Bad catalyst converter. Needs to be replaced.Vehicle is not even 10 years old
Coolant leaked into the engine due to failed parts/seals on the car and therefore it now needs a brand new engine. Ford is aware of this issue and even issued a TSB. According to a mechanic as well as the Ford Dealership Service, it needs a complete new engine.

I'm having a issues with the decklift gate adjar with light on while travel. Also it was not closed properly shut tight. Even i open the gate door it won't open or closed. I know it simar with recall driver or passenger adjar door light on in the past. I'm not paying for the adjar decklid parts. Suppose it to be defects parts.
Our 2017 Ford Edge recently started a rattle noise when we start the engine. The noise goes away when we start driving and comes back again when we stop in a signal or take turns…mechanic told us they think it's a broken flexplate and they gave me an estimate of $1500 to fix that issue…[After] reading a few other forum articles regarding this issue what I found out it is a very common issue for Ford, which is almost always a manufacturing fault.”
When got into a fender bender, originally it was just the bumper. After a wheel, there was a noise coming from the car when idling. Once taken in for repair, repair company stated it was the AC fan that was the problem which was not done by the crash but elsewhere. After taking the place to three other shops, first being the repair company, the second being Ford Motors, which both told me it was okay to drive my car, the last shop confirmed that it was the flywheel and not the AC fan that was broke, and I shouldn't be driving my car. After my car was fixed, out of pocket, I get sent the recall information letter in June for Ford Motors to fix this problem in February.
Within the past few weeks I recall hearing an explosive sound while driving. I pulled over to assess the situation but could not see any obvious cause of the loud noise. I seldom open the moon roof but when I did I made the connection between the explosive sound and the shattered glass moon roof. My research shows that there have been many reported incidents of shattering moon roofs and I would like to know if the manufacturer is liable for the damages.
I bought this vehicle from Family Ford in Enfield CT and they did not provide me with a car fax when I asked 3 times for it. I wanted to see if I could trade it in at a Volkswagen dealership and they gave the car fax, and it was in an accident. A very serious one where they hit the driver's side left rear. The car had to be towed with severe damage. To this day they still have not given the car fax 9/25/2022 to me.

Glass roof cracks... They appear to be stress fractures. Both on the front moon roof panel and the rear panoramic glass panel. Pictures attached. The care is garaged. The cracks on the rear panoramic occurred 1st. The cracks on the front moonroof panel occurred several months afterwards.

UNDERBODY SHIELD FELL OFF CAR MADE NOISE-NEEDED TO FIX DEALER REPLACED SHEILD & SAID MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD SAME PROBLEM NO WARNING OR SYMPTOMS
automatic door latches and inside lights and flashers switch on and off randomly. It does not matter if the car is being driven or sitting overnight in the driveway. This may cause the battery to drain and require jumping off. It also allows for theft if the doors are unlocked. The problem was checked out by my local ford dealership. A representative went for a test drive and said he only heard the door latches click one time so it was not bad enough to worry about. I was told by the ford service rep. that it could be a low voltage problem so I replaced the car battery and the electronic key batteries but the problem continues.
Bought a used 2017 Ford Edge in June of 2021 75K miles. Approx. three weeks later the check engine light came on. Diagnostic code was misfire in the number 2 cylinder. Spark plugs and coil packs were replaced. Check engine light remained on. Several days later check engine light went off. Brought the car in for a recall fix on brake hose and spoke with Ford technician that I was getting ready to travel to TN and wanted to make sure that it was safe to do so. Assured that it would be fine. During the course of our trip to TN the check engine light came on and off several times. On our way home noticed the heat wasn't working very well. Before we left the hotel in the morning checked coolant level and it was low. Filled it up and continued on our way home. Since then every three days coolant level is low. Starting up in the morning puff of white smoke comes out the pipe. Out of Fords warranty and a loan on a car I have had three months with a major problem. Did some research only to find this is a common problem that could potentially cause a fire. Dealer says I need a new engine...and I have to pay for it.
Outside temp 51*F, car auto start enabled and used. Rear glass exploded after a 7 min warm up. Rear defrost was on. Rear wiper used once to clear morning dew.
ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THIS VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER & ACTS LIKE IT'S RUNNING OUT OF GAS. IT "STUDDERS" FOR 15-20 SECONDS & THEN BEGINS TO RUN FINE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN HAS JUST BEEN COMPLETED. IT'S A FRIGHTENING FEELING THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED & YOU HAVE FAST MOVING TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU ON A BUSY CITY STREET. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT BEING DRIVEN NOW BECAUSE WE ARE IN FEAR OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT.
In February we had a knocking noise when driving 2017 Ford edge. We took into dealership and had a cracked flywheel. Currently, our 2017 edge is back in the shop with another crackes flywheel. This vehicle was taken to a Ford dealership 1 week after we purchased to replace the whole engine for 3 months. Then we are dealing with 2 cracked flywheels and have had the brake lines fail twice, which is also a recall. This vehicle is a lemon!
My APIM has failed. It Will cost $900 to replace it at the Ford Dealership where I purchased it used 1 1/2 years ago. Why isn't there a recall on this for 2017 Edge? Thanks
WHILE DRIVING, CODE SAYS "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" AND SPUTTERING/POWER LOSS ON ROAD. TURNED CAR OFF AND STARTED AGAIN, BARELY MADE IT 1/2 MILE HOME. WAITED 2 DAYS BUT CODE SHOWED IMMEDIATELY WHEN STARTING CAR. ENGINE REVS AND SPUTTERS, BARELY ENOUGH POWER TO PULL OUT OF GARAGE. MANUAL TRANSMISSION SO I CANNOT TURN OFF HILL START ASSIST.
MY SUNROOF RANDOMLY CRACKED WHILE I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. NOTHING HIT IT SO I WAS CURIOUS IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM.. I LOOKED AROUND ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT IS IN FACT A COMMON ISSUE WITH SOME PEOPLE'S SUNROOFS EVEN EXPLODING!!! I CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD THE EXACT SAME THING THAT I FOUND EVERYONE ELSE SAYING ONLINE.. THAT FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN MORE THAN ONCE... I AM NOW TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY NEW (TO ME) VEHICLE THAT I JUST BOUGHT 2 MONTHS AGO.. MY GLASS INSURANCE IS GIVING ME ISSUES COVERING THIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT A WINDSHIELD AND I DON'T HAVE $2200 LAYING AROUND TO FIX IT AT THE MOMENT.. HOW LONG UNTIL IT STARTS LEAKING AND CAUSING OTHER ISSUES..???
NOTICED CRACK IN PANORAMIC SUNROOF WHEN PARKED IN HOME GARAGE; NO POINT OF IMPACT DETECTED
EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING VEHICLE CABIN IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGINE START, REVERSING VEHICLE, OR SIMPLY IDLING. THERE ALREADY EXISTS A TSB, 18-2057 FOR EXHAUST ODOR IN VEHICLE FOR THIS YEAR FORD EDGE. THIS VEHICLE IS IN PERFECT CONDITIONS AND HAS NO ACCIDENT HISTORY. FORD LINCOLN OF FRANKLIN (TN) WILL REQUIRE NEARLY $1000 TO PERFORM TSB 18-2057, WHICH IS AT BEST A GUESSING GAME AS TO WHERE THE FUMES ENTER VEHICLE! AT THIS POINT, I'M SURE FORD MOTOR COMPANY KNOWS WHERE THE FLAW IS, JUST LIKE THEY DENY EXHAUST FUMES IN THE FORD EXPLORER.
THE REAR GLASS PANEL IN THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF HAS SPIDER CRACKS THROUGHOUT. THE CAR IS NORMALLY PARKED IN A COVERED AREA. I HAD THE SUNROOF OPEN TWO WEEKS AGO AND THERE WERE NO CRACKS AT THAT TIME. THE CRACKS HAPPENED WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY ANY IMPACT. I BELIEVE IT IS AN INHERENT MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO SAID THE REPAIR WILL CAUSE AT LEAST $1300 AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR IS A 2017 FORD EDGE WITH 40K MILES AND HAS A 100K MILE FORD PREMIUM CARE WARRANTY.
