Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ON MY 2016 FORD EDGE AROUND 60000 MILES. CODE READER INDICATED MISFIRE ON CYL 3. AFTER CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS AS A POTENTIAL FIX, THE ISSUE CAME BACK. ROUGH IDLES WHEN STARTING BUT USUALLY WOULD GO AWAY AFTER A FEW SECONDS. LAST TIME I WENT TO START IT, WHITE, SWEET SMELLING SMOKE BEGAN POURING OUT OF THE EXHAUST. SHUT OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. SEVERAL OTHER DOCUMENTED CASES OF COOLANT LEAKING INTO CYLENDER LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A HEAD GASKET OR ANOTHER ENGINE DESTROYING ISSUE. HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC NOW.
