2017 FORD EDGE

Coolant leak into cylinder. Manufacture defect. Known issue by Ford but will not cover any replacement as vehicle is out of warranty by 7000 miles. A 2017 with 67000 driven by a grandma 5 mph under the speed limit should not need a new engine. Engine light comes on. Misfires. Puffs of white smoke. Didn’t take to dealer as closest if 1/2 hour away. Took to local repair shop. They ran codes and said it is a known problem from Ford.

2012 FORD FUSION with 25880.0 miles

I was driving down the street and the vehicle coasted to a stop in the street. Engine was running at idle. Gas pedal had no response. Didn't see any fault indicators. Shifted to neutral. Pushed gas pedal several times with no response. After about 30 seconds gas pedal started working. Shifted to drive and drove to side of road. Drove vehicle to dealer. They pulled fault code P1285. Dealer replaced radiator fan and head temperature sensor. Working okay so far. (3 days)
