2016 Ford Edge

The vehicle shake while idling, and a check engine light indicating code P0302 (Cylinder 2 Misfire). After looking under the hood the engine cooling system was severely low on coolant, and a loud sloshing liquid noise could be heard behind the dashboard. The vehicle was brought to an authorized Ford dealership, where technicians confirmed internal EcoBoost coolant intrusion into Cylinder 2 as documented in Ford Technical Service Bulletin TSB 22-2229. This structural design flaw creates an immediate safety hazard, as the engine is at risk of catastrophic failure and stalling while operating at highway speeds.

A month or so ago my car had a rough idle and the mechanic couldn't figure out why. Then last week my car lost power on the interstate, during rush hour. I'm lucky I didn't cause an accident as the loss of power was so sudden and all the traffic around me. Somehow I was able to safely pull over on the shoulder. I had my car towed and the mechanic found that the flex plate had failed and is cracked. As a result the car will no longer start. The recall letter that my mechanic found stated that a rough idle was one of the symptoms of a failing flex plate. My vehicle is 10 years and 3 months old but only has 93000 miles. The dealership said they won't cover it because it is out of date and their customer service line was no help. There were no warning lights or codes that appeared on the display screen. My mechanic found the issue by taking somethings apart.

I have a ford edge 2016, which I can see online that many vehicles like mine are having the same problems. I am having a severe coolant leak into the engine. It trembles when I start it or when I am at a red light, white smoke leaks out of my exhaust when I first start my car after adding coolant. I am constantly adding coolant, mostly every other day because it burns it so fast. My vehicle alerts me if it is overheating when I am am low in coolant, which scares me to think of a fire. I don't have the money to fix such an expensive repair. I feel that this is Fords responsibility to fix such a big, dangerous and costly issue.

While driving my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium, I felt a sudden popping sensation while applying the brakes and the brake pedal immediately went to the floor, resulting in major loss of braking ability. I was able to slowly and carefully get the vehicle parked before completely losing stopping ability. Brake fluid appeared to be leaking from the rear driver-side brake area. This vehicle previously experienced front brake hose failures related to prior Ford brake hose recalls. One front brake hose failed first, and the opposite front side later failed as well. Ford previously reimbursed me for one of those repairs after the recall became officially active. The current rear brake failure symptoms closely match Ford Recall 25S87 / NHTSA Recall 25V544000 involving rear brake hose rupture and brake fluid leakage in 2015–2018 Ford Edge vehicles. Landmark Ford in Tigard, Oregon and the Ford Customer Relationship Center have both confirmed that this repair is tied to the pending “advanced notice” rear brake hose recall affecting this vehicle platform, although the recall is not yet officially active. This failure created a serious safety hazard because the vehicle experienced sudden loss of braking, with no warning, while the vehicle was in motion creating a serious risk of collision, injury, or death to myself, my passengers, and others on the roadway because the vehicle could not safely stop under normal braking conditions. No prior warning lamps or brake failure warnings were observed before the incident.

Two-piece Ford OEM lug nuts, used on numerous Ford models and years, are notorious for swelling, rendering them unremovable with a standard lug nut wrench. Although the issue is well-known by people in the auto and auto parts industries, it is not generally known by the average Ford owner. This places the driver of such a vehicle at risk of being stranded, unable to replace a flat tire with the spare tire, and subject to an extended period of the risks associated with disabled vehicles beside busy roadways. It also subjects them to a towing, or roadside service, expense that would otherwise be unnecessary. Since Ford has, thus far, not owned this as a recall issue, once the vehicle owner is aware of it, they also bear the cost of replacing the lug nuts -- $10 per nut for the same Ford two-piece nuts, or $5 to $15 or more for suitable one-piece nuts, plus $140 to $180 for labor (more if any of the nuts are swollen or seized) to install them.

. The car would make 'running water sounds" when turned off and smelled funny. We were feeling odd, migraines, nausea and upper respiratory infections. It smelled like coolant and we became very concerned for our safety. We had just had one recall repaired and cannot believe something else is now at fault! Per the Ford dealership there was a service bulletin stating a known defect in a part that prevents coolant leaking into the engine. Ford shared the bulletin and that the engine cannot be repaired. This is due to a known defect with the part that is even on google as a DEFECT. Ford is now saying I have to pay $6K for a new engine because they cannot repair the defective part because the engine is now ruined due to the leak. I purchased a warranty for the car, but that company is saying this is a defect on Ford. This should be a recall due to Ford admitting fault in the part causing this issue. We are so lucky the car didn't seize on the interstate!

Received recall notice around August 2025. Called ford and they said there was no fix for the current recall. February 2026 my daughter was driving home and lost all pressure in her brakes. She made it home safely and I added brake fluid and started the car and as I pumped the brakes fluid started pouring out from the rear hose. I called ford and had it towed down to the dealership the next morning. They fixed it and confirmed it was the rear brake hose which was listed in the recall but it hadn’t been posted yet so I had to pay everything out of pocket to include tow, car rental and repairs.

I received a safety recall notice in September 2025 regarding my vehicle's rear flexible brake hose possibly having a leak. At that time the notice stated parts were not available but the Ford Company was working to provide parts for the repair and would notify me by mail to schedule an appointment to complete the repairs. I have called on several occasions, to several Ford dealerships, since September 2025 to follow up on this safety issue and schedule a repair only to be told there are still no parts available. A leaking rear flexible break hose causes a huge safety concern and should be addressed in a more timely manner by the car company. It is now six months with no resolve. This type of fix does not entail creative engineering, it simply involves replacing a common car part. I believe this delay in repair has become negligent and needs to be documented for when there is a poor outcome due to delayed braking.
