NHTSA Complaint #11636542 — 2018 FORD EDGE

Vehicle began to rough idle, and then while driving the vehicle MIL came on, as well as a "Engine overheat throttle limited" error. Pulled over and vehicle would not move. Tried to power cycle the vehicle and would not start back up. Had it towed to dealer and was told this was the long block coolant intrusion problem that leader to my engine completely failing. I was made aware of Ford TSB 19-2346, and told the repairs would be $9200. After googling around, this is a common problem on these 2018 ford ecoboost engines and Ford obviously knows there is a problem that could cause accidents or engine fires. Luckily my kids were not in the car, otherwise this could have been catastrophic due to the loss of power while driving. I called Ford support and they told me that Ford has no programs to help affected customers. There should be a Recall and Ford should be forced to replace or repair affected engines as this will get someone killed if they lose power or have an engine fire while driving.
