Consumer Description

There is a " design flaw" with the vehicle where coolant leaks into the cylinder heads and you have to replace the whole engine. I have read about it in the Internet when my check engine light came on and gave me cylinder 2 misfire code.I started the car and the check engine light was off. I tried to get to work that morning and the car shut off on the middle of Interstate 81 with no warning. It was a very dangerous situation where I got stuck until it came to a complete stop and turn it back on. White smoke poured out of the tail pipe, I went home. I spoke with a Ford representative who said it is a design flaw in this engine and the whole thing needs to be replaced, with engines starting at $5,000 plus 4 days labor. He advised that the problem could happen again with the replacement. I know there is nothing you guys can do but my car died in 2 days.i have a $20,000 to pay off and only had this car a year and I am going to have to give it back and keep paying for it, for 5* years. I feel so upset and cannot believe Ford is doing this to people and getting away with it. This ruined my life and I will probably lose my job now cause I have no means of transportation. This needs to be recalled! It's not right
