Your car produced white smoke from the exhaust and started idling roughly. The dealership determined that coolant has entered the engine, requiring a complete engine replacement at an estimated cost of $15,000. This problem is reportedly a known defect affecting 2019 Ford Edge 2.0 EcoBoost engines. The repair will involve removing and replacing the entire engine block.

When you accelerated to pass another vehicle, your engine started shaking and shuttering as if it had too much fuel but wasn't getting enough fuel at the same time. The engine then shut down completely while you were driving in traffic, and the car wouldn't restart. You were unable to shift out of park, leaving your car stranded in the left lane during rush hour and creating a safety hazard.

Your engine is overheating because it's losing coolant, which your mechanic indicates is a known issue with 2019 Ford Edges. This coolant leak is serious enough that it may require a full engine replacement. The fix will likely involve locating and sealing the coolant leak, or in severe cases, replacing the engine entirely.

Your 2019 Ford Edge's engine suddenly stalled and shut down while backing into the driveway without any warning, and restarted briefly before failing again. Two mechanics confirmed a blown head gasket caused by coolant leaking into the engine cylinders—a known issue affecting this engine platform. Your vehicle is now inoperable. The fix will require head gasket replacement and inspection of the cooling system to prevent further coolant intrusion.

Your engine overheated while driving at highway speeds, and you had to add coolant to keep going. A few days later, your heating system stopped working and a "Coolant Low" warning appeared on your dashboard. A dealer diagnosed coolant leaking into your engine itself, which is a serious internal problem that likely requires engine repair or replacement.

I have had the high-pressure fuel pump fail on me three times in less than 10,000 miles. This causes the motor to shut down, crank no start and I’ve also had it blow the fuel pump off the top of the motor and dump the oil on the highway on the windshield all over the car, creating a severe crash hazard on these events

My 2019 Ford Edge has 64,500 miles on it and the transmission needs replacing. Ford says that it will cost me $9K, but if I come up with $4500, they might help with the rest. I bought this vehicle just over a year ago and took it into a dealership with under 60K miles with the initial complaints. After a year of them looking at the computer system and making adjustments to that, they told me it needed a throttle body. I had a friend take it to another Ford dealership and they ran a diagnostic study on it right away - the transmission fluid has metal in it, it needs to be replaced. After telling the first dealership what we found, they said that it isn't covered under any warranty because when they finally found out what was wrong, it was over the 60K miles. Right now, I still have 5 years left on my loan and it sits in my driveway - UNABLE to drive it. And I don't have $4500! I do see that the transmissions have caused issues in these models, can I please get some help with getting mine fixed...? Again, I don't have the money to dish out to fix this myself and I will be making monthly payments on it for the next 5 years as it sits in my driveway!! I did get a hold of one lawyers office and they said that there might be a civil suit (?) brought up again Ford. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Without warning or prior issues, while driving the car on a busy street the check engine light came on, the car shook and locked up/stopped suddenly. I was almost rear ended. The car would not restart. A known TSB is in place for this car and the head gasket design flaw allows coolant into the engine causing it to seize on even low mileage cars (under 46,000 miles). 19 year old female left stranded in highway after a near collision. Ford needs to be forced to recall these engines and fix this design flaw!

The problem is the torque converter. It causes a hesitation when accelerating from being stopped, usually around 30-43 mph is when the car acts like it isn't going to speed up and slows down instead of speeding up. I had the torque converter replaced once in Sept. 2024. My car has 82,213 miles. I took my car in today 8/5/25 and was confirmed that the torque converter need to be replaced again. The Ford service department told me that they have had 8 - 10 Ford Edges come in in the last 2 weeks with the same problem. I have 2 family members that have Ford Edges that is having the same issues.

Longblock engine cracked between the 2nd and 3rd cylinders due to coolant intrusion without any warning. No lights indicated low coolant nor that the temperature was rising. My car kept stalling at stop lights but would restart. By the time I got home, white smoke was coming from exhaust and it smelled like fireworks. It has 38,997 miles but is 6 years old and out of warranty. Ford wanted $12,691.17 to install a new engine with only a 1 year warranty. I had the engine replaced with a used engine and before I could get the car home, the replacement engine block cracked in the same place as mine. That engine only had 40,000 miles. Ford claims no issues with my car but the 2018 and 2017 Edge's have a recall for the same issue. This is not true!!

Our 2019 Ford Edge (purchased in November 2018) has had a coolant leak into the engine's cylinders. As a result we are facing an estimated $12,000 expense to essentially rebuild the engine. In doing some research, it appears as if there is a class action lawsuit already filed against Ford for the 2015-2018 Edge. Our situation is exactly the same as that described in the lawsuit. Therefore, it seems as if Ford still has not rectified the issue.

My 2019 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine began experiencing a misfire, loss of power, and white smoke from the exhaust. No engine light was on when it started and the car has less tan 46K miles. I had the car towed to a certified mechanic and he confirmed that coolant is leaking into my cylinders, which matches the issue described in Ford TSB 19-2346. This appears to be a widespread manufacturing defect affecting many vehicles with this engine. The presence of coolant in the combustion chamber caused catastrophic engine failure and poses a safety risk due to sudden loss of power while driving. I have been told that to fix the issue I need to replace the whole engine. Repair costs are estimated at $10,600 for an engine replacement at a local repair shop. I would expect it to be even higher from a Ford dealer. Ford has acknowledged this defect in a TSB 19-2346, but no recall has been issued. I am submitting this complaint so NHTSA is aware of the defect and its safety implications. I urge NHTSA to investigate this issue and require Ford to take responsibility.

2019 Ford Edge ran out of coolant without any indication of low coolant level or check engine light, resulting in loss of heat and poor engine performance due to coolant combustion. According to Ford service (who confirmed the root cause), this was due to the known issue of a faulty EGR cooler [XXX] ) leaking internally, but repairs had to be paid out of pocket. Loss of heat in winter could be dangerous, and in prolonged error state, catastrophic engine failure could occur. Failure occurred at ~55,000 miles.

The vehicle was not shifting properly and was surging while traveling at lower and higher speeds. There was NO CHECK ENGINE light on or any other warning lights at all. The vehicle is in my name, however, my daughter drives 9 hours for college by herself and could have been at risk of injury had the vehicle stalled in the wintertime between Minnesota and Kansas. I drove it while she was home over the winter break and noticed it. I took it to a Ford dealer and they said the transmission needed to be replaced. I went from diagnosing there was a problem myself with no warning lights to the dealer saying this is very common for the Ford Ecoboost engines and that the car is not drivable at all. He was also concerned the low coolant level was due to an engine failure which he said they've also seen a lot of. The vehicle only has 57,000 miles on it, however, it is 6 months past warranty. I have read the Ford forums about this vehicle and there are SO MANY people who have experienced the same thing and Ford refuses to do a recall to cover their mistake. There needs to be a recall on this to protect consumers like myself. This is so frustrating. Now I need to pay out of pocket for a new transmission on a car that I need to get rid of ASAP after hearing about all of the engine failures. I know that would be next, which would put my daughter at risk once again on the road.

2019 Ford Edge has the same 2.0 liter eco boost 240PS that’s currently involved in the class action lawsuit. The problem is that the coolant sleeve is too close to the toy he cylinder and failed causing coolant to enter the engine. I was traveling on the interstate and with no warning the hot engine light came on and engine shut down. The dealer confirmed that the mother need to be replaced with the updated long block that is being put in the 2015 - 2018 Ford Edge and the 2017 - 2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape and MKC vehicles. The vehicle only has 75000 miles on it and has never towed or been used hard. We had the vehicle for less that 15,000 miles and now have a completely useless vehicle. Ford refuses to admit any fault even with the engine codes being the exact same. The 2019 for edge need to be looked into and included with the class action lawsuit for safety and consumer satisfaction.

My 2019 Ford Edge SEL has 37,000 miles and I keep it maintained regularly. We were 2 miles from our house when a loud blaring signal popped on my dashboard that my coolant was very low and at that point the car started "sputtering". We inched it home and sure enough, the coolant was empty. We've had no leaking on the driveway at any time. We filled the coolant reservoir and the message did not go away. We had it towed to our mechanic the next day and he said the engine needed to be replaced!!!! What? NO WARNING!! Now 2 days prior (which was a Friday), my check engine light came on and I could see a white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe and the car hesitated. After a few minutes, that went away. Drove it to work and back - 4 miles each way. The next day it happened again and again it stopped after a few minutes. I drove it maybe 10 miles after that running errands and then parked it for the day. The following day is when it "died". I received no other message or warning until it was too late. We were told by our mechanic that Ford has had numerous complaints on this engine. It is a Turbo on a 4 cylinder. The Turbo part will eventually overwork the 4 cylinder. Of course it is out of warranty. Now I am spending over $6,000 to replace this engine. Why in the world would Ford even install an engine like this in their vehicles? And why are they not recalling them?????? My husband has always had Ford Trucks and Mustangs - We have always been Ford People. I will never buy another Ford - SO DISAPPOINTED!!!!!

Sept. My car began bucking and jerking really bad. I was at 63,000 miles. I called Ford who said to get it in...the soonest they could get me in was over a month out. I told them it was a serious safety concern because of the jerking and that they were putting my safety at risk making me wait so long driving a car like that. I had to wait. I tried fuel injection cleaner to see if that would help, it didn't. I never had any codes or lights saying anything was wrong. Ford looked at it and drove it and the mechanics understood why I felt unsafe driving it, they said it jerked really bad. I told Ford I was afraid it would jerk and hit someone when leaving a light or cause me to get hit by jerking and pausing while turning. I was in there a few months ago trying to schedule my transmission fluid to be changed and they told me no I needed to come back between 70-75,000 miles. Today they told me that the transmission fluid was black with metal in it. They said I now need a new transmission at $8,333.

Vehicle seemed to be idling strange. Also seemed jerky while waiting at the stop light. Attempted to accelerate and it was lagging. Once I started driving it seemed better until the "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" alert displayed. The vehicle then started disbursing a white smoke. After pulling over the light went off, however the vehicle continued to jerk forward and was idling strange. Continued to have a lagging effect when attempting to accelerate. The vehicle continued to emit a white smoke. The vehicle was brought to a mechanic who indicated the head gasket and/or engine needed replacement. Had been told be the mechanic they have had several over issues exactly like this one. They also indicated there was a recall and/or possible lawsuit. My VIN came up with no recall which makes no sense considering I am having the same issue that's been reported under the recall.

I am having trouble with my car jerking when accelerating between 30 and 50 mph. I originally began to have trouble with my 2019 Ford Edge on 5/13/22. On this date, the car began to overheat and I ended up having to incur the expense of not only having the car towed; but also of retrieving the car as the closest Ford dealership at the time was 5 hours away from my home. In this instance, the car was repaired under warranty and a code of TSB 20-2234. Shortly after the repair, I noticed that my car's wifi was no longer working; and, when I inquired I was told that there would be a $400 diagnostic fee. Furthermore, after about 6 months I noticed that the car would begin to jerk when accelerating. There were no console warnings, just an irregularity when driving. I took it back to the dealership on 8-28-2023 for the acceleration issue. I was given a rental car while they reviewed the issue. The repair cost me $600. After about 6 months, the issue returned and persisted. Until I finally turned the car in on 5-1-2024. After 26 days, I was given an estimate of more than $4,000 for diagnostic services and repairs. I trusted Ford Motor Company so I did everything to be a good client, pay my bill and retrieve my car as quickly as possible. I turned in the rental car on 5/27/24 and was able to pay my bill but 6/7/24. And not 24 hours later, I have the same jerking issue. It occurs when the car is accelerating between 30mph and 50mph; especially when going uphill. I have followed all factory requested specs and have had it serviced regularly. Clearly, there is an issue with this automobile.

There are MANY of the Ford Edges ranging in years close to mine that have this recall; however mine is not included. When I spoke with Ford they mentioned they wouldn't pay for it, but I fear it's a safety concern for myself and many others from my research in this predicament. This is thousands of dollars that I am not able to afford and it seems like a 5 year old car shouldn't need a new transmission. It definitely feels unsafe and unjust.

Detailed account: After my morning commute, the car started sounding like it was idleing hard with a strange smell. It didn't smell like buring oil or plastic/rubber. Midday, I went to a store 1/2 mile from my work. There was little noticable sound upon starting. I pulled into the parking lot, when I shifted into reverse to park, the car shut off. There were no warning lights on the dash. I shifted to park, then turned the car back on and parked. There was smoke coming from one of the tail pipes that lasted several minutes after shut-off. After 30 min, I turned on the car and shifted into reverse to leave the parking spot. The car shut off and the brakes were not responsive as rolled slightly down an incline. Again no warning lights, so I returned to my workplace and finished my day. We contacted a mechanic and scheduled an appointment as soon as they could get us in. Following the workday, I began the drive to my child's school (approx 3 miles city). Within 1 mile, the check engine light came on and the car shut off when I came to a complete stop at a light. I shifted to park then turned it back on when the light turned green. It shut off again when someone entered my lane and I had to come to a complete stop. Once again turned back on, and limped it to my son's school because I had to get to my child before the end of pickup time (my husband would not have made it in time if I had pulled over where I was). I tried to avoid making a complete stop but had to proceed through two 4 way stops, when the vehicle shut off again. I made it to the school where I could safely leave it and wait for it to be towed. Malfunction: Engine shut-off, lack of powered brack due to car shutting off Safety Risk: extended stopping time in the middle of the road due to time needed to turn car back on Problem has been confirmed by mechanic shop, internet research, and a friend in Ford service department as known issue (design flaw) of corrosion due to coolant intrusion.

I pulled off the highway as I was endanger and the vehicle was acting erratically which almost caused an accident I then went to a gas station and had coolant restored as it had run out completely without notice or reason the mechanic advised I speak with dealer. I brought vehicle to local mechanic, who advised that the engine was blown unserviceable. He stated that he had seen this issue many times before and stated that the Ford Eco-boost engine had a widespread problem of the engine block cracking then coolant entering the engine destroying it. He said he had seen this many times over many years. He said the coolant was leaking from the tail-pipes which was a tell tale sign of the issue. he said there was a long history of engine problems with Ford Edge Eco-boost engines dating back to 2012. I looked on line and a great deal of history and documentation were present, even a large federal class action law suit based in California. The Colonial Ford Dealership in Plymouth Ma confirmed everything that the mechanic had told me but denied any responsibility saying they were not aware of any history or re-call, they charged me 7,400.00$ to replace the engine. A letter from Ford Corp said they were not responsible until a re-call is ordered The U.S. GOV should step and work to stop Ford from doing this to customers and not until after someone is killed or injured.

A few days later I noticed white smoke coming from the vehicle's exhaust, a more noticeable acceleration issue - missing, hesitancy, - and then the vehicle died when I stopped for a light. I called an independent mechanic. The engine completely stopped on me 4-5 times at traffic lights or stop signs as I drove to his shop. I had several close calls to other vehicles hitting me as my vehicle would not move when I gave gas trying to pull out. Just as I pulled onto the lot, the indicator light came on saying the vehicle was Overheating (this was the first time).

I had no warning my car just stalled and there was no coolant and white smoke coming from tailpipes. 2.0L EcoBoost coolant intrusion can lead to corrosion, misfires, overheating, fouled spark plugs, engine fires, and complete engine failure. It has been such a problem in early model 2.0L EcoBoosts that Ford issued a technical service bulletin.

The coolant of the vehicle is getting low after being filled each time. Upon research the 2019 Ford Edge models and Ford’s 2.0L EcoBoost engines are having the same problem. The coolant level gets below low and can even cause engine fire. Upon inspection from the mechanic, it is proven that the coolant fluid level decreases rapidly after filling and can be a leak that might can even cause vehicle fire.

My vehicle overheated as I was driving to work (hardly 5 months after the warranty expired). I pulled over as the engine was smoking. Turns out engine failure the engine was not repairable. So, I took it to my trusted mechanic who ordered the engine from Ford. Within 2 weeks of getting my Edge back, the check engine light was on, the power train light came on too and within seconds of that the engine overheated again. The engine was taking in coolant and burned up again just as the first time. This is a Ford engine issue. Completely ridiculous and unsafe. I’m 5 months pregnant and should not have to worry if my new vehicle is safe or if the engine is going to blow up again.

I was driving the vehicle in highway traffic with a slowdown in the morning , I was driving 14mph and vehicle had about 60,005 miles. The engine started knocking hard while I was driving, prior to this the engine had no issues. The diagnosis’s that the Ford dealership gave was that engine threw and engine rod on cylinder number 6, there was no warning lights that showed. Issue has been reported to Ford and they have yet to reached out due to their engine failing just a few miles over 60k. If i was in regular speed traffic my vehicle would of stopped right on traffic lanes and could of caused an accident. Vehicle is currently in the Ford shop awaiting for repair cost.

I cut my car off to fill up with gas, after filling up with gas I get back in my 2019 Ford Edge Titanium 2.0 Eco Boost and my car would not crank. It was turning over but would not crank. Finally, after my fourth time trying to start my 2019 Ford Edge it finally started and I had pump the gas pedal to keep it running. Then I noticed the engine light on, and my 2019 Ford Edge was running rough and sounded horrible. I took my 2019 Ford Edge to the Ford Dealership and was told that the Purge Solenoid Valve was bad, Giving my 2019 Ford Edge a default code a P0456 Fault Code (Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected, Severity 1 of 3, Service Should Be Scheduled and Repaired). My 2019 Ford Edge Titanium 2.0 only had 74,000 miles at the time this happened. The Ford Dealership told me that the Purge Solenoid Valve is/was not covered under the warranty. I believe a recall should be posted for the 2019 Ford Edge Titanium 2.0 Eco Boost. Because the part should not fail at under 100,000 miles. Also, this could affect the Oxygen Sensors Failing also. As a result of leaving a family stranded at the gas pump because there car will not start.

Engine failed. Car was jumping and shaking out of control on the highway while I was going 60 mph and before I could pull of the highway it wouldn’t accelerate at all, and stopped directly in the middle of a busy highway.I could have been rear ended at a speed of 60 mph on a highway. It’s currently at Ford dealership. Before the car while parked made a gushing sound like water coming out of bath tub. After car started shaking check engine light and engine coolant over temperature came on.
