ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My engine light came on for the first time on a Thursday, Jan 13, 2022. I had an appointment for an oil change with an independent service center on Saturday (1/15/22) & asked them to do a diagnostic check prior to the oil change. They found a code for PO303 Misfire on cylinder 3. They recommended a coolant pressure test per TSB 19-2208. The test was done the following Monday (1/17/22) and they found coolant leaking into cylinder. Replacement of the long block engine assembly per TSB 19-2208 was recommended. Engine was replaced by independent service center (completed 1/25/22). My safety & the safety of others was put at a high risk with this defect in the engine. When the coolant pressure test was done, it took less than 1 hour for all of the coolant to leak into the cylinder. Prior to my engine light coming on, I had no indication of any issue. However, Ford was definitely aware of this issue, since they issued the TSB on June 26, 2019. A vehicle that is less than 5 years old should not need a new engine.

Potential Consequences:
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle would intermittently vibrate and shake without warning upon depression of the brake pedal. One day as she approached a stop light, the vehicle began to stall upon depression of brake pedal with the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel.

Upon investigation, her father then discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V390000 (Power Train) which he linked to her failure. The manufacturer was notified and informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 123,000.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
In early December, the vehicle was at approximately 80,000 miles and scheduled for an oil change. A CEL illuminated the day before the oil change. Firestone changed the oil and advised that two codes came on during a code scan: P0302 and P0316. I made an appointment at Complete Car Car for their first available appointment a week out. In the intervening week, the vehicle had a rough idle for the first thirty seconds after startup. The second mechanic pulled the same codes and put a scope into the engine. The scope confirmed that there was a crack in the No. 2 cylinder that was allowing coolant into the engine. They advised that the car would likely need a new engine. They provided TSB 19-2346 and recommended I take the vehicle to the Ford dealership for further investigation. Classic Ford states that the vehicle will require a new engine at a cost of $7,500. Dealership cautioned against any additional miles being put on car, since a failure could result in damage to transmission. Will ask dealership for photos of damage engine components, but current engine will be kept by dealership once new engine arrives.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
A warning lamp for the power train came on while traveling on the highway (Wrench indicator). We stopped to check the owners manual for the meaning of the wrench indicator. After seeing it was for the power train, we started back up and headed towards Edgefield (where we live) and get to the closest Ford dealer. After starting the vehicle back up, the warning lamp was no longer lit. While accelerating to highway speeds entering the highway, the engine flex plate gave out and all power from the engine was lost. The vehicle still kept power to the electrical systems (Power steering, A/C, lights, etc.) but no power was being pushed to the wheels. Had the incident happened at full highway speeds, it is unknown what damage could have occurred. This is the assumption from myself due to the symptoms provided from the vehicle at the halt. Symptoms include: Grinding/Rattling sound from the rear of the engine, sounds more prevalent at idle and when shifting into gear, loss of power to wheels, and no other systems have issue after incident. Vehicle is currently at Herlong Ford (SC Ford Dealer) awaiting diagnostic and possible maintenance after the incident. I would assume the vehicle would be available for inspection upon request. After conducting research, we are now aware of a known recall on this specific vehicle for its age and time of manufacturing. The owned vehicle falls into the criteria for the recall but it is unknown why it is not noted on the vehicle history/Ford recall center. The vehicle was manufactured at the Oakville plant, falls within the recall years 2013-2018, and has shown all symptoms pertaining to the recall that is open on other vehicles.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
head gasket engineering defect - failed. - coolant leaking in cylinder - engine cracked - only 67,000 miles - was under warranty on years but over on mileage by 7,000 - refused to assist with cost of replacing engine - out of pocket cost close to 11,000 - 2,000 (recouped 1500) was for diagnosis from local garage and 9,000 for engine at Ford Dealership. No assistance with rental car, as well. Replacing engine lead time is 3 months! This is the only vehicle in household. Ford is aware of the engineering defect - has recently revised engineering to correct - a recall should be performed on cars from 2016 thru 2018 with Ford. The consumer should NOT be responsible for an engineering defect. These problems can surface as quick as 20,000 miles. Again! Coolant leak in cylinder destroyed the engine. Where are the Technical Service Bulletins on these vehicles!!? Prestine maintenance records follow this car - no fault of consumer - this is 100 percent Ford's fault. These need to be recalled immediately before a fatal accident occurs.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Potential Consequences:
While driving on August 8, 2021, I heard a pop on my 2071 Ford Edge panoramic tempered glass roof. I subsequently found a crack/break when I was cleaning the glass roof. I notified the Ford Dealership (FD) (Lithia Ford of Fresno California) on my next oil change on December 15, 2021. Based on my ocular inspection the crack/break appears to emanate from a bubble in the tempered glass roof as opposed to FD’s opinion that object impact caused the cracking. In my online research, cracking, popping and even exploding without impact have happened to tempered automotive glasses have occurred across different vehicle models across different vehicle manufacturers. The presence of bubbles in the manufacturing process have caused weak points across the surfaces of many tempered automotive glass resulting in cracking, breaking, popping and exploding. When this occurs, vehicle occupants as well as other moving motorists could be injured. The tempered automotive glass that exhibit bubbles should not be installed by vehicle manufacturers like Ford. Intensified quality control of tempered automotive glass should be done by vehicle manufacturers before these are installed. Tempered panoramic glass roofing ( sunroof & moonroof) found with bubbles that are installed in all vehicles should be inspected and replaced if necessary to prevent injury to vehicle occupants and moving motorists.
