There was no heat coming out of the air vents when the cabin temperature was set for heating and high temperature. There were no warning lamps or messages on the display, or any other symptoms. After two weeks of this issue, I took it to the dealer to have them investigate the issue. The dealer service representative immediately noticed the coolant reservoir was empty. They said it was not safe to drive and they needed to do an immediate diagnostic and inspect to determine the root cause. The next day they concluded there was a coolant intrusion in cylinder #3 upon completion of a thorough diagnostics and inspection. They said the only repair fix for this issue is to replace the entire long block (engine assembly).
Took my 2017 Edge in for Check Engine light ON. Tech found Code P0302 & P0316 for misfire code. Followed TSB-22-2229 and inspected for coolant leak. Found coolant intrusion in cylinder #2. Assessed that a new engine is needed (long block repair/replace). Quoted $12,623.84 + tax. Advised that if I continue to drive my vehicle “it would not last long.”
Driving the suv, and experienced power loss. Getting on expressway, the motor was acting erratic, and check engine light was on and off. Took to Ford dealer and they said the engine was no good, coolant leak. So I went to other dealers and all said the same. Finally went to Langs Automotive, and they did a long block engine replacement. The suv has 60,000 miles! Without the replacement the suv was a danger to drive.
