I am filing this complaint regarding a serious engine defect in my 2016 Ford Edge equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. The vehicle has approximately 71,521 miles and still has its original engine. A Ford dealership inspected and diagnosed the vehicle and confirmed coolant intrusion into the engine. The dealership recommended replacing the engine long block, which represents a major engine repair at relatively low mileage. Despite the dealership's confirmed diagnosis, Ford has not offered to cover the cost of the...

Coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders caused engine failure requiring full engine replacement at approximately 60,000 miles in March 2026. Vehicle is a 2016 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost. Exact date in March 2026 is approximate.

The engine ecoboost 2.0 needs a long block assembly due to coolant intrusion. This is a documented defect known to Ford but they refuse to reimburse replacement of the engine that can run over $9,000. This is a serious safety defect that can cause catastrophic damage or injury.

Hello, I'm on permanent disability and this my only car. it started with noticing white smoke coming out of the exhaust and a sweet smell. also noticed the coolant getting low and had to keep adding more in with no visible leaks. I pulled cylinder one plug and put a bore a scope down it and found a crack in the cylinder wall. I found a web site that said there was a class action law suite miller vs. ford for this issue, it told me to call these two dealer ships Ted Russel Ford and Ray Cunningham Ford to have my...

I own a 2016 Ford Edge with the 2.0 ecoboost engine and have problems with it burning antifreeze for quite some time. The first time it happened I was getting on the interstate and the temp gage went up and the vehicle went into limp mode. I have been driving around with the coolant recovery reservoir cap loose for quite some time now to keeping it from pressurizing the cooling system. I read the article regarding this issue on MSN and decided to register a complaint. I'm a retired mechanic and have been told by a lot of other mechanics that this has been an issue for sometime. Thanks for looking into this issue!

My 2016 Ford Edge equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine developed a check engine light and began producing white smoke from the exhaust after sitting overnight. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Ford dealership for diagnosis. The Ford technician performed a self-test and found diagnostic trouble codes P0304 and P0316 stored in the PCM. The dealer pressure-tested the cooling system, removed the cylinder 4 spark plug for inspection, and confirmed coolant intrusion into cylinder 4. The dealer then searched...

We had rough idling for a couple days followed by excessive white smoke one morning upon starting the vehicle and the check engine light came on. We immediately noticed the coolant was low, so it got topped off and then we took it to the dealer. They diagnosed the engine coolant intrusion in cylinder 4. Had we not added coolant the engine could have seized and created an accident or caused a fire. We received an $8,200 estimate for installing a new long block. Ford is giving zero assistance on this because the...

I owned a 2016 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost that experienced engine failure consistent with coolant intrusion. The vehicle was subsequently voluntarily repossessed and sold at auction, so the vehicle is no longer available to me for inspection.

At approximately 110,000 miles, my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine developed a rough-start/rough-running condition. The vehicle was diagnosed with coolant entering cylinder #2. I had not noticed an obvious coolant-loss problem before the condition was diagnosed. Ford TSB 19-2346, dated December 19, 2019, addresses coolant intrusion into the cylinders on 2015-2018 Ford Edge vehicles equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. The bulletin describes possible rough running, white exhaust smoke...

Rough engine idle at startup. Coolant Level dropped. Added coolant. Engine light came on. Rough idle at startup got worse. Suspected engine gasket failure.

On September 23, 2026, while driving my 2016 Ford Edge SEL with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, the engine temperature began rising into the overheating range. The temperature fluctuated while the vehicle was moving and returned closer to normal when stopped. I checked the coolant and found it very low. Approximately 3/4 gallon of coolant was added. After driving approximately 20 miles, the temperature gauge remained normal. By September 25, the coolant reservoir was again nearly empty, indicating substantial coolant...

I'm reporting a severe, well-documented manufacturing defect involving my 2016 Ford Edge with 2.0L EcoBoost engine. The vehicle has been losing radiator coolant constantly with no external puddles or leaks visible. Upon morning cold starts, the vehicle shakes, runs extremely rough and experiences severe engine misfires due to coolant intruding into the combustion cylinders overnight. This internal coolant leak defect caused ignition coil and spark plug failure. This structural defect creates a critical safety...

I keep having to change first coils and spark plug because the coolant is slowly leaking into the cylinder.rough engine start.

Vehicle suffered internal engine failure due to the known 2.0L EcoBoost manufacturing flaw where coolant bleeds into the cylinders. Experienced severe engine misfires, rough idling, and sudden risk of stalling in traffic. Ford dealership diagnosed the vehicle as needing a complete engine block replacement at a cost of $14,000. Because no safety recall or financial assistance has been offered by Ford despite an active NHTSA evaluation on this exact defect, I have been forced to temporarily use a chemical sealant block sealer (K-Seal) to keep the vehicle operable

This vehicle has under 100,000 miles on it and the engine light came on, the code at Autozone and O'Reilly's both read P0301 for bad misfire in coil 1. I replaced all 4 sparks plugs and ignition coils and the code never cleared, i started noticing while smoke when start up and suspected coolant issues. I had a diagnostician help me investigate and forums suggested coolant intrusion from poor engine block design can happen in cylinders 2 & 3, but after scoping the block, we found coolant leakage in cylinder 1. I...
