should not need a new engine.

The check engine light went on so I took it to the Ford Dealership. They couldn't find an immediate problem so they scheduled me for an appointment the next week. I dropped the car off today and they had it all day, finally dropping the bombshell that there was a coolant leak into cylinder 2 and I need an entirely new engine for $7k or I could sell my car and buy a new one. I'm still in shock and am doing research and apparently this is a HUGE documented problem: [XXX] and [XXX] I have been saving money to take my [XXX] parents and my 13 and 9 year old sons to Ireland in July and I am beside myself because now I can't afford it. Please don't let Ford get away with this. My car is 6 years old with 70k miles on it, I shouldn't need a new engine.

Check engine light came on car which had less than 60,000 miles Ford dealer inspected vehicle and determined the ecoboost engine had a coolant leak and needed $9,000 in repairs because the coolant from the faulty piece was leaking into the cylinders

We have a 2017 ford edge that has developed a coolant intrusion in cylinder 2 which the dealer said will cost $9800.00. The vehicle only has 72,000 miles on it and I’ve seen several reports of this same problem on the NHTSA website. Has this problem had a recall or possibly a future recall? I realize there is not one on our particular vehicle and was wondering why. We are concerned for our safety as we are seniors and if the engine fails what we will do.

I own a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving the check engine warning light illuminated also would miss when started. The vehicle was taken Mac Haik Ford in Pasadena, Texas, where it was diagnosed with coolant intrusion into the cylinder, and the engine needed to be replaced. The engine would cost over $8000.00, luckily I had purchased an extended warranty & it only cost me $100.00. This is a very common problems & Ford should be made to recall for this problem, since the engine cost $8000.00 Ford won`t do it unless made too.

The problem started off with the check engine light coming on and overheating. The Edge was swallowing antifreeze at a crazy rate. Then, while driving, the engine overheat warning came on and the power was decreased to zero forcing me to pull over. There was white smoke coming out and it had a terrible smell. I took my car to Pep Boys, and they said the Edge was misfiring on 2 cylinders. Their solution was to change the ignition coils. I got the Edge back and it was no better, and the check engine light came back on again and it would not start. I returned it to Pep Boys again, and this time they said the idle control valve was bad. They replaced it, and upon picking it up the check engine light came right back on again. I again returned it to Pep Boys, and this time they said I had dirty oil (even though I had a synthetic oil change 3 weeks prior), so they flushed out the engine oil and installed new spark plugs/tune-up. I picked the Edge up later that day, and again the check engine light came on. Having had enough of Pep Boys, I finally took my Edge back to my local Ford Dealership for service. They said that the entire engine needed to be replaced due to coolant leaking into 3 cylinders. The dealer said this is a well-documented problem with the 2017 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost engine. I only wish someone pointed this engine issue out when I bought it!

Check Engine light came on and I scheduled an appointment at an independent repair shop. Before the appointment date, the engine gave an overheat warning. The system was low on coolant (filled about 3/4 of a gallon). A day before the appointment it overheated again and this time was able to fill another 1/4 gallon. Independent repair shop diagnosed and could not find any signs of exterior coolant leaks. The check engine light was due to cylinder misfiring, and the shop believes that the coolant is leaking into the cylinder and burning off as they witnessed white smoke from the tailpipe. They referenced Technical Services Bulletin #22-2229 as a known problem with the only fix as replacing the engine long block. Contacted Ford and they said that they wouldn't help me as my car is 9,000 miles over the warranty period. There is no way to tell when this issue will render the car inoperable and possibly strand my family somewhere or worse cause the system to shut down at freeway speeds.

Check engine light came on and the code was saying cylinder 3 was misfiring. After numerous tests it was determined coolant was leaking into the cylinder from a crack in the block. Doing my own research I found this is a known issue for this make and model and year of car, however FORD has refused to recall it. There is a TSB about it but nothing else. I had to pay $10,000 for the shop to put in another engine. Two days after I got it back the check engine light came on again only this time it said cylinder 2 was misfiring. Took it back to the shop that put in the engine and it turns out this engine also had a crack in the block and was leaking coolant into the cylinders. I am now without a car again and have to wait for another engine to be put in. However there is no guarantee this one will not have the same issue come up.

While driving our engine light came on, we took it to our mechanic and they determined that anti-freeze was low and possibly leaking into the engine. It is causing a misfire cylinder 1 and the time before cylinder 3. I read of similar problems with other peoples 2017 Edge. I don't want to have to replace my engine.

Coolant leaks in to the motor totally ruining the motor, overheating and leaving people on the side of the road. In some cases catching on fire. There has been lemon cases filed and class action lawsuits. Families are left without a vehicle and ruined credit due to not being able to replace motors and other parts needed out of pocket. Ford needs to be held reliable!
