NHTSA Complaint #11605055 — 2018 FORD EDGE

There was a cylinder wall breach causing coolant intrusion in to the engine. It’s issue is extremely common with the 2.0 ecoboost engines. My service engine light came on and I checked all fluids coolant was low and it was showing a misfire in cylinder #3. Replaced the park plug and added coolant and service engine light when off so I kept driving it. A couple days later I was driving and my car started over heating on a highway causing significant loss of power having to pull over to the side of the road to avoid an accident with my grand children in the car [XXX] and a [XXX] . Check engine light is on again check the codes and now misfire in cylinder 4 and crank shaft position is off. I took it to a ford dealership and the only fix is to replace the engine at 90,000 miles??? This repair will cost (($8500)). I haven’t had the car inspected by police or insurance company. Thank God it didn’t cause an accident or catch fire do to my rapid response otherwise this could have caused a fire or accident or even the loss of life for me or my grandchildren. I can’t believe Ford is allowed to sell these vehicles with this much of a threat to the people that are driving them. My vehicle has to sit because I can’t afford an $8000 hit right now. It’ll render me homeless….I am currently making a $600 car payment and $145 insurance payment on a car that is technically totaled. I’m asking for rides to work and there are days that I don’t make it to work. I have tried to tread in the vehicle but only getting $4000 for the tread in??? My 2018 Edge AWD with leather interior is in mint condition minus the engine issue that they were aware of. This should be illegal!!
