NHTSA Complaint #11530918 — 2017 FORD EDGE

I purchased my Ford Edge about 4 years ago at approximately 25000 miles from Tom Ahl in Lima Ohio. It currently has 73989 miles. I have been faithful in my maintenance of the vehicle. I started having rough start that last only briefly and made an appointment with my mechanic. He said the code was cylinder 3 and changed the coil pack. This did not resolve the problem. He then changed the spark plugs. Still did not resolve the issue. I took it to the Ford dealership which determined there was coolant leaking into the cylinders and the engine needed replaced. After doing some research, I learned this is a very common problem with the 2017 Ford Edge Eco boost 2.0 engine. Ford has know about the problem since 2010 and corrected it in 2020. Engines have failed and caught on fire due to this issue. I feel an engine should last longer than 73989 miles and it is a defect in the way the engine was built and cooled. I am filing this complaint in hopes that a recall will be issued. The replacement is costing me over 8000 dollars. I don't want to turn off the code and dump on some one else and I also cant afford to just junk the vehicle. So I am hoping for a recall. Many people have had to deal with this and if Ford had made it known, I would have never purchased this vehicle.
