Consumer Description

I have a 2017 Lincoln MKZ; coolant is leaking into the engine block; have to replace the entire engine. Car has 82K miles on it. Bad thing is that my daughter's Ford Fusion (2017) had the same problem just two months. I had to replace the engine in her car. It is clear that Ford/Lincoln has this problem, Stories on the internet. Ford did issue a recall but just for the 1.5 Liter car; both of mine were 2.0 liter. These engines should be recalled - should not be happening. Daughters car just has 45K miles on it.
