Consumer Description
I have approximately 53000 miles on my vehicle. The Engine light turned on end of Aug. So I took it to a service center. They said the message code was P306 & P0316. They inspected and said the cylinder is misfiring, coolant has gotten into the cylinder, and the gasket is mush. The engine is rough running and told me to take it to Ford, I will need a new engine. In searching this problem I found a TSB 22-2229 & an NHSTA 19-2208, 19-2172. Ford can't get me in until end of September to verify. I've found several references to this problem causing an engine fire, I also found a class action suit recently filed in California for this problem. Ford has not issued a recall for this problem and I don't understand. They redesigned the engine in 2021 as they knew it was a faulty design. I didn't know that. I don't have another vehicle to drive, meanwhile I'm making car payments on it. Ford won't provide a car for me to use. I don't want to drive my car with [XXX] knowing this problem could cause harm to me, them and others. Please advise. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
