NHTSA Complaint #11516906 — 2017 FORD EDGE

Most likely due to manufacturing defect or other issue related to, coolant is mixing into the engine cylinder causing a cylinder misfire. My vehicle is outside of the original manufacturer's warranty by about a year and now needs a new engine due to this defect. At 68,363 miles, there should not be a need for a new $6,000 plus tax engine with zero accountability or apology from Ford. This should have been a recall plain and simple and all costs associated with resolving this issue should be responsibility of the manufacturer. In June 2019, Ford issued a technical service bulletin of this known issue outlining the affected vehicles with a 2.0L EcoBoost engines, but did not communicate with affected owners or issue a recall to have this problem addressed nor do they offer a courtesy extension to the manufacturer's warranty for owners. While my family was lucky that we encountered this issue while we are in our home city, and not on the road driving to visit family in another state, it is not a stretch of the imagination that this could result in serious injury to unsuspecting, affected Ford vehicle owners. There is no repair invoice at the moment as my vehicle is currently still at the dealership awaiting parts.
