NHTSA investigations into the engine on the Edge

DP26-008opened Sep 3, 2026

Engine And Engine Cooling · model years 2015 to 2018

Loss of motive power. Open.

NHTSA summary

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.

NHTSA summary

On July 22, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) granted a Defect Petition (DP22001) and opened a Preliminary Evaluation (PE22007) to investigate allegations of loss of motive power in model year (MY) 2021 Ford Bronco vehicles equipped with 2.7L EcoBoost engines. Complainants were reporting sudden engine failure while driving resulting in a loss of motive power, often without the ability to restart. During PE22007, the cause of engine failure and loss of motive power in the subject vehicles was determined to be intake valve fracture, and the full scope of vehicles affected by the subject defect was identified as all MY 2021-2022 Ford and Lincoln models equipped with either the 2.7L or 3.0L EcoBoost engines, referred to as the “Nano” engine family. If an intake valve fractures in the subject engines, it may drop into the cylinder and contact the piston, often resulting in catastrophic engine damage. On September 29, 2023, PE22007 was upgraded to an Engineering Analysis (EA23002) to further investigate the subject defect across the full scope of affected vehicles. During EA23002, ODI visited Ford facilities to review technical information related to intake valve fracture in “Nano” engines, coordinated with NHTSA’s Vehicle Research and Testing Center (VRTC), and analyzed updated field data relating the subject defect. Forensic analysis of fractured intake valves demonstrated that the defective components exhibited “grinding burn” or out of specificatio

None of these investigations covers the 2019 model year.

What owners wrote

“Had the Ford dealership look at the reason for shuddering on car. Dealership determined the Torque Converter causing shuddering around 60,000 miles or before. No check engine light came on.”
Filed May 26, 2026 · 60,000 miles

“Engine Failure at 35,000 miles due to well known and documented engine design flaw between cylinder 2 and 3. The gasket fails and leaks coolant into the cylinders causing engine failure. An upgraded 2020 engine that has fixed the issue is required.”

“Vehicle has 71,452 miles and has started using coolant and the wrench and check engine light are coming on. This is a known issue in other years of ford vehicles and this vehicle should also be included in the recall.”

“This car was built in 2018 not 2029. Coolant is leaking into cylinder of engine. Can cause possible overheating and or engine fire and eventually engine failure. Not exactly sure when it started but its getting worse.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 0 of 67 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.
