Ford Edge 2nd Gen 2015 to 2021 common problems, issues, defects, recalls and complaints 

Yes same I’m hoping I Have flex plate issues right now ford Ruined our vacation cost me 500.00 Airb&b rental no refund ford can suck it, dad gave 39 years to that place and father n law 30 years, making 45k econolines that only take 8k to build ford can suck it!!

Having that issue on 2015 escape. 2.5 engine.

Did you ever find out what the issue is?

They fixed the problem in 2020 with the coolant intrusion that started in 2015 with the redesign of the block to allow for more cooling ford went from a closed deck to an open deck cooling system the problem was they cut slits in between the cylinders for better cooling they wanted more performance out of the 2 liter Ecoboost which took away the strength from the cylinders and with all the heat cycles that the engine went through would cause the cylinders to crack allowing coolant to enter the cylinders causing obvious coolant consumption and also causing misfires too mainly with cylinders 2 and 3 those were the problem ones it started with a class action lawsuit a tsb and eventually a recall. Under the the recall Ford would replace the engine with an engine with the updated block ones that were built before 2020. In 2020 ford redesigned the block again they kept the open deck design but instead of slits they cross drilled small holes in between the cylinders to allow for better cooling. This design kept all the ''meat'' in between the cylinders thus completely eliminating the coolant intrusion problem. hope this helps . I'm a lube tech at a small ma and pop shop in Wisconsin we have 3 locations any way one of our mainline techs knows ford ecoboost engines very good he's the one that told me all this he's done a lot of the ones that had the coolant intrusion problem.

EGR COOLER

@CUBEBROZ I'd extend the warranty, then get them to replace the engine, I'd just sell the car after that

which motor ? I assume the 3.5/3.7L v6 ?

Yes the most reliable option

Drill a small hole in the low spot to drain the water. That's what I did and it works like a champ.

yes, same issue with my 2015 edge. condensation. worse yet, never a mechanical issue in 100.000 miles, now the car transmission jerks and like someone slams brakes on. my oil change shop drove it today and shifted perfect. He shifted the auto trans out manual. Shifted auto and it goes nuts again. only me could this happen to......ANY IDEAS b for l make my trans shop appt. next week?

Leakant cooling in cyl 3...

Was it caused by the water pump leaking in the timing chain case? V-6 3.5 L with water pump in timing chain enclosure will leak coolant into oil and destroy engine. Goofy design.

Same here I'm more for Ford, but if they don't fix there issues, I'm going Dodge or Chevy

Whats the problem?

Same. I got coolant intrusion and needs a new engine. FACTORY LATENT DEFECT and for is turning their backs on the victims. No more ford for me.

2022 don't have any problems

That because is new but wait couple years then the problem will appear.
