The vehicle had no prior drivability issues, no warning lights, and had been maintained on schedule. While driving, the engine began running roughly and quickly lost power. The vehicle became unsafe to operate and had to be towed.  The dealership diagnosed the engine as having internal mechanical failure requiring complete engine replacement. I was told the failure was not due to maintenance and that the engine could not be repaired. The failure occurred only weeks after the 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty period ended.  This appears consistent with other reported EcoBoost engine failures involving internal defects such as coolant intrusion, low-tension piston rings, or block-related issues. A sudden loss of power while driving presents a safety hazard, especially in traffic or at highway speeds.  I am submitting this complaint so NHTSA is aware of this engine failure pattern and the safety risk associated with unexpected engine shutdowns on these vehicles.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"LINCOLN","productModel":"MKC","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
