What owners report

Power Train

On 11/09/2022 the vehicle (with 85658 miles) was brought to laird noller ford of topeka ks for "customer satisfaction program 22n12 but was not repaired for some reason. its been rattling for years and the flexplate finally broke and now the same dealership said i need to pay $3300 out of pocket to fix it, when it broke down and left me stranded.

Engine

Engine is misfiring due to coolant intrusion leak issue. the only solution is full engine replacement. a check engine light with code p0303 was shown. the car occasionally runs rough and coolant was observed to be low.

Engine

I am writing to formally demand a permanent resolution and full coverage for a severe manufacturing defect on my 2017 ford edge (vin: [xxx]). ford shop has repeatedly failed to properly diagnose this vehicle, costing me over $2,023 in useless repairs [image_s6uqaz.png, image_qhjem9.png, image_1taqvw.png].here is the undeniable timeline and evidence of your shop's malpractice:first visit (invoice #xxx): i paid $1,072.

Engine

My engine is currently suffering from coolant intrusion due to the ford engine design. my engine suffers from mis-fires and rough idling on start up, constant engine coolant over-temperature while driving, and consistant need to add engine coolant to the cooling system every few days.
