It impacts Escapes, Fusions, Edges, and some Lincoln vehicles.  They issued TSB # 22-2229 about this.  According to Ford, the only fix is to replace the engine.  The engine block has a design flaw that causes the head gasket to blow and cause severe coolant leakage into either cylinder 2 or 3.  Ford says to replace the Long block.  My vehicle had less than 70k miles on it and started having issues just a month or so after the warranty expired.  An engine should last much longer than this.  Now our vehicle may be worth $500 instead of about $9,000.  Ford knows this is an issue and there is significant information on the Internet about this.  Ford should have been forced to recall these engines.  From a safety standpoint, our engine fails to start at times.  The cylinder is so full of coolant at times, the engine won't turn over for a while.  We have to keep bumping the starter to get it to finally turn over.  We purchased this vehicle new from a Ford dealership.  The vehicle is otherwise in excellent condition and has had the oil changed every 4,000 miles, much less miles than required by Ford.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"ESCAPE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
