match the performance of the original equipment lower pan on specified Ford and Lincoln vehicles Trustworthy quality - backed by a team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience Ensure fit - Input your vehicle into the garage tool and check Confirmed Fit bar at the top of the page. If there is an "i" in a blue circle, additional verification is needed. Please hover over the "i" to verify fitment notes match your vehicle. After changing the pan I experienced that during acceleration such as on ramp, merging, or passing engine would suddenly lose all power, Fords warning chime would alert me and message on dashboard- Low Engine Oil Pressure - it takes the system a while to regain power again. This could have serious consequences if you were passing or trying to merge and the engine totally shuts down. Afterwards, I reviewed the Dorman design and discovered that they didn't add a baffling to the oil sump pickup and only provided a. slot in the pickup tube. The original pan has a baffle which keeps the oil flowing into the engine. This is a serious flaw which could cause injury not to mention destruction of the engine due to oil starvation. I have contacted Dorman and they are requesting purchase information for a refund. More needs to be done before someone gets hurt.
Vehicle: 2015 Ford Edge with 2.0 Liter EcoBoost engine. Ref: DP26008 While driving, the "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" warning came on and the temperature level spiked and the check engine lights came on. Engine began to run really rough. At the time, I was travelling on the highway with my children in the car and had to pull off on the side of the road. After being stranded for 4 hours while waiting for a tow, I towed it to a Ford Dealership. Dealer confirmed there is coolant intrusion into the engine and referenced TSB 22-2229. Per dealer, vehicle needs a new engine.
I got engine coolant leaking into cylinder #2 with error p0302. Car running rough and will not accelerate. I have been told by Ford this is a known design flaw they fixed in later models but don't take responsibility. It was a safety issue for me when the car wasn't accelerating on the freeway when needed.
Engine failure due to coolant intrusion. Engine required replacement.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was restarted; however, the vehicle failed to exceed 40 MPH. The vehicle was taken to a service center, where it was diagnosed with turbo charger failure and was leaking coolant. The contact was informed that the turbo charger needed to be replaced. The approximate failure mileage was 166,000.
2.0 eco boost turbo experiencing coolant loss and missfires on cold starts. Missfire had been chased by a mechanic. Parts replaced coil pack, spark plugs, spark plug boosts. Fuel system and mass airflow cleaned, pcv system changed. Problem sill a steady problem. Missfires, no heat due to coolant loss and engine overheating.
My 2015 Ford Edge Titanium (VIN provided) suffered a catastrophic engine failure at 85,475 miles requiring a Ford long block replacement. After driving only 53,000 miles on the new corporate engine component, the vehicle began shaking violently and suffered a sudden, dangerous loss of power while driving, rendering it completely inoperable (it is sitting in my driveway unable to be driven). The vehicle threw critical fault codes P050B (Cold Start Ignition Timing) and P061B (Internal Control Module Torque...

Calculation Performance). Diagnostics indicate a terminal internal failure of the timing chain or torque converter. This vehicle has a severe, documented history of manufacturing and safety defects, including catalyst monitor sensor failure 08/23/16, fan relay failure 11/20/18, purge valve failure 02/27/21, a total loss of brakes while driving on 02/15/22 due to a rear caliper failure, a faulty throttle body on 03/06/22, and an incorrectly installed engine wiring harness by the dealership when engine was replaced. This list is not all inclusive. I have a 1.5" binder of repairs and services dating back to purchase date which are too numerous to attach. This failure directly mirrors the engine defect patterns currently being evaluated under NHTSA Defect Petition DP26008 / ODI 11754989.
Purchased car used from CarMax late 2024. Soon after 90 day Carmax warranty expired, the check engine light can on. Errors indicated engine missing on cyl #2 and that the O2 sensor was underperforming. Also, white smoke (steam) coming out of exhaust pipe. And, coolant fluid was all of a sudden low. I determined that there was a head gasket leak. As a repair was out of the question at the estimated cost of 6000, I elected to attempt to use a chemical stop leak. The #2 Oxygen sensor was replaced in order to acquire new CA tags. To date no repair has been performed. Car will over heat on highway if very hot weather and long grade is driven.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced a sudden reduction of motive power, preventing the driver from accelerating normally to maintain speed with traffic flow. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start properly during initial attempts. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with a cylinder 1 misfire due to coolant intrusion. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 98,019.
Coolant intrusion 3015 eco boost engine. White smoke came out of vehicle and the engine block is cracked due to the known problem with this engine designed my ford
The fan kept running with the vehicle turned off, the engine caught fire. The vehicle was totaled
My 2015 Ford Edge suddenly turned into a nightmare on what started as a normal drive. I noticed the temperature gauge climbing quickly, the engine started overheating, and then the check engine light came on. Almost at the same time, the engine began feeling like it was slipping - power dropped off, it hesitated and ran rough under acceleration, almost as if the transmission were slipping, but it was the engine itself struggling from poor lubrication. Turns out coolant had gotten into the oil (a pretty common...

headache with these 3.5L V6 models, often from a failing internal water pump). The mixture turned my oil into a gross, milky sludge that couldn't lubricate the engine properly anymore, leading to overheating and a slipping sensation as things started to bind up inside. I had to pull over quickly before it got even worse - definitely not something I want to go through again.
2.0L EcoBoost engine and coolant intrusion. Coolant leaked into two of the cylinder heads, resulting in engine failure and the need for a full engine replacement.Initially, the vehicle would not start. A tow company technician was able to get the vehicle started, after which I was advised to drive directly to my mechanic. I was informed that the exhaust smelled like diesel fuel and that if the engine were shut off, it was highly unlikely to restart. At that point, the check engine light illuminated. The dealership confirmed the coolant instrusion and the need for a new engine.
Coolant intrusion
Long block repair due to coolant instrusion which is a known issue with this ford edge model. Dealership is quoting me $8468.16 to replace. Per their diagnosis they found coolant intrusion in cylinder 1 combustion chamber. TSB states replace long block assembly and retest. I was driving the car and it started feeling like it was skipping. I immediately returned home as I had just left the house and parked it. When I parked the check engine light came on. My husband noticed blowback in the oil and we called a tow truck driver to tow the vehicle to the dealership.
There was a constant burning smell off and on over the last year coming from under the hood. Some days it was stronger than others. Engine compartment was hot when hood was opened. Would the engine catch fire? The coolant level would drop/leak randomly causing car to sputter or vibrate while sitting at traffic lights, etc... Traffic behind me was ready to move, but my car wasn't moving at the normal rate. It wasn't safe. Warning lights would come on, but not always. Sometimes it would throw a code and sometimes...

it wouldn't. For the first several months, we didn't know what exactly was going on with the vehicle. Unfortunately these cars are still being sold with this problem. We bought one of them from a dealership and got stuck paying for a new engine. Clearly, someone ditched this car before the engine replacement became their problem. We aren't the only ones out there. Contacted Ford dealership for remedy or help with no luck. We went to our local mechanic for help and they gave a quote for engine replacement that was reasonable. Was told engine needed to be replaced for $6,500. Since, we had recently bought the car, we went ahead with replacement but were sick about it.
The contact's mother owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact performed a minor service on the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was idling roughly, and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact replaced the spark plugs and the valve cover gasket; however, the vehicle was still idling roughly with a misfire coming from cylinder #3. The contact checked the spark plug in cylinder #3 and became aware that engine oil had fouled the plug. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming engine...

oil, and 1 quart of oil was added after an oil change. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the pistons and piston rings had damaged the cylinders, and recommended that the engine be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

towed to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact related the failure to Customer Satisfaction Program: 22N12. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was provided. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline to file a vehicle safety complaint. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Had a misfire when starting the vehicle so took it to a mechanic. There is a coolant leak in the engine block which appears to be a major problem with this year and make. Can cause engine failure and other problems.
Recently my Check Engine Light came on and I had the vehicle diagnosed with a local repair shop. The code P0301:00-EC was pulled from the vehicles scan. Upon further research this code is linked to TSA 19-2208 issued 06/27/2019. Ford knew that the engine design was flawed and only issued a TSA bulletin. This issue could cause catastrophic engine failure and fire. This issue is not a maintenance issue but a serious flaw from the manufacturer. There is also a class action lawsuit, Miller, et al. vs. Ford Motor...

Company - Case No: [[redacted]] filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. I am hoping that you will take interest in this, as there are probably many 2nd or 3rd owners of these vehicles that are unaware of the severity of the engine flaw. My vehicle has been at the Robinson Ford in Baton Rouge LA since 06/17/2025, and the cost of the new engine is 9600.00. I'm thankful that driving the vehicle from NC to LA no incidents occurred and I was able to have the issue diagnosed before there was.

My ford edge has a 2.0 ecoboost engine 2015 model year they are known for having head gasket problems It just occurred to me at 115 thousand miles ford knew for the problem early on and kept building the same engine all the way up until 2019 model year There should be a head gasket replacement recall at least, so many people with so many head gasket problems the internet is full of reports
Coolant is leaking into the engine cylinder due to head gasket failure. Mechanic confirmed the problem. Engine may fail without warning. Known issue in EcoBoost 2.0L engines from 2015 Ford Edge models.
Coolant is leaking into cylinders. This is causing a misfire. Ford calls for a long block replacement due to the original long block not being thick enough.
My Vehicles Engine had a Cylinder #2 Misfire that was a result of Coolant Intrusion. This issue seems to be a known issue and Ford did correct for post 2019 vehicles, but I had to pay over $8,000 in repairs to get a new motor because that Coolant Intrusion issue ruins motors. I don't understand why I am responsible for this egregious problem Ford never corrected for 2015-2019 Ford Edge Owners. In no way should a person be responsible for over $8,000.00 in repairs on a vehicle that failed from a Manufacturing...

defect/error/issue. This expense is now a financial burden on not only myself but my family. I had to take a personal loan out to cover the cost. Certainly unfair. I have owned this car since it was brand new. only owner and it's been wonderful until this issue has appeared. i'm begging the NHTSA to force Ford to reimburse owners of these repairs. I did not do anything by driving my vehicle to cause this issue when there is a identified flaw. Thank you
