NHTSA Complaint #11644487 — 2018 FORD EDGE

Driving to work & the vehicle started to behave like it was running out of gas, kind of a jerky motion. I was able to get an appointment @ the local dealership, they diagnosed it as having a cracked block by cylinder #3 causing coolant to enter the cylinder. This vehicle just turned 80k miles and was service for the same thing 6 months prior, same cylinder. There was no mention of a common problem with Ecoboost design flaws until the Service Advisor shared the info with me. A new engine had to be replaced @ a cost of almost $8000. A 2018 vehicle with a perfect maintenance record and only 80k miles should be needing a total engine replacement. Ford should back their products. I essentially bought a used Edge according to Blue Book and in reality bought my car twice.
