Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle would run rough and falter upon cold start. The "check engine" light activated. The code indicated a misfire in cylinder #2 "permanent". The local Ford Dealership diagnosed the issue and informed me that coolant was getting into the cylinder and could eventually cause the engine to fail and pose a safety issue. The vehicle probably had 74,000 or less when I first noticed the symptoms. Initially, I replaced all the ignition coils and spark plugs, but it did not resolve the issue. At time of engine replacement, the vehicle had 76,195 miles on the odometer.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My 2018 Ford edge is needing an engine replacement. This is related to a technical service bulletin that Ford motor company released in December of 2019. TSB, 19-2346 and TSB22-2229. I am still covered under an extended warranty and powertrain warranty but they warranty companies are telling me because I had one oil change laps by 1,900 miles that it is not covered under warranty. Regardless, if it is covered under warranty or not, this should be something that Ford motor company pays for. Considering it is a known issue, there are open class action, lawsuits, and open forms about these recalls that haven't yet been called recalls.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Engine light came on and took 2018 Edge to mechanic. Diagnostic indicated misfiring of piston 2 and 3. Started by changing the spark plugs. Light came back on within a few days. Took car to Ford dealer and they indicated that coolant was leaking into cylinder 2 and 3 and that it could result in engine failure if not repaired including risk of a firer. Engine failure on the wrong roadway (i.e. busy urban interstate highway) could result in catastrophic engine failure and risk injury and loss of life. Given the volume of similar complaints for coolant leakage into cylinders, the probability of engine failure and its consequences should be enough to require a mandatory recall.

Last July my check engine light came on giving us a P0302 code. We had the spark plugs changed. It went away for a week then came back on with the same code. We had the coil packs changed. Same thing. Went away for a week then returned. Now dealership is saying they want $9,000+ to replace time engine for an issue that has been known to Ford since 2010 with this engine.with less than 70,000 miles on it, white smoke is pouring out of my car, the engine is overheating and coolant is leaking. I’m told that this can cause a fire or worse, a wreck. I have children that I transport daily in this vehicle seeing how it’s our only means of transportation and we dont have the money to replace the engine much less buy a replacement vehicle. Ford needs to be held accountable for selling these faulty cars, putting families in danger and fix these issues NOW!!! Why wait for someone to die before they actually take a stand and fix their issue when they know thousands of customers are having the exact same issues. Such a disappointment!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Last July my check engine light came on giving us a P0302 code. We had the spark plugs changed. It went away for a week then came back on with the same code. We had the coil packs changed. Same thing. Went away for a week then returned. Now dealership is saying they want $9,000+ to replace time engine for an issue that has been known to Ford since 2010 with this engine.with less than 70,000 miles on it, white smoke is pouring out of my car, the engine is overheating and coolant is leaking. I’m told that this can cause a fire or worse, a wreck. I have children that I transport daily in this vehicle seeing how it’s our only means of transportation and we dont have the money to replace the engine much less buy a replacement vehicle. Ford needs to be held accountable for selling these faulty cars, putting families in danger and fix these issues NOW!!! Why wait for someone to die before they actually take a stand and fix their issue when they know thousands of customers are having the exact same issues. Such a disappointment!
