Consumer Description
The vehicle is a 2018 Ford Edge and has less than 100k miles on it. Car was leaking coolant and we took it to the dealership where they told us it was leaking coolant into cylinder 4 and was possibly a cracked head. They had an adjuster, from the warranty company, inspected the vehicle and the adjuster stated we needed a new motor on 2/20/23 then 3 days later, 2/23/23, the warranty company contacted the dealership and told them they revoked the engine swap. They stated it must be damaged by an internally lubricated part. The dealership also put in an appeal to the denial. We've been having a constant battle with the warranty since February 4th. My car was in shop for 36 consecutive days and has yet to be fixed. The vehicle can overheat due to the constant leak of coolant and catch on fire or potentially blow up the entire motor while operating. We have been in emotional distress, extreme financial distress and its attempted child endangerment. I take my vehicle to and from work and to pick up my 2 year old son from daycare. If the engine was to blow, we could crash or get stuck and it could be fatal to both my child and I and my husband if he is driving.
