Coolant is leaking into cylinder 2 and the ford shop I dropped it off at today is currently running diagnostic. IT'S going to be the same issue that 1000s if not 100,000s of owners with the 2.0 ecoboost have; a replacement engine that Ford forces owners to cover the replacement engine themselves. My wife has had the car since about Aug 2022, still owes $23000 and now we have to figure out how to pay for engine. Engine
This engine is faulty. I purchased it and the cylinder cracked. This was diagnosed by the Ford dealer. The engine drove perfectly fine. Then I began having some hard shaking and jerking. The vehicle then overheated causing the check engine light to come on. This has been reported on other sites by multiple Ford owners.*Dt consumer also had issues with engine with low coolant level and white exhaust smoke.*Jb Engine · reported at 79,990 miles
