ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

My vehicle experienced what many of the Ford vehicles have had occur in this year range regarding the EcoBoost engine. My 2018 Ford Edge, maintained by the dealership since purchase, equipped with the EcoBoost 2.0 engine had coolant leak into the number one cylinder. Once this happens, there is no repair besides to replace the engine. Ford knows there an issue, even the service person told me this happens a lot with this model, but there is no recall at this time. They want $7,800 to change the engine block. Ford changed the design by scoring channels between the cylinders in an ill conceived attempt to increase cooling. This bad design allows coolant to degrade head gasket leading to coolant intrusion into cylinders. Inevitably, this leads to engine failure. Apparently, Ford redesigned the Ecoboost 2.0 engine around 2020 to eliminate this issue. Ford has not recalled these engines and apparently refuses to fix the issue if the vehicle is out of warranty. The Ecoboost 2.0 engines with this bad design WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL. This issue is the direct result of Ford’s bad design making these engines unmerchantable. I know this has been reported many times to the NFTSA and should be a major recall for this engine.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Owner of a 2018 Ford Edge SEL 2.0 L Eco Boost, approx. 40,000 miles. Started experiencing a dip in RMP’s while idling. Check engine light came on. Vehicle was registering a “misfire”. Uncertain if it was spark plugs, coil pack and/or head gasket the computer was reset and vehicle was given back. Engine light appears AGAIN. This time, local repair shop opened the cylinders and discovered a small amount of coolant and/or oil. Cylinders were cleaned and vehicle was given back. AGAIN, engine light appeared 3rd time and made an appointment with Scarsdale Ford Service. At FORD Service, spoke to “Ralph.” Initially, was informed it might just need sparks plugs. (KNOWING THERE’s A FLAWED ENGINE DESIGN THAT ALLOWS COOLANT TO ENTER THE ENGINE BLOCK ERODING EVERYTHING. So much so, that FORD has issued a “technical service bulletin” BUT refuses to recall the engine). Later, was told the engine needs to be replaced and it would cost $10k for repair. Spoke to Ford Customer Service who only filed a “request” for “up to $5k in repairs” which is not guaranteed. Awaiting judgement from that. AND they placed a request for “buy back” from all the forms which I am reading. I can only expect to be offered up to $3k. This is unacceptable. No one buys a car and expects it to last less than 50k miles. Also, knowing the ongoing issues with specifically the 2018 2.0 L Eco Boost, why wasn’t i informed of this sooner? Why was I not given options? Instead, it’s too late now. My engine is dead and sitting at Ford Service and no one at FORD seems to be helping. I can offer documentation of all of this and available by phone or email for any follow up questions.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

While driving the vehicle transmission shifts are radically intermittently on up shift when traveling highway speeds no problem when decreasing speed at highway speed and increasing speed sometimes the vehicle lurches or jumps then when coming to a stop when you're downshifting it seems to be third gear through first gear the transmission violently jerks as it's downshifting to the point where you can almost lose control. It seems a lot like a safety recall on the 2017 edge dealing with the torque converter
