My vehicle has experienced the well-documented coolant intrusion defect that allows engine coolant to leak into one or more cylinders. This defect has resulted in engine misfires, coolant loss without any visible external leak, and ultimately complete engine failure, leaving the vehicle inoperable.  A Ford dealership previously diagnosed the vehicle and confirmed that coolant was leaking into one of the engine\u2019s cylinders. The recommended repair was replacement of the entire engine, at an estimated cost of several thousand dollars. This diagnosis was made after the vehicle began exhibiting symptoms consistent with internal coolant intrusion, including rough running and loss of coolant. The vehicle has since deteriorated to the point that it no longer runs.  This is not an isolated incident. Numerous owners of 2015-2018 Ford Edge vehicles equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine have reported identical failures. There is significant public documentation of this defect, including technical service bulletins, owner complaints, and ongoing litigation alleging that Ford knew of the defect. The issue appears to stem from the engine block design rather than normal wear and tear or poor maintenance.  This defect presents a serious safety concern. An engine can begin misfiring or lose power unexpectedly while driving, increasing the risk of being stranded in traffic or involved in a collision. In many cases, owners receive little warning before the engine becomes unsafe or completely fails. The cost of repair is extremely high because the recommended solution is replacement of the entire engine rather than repair of a single component.  I respectfully request that the NHTSA investigate this defect and determine whether a safety recall is warranted. Consumers should not be responsible for the cost of replacing an engine that fails due to an apparent manufacturing or design defect.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"EDGE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
