Coolant leak into the cylinders which has caused misfires & overheating. Vehicle no longer starts and has a complete engine failure. not even 75,000 miles have been put on the car.
At approximately 7:00 a.m. on 10/22/2026 I was driving my 2017 Ford Edge when suddenly there was a loud bang towards the rear of my car. Immediately after, I could hear my rear window shattering, cracking. There were no other cars near me at the time. As I continued to drive, the glass continued to crack and shatter. Glass started to break completely free from my window, and fall inside my rear hatch, as well as on the outside of the car on the road.
I have barely had my car now for 2 years and have had nothing but problems with it since the day I bought it it spends more time in the shop then any other vehicle I've owned! I've had to relaxed the coils 8 times now in the past year 5 of them in the past 5 months! The coolant continues to leak into the fuel system calling it an COOLANT INTRUSION which is causing havoc on my cold my engine my catalic converter to get extremely hot and causing my coils to burn and melt leaving me stranded alone on dark freeways...

costing me hundreds now thousands from having to have it towed to time in the shop parts and labour not to mention countless hours and days missed off work unable to get there or being late already lost one job and on the verge of losing another! The lady 2 coils that I had to replace weren't lasting more than a week to a few days! I know there are countless complaints about this issue and major problem! WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN ANYTHING DONE ABOUT IT YET WHY ISN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BECAUSE THEIR STATUS ON FIRE AND BLOWS UP?? I'm ready to start Law suit this is not right nor ok! We trust these manufacturers to build safe reliable vehicles and if not then they need to replace or repair them! This is the only vehicle I have and I'm disabled and can't just go out and buy a new car let alone continue to pay for repairs I shouldn't ever have to pay for over and over again! Please help?!

stated that brakes service and an oil change were performed prior to the failure. The mechanic informed the contact that the failure was associated with the brake booster. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, and it was confirmed that there was no recall associated with the failure. The manufacturer was contacted by phone, but no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.
Vehicle is loosing power. New battery installed, and that battery is quickly draining as well. Recall issues not rectified as of 8/3/26
vehicle losing acceleration when a small incline is needed after a stop. Engine will rev up but it will not move. Putting vehicle in to park and turning it off and back on again does a small reset and starts moving again. Over the last few months this event has happened multiple times until roughly around 2 months ago it will not move at all. check engine light is on and code saying "Transmission not in park" when you put it in Reverse and neutral and Drive and Sport. called dealership and they don't pick up the vehicle and want to charge me 180.00 just to Diagnose it.
The rear camera is having a glitch/ dark mode and is unable to fully inspect for any safety concerns despite myself checking my surroundings. It poses a hazard because it can cause myself to damage the car when I'm trying to reverse the car to park and I can accidentally hit an animal, a structure, or a child who is on my blind spot since the camera is unable to be shown clearly. Although there were multiple attempts to restart the car, using a Microsoft rag and updated the car it has failed to be resolved.
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.
The back up camera is inoperable at times. Rarely works on hot days or anytime the rear of the EDGE is facing the Sun. It hasn't worked properly for years. I'm not sure of the exact date or mileage it first happened, but it definitely started acting up around 2019.
Back up camera is inverted. Parking guidelines do not work with inverted image. Almost hit a child due to inverted image

The "fix" for the rear camera has not resolved the issue. My rear camera worked for a short time after the fix was downloaded, but then stopped working. I don't know what to do to fix it.
On June 20th 2026 while driving my 2023 Ford Edge SEL AWD at approximately 35mph on an active hwy (93 AZ NB in Wickenburg AZ) the vehicle experienced a sudden catastrophic loss of motive power and came to a sudden stop in a jerking motion. The vehicle completely disabled itself without warning in live traffic, presenting an immediate and severe safety hazard to myself and surrounding motorists. I was forced to stay in an immobile position impeding the flow of traffic and could not coast safely out of the way of...

hazardous traffic conditions and subsequently was almost hit by a semi-truck and another POV. The vehicle was subsequently towed out of the hwy with law enforcement present for safety and the local repair shop provided a quick analysis of transmission failure. About 2 weeks later, the vehicle was towed by AAA to another mechanic and subsequently an authorized Ford Dealership where through diagnostic evaluation and repair. The official scan log revealed a critical internal failure of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) identified by Diagnostic Trouble Code P0600 (serial communication link failure). This total electronic communication breakdown immediately triggered an un-commanded cascade of secondary transmission performance faults, specifically P0751 (shift solenoid A Stuck off) and P2700, P2701, P2704, P27B2, P27B4 (transmission friction element application time/performance faults). The failure terminated in codes P073D (unable to engage neutral), P07E4 (unable to engage gear 7), and P07E6 (unable to engage gear 8) which locked the powertrain. Crucially, this sudden module collapse and cascading powertrain destruction occurred exactly 81 days following a mandated Factory Recall regarding the PCM was performed by an authorized FORD dealership on my vehicle. The engineering evidence suggests that a corrupted software flash or module disruption during the recall process caused the master PCM to issue erratic hydraulic line pressure commands, starving the trans
In addition, this car has a coolant issue
