TSB 19-2346... Engine gives no warning until to late... Then multiple warnings and alarms happen all at once... says the car is overheating but before you have time to react (Like pulling over) the alarms clear... engine light is only warning on... This could cause the motor to seize or stop running loosing power steering and control... This has been known since 2019 when TSB-19-2346 was announced which means they knew sooner... Ford told me there is no known problem with this motor but TSB says other wise... There is no fix to problem.. Motor replacement is it... I purchased this car from ford Dealer 09/19/20 with 25000 miles... I never got any notice on the car and the problems it was having... now they want me to pay out of pocket for new motor $7000... we still owe $20000 on the car and its down...

Coolant leaking into the cylinder. Had it serviced at 69.4K miles with a radiator flush and 3,000 miles later the warranty has expired and we have coolant in the cylinder. The fix is an engine replacement, $11K. There is a technical bulletin out so they this is a common problem, however they seem to let the issue go without notification in hopes the warranty's expire.

The engine light came on and then the vehicle started to lose power

I started the vehicle, the sync system went through a restart, killing the engine and turning off the dashboard panels. It had happened before on a level surface, but this time I was on a 10-15% grade. I stopped again, turned the vehicle off and returned about 15 minutes later. I was on a slight hill, with the elevation lower in front of the vehicle. I started the car and stepped completely out within 10-15 seconds. I stepped outside the vehicle, which had been running for 10-15 seconds. The hatch was open and two friends behind could clearly see through the vehicle, to know that I didn't touch the push button transmission. The vehicle started rolling down the hill. I jumped in, but the brakes didn't work and the instrument panel was dark. It stopped rolling when it collided against a parked truck approximately 50 feet in front. The engine was off when it stopped. I think the recycle of the sync system caused an intermittent malfunction of the electrical system, causing the brakes, steering and pushbutton transmission to become non-operable. This resulted in damage of $8568 to my Mkc and of $1512 to the parked truck. Since this is an intermittent incident, it can't be replicated at a dealer even if it happened, it would be on a level surface and would not roll. I have driven the vehicle for an additional 7 months and 8,819 miles. The current mileage is 27,474. During that time, the vehicle has started and then gone through an electrical recycle which caused the engine to turn off at least 5 times. Two of those times were on a flat surface. I ran over a cooncrete curb a month ago. Tonight it happened in my driveway & ran up onto my front porch, which has a step up of about 6 inches. I called Lincoln concierge to report the 2nd incident. They told me that they could do nothing until the problem was recreated in a garage - or it kills or injures someone.

First noticed the problem when I had no heat blowing from my heater, (car was not overheating or anything), I checked my antifreeze and it was low so I added it and I had heat in my car again. Four days later, I had the same thing happen, no antifreeze (and again nothing showing my car overheating), added antifreeze and had heat again. Parked my car on a cement driveway and observed no antifreeze leaking, but there was a very strong and horrible smell of antifreeze burning coming from my exhaust also, think white smoke coming from the exhaust. Car is now waiting at the Ford dealer to find out what is wrong. Car only has 49,852 miles on it.

Car was in driveway. Auto stop feature was on. Foot was on brake, engine stopped idling. As I lifted my foot off the brake, the engine restarted and the A/C compressor engaged at the same time. The car lunged forward and hit a brick column causing over $2000 in damage.car was serviced at dealer for this problem. I was told there is no recall for this problem and the car did not "throw any codes". problem could not be replicated. Nothing was done to the car by the dealer for this problem.
