Defect Description:
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Potential Consequences:
The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated while accelerating; however, after driving for a while, the vehicle operated as designed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, who diagnosed the vehicle with coolant intrusion in cylinder #2, causing engine failure. The mechanic informed the contact of a Technical Service Bulletin with NHTSA ID Number: 10214126 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not covered under recall. The dealer referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and confirmed the VIN was not included in NHTSA ID Number: 10214126 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Found trouble code PO304 in the computers history indicates that the misfire is not coming from the spark plug or ignition coil. Checked the fuel injector and no problem was found. Removed cylinder#4=spark plug and found a small amount of evidence that coolant is entering the cylinder. There is a TSB for engine blocks cracking and causing the problem. This was found by the auto service I use. Called dealership and was told this does happen. A new engine would have to installed if my engine light comes back on. They would have put in the same type of engine! REALLY? Wouldn’t this happen again with a new engine? I do not know how to download the service slip

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
On July 20,2025, at about 4:30pm to 5:30pm, I drove less than two blocks from home when the engine light and the overterature light came on suddenly. Simultaneously, the vehicle began to shake. I was about two to three blocks from an Auto Zone parts supply store. I drove there slowly. Once at the location, I asked for assistance in determining what caused the issue with my car. The representative used a device that indicated that check engine failed, and emission ready status was no. I was advised to purchase coolant for my model vehicle. Once purchased, the representative tried to fill the reservoir. However, the reservoir indicated that it was full after using less than half of what was in the gallon bottle. We waited a while to determine if the level would decrease. While at the store, the level remained constant at the full level. He recommended that I start the engine. The car no longer shook and the indicators did not come back on until I drove about a mile away. I was near another Auto Zone store, nearly a mile from my house. The representative there was able to pour the remainder of the coolant into the reservoir. When asked, I was told that I should contact a mechanic regarding the issue. I asked if it would be safe to drive the car home to make arrangements to have the car towed, as where we (myself and two young grandchildren) were in a location that did not seem safe to wait very long. I drove slowly to my house, using emergency blinkers. I was able to park the car in the driveway until I could arrange to have the car towed to a recommended repair shop. I have an extended warranty from an Auto warranty company. The car was towed to AAMCO less than 10 miles away. So far, all they have been able to tell me is that the oil is clean, but the level is very low. I do not know the cause, as I have the oil changed, and other lubricant and liquids levels checked at least every 7.5K miles. I also check my indicators on a regular basis, whenever I drive.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I own a 2018 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. My engine recently failed and was diagnosed by a Ford dealership as suffering from coolant intrusion into the cylinders. This has resulted in engine misfires, overheating, coolant loss, and eventually a non-functional engine. This appears to be a widespread and well-documented issue across multiple Ford models and years, due to a design flaw in the engine block or head gasket area that allows coolant to enter the combustion chamber. I was not notified of any recall or service bulletin, yet this issue has caused major financial and safety concerns. There is currently a class-action lawsuit related to this defect, and Ford has not issued any official remedy despite knowing of the issue for years. I am submitting this report in hopes that NHTSA will investigate this defect and urge Ford to issue a recall or remedy before more consumers suffer unexpected engine failure.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Computer error P0304 - misfiring in cylinder 4. Diagnosed with a coolant leak into the cylinder. Potential Safety Issues: Loss of Power: A misfire can cause sudden power loss, particularly during acceleration or at high speeds, increasing the risk of accidents, especially in traffic or on highways. Engine Stalling: If the misfire worsens, the engine may stall, leaving you unable to control the vehicle, which is dangerous in busy areas or intersections. Overheating Risk: Coolant intrusion into cylinder 4 (as noted in TSB 22-2229) can lead to overheating if the cooling system is compromised, potentially causing engine failure or fire hazards. Catalytic Converter Damage: Persistent misfires can overheat and damage the catalytic converter, potentially leading to a fire risk under the vehicle. Beyond this, it is my 17 year old daughter driving this car and she could be stranded some place unsafe due to not starting or in the middle of traffic while driving. It has been inspected by a mechanic to confirm the leak. Ford's issuing of a TSB on this issue (TSB 22-2229) - calls for a new engine. Ford knows they have made faulty engines in these cars and refuses to help cover the cost of replacement.

Computer error P0304 - misfiring in cylinder 4. Diagnosed with a coolant leak into the cylinder. Potential Safety Issues: Loss of Power: A misfire can cause sudden power loss, particularly during acceleration or at high speeds, increasing the risk of accidents, especially in traffic or on highways. Engine Stalling: If the misfire worsens, the engine may stall, leaving you unable to control the vehicle, which is dangerous in busy areas or intersections. Overheating Risk: Coolant intrusion into cylinder 4 (as noted in TSB 22-2229) can lead to overheating if the cooling system is compromised, potentially causing engine failure or fire hazards. Catalytic Converter Damage: Persistent misfires can overheat and damage the catalytic converter, potentially leading to a fire risk under the vehicle. Beyond this, it is my 17 year old daughter driving this car and she could be stranded some place unsafe due to not starting or in the middle of traffic while driving. It has been inspected by a mechanic to confirm the leak. Ford's issuing of a TSB on this issue (TSB 22-2229) - calls for a new engine. Ford knows they have made faulty engines in these cars and refuses to help cover the cost of replacement.

Hello, I have had this Ford edge for about two years. My first year it started giving me problems so I took it in and they told me that I needed a whole new engine which is shocking because I just got it, as I saved for money they told me it should last a little bit longer, so I held it off for a little bit and recently it started to jump every time I was at a stoplight or a stop sign and sometimes just completely shut off, so I took it in again and they told me that I need a whole new engine and that there are no recalls on my car so I did some research and I’ve noticed that a lot of people have problems with the exact same thing that I do on their 2018 Ford edge. I’m really just hoping that there is something that can be done.
