Consumer Description

Check engine light kept coming on for a misfire after my car was shaking in idle for months. By the time check engine light came on, the code read misfire cylinder 2. Assumed at first it was spark plugs or ignition coil, so I replaced those and still was having the issue. Check engine light was still coming on and misfire was still happening. Took car to auto shop and was told I need a new engine due to coolant leaking from engine into cylinders. Took car then to Ford dealership for them to review the problem and they came up with same conclusion and even said that this is a common problem with the Ecoboost engines. This is a KNOWN problem by Ford, and they have since corrected the issue with a new and improved engine, however they expect customers to pay for their defective engine replacement. My car is at 62,000 miles. It should not need a new engine. They sold me the car new, when Ford was well aware of this common issue which can become extremely dangerous.
