Consumer Description

I own a 2018 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. My engine recently failed and was diagnosed by a Ford dealership as suffering from coolant intrusion into the cylinders. This has resulted in engine misfires, overheating, coolant loss, and eventually a non-functional engine. This appears to be a widespread and well-documented issue across multiple Ford models and years, due to a design flaw in the engine block or head gasket area that allows coolant to enter the combustion chamber. I was not notified of any recall or service bulletin, yet this issue has caused major financial and safety concerns. There is currently a class-action lawsuit related to this defect, and Ford has not issued any official remedy despite knowing of the issue for years. I am submitting this report in hopes that NHTSA will investigate this defect and urge Ford to issue a recall or remedy before more consumers suffer unexpected engine failure.
