    Anonymous, TN (2017 Ford Edge SEL 3.5-L V6)

    "Antifreeze level down and engine light on. Per dealer mechanic, it is due to hairline cracks in head cooling system around turbo area. This is ongoing and likely will require engine replacement at estimated $8000.00. Currently 1. Observing it and monitoring fluid level 2. noting temperature (no overheating yet) and 3.

    Anonymous, MN (2017 Ford Edge SE Unsure)

    "Started with gradual loss of coolant. The engine had a rough idle after starting for day. Told the Ford dealership about the issue at the next oil change. They determined there was a crack in one of the cylinders. A new engine long block was required."

    Anonymous A., OR (2017 Ford Edge SEL 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)

    "The "Check engine" light came on while driving from Florida to NJ. The only symptom was rough running at start, and then smoothed out after a short while. We made it home without incident. My mechanic identified fluid in the cylinder that did not belong there. He advised me to take it to my Ford dealer, who told me engine had to be replaced. This actually took place 2 years ago, when car had 59,000 miles so repair was covered under warranty. It took 2 months for them to get the new engine and finish the replacement. Otherwise, this is the best and most reliable car we have ever owned. There have been no other repairs that I can think of."

Flickering is not constant but intermittent. I found online a way to restart/reboot the display using buttons on the control panel. Sometimes one restart suffices, other times multiple restarts are necessary to restore normal functioning. Have spent $2700 on parts and labor. Am living with the problem currently and restarting the screen as needed. Appears to be a wiring or connector problem...possibly an intermittent sensor problem."

    Display screen goes blank

    "the problem is ongoing, the screen goes blank often when you need it the most. I was told by my dealer service dept. that I would have to bring it to them as it was happening in order for them to correct the problem. Finally after almost 5 years of expericencing this problem I was able to get it back to the dealer I purchased it from and who serviced it regularly. He then said that he had no one available to look at it then even though he was fully staffed."
