Ford scored channels between cylinders in an attempt to improve cooling, which allows coolant to degrade the head gasket and mix with engine oil. Symptoms included white smoke from the exhaust, coolant loss, rough idle, and a check engine light prior to failure. The coolant-oil contamination caused engine performance degradation and risk of sudden failure while driving, endangering myself and other motorists. The engine drained all coolant unbeknownst to me while driving, causing the car to overheat and causing damage to the head gasket. Car had to be pulled over and towed to a shop. Head gasket was repaired, but the issue continued and more coolant was found in the engine oil in 2026. Coolant constantly has to be replenished after driving. The failure was confirmed by an independent mechanic. The vehicle has not been inspected by Ford or NHTSA. Ford has not issued a recall for this known defect despite widespread reports from 2015\u20132019 Edge, Fusion, and other EcoBoost 2.0 owners experiencing identical failures. I am filing this complaint to contribute to the pattern of evidence needed to compel a formal NHTSA investigation and potential recall action.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"EDGE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
