“A week prior to the engine light going on, I noticed the car running rough when stopped at a traffic light. I thought it was due to the extreme heat and the A/C running high. The check engine light went on in my 2018 Ford Edge on XXX. I took it to the dealer where I purchased it and they ran a diagnostic. Then they told me it was misfiring and nothing to worry about, and they would have the service department call me after the holiday to schedule maintenance. On Monday, XXX, [XXX] called me from Ford Service telling me to bring the car in and they would have a loaner available for me while they looked into the problem, so I did. Tuesday morning, XXX, Kevin from Ford service calls to tell me the coolant is leaking into cylinders and I will need a new engine, approximately $9-10,000. I bought the car new in 2018, with a few extras added thinking this would be the last car I would need to buy. However, I was wrong. In 2020, with less than 23,000 miles it needed a new transmission. Now with 72, 200 miles it needs a new engine. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)”
