  At approximately 7:00 a.m. on 10/22/2026 I was driving my 2017 Ford Edge when suddenly there was a loud bang towards the rear of my car. Immediately after, I could hear my rear window shattering, cracking. There were no other cars near me at the time. As I continued to drive, the glass continued to crack and shatter. Glass started to break completely free from my window, and fall inside my rear hatch, as well as on the outside of the car on the road.

  I am currently dealing with the coolant intrusion into cylinder 2 of the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. In the beginning of XXX at about 134K miles, the check engine light came on. I was at a stop light (.2 miles from my home) and I got a warning message telling me the coolant temp was high and engine power was reduced. When I got home, I saw that the coolant was low, but there has not been any leaks noticed in driveway, refilled and was fine for 2 weeks. During those 2 weeks, I was having a rough idle at start up, and white smoke coming from exhaust. Then on the way to work the engine was overheating. Pulled over and turned off on the side of a highway to let it cool. After 10 minutes, turned the…

  My 2017 Ford Edge SEL, equipped with a 1.5L EcoBoost engine, experienced a catastrophic engine failure at 66,897 miles due to coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders — a defect Ford Motor Company had already identified and documented in Technical Service Bulletin TSB 22-2229, issued in 2022. Warning symptoms: The check engine light began flashing accompanied by a rough cold start, noise on startup, and engine misfiring. These symptoms appeared suddenly and without prior indication of any mechanical issue. Component that failed: The 1.5L EcoBoost engine — specifically, coolant intrusion into the cylinder(s) caused by a known manufacturing defect. The failed long block engine is…

  The component that has failed is the engine and it is available for inspection. The vehicle on multiple occasions has had loss of power while driving. The most recent incident was when I was driving 100 miles on interstate 81 and could not go more then 60 miles an hour. I had multiple semis and vehicles that had to go around me as the speed limit was 70. It also had severe loss of power going over mountains to go home. It also would shudder upon starting up and constantly lost antifreeze. I took the vehicle to Stuckey ford Bellefonte service shop and they confirmed coolant leaking into cylinder 2 and that it needed a new engine. They performed a multi-point vehicle inspection and a visual…

  My 2017 ford edge titanium 2.0 ecoboost has lost power and my coolant warning goes on. My check engine light stays on OBD scanner states p0301 cylinder one misfire. I have taken the spark plug out of cylinder 1 and did a coolant compression test and can clearly see coolant leaking onto cylinder 1. I do have a video of this as well.

  I am currently dealing with the coolant intrusion into cylinder 2 of the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. In the beginning of XXX at about 125K miles, the check engine light came on. I was at a stop light (.2 miles from my home) and I got a warning message telling me the coolant temp was high and engine power was reduced. When I got home, I saw that the coolant was low, but there has not been any leaks noticed in driveway, refilled and was fine for 2 weeks.

  I am reporting a loss-of-coolant and rough-running condition consistent with coolant intrusion into the cylinders, the defect described in Ford TSBs 19-2208, 19-2346, 22-2133, and 22-2229, and the subject of NHTSA defect petition DP26008. The engine has unexplained coolant loss with no visible external leak. It also has a rough start. A stored diagnostic code was present; I believe it was P0302, signalling a misfire in cylinder 2 and P0316, signaling misfire detected on start up. No crash, fire, or injury. I am reporting before a total loss of power because these failures are described as occurring while driving. In August, I brought the vehicle into my local Ford dealer for an oil change,…

NHTSA defect investigations

• DP26008 · opened Sep 3, 2026 · openLoss of Motive Power
  The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received a petition on August 5, 2026, requesting a defect investigation into the 2.0 Liter EcoBoost engine on model year 2015-2018 Ford Edge vehicles. The petition alleges that engine coolant intrusion results in a significant loss of engine power, accompanied by an "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" warning message. The petition further alleges that after the vehicle has sat and cooled down, the engine runs roughly and generates a check engine light for a cylinder misfire. This defect petition is being opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI number 11754989.
• PE24027 · opened Oct 3, 2024 · closed Oct 30, 2025 · led to recall 25V544Loss of braking caused by rear brake hose failure
  On October 3, 2024, NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this Preliminary Evaluation to investigate instances of rear brake hose ruptures causing a sudden and unexpected loss of braking in model year (MY) 2015-2017 Ford Edge vehicles manufactured by Ford Motor Company. The complaints allege that, without warning, the vehicle lost its ability to brake causing an unanticipated increase in the vehicle’s stopping distance. The complaints also allege that, prior to the rear brake hose rupture event, the vehicle had been serviced under recall 20V-469. Recall 20V469 involved MY 2015-2018 Ford Edge and MY 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX vehicles which may experience front brake hose ruptures causing increased brake pedal travel and a reduction in the rate of deceleration. Ford identified the cause of this safety defect as a consistent localized failure of the internal reinforcement…
• EA21002 · opened Sep 17, 2021 · openDesiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
  From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled…
