One morning got in SUV for work. The SUV was hesitant about cracking as if starter was going so I thought, also had a small knocking/ticking noise after turning again it cranked. After a few days the engine light came on and wouldn't go off. Took the vehicle to the dealership to check and I was told that I needed an engine . The dealership found that cyclinder 2 miss fire nad traced and found coolant in cyclinder. I took the vehicle to a second shop for a second opinion thinking this can't be I only had it for a year and a few months. Second auto shop said same thing your vehicle need a motor. The second shop performed a pressure test found that after applied pressure dropped 7 psi Removed spark plugs and found evidence of coolant in cylinders.
Repeated 'misfire in cylinder 2' error code - from what i've seen online, this may mean that coolant is leaking into the engine block and can cause total engine failure. about 77,000 miles currently. Will be taking to dealership in a couple days, as it's a repeated issue and the dealership staff member we talked to said i shouldn't be driving the car, which we just bought in March 2021 from a used car Ford dealership.
