NHTSA Complaint #11499380 — 2016 FORD EDGE

My 2016 Ford Edge SEL AWD 2.0L (65,000 Miles on engine) Ecoboost Engine started to experience a rough idle on a cold start, which would run normal after about 15 seconds, I also noticed the smell off coolant and a low level coolant in the reservoir but could not find a leak. These symptoms went on for about a month, then one day the engine light popped on while driving. I attached my Code Reader which resulted in a P0302 Engine Misfire Code. I attempted to remove the #2 spark plug. The spark plug was seized in the engine head. After research on-line. I found out this is a known issue by Ford for this engine. Engine coolant leaking into the cylinders (a design flaw which was corrected in 2019 for new vehicles). Technical Service Bulletin 22-2229. For Motor Company is only repairing vehicles under warranty. So consumers like myself that trusted the Ford name/product are being stuck with the repair bill. My repair bill is $6,563.29 , this was for a New Engine Long Block which is Ford Motor Company's recommended fix for their flawed design or their engine. The effected engines include 1.5L, 1.6L and 2.0L Ecoboost engines.
