What owners wrote
“Coolant reservoir is disappearing and I have a check engine light on with a misfire code”

“The engine continually exhibits cylinder #2 misfiring, disappearing coolant, and rough idling. Efforts have been made, but these issues relate directly to a cracked block allowing coolant into the combustion chamber. The car has about 93,000 miles on it and has been meticulously maintained, but still the issues are getting worse and more frequent.”

“Check engine light appeared and the car ran rough. I took the car to an automotive repair shop. Spark plugs are misfiring into the cylinder causing coolant to leak into the engine. Then causing the engine block to crack. 2018 ford edge with only 38000 miles. The engine could start on fire and cause catastrophic failure. The car is not drivable and the mechanic cannot repair it without changing the whole engine out.”
