Thanks Trish! Unfortunately a lot of Ford owners are experiencing what you're going through. Hopefully they take good care of you. Please keep us updated with how it turns out.

@@ValleyMobileAutomotive Dealership says coolant in cylinder #2 and they have to replace the long block at a cost of $8,656.58. Warranty has expired and not eligible for Ford to pay for the repair. Service rep says he is talking with management to see if there is something they can do to assist. This car was purchased new and my first experience with Ford. I work remotely, drive less than 10K per year. I am SOOO upset and not sure how I'm going to pay for this. But I can tell you, I was so much more prepared to handle this news because of your video. I'll know more tomorrow.

@@trishconnerywalkup9056any updates? We are going through the same mess as of yesterday…

@@tannermckenzie5442 Not all horrible news but not good and yes, the engine had to be replaced. After much complaining and protestations on my part about the situation, the dealership, in conjunction with Ford Motor Company, agreed to cover about 45% of the cost. This will definitely help but I'm still paying several thousand dollars out of pocket for something that I believe Ford should be responsible for. The dealership required a $3,000 deposit to order parts and start work. I talked them down to $2,500. Dealership said it would take 2-4 weeks to replace the engine. The dealer did NOT provide a loaner, they said they did not have one available. Their only concession was to give me their corporate rate to Enterprise if I wanted to get a rental. Fortunately, the combination of my going out of town and the fact the dealer got the repair done in 2 weeks meant I never actually had to get a rental, I managed without it. I'm actually picking my car up tomorrow (6/17/24). When I voiced my concern that the problem could reoccur, the Dealership said the new engine includes replacement of the faulty coolant system which has been redesigned/improved. The new engine also comes with warranty. I am grateful to the dealership because I feel the service rep I dealt with was on my side and advocated for me. But I still feel completely and 100% that this should be a Ford recall issue. There is SO much online about so many Ford owners dealing with this issue. And there WAS a recall for this exact issue for some Ford Escapes with the 1.5 Eco Boost engine - but mine is a 2.0 and didn’t qualify. Not to mention there has already been a class action suit. So, after I pick up my car I'm going to start a letter writing campaign, a social media campaign, contacting our local new "trouble-shooter' reporter and generally do whatever I can do to make a nuisance of myself as much as possible, to force Ford Motor Company to reimburse me for the rest of the repair. It may or may not work, but I'm mad enough about it to try. Sadly, I no longer have faith and confidence in this car or in Ford. I hope this info helps… and good luck!

Was just told the same thing today. 77000 miles 2018 edge. I'm outraged

So very sad. I pray this gets resolved. Mine is leaking too at just over 28,000 miles. Just got it less than 2 months ago

Same problem 2019 Ford Edge , 60000 miles

Did ford assistance help? same issue with 2015 ford edge

Same here. I have a 2017 edge @ 73000 miles.

I'm glad you were able to get it fixed under warranty 👍. The backorder shows this is pretty common... Unfortunately 😕... But the new engines should be updated without this issue 🙂

@@Crazytomm Wow that's crazy!

Funny part is none of fords I-4 or v6 naturally aspirated engines have this problem. Its an ecoboost issue. This is why i avoided the ecoboost turbo garbage. I'm sorry, but you can't beat a naturally aspirated engine for reliability over these new small turbo engine garbage. I don't care what car brand you go with, a turbo engine will always wear out faster, than a naturally aspirated engine. I've never had a single issue with my V8 5.0L coyote engine on my 2014 F-150 and its pushing 150k.

same here

Same here. If Ford doesn't do a recall on this or pay for most of it at least, then there is simply no way I would ever buy a Ford again. Think long term and do the right thing, Ford.

Good question. I would say it depends on the mechanic and not the location. You can still get a rookie mechanic at the dealer, I was once. The new Ford blocks are better designed. The dealer would put in the updated block. I would question CarMax about where they will be getting the new engine.

@@ValleyMobileAutomotive Well, I'm resourceful, here's what I did: I called outside my Vegas area to Cali, found a Ford dealership that had 0 wait time! They are very familiar with the issue, so I drove my car there 4 hrs, dropped it off, flew back home. Should take only 1-2 months. Will have Ford do it.

@@spellboundsx5098 Nice! Glad your getting it taken care of 👍

Nope

Hmm 🤔. I would get a second opinion from a different shop just to confirm. Don't tell them what the first shop said. Let them diagnose it from scratch 👍

I've had 3 different shops look for the leak and neither could trace it, called ford to ask their opinion after and was told the 3.5 2016 edge awd is know for these lines that leak.. they said if its a slow leak but can't be seen without taking engine out, better not fooling with it .. vehicle is not burning it, it's leaking on the ground passenger side front.. if not the hoses it's the water pump. Either way not worth fixing until it becomes bigger issue .​@ValleyMobileAutomotive

Did you purchase it at a used car lot or dealer? If so I would take it back and have them look into why it's acting up. The shaking could be a tire out of balance. The light yellow fluid sounds like antifreeze. Does it have the consistency of water or oil?

@ValleyMobileAutomotive I bought it at a Ford Dealership here in town. They set the warranty to brand new factory warranty. However, I have a $100 deductible each visit plus "$135.00 diagnostic charge for each thing they have to check and if it's not covered under warranty, I have to pay each $135.00 diagnostic charge. I have an appointment, but can't get in until the 14th of this month

@@ValleyMobileAutomotive They yellow fluid, I couldn't tell the consistency. It was a stream of it center of the vehicle.

@@ValleyMobileAutomotive Thanks for taking the time to reply as well😇

@@ME-pg3sw I would encourage keeping the appointment and paying the diagnostic fee if necessary. They should do a good job getting it taken care of. If you think they are not owning up to what's wrong with it then I would take it to another shop just for the diag and bring the write up back to the dealer. But I hope you don't have to go that far. You may have 2 separate issues 1. The vibration 2. The fluid leak.

That's a good question. The engine is already damaged. The symptoms will only get worse over time but how long it will be before it's no longer drivable is uncertain.

Unfortunately as of this video Ford has not yet compensated their customers for this issue 😕.

Nope.... Only way to not pay is to pay for an extended warranty from a 3rd party that does engine(long block) replacement protocols

@@kbrownfocus I just decided to trade it in 6weeks ago with 97,000 miles on it. To risky

​@@kennyhart2699Did you trade in with the leak issue, with Ford? Did they give you much for it?

If I were you, I'd look at other videos about the flawed block design on the 2.0 ecoboost engine which does clearly show the problem, which is super thin cylinder walls between cylinders with a slot for a coolant passage. The majority of leaks are coming from the thin areas in the head gasket. This is why the solution is a block replacement with thicker cylinder walls.

From my understanding the issue is in the block. That's the reason for the whole engine instead of replacing the head and or gasket.

I used some K Seal (gasket repair kit) and it's been about 6 months and I haven't had intrusion/misfire since. It's worth a shot.

They modified the coolant passage ways between the cylinder heads beginning in april of 2019, which fixed this issue. Now what the should do is at least recall and inspect every 2.0L ecoboost manufactured before April 2019, but they won't, not unless the NHSTA nails them with a mandatory recall, but good luck with that. The NHSTA is in the back pockets of the US auto industry. They won't make anything a recall unless the NHSTA is forced to after several class action lawsuits by the consumer. Bureaucracy at its finest.

Any info on the class action lawsuit currently going on?

Unfortunately Ford has not issued an extended warranty or recall on these engines.

@@ValleyMobileAutomotive - That's very bad news for a lot of 2.0 Eco boost ford owners everywhere.

@@mr.nobody4900 if you own one in this year range I would consider weather to keep it or not. It might just be a matter of time before you need to drop over $6k for a new engine 😕

@@ValleyMobileAutomotive- I am not a Ford owner...I am a Honda owner...I know a girl who is having this problem...she decided to buy another car altogether.

Phew, bought a 2.7L Edge
