NHTSA Complaint #11526429 — 2017 LINCOLN MKZ

This vehicle already has a TSB reported, TSB 22-2229. There is a known defect in the manufacturing of the engine design. The design is failing and allowing coolant to run into the engine cylinders. This puts drivers at risk, not knowing when the engine may completely fail while driving it. The engine heats up quickly when the coolant is drained into the engine (default design), instead of around the turbo engine. There is no coolant left in the reservoir, thus possibly causing an engine fire. I've had a diagnostic check on the vehicle at Blue Springs, Mo Ford. They report that the engine will need to be replaced. The service engine light comes on, but the code read doesn't come up as the engine. It is a spark plug/coil pack needed for replacement. This has been done. I've had the engine overheating warning come up. I've had to add antifreeze to the reservoir several times. These warning lamps and messages have been coming up for the past 2 weeks. The car starts off rough, with some misfires in the idle. I have had it not start at first and I will have to try again several times.
