2010 Ford Edge Engine Problems

Your car developed a serious problem where coolant leaked into the engine oil, which two independent mechanics confirmed requires complete engine replacement. This typically happens due to internal engine seal or gasket failure. The repair will likely involve removing and replacing the entire engine or performing a complete engine overhaul.

Your engine started overheating while driving at 40 mph, and you discovered coolant was leaking from the vehicle even though no warning light appeared on your dashboard. A mechanic diagnosed the problem as a leaking water pump. The repair would likely involve replacing the water pump and checking the cooling system for any other damage.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Edge. The contact stated while operating the vehicle, there was a burning odor inside the vehicle. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the coolant reservoir was empty, the engine oil dip stick read full, and the oil was discolored. The vehicle was taken to the local service center where the mechanic discovered water in the engine oil. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the water pump was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 170,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 65-70 MPH on the interstate, the vehicle inadvertently stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle failed to restart and was pushed to the side of the roadway and remained on the side of the roadway. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 242,000.

I was driving home in my 2010 Ford Edge that has150,000 miles on it at the speed of 55 mph when it stopped accelerating and then just shut down. It did not overheat, there were no alarms, alerts or lights that went off on the car. After coasting to the side of the road I got out and looked under the hood of my car I noticed that the antifreeze was leaking. My husband was able to add anti freeze to the vehicle and we drove home and parked it until we could find a mechanic that could figure out what happened. I called mechanics in the area and explained what happened. The local mechanics we spoke to stated that it sounded like the water pump went and that they were not comfortable doing the repair due to the amount of labor required. I found a mechanic willing to work on my truck and had my Ford Edge towed to his shop. After looking it over I was told the water pump leaked into the engine which the dealership said was catastrophic and that I needed a whole new engine and water pump. The technician said it may have been leaking into the engine for several days without warning. A water pump should be a simple repair, however the way that it happened caused engine failure and requires an entire engine replacement. My truck no longer functions or operates in any capacity. I believe this engine failure was the direct result of the location of the water pump which was "internally" in the engine. This is a poor vehicle design and a safety concern for Ford. Total cost for this repair is $8,300. At this time the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacture, police or insurance representatives.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, the engine temperature gauge indicated that the engine was overheating. The vehicle was later driven to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the engine was damaged due to a faulty internal water pump which had caused coolant to mix with the engine oil. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 117,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, an abnormal noise was heard coming from the engine compartment. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that he pulled over on the side of the roadway, opened the hood, and noticed that the antifreeze reservoir container was empty. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was diagnosed as a defective water pump that needed replacement. The contact stated that the repair was not completed because the dealer could not guarantee that the engine was not damaged. The vehicle was not repaired but was towed back to the residence. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. A case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 148,000.

We take good care of our cars and we do all required maintenance and oil changes but we are now facing a water pump failure that caused my engine to fail without any warring. On Wednesday March 9th I was passing a Semi Truck on a County Road and I heard a pop then lost all power and smoke came from under my hood. I had a guarding angel with me that day because there was another Semi truck approaching me in the passing lane and both Semi trucks slowed way down so that I was able to pull over. I saw my life flash before my eyes. This repair is going to cost us $4,700.00 or more if they should find any additional damage to my engine once they get all the parts to fix the car. How can a modern day car cost $4,700.00 to fix a water pump that caused the engine failure and overheat without A SINGLE WARNING!!! It seems like maybe Ford should look into recommending or insist that these internal WATER pumps be serviced/replaced at a reasonable mileage point maybe 80,000 or 100,000 miles to prevent a catastrophic loss. Water pumps will never out last an engine so getting them replaced early would help protect the engine and other damage that could happen. Just 8 days before my engine failed my car was in a Ford dealership garage for Oil Change, a cooling system flushing, belts and spark plugs replaced, not sure why at that time there was not something said about replacing the water pump? I know that The Ford Company is well aware of this issue so why would this information not be passed along to all dealership so that the service/maintenance garage personal know what to do to prevent this from happening. I would like to help prevent this issue from happening to anyone else. Next time someone might die, I almost did because of the engine failure on a simple water pump .

8.16.21was driving home, no lights, no warnings, no smoke nothing no indication of any kind and I lost all power to operate the vehicle. I was unable to start the car and up to this point car was running fine, had car towed to local mechanic after inspecting the car mechanic found water pump blew up and pully ruptured filling my entire engine with coolant and now I am out of a car due to the engine being destroyed. After extensive reviewing it appears this is a known issue with the 2007-2010 Ford Edges and Ford has yet to step up to the plate and address this known issue. Look on Facebook under Ford Motor Company and see how many other owners are having this issue. How can you run a business knowing this happens and then not being able to back it up by fixing the issue. I could have had another 4-5 years with my car and now I have to have burden and cost of finding a new car due to negligence on Fords part. I truly enjoyed my Ford Edge however in the future I will no longer drive any type of Ford car or Lincoln knowing this is how you treat known issues. I'm just glad it was not -30degrees out and this happened. Shame on Ford. I will also spread the word about this issue and to anyone else thinking of buying a Ford. I have the estimate for a new engine let me know when the check will be in the mail to have my car repaired!!!

WE WERE DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE WAS A LOUD POP. IT STARTED OVERHEATING AND IT WAS ALL WE COULD DO TO GET IT BACK TO OUR HOUSE. WE WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD. IT WAS RUNNING FINR TILL THE LOUD POP.

THE FORD 3,5L DURATEC ENGINE WATER PUMP CAUSED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE AND IS CURRENTLY BREAKING DOWN MY MOTOR. AS COOLANT & ENGINE OIL DON'T MIX, SO I HAVE TO REPLACE IT. WILL COST ME MORE THAN THE SUV ITSELF, SO GOING TO JUNK IT AND BEWARE ANYBODY WITH ANY FORD EDGE WITH THAT 3.5L DURATEC ENGINE WITH THE INTERNAL WATER PUMP. IT WILL FAIL AND BY TIME YOU NOTICE IT, IT'S TOO LATE. CAUSE MY SUV TO STALL & SHUT OFF NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE THE SENSOR ARE OFF BECAUSE OF THE COOLANT LEAKING INSIDE THE MOTOR.

VECHICLE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. EVERYTHING LOSES POWER INCLUDING POWER STEERING. ON OCTOBER 16,2019 IT OCCUR D WHILE DRIVING ON PARKWAY WITH MY GRANDSON IN THE CAR. WE JUST AVOIDED A MAJOR CATASTROPHE. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART CAR AND CAREFULLY DRIVE HOME BUT NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE. THE ENGINE REPAIR WRENCH WAS LITE AND MECHANIC FEELS IT MAY BE THROTTLE BODY ISSUES . THANK YOU

I AM CHECKING TO SEE IF YOU ARE AWARE OF ANY ENGINE COIL REPLACEMENTS ISSUES. I SEE LOTS OF ISSUES ON THEM ON THE INTERNET. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SPARK PLUGS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED TOO. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MILES AN HOUR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. LARAWAY RD NEW LENOX IL 60451 DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN MY 2010 FORD EDGE AND TURNING ONTO MY STREET THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN, BARELY MAKE THE CORNER CLIPPING THE OPPOSITE CURB SLIGHTLY, LOOK DOWN AND THE TEMPERATURE GAGE IS BURIED IN HOT. NO WARNING LIGHTS JUST INSTANT SHUTDOWN. OPEN THE HOOD AND SEE WATER DRIPPING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE MOTOR BUT DON'T SEE A WATER PUMP, FIND OUT LATER IT IS INTERNAL AND CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, VEHICLE NEEDS NEW MOTOR FOR $7,950.00 -

WHILE DRIVING LATE AT NIGHT THE TEMP GAUGE WENT ON TO HOT/ CAR STALLED OUT ON A MAIN STREET I LET IT COOLED OFF AND DROVE HOME. HAD CAR TOWED TO FORD AUTO NATION NEXT DAY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WATER PUMP AND ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, COST WOULD BE $7,259.00. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN SEVENTY SIX THOUSAND MILES ON IT.

I HAVE A 2010 FORD EDGE WITH 38,153 MILES. IN THE LAST ONW MONTH I HAVE HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED (UNDER WARRANTY) AND NOW I JUST HAD THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASY. REPLACED FOR $691.03. I SMELLED GASOLINE AND THE ENGINE HESITATED SO, I TOOK IT INTO AUTONATION IN DELRAY, FL. FOR REPAIR. THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND I SHOULD KEEP MY RECEIPT FOR A RECALL IN THE FUTURE. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE CAR DID NOT EXPLODE WITH THE FUEL FUMES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OF THIS CONDITION. *JS

2010 EDGE LOSES POWER WITHOUT WARNING. IT JUST WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO PARK AND PUT IT BACK ON TRACK. WHEN I AM STOPPED WAITING FOR THE CHANGE OF LIGHT I HAVE TO KEEP THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK AND THE BRAKE PEDAL SO THAT IT DOES NOT TURN OFF.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, I GOT OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND A COUPLE OF STOP LIGHTS LATER MY CAR SPUTTERED AND SHUT DOWN. I LOOKED AT THE TEMP GAUGE AND SAW I WAS OVERHEATED. I RECEIVED NO WARNING OR ALERTS ON MY DASHBOARD. I LET IT COOL FOR FEW MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT. MY RADIATOR OVERFLOW WAS EMPTY. I LET IT COOL SOME MORE AND PUT IN 1 1/2 GALLONS OF COOLANT. I STARTED THE ENGINE, IT STARTED VERY ROUGH. AFTER A MINUTE OF RUNNING, COOLANT STARTED POURING OUT OF THE FRONT OF MY ENGINE. I ASSUME IT WAS FROM THE RADIATOR. THE ENGINE SHUT ITSELF DOWN AGAIN AND I LEFT THE CAR OVERNIGHT. I CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. HE TURNED THE KEY AND THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. IT WAS JUST CLICK. HE SAID, "THAT'S NOT GOOD." HE ATTACHED HIS DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT AND A BATTERY JUMPER. SAME RESULT. HE SAID HE DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO LOOK AT MY ENGINE TO KNOW IT WAS BLOWN. THE ERROR MESSAGES ON HIS EQUIPMENT CONFIRMED IT. HE PUT WATER IN MY RADIATOR AND PUT IT UNDER PRESSURE. WATER AGAIN STARTED POURING OUT. HE PULLED OUT THE OIL PAN DRAIN PLUG AND WHAT LOOKED LIKE A VANILLA MILKSHAKE OOZED OUT. HE INSPECTED MY WATER PUMP AND CONFIRMED THAT IT HAD FAILED. IT DRAINED MY RADIATOR AND MY CAR OVERHEATED AND BLEW THE HEAD IN A MATTER OF MINUTES, AGAIN WITH NO INDICATORS OF ANY KIND THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I HAVE TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. I STILL OWE MONEY ON IT SO IT'S NOT WORTH IT TO TRASH THE CAR. MY CAR HAS ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT. UPON DOING RESEARCH I FOUND A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD FOR THIS WATER PUMP PROBLEM PROBLEM. I'M TRYING TO GET IN ON IT. APPARENTLY THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CASES EXACTLY LIKE MINE AND FORD WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT. HTTPS://WWW.PRNEWSWIRE.COM/NEWS-RELEASES/KESSLER-TOPAZ-MELTZER--CHECK-LLP-ANNOUNCES-A-CONSUMER-CLASS-ACTION-FILED-AGAINST-FORD-FOR-DEFECTIVE-WATER-PUMPS-300697193.HTML

THE WATER PUMP IS LOCATED INSIDE THE ENGINE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING, IT CIRCULATED ANTI-FREEZE THROUGH THE ENGINE DISTROYING IT. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN THE SPAN OF 5 MINUTES WITH NO SYMPTOMS, OTHER THAN A LOSS OF ALL ENGINE POWER AT HIWAY SPEED. NO WARNING OR ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. FRANKLY OTHER THAN THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS THE ENGINE HAD FAILED. THERE WAS A TERRIBLE NOISE AS I FOUND MY WAY TO A SAFE SPOT TO STOP THE CAR AND IT WAS ONLY DURING THIS TIME THAT THE TEMPRATURE IN THE ENGINE STARTED TO RISE. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE MOST BASIC KIND OF IRRESPONSIBILITY WHERE AS FORD HAS DESIGNED A VEHICLE WITH A KNOW DEFECT AND FAILED TO NOTIFY ITS UNSUSPECTING OWNERS. IT IS ALSO MY BELIEF THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPOSIBLE FOR PAY 100% OF ANY AND ALL REPAIRS TO MAKE AN OWNER WHOLE. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO PICTURES, OTHER THAN AN ENGINE THAT LOOKS FULLY INTACT, WITH AN OIL DIPSTICK THAT IS A MILKY DESERT SAND COLOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE CONTACT EXITED THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE WAS SMOKING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GANLEY FORD WEST (16100 LORAIN AVE, CLEVELAND, OH 44111, (216) 941-9800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE ENGINE AND A NEW ENGINE NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

WATER PUMP LEAKED IT'S ATTACHED TO MOTOR SO WATER IN OIL IT'S COSTLY TO REPAIR. NO LIGHT COMES ON TO WORN YOU. NOTHING. NOW ENGINE MAYBE WRECKED. STUPID DESIGN ON FORD'S PART. NO RECALLS

WHEN THE AC IS RUNNING, THE CAR WILL STALL OUT. IT HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGH WAY AND SURBURBAN STREETS. WHEN IDLE AND IGNITION IS TURNED OFF THEN ON AGAIN, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. AFTER APPROX. 35-55 MINUTES THE CAR WILL THEN START. FINALLY, IT IS HAPPENING AFTER LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. I WAS PARKED IN A LOT FOR SEVERAL HOURS, WHEN I WENT TO START IT THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE WHERE IT DID START AGAIN 1.5 HOURS LATER. I FEAR FOR MY CHILDREN'S LIVES.

MY EDGE HAS ABOUT 137,000 MILES ON IT AND THE WATER PUMP FAILED WHEN WE WERE ALMOST 200 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. I RECEIVED NO WARNING LIGHTS FOR LOW COOLANT, OR OVERHEATING ENGINE, JUST NOTICED IT ON THE TEMP GUAGE. NORMALLY A WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT IS NOT A BIG DEAL AND CAN BE DONE PRETTY QUICKLY IN A FEW HOURS AND FOR UNDER $500 FOR PARTS AND LABOR, BUT BECAUSE OF THIS PARTICULAR DESIGN IN THESE FORDS THE ENGINE HAS TO BE BASICALLY TAKEN APART AND IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 13 HOURS OF LABOR TO COMPLETE THE JOB. THE PARTS FOR THIS JOB ARE LESS THAN $200 BUT BECAUSE OF THE LABOR AND THE EXTENSIVENESS THIS REPAIR IT IS GOING TO COST ME BETWEEN $1200 - $1800 TO COMPLETE AND THAT IS NOT EVEN AT THE DEALER. NOT ONLY DO I NEED TO HAVE THE WATER PUMP REPLACED BUT BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE IT DUMPS COOLANT INTO THE OIL AND OIL INTO THE COOLANT SYSTEM WHICH MEANS I WILL NEED TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AND THE COOLANT SYSTEM FLUSHED AS WELL. ALL OF THESE THINGS START TO ADD UP. I HAVE EVEN READ WHERE THIS FAILURE CAN CAUSE SO MUCH DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE THE ENTIRE THING NEEDS REPLACED. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS DESIGN FLAW BUT HAS DECIDED NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND OTHERS USING THE SAME ENGINE. I DON'T HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION TO UPLOAD YET AS MY CAR IS STILL AT THE SHOP AND I AM NOT EXPECTING TO GET IT BACK FOR A WEEK. I AM JUST PRAYING THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER (OROVILLE FORD, 1350 ORO DAM BLVD W, OROVILLE, CA 95965, (530) 533-3313) DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP SEAL FAILED AND CAUSED INTERNAL INTRUSION OF WATER AND OIL, WHICH CONTAMINATED THE ENGINE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER (WALDORF FORD IN WALDORF, MD) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DAMAGED DUE TO A FAULTY WATER PUMP, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE OIL TO BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH ANTIFREEZE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WITH NO WARNING THE WATER PUMP STOP WORKING AND FLOODED INTO THE ENGINE AND DESTROYED THE ENGINE. THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE PLACED AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $9K.

I WAS AT A STOPPED LIGHT WHEN THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOCKED UP AND BEGAN SHAKING. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. I WASN'T ABLE TO USE THE GAS OR BRAKES SO I TURNED THE CAR BACK OFF IMMEDIATELY AGAIN. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WATER PUMP BURST AND ALL OF THE COOLANT RAN INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING IT TO FAIL. I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR FIVE YEARS AND MAINTENANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN UP TO DATE VIA FORD DEALERSHIPS. DURING THESE VARIOUS MAINTENANCE CHECKS, FORD HAS NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF ANY POSSIBLE ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE AND NOW MY ENGINE HAS FAILED AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANY OTHER ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY A LIGHT THAT LOOKS LIKE A WRENCH COMES ON, THE VEHICLE STARTS RUNNING ROUGH AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, IT'S HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS PROBLEM HAS REPEATED ITSELF 4 TIMES ONLY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND REMOVING THE KEY, I CAN RE-START THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE. ONCE IT HAPPENED AGAIN MAYBE 2 MINUTES LATER. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY PART. HE ALSO TOLD ME FORD HAS HAD A RECALL ON THIS SPECIFIC PART ON EDGE'S.

MY CAR STARTED LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT IT STARTED TO CUT OFF. I TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS FOR SECOND OPINION. THEY BOTH TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS GONE. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT, AND IT'S A 2010 HOW CAN THAT BE? I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE ENGINE RECALL FOR THIS CAR. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ENGINE PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE THIS IS NOT RIGHT. I KNOW THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON A FUEL LEAK FOR THIS MODEL CAR. I'VE ALSO RESEARCHED SOMETHINGS ABOUT ENGINE RECALLS AND FOUND THAT THERE IS, BUT I WANT TO KNOW FOR SURE WHEN I TAKE THE CAR TO THE FORD REPAIR SHOP. PLEASE HELP ME. I AM THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.

SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE AT 65,000 MILES WHEN DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR. THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED SAID THERE WAS A LOSS OF ANTIFREEZE AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS STRANDED ON THE AIRPORT ROAD WITH NO FEEDER AND HAD TO CALL 911. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS TO GO ON OR ANY WARNING. WHEN READING OTHER POST ON INTERNET THE CAR BEHAVED JUST AS THOSE WHO HAD CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A WATER PUMP FAILURE. THIS WAS THE FORD DURATEC ENGINE WHERE THE WATER PUMP IS DRIVEN WITH THE TIMING CHAIN AND IF IT FAILS THE WATER ENTERS THE OIL SYSTEM AND DESTROYS THE ENGINE.

OUR 2010 FORD EDGE IN THE PAST FEW YEARS HAS STALLED AFTER MAKING A SLOW TURN ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. DURING THE FIRST 3 OCCURANCES THE WE COULD THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. THE LAST OCCURANCE WAS LAST FRIDAY AFTER COMING OUT OF A SLOW TURN THE CAR LOST ALL FUNCTIONALITY AND I WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED. WHEN IT GOT TO THE AUTO SHOP IT STARTED AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM OR FIND A PROBLEM WITH THEIR COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE UNEXPLAINED ENGINE FAILURE WAS NOT FIXED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AN IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. UPON RESTART, THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 16,500.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 FORD EDGE THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY 2011. WITHIN THREE DAYS I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE SUDDENLY, AND THE RPM WOULD JUMP FROM 1500 TO 3500, THEN BACK AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND THEY STATED I COULD TAKE IT TO ANY FORD SERVICE DEPT. I DID JUST THAT AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO RETRIEVE MY NEWLY PURCHASED FORD EDGE, THERE WAS A FOUR INCH GASH IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOOD. THEY DENIED THAT THE GASH HAPPENED AT THEIR SERVICE DEPT. WHEN I PULLED AWAY FROM THE SERVICE DEPT. THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME SURGING FORWARD AND THE RPM'S JUMPED AGAIN. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. ASAP! THEY HAD ME RETURN IMMEDIATELY, AND I WENT THROUGH HELL TO GET A LOANER CAR WHILE MY VEHICLE SAT IN THE SERVICE DEPT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ON MONDAY OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK, THE SERVICE DEPT MGR CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. WHEN I PICKED UP THE EDGE THAT EVENING, I HAD THE SERVICEMAN RIDE WITH ME. MY EDGE DID IT AGAIN, AND I DEMONSTRATED HOW IT ALSO DID IT WHILE SET ON CRUISE. THIS WAS NOT A SLIP OF MY FOOT AS ASSUMED BY THE SERVICE MGR. THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE, BUT ONLY STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WHEN I'M SUBJECTED TO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO A SURGING VEHICLE. I WAS ALMOST HIT WHILE MERGING AS MY EDGE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE, THEN BOOM IT SHOT FORWARD WHERE I NEEDED TO APPLY MY BRAKES OR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I STILL EXPERIENCE THIS SURGING AT LEAST THREE TO FOUR TIMES A WEEK. I'M WAITING FOR MY ACCIDENT!!!!! *KB

SUDDEN, UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF MY 2010 FORD EDGE VEHICLE: I TURNED INTO MY HOUSE DRIVEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 MILES/HOUR SPEED. AS SOON AS I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY AND UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. I SWERVED TO AVOID MY GARAGE, BUT ENDED UP DAMAGING BADLY ONE GARAGE DOOR AND THE OUTER CORNER OF MY GARAGE WALL. THE CAR THEN CRASHED AGAINST A TREE IN MY LAWN AND CAME TO A STOP. THERE WAS BAD DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR. I WAS NOT HURT. THERE WAS NO INJURY TO ANYONE ELSE. I CALLED IN THE POLICE. WHEN THE OFFICER ASKED ME WHAT HAPPENED, I TOLD HIM THAT I MIGHT HAVE ACCELERATED THE CAR IN ERROR, BUT I WAS NOT SURE IF THERE WAS AN ELECTRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. IN THE MONTH PRECEDING THE ACCIDENT, ON 2 OR 3 OCCASIONS, THE RPM GAUGE IN THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY JUMP FROM APPROXIMATELY 1500 RPM TO APPROXIMATELY 3500 RPM FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON, THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT JERK IN THE CAR BUT NO ACCELERATION OF THE CAR. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, THE RPM WILL GO BACK DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 1500 RPM BY ITSELF. I DID NOT REMEMBER THESE INCIDENTS WHEN I SPOKE TO THE INVESTIGATING POLICE OFFICER. THESE 2 TO 3 EPISODES IN THE MONTH PRECEDING THE ACCIDENT MAKES ME SUSPECT THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT DUE TO HUMAN ERROR, BUT DUE TO AN ELECTRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS EVALUATED THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND MY HOME AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF SETTLING THE CLAIMS. THE CAR IS IN THE COLLISION SHOP RECOMMENDED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND IS CONSIDERED REPAIRABLE. HOWEVER, I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR AGAIN UNTIL A PROBLEM IN THE CAR IS RULED OUT. I E-MAILED FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER RELATIONS. THEY PROMISED TO RESPOND WITHIN 3 BUSINESS DAYS, BUT HAVE NOT DONE SO. HENCE, I AM CONTACTING NHTSA. *TR

MY 2010 FORD EDGE ALSO HAD THE IDLE STALL PROBLEM. AT 4500 MILES THE PROBLEM STARTED. TOOK MY VEHICLE IN AND THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE STALL FROM COMPUTER. THERE IS A RECALL FROM THE MFG FOR THE IDLE CONTROLLER. HOWEVER, THERE IS A BACKORDER FOR THE PART UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER. MY DEALER LOCATED A PART FROM ANOTHER DEALER AND WILL BE REPLACING IT TOMORROW IF THE PART ARRIVES. I ALSO REFUSED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICES FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY. *TR

2010 FORD EDGE STALLS AT IDLE IN PARK, STALLS WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, STALLS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP. SEVEN OCCURRENCE WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS. IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO DEALER. IT STALLED WHILE THEY WERE WRITING-UP THE SERVICE ORDER. LEFT IT OVERNIGHT. NEXT DAY "NO TROUBLE FOUND... COULD NOT RECREATE PROBLEM." WAITING FOR RESPONSE FROM DEALER. *TR

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND 2010 FORD EDGE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD NO WARNING, ALL GAUGES WERE OFF, NO POWER, AND NO HAZARD LIGHTS. FORD HAS HAD THE CAR FOR 10 DAYS TRYING TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE PUT 200 MILES ON IT AND BROUGHT IN A FORD ENGINEER (SPECIALIST) TO TRY AND LOCATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, CANNOT FIGURE WHAT CAUSED IT AND HAVE NOT REPLACED NOR FIXED ANY PARTS ON THE CAR. THEY WANT TO RELEASE THE CAR BACK TO ME TO WAIT AND SEE IF AND WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS CAR HAS A KNOWN SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT WITH POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. *TR

I AM HAVING WHAT MAY BE A VERY SERIOUS HEALTH/HAZARD ISSUE WITH MY 2008 FORD EDGE. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE OIL IS LEAKING FROM THE TRANSMISSION/PTU SEAL ON TO THE MUFFLER/LEADPIPE,BURNING ,AND SENDING TOXIC FUMES THROUGH THE FRESH AIR SYSTEM. I HAD TO PULL OVER TODAY TO AIR THE VEHICLE OUT, IN WHICH IT HAS LEFT ME SICK FROM THE BURNING FUMES. WHEN SITTING OIL IS LEAKING ONTO THE GROUND. I HAVE CONTACTED MY FORD DEALER, IN WHICH THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR WITH FORD UPDATED SEALS. THE ISSUE THAT I AM DEALING WITH IS WHAT I BELIEVE IS A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK TO THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS OF THIS VEHICLE. I ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 EDGE LIMITED FOR A GIFT & THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED THE STRONG ODOR OF ANTIFREEZE COMING FROM THE HEATING SYSTEM. MY WIFE ALSO NOTICED THE SAME ODOR WHEN SHE DROVE IT CHRISTMAS DAY. SHE HAS TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED FROM & THE LOCAL DEALER & BOTH SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, THEN COMES & GOES THROUGH OUT THE DAY. BEING A MECHANIC FOR OVER 35 YEARS TELLS ME THE HEATER CORE AND OR RELATED COMPONENTS HAVE A VERY SMALL COOLANT LEAK. WE HAVE TO CRACK A WINDOW OR OPEN THE SUNROOF WHEN THE HEAT IS ON TO LET THE FUMES ESCAPE OR YOU CAN STAND TO BE IN THE CAR. *TR
