NHTSA Complaint #11440721 — 2016 FORD EDGE

I was driving from Phoenix Arizona to Tucson Arizona, about 1: 45 min drive, October 23rd, 2021, and all of the sudden the check engine lights turns on, and its getting hot, and the engine shuts down, I lose all power to the Steering , and brakes, now, i am going about 45 in a 75 lane, but people going 80 plus. and we are about 20 miles from home. WE finally able to pull over and check it out. I added water and let it cool down for about 30 mins, We took the frontage road driving around 30-35 miles per hour.. the light was on still but not over heating, till we got to the house when we saw the temperature going up, we shut it down,,, The next day i drove to a Mechanic close to the house, they ran the tests, and was advise that the engine had water in the motor, due to the engine being defective, they did tell us, that they have seen these a lot, in the edge and Escape, coming to their shop, took it to another mechanic (Ford Certified) and told us the same thing, no Good and you need to replace the engine at a cost of $6000- up to $8000.00, it only has 94k on the engine. they are seeing this across the USA. Its very dangerous, because when going 75 plus and your calls stalls out and slows down fast and cars and trucks had to go around us, some fish tailed almost out of control, we could have caused a MAJOR Pile up had not the car started for us to get to the side . God was with us, please look into this, We have the car parked, because we cant afford a new enginge. and still making payments on a CAR that done run thanks for your time rda
