What owners wrote
Engine overheated and started on fire completely destroyed . Vehicle was not involved in any accident and was recently 22 days prior completely checked out by the dealership for a engine coolant recall.
Check engine light keeps coming on saying that its engine misfire in cylinder 2. . My mechanic replaced the spark plug it happened again, we replaced the coil and it did it again. Finally they told me that the coolant was leaking into the cylinder which is causing a misfire and therefore has also cracked the block on the engine. I get home and there is a notice from ford. Recall 19b37 to reprogram this issue. I scheduled the update to be done and ford tells me I need a new engine now.
