    My 2015 Ford Edge Titanium (VIN provided) suffered a catastrophic engine failure at 85,475 miles requiring a Ford long block replacement.

    Purchased car used from CarMax late 2024. Soon after 90 day Carmax warranty expired, the check engine light can on. Errors indicated engine missing on cyl #2 and that the O2 sensor was underperforming. Also, white smoke (steam) coming out of exhaust pipe. And, coolant fluid was all of a sudden low. I determined that there was a head gasket leak. As a repair was out of the question at the estimated cost of $6000, I elected to attempt to use a chemical stop leak. The #2 Oxygen…

    My 2015 Ford Edge suddenly turned into a nightmare on what started as a normal drive. I noticed the temperature gauge climbing quickly, the engine started overheating, and then the check engine light came on. Almost at the same time, the engine began feeling like it was slipping—power dropped off, it hesitated and ran rough under acceleration, almost as if the transmission were slipping, but it was the engine itself struggling from poor lubrication. Turns out coolant had…

    2.0L EcoBoost engine and coolant intrusion. Coolant leaked into two of the cylinder heads, resulting in engine failure and the need for a full engine replacement.Initially, the vehicle would not start. A tow company technician was able to get the vehicle started, after which I was advised to drive directly to my mechanic. I was informed that the exhaust smelled like diesel fuel and that if the engine were shut off, it was highly unlikely to restart. At that point, the check…

    There was a constant burning smell off and on over the last year coming from under the hood. Some days it was stronger than others. Engine compartment was hot when hood was opened. Would the engine catch fire? The coolant level would drop/leak randomly causing car to sputter or vibrate while sitting at traffic lights, etc... Traffic behind me was ready to move, but my car wasn't moving at the normal rate. It wasn't safe. Warning lights would come on, but not always.…
