Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
August of 2024 I took my vehicle to Island Street Automotive in Stoughton Mass because my engine light kept going off and off. The test showed the cylinder one misfire. They change the spark plugs and cylinder. However, I ended up taking the vehicle back 3 times for the same issue and experienced the same results. By now the check engine light was on all the time. I then realized a week or so later that the coolant was empty. For the next couple of weeks I continued replacing the coolant and had an auto shop look to see where the coolant could be going but they could not figure it out. There wasn't any leaking out of the vehicle. Soon my vehicle would begin shaking at the start up with the engine light blinking and then it would go solid. I decided to take the vehicle to Herb Chambers Lincoln of Norwood where I purchased the vehicle. They never mentioned that there was a bulletin out on this vehicle when I purchased it. It took them 3 days to diagnose. I was told the engine had to be replaced and needed a long block assembly. The charge would have been $8,634.31 plus tax. I called CarShield to put in the claim and they denied it because they found a bulletin out on the engine and stated it was a manufacturers error so they would not honor the claim. I called Lincoln directly and spoke about this issue but they blew me off and said there were no programs to help me pay for the cost of fixing the problem. I reluctantly chose to take the vehicle to North End Motors in Canton. They came up with the same conclusion. The engine was built with an open block and they needed to replace it with a closed block engine because the coolant was leaking into the oil. The charge was $7,494.72 plus tax, less than Herb Chambers. I chose to have the vehicle repaired with much anguish. I was not responsible for the issue with this vehicle but had to pay the astronomical cost. Thank you for reading.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Bought this 2017 Lincoln MKC with 75K miles on 2/21/25. Four days later while driving to work an engine light came on. Continuing on to work the car started running poorly while crossing a rail road track. Seemed like it was gonna quit running right there on the track. Then it started running like it did before except now there is a wrench starting blinking on my instrument panel. Had the engine code checked at O’Riley’s and was informed it was number 3 cylinder misfiring as they recommend a new spark plug and coil. While they checked the code I called the dealer where I purchased the vehicle and I have an appointment scheduled for 10 AM tomorrow. I’m sure they will install a new plug and coil and send me on my way knowing my warranty will be ending in a few more hundred miles . I’ve researched the issue and know the motor needs changed and it should be ford to recall them. I’m handicap now and won’t be able to afford to fix it or buy another vehicle. This isn’t right and does needs to step up to the plate and accept responsibility for their mistake.

Potential Consequences:
The coolant intrusion into cylinder #2 . Very well known problem with Ford EcoBoost engines. This car has the 2.0L engine and there hasnt been a recall on it yet. It becomes a safety concern when the problem gets bad enough to allow oil to leak , causing a engine fire. The problem was diagnosed by a Lincoln dealer. No, it was not inspected by the manufacturer but my dealer did communicate the issue to Ford. There were check engine lights because this causes a cylinder misfire as the coolant leaking into the cylinders is burned. We already had the problem repaired by replacing the engine long block assembly which cost $8176.93 .

Potential Consequences:
My car was vibrating and shifting weird. I recently repaired the brakes thinking that was the source of the vibration however the vibration escalated and the car shakes violently when stopped and jerk forward after releasing the brakes. My mechanic said this was a known issue with my model and pointed me to Customer Satisfaction Program 20N07. I spoke with Ford who indicated my VIN was not eligible for this CSP.
