Engine failure on other Edge years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014, 2020, 2021, 2022.
What this problem usually is
These are the reports nobody wants to file. The engine started knocking or ticking, the oil light came on, and then it seized or had to be replaced. Some owners had the replacement covered under warranty or an extension, and plenty were told they'd pay. Several narrower sheets split this group into knocking, seized engines and rod bearing failure.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the engine (39 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the engine covers the 2019 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.

What owners wrote
“The engine blew due to coolant getting into the engine. This happened in 2025 and I had to have the engine replaced and pay completely out of pocket for it. I see that there is an investigation into 2015-2018 Ford Edge motors. Mine is a 2019 but has the same engine and had the same issue.”

“My vehicle experienced a serious engine failure after exhibiting symptoms that included loss of coolant, sputtering/rough running, a check-engine light, loss of power, and the vehicle shutting down. I have since been advised that the engine has failed and requires significant repair or replacement.”

“When driving the vehicle, my husband noticed the engine was over heating. He pulled over and had the vehicle towed to a mechanic. The mechanic advised us that the engine is loosing coolant and this was a known issue with the 2019 Ford Edges. So now we are facing an expensive engine replacement.”

“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 40 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.
