Took the vehicle to an automotive repair shop and, after performing diagnostics, they advised the vehicle's engine coolant is leaking into the cylinders, which was the subject of a prior Technical Service Bulletin #19-2208 from Ford, and is a KNOWN DESIGN DEFECT with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine produced by Ford for this and other model vehicles.  After researching this issue I determined it was the subject of a prior recall, technical service bulletin, and class action lawsuit which lead Ford to offer free repairs of the engine block and extended warranty coverage to affected vehicle owners.  WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, TSB, OR CLASS ACTION and, therefore, were not aware of the problem and unable to take advantage of any corrective program.  Now, Ford Customer Service and the Ford dealership are both refusing to effect the necessary repairs without cost to me.  The vehicle's ENGINE has an ACKNOWLEDGED DESIGN FLAW that can cause misfires, hydro-locking, overheating, and total engine failure with a fire risk.  The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.  Safety risks to the driver, occupants and others is obvious.  The problem has been confirmed by a Firestone automotive repair shop.  No other inspections have occurred due to a fear of driving the vehicle.  The \"check engine\" light did activate when the problem first occurred, approximately 5 days ago (04/29/2026).","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"EDGE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
