Engine Cooling System problems of the 2016 Ford Edge

Hello, I'm on permanent disability and this my only car. It started with noticing white smoke coming out of the exhaust and a sweet smell. Also noticed the coolant getting low and had to keep adding more in with no visible leaks. I pulled cylinder one plug and put a bore a scope down it and found a crack in the cylinder wall. I found a web site that said there was a class action law suite miller vs. Ford for this issue, it told me to call these two dealer ships ted russel Ford and ray cunningham Ford to have my car fixed free of charge. The web site told me if they said no, to contact NHTSA and file a complaint. I also called NHTSA they told me to contact the state attorney office they suggested to also file a complaint to the state, and I did that. I found this information below that looks like the issue.

Overheat/power loss indication on 2016 Ford Edge with ecoboost 2. 0 resulting coolant leakage into #2 cylinder verified by dealer (failure per TSB 22-2229). Prior tsbs 19-2172, 19-2208, 19-2346, 22-2133 have been issued for same problem, but Ford did not assign our VIN to those bulletins. Problem should have been identified when vehicle was under warranty if TSB application were complete. We had p302 code (cylinder 2 misfire), so plugs/coils were replaced. 3 days later (12/26/23) we were traveling home from dinner (approx. 35 mph, about 3 miles from home) and got a "overheat" indicator with an indicator stating something similar to "engine loss of power" light.
