The car was sounding a little rough also. When they called me, I was expecting a tune up or just a sensor issue, but I was told that I needed a new engine!  The tech found dtc P0302 for misfire on cylinder number 2, found coolant on spark plug.  Cylinder #2 was cracked and leaking coolant into it.  Was told it would lead to catastrophic failure.  Was told I needed a long block replacement at the tune of $9,000.  The service tech called Ford to help with the costs, but since I didn't have an extended warranty, they wouldn't do anything.  The car has been barely driven and taken well care of.  I bought it in 2019 with 12k miles and now in 2026 it only has 69k miles.  I have researched and found out that this is a systemic issue.  Had I not replaced the engine it could of been catastrophic!  I have been with Ford since I started driving in the early 80's.  This is unacceptable.  According to several reports, this has been reported many times (maybe thousands?).  I wonder how many are NOT reported.  Ford needs to reimburse for the defective engine.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"LINCOLN","productModel":"MKZ","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
