Putting vehicle in to park and turning it off and back on again does a small reset and starts moving again. Over the last few months this event has happened multiple times until roughly around 2 months ago it will not move at all. check engine light is on and code saying "Transmission not in park" when you put it in Reverse and neutral and Drive and Sport. called dealership and they don't pick up the vehicle and want to charge me 180.00 just to Diagnose it.”

“The coolant is getting consumed by the engine. I need to add coolant every so often and there is no visible leaks in the hoses. It cause the check engine light to come on, a rough idle at start, and a cylinder to misfire.”

“Vehicle: 2017 Ford Edge Titanium, 2.0L EcoBoost, AWD Mileage at Incident: ~90,000 (mountain 2 lane canyon road steep cliffs and very little pull off space) Description of Problem: While driving uphill on a 2-lane mountain road, my vehicle displayed “Engine Coolant Over Temperature” (and related engine heat) warnings. The temperature gauge rose rapidly, engine power was severely limited (could not exceed ~40 mph even with full throttle), and pink coolant fluid was visibly boiling and gushing from the reservoir/overflow tank. I immediately pulled over safely. After cooling for 2–3 hours, the vehicle restarted and completed the climb with lighter driving, but the incident was dangerous due to reduced power on a winding mountain road with oncoming traffic. A check engine light with code P04DB (Crankcase Ventilation System Disconnected) is also present. Coolant pump, relays, fuses, and oil was checked and showed no milky contamination or issues at the time. Some white exhaust and smell was present at the time. This matches the well-known coolant intrusion defect in 2015–2018 Ford 2.0L EcoBoost engines (see TSB 19-2346), where coolant leaks internally into cylinders,…”
