Is this a known problem?

The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 3 service bulletins or notices for the 2016 Ford Edge that deal with this problem. Newest first.

Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.

“2016 Ford Edge had engine light come on. Ford dealer found coolant in engine and I was told by Ford dealer it was a misfire in engine cylinder 4 and that I would need a new engine and it would be a $7300-$7500 repair. Later, I found class action lawsuit regarding this issue. Asked Ford for financial help and they denied my request. I haven't decided if I will fix this issue at this time.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 1 of 110 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
