NHTSA Complaint #11651865 — 2020 FORD MUSTANG

On 03.29.25 (Saturday) the car started rough and the check engine light came on. I took it to the mechanic 03.31.25 (Sunday) and they inspected the car and told me that it is either the head gasket or the engine block is cracked because there is coolant intrusion into the cylinders. They asked me to call FORD customer service and ask if there was any way to cover it under warranty as the car only has 64K miles. I was told no, the warranty was 5yrs or 60K whichever came first and the 5 years was October of 2024. They suggested I file a report with the NHTSA. The vehicle right now is at the mechanic as I try to decide what I would like to do with it. If the engine failed when driving, I don't know what would have happened. There were no other symptoms to the problem prior to the failure. In fact, weeks earlier I had it inspected to see if any maintenance was needed and it got a clean bill of health.
