general problems of the 2018 Lincoln MKC

I was driving home from work on December 24th 2025 and my 2018 Lincoln Mkc 2. 3l shut off on me while I was in motion. There were several cars that had to swerve and not hit me. The car would not start but I was able to put the vehicle in neutral and roll to the shoulder of the road. I was very scared and angry because this vehicle only has 54,646 miles currently, give or take 50 miles. I had to get the towed to my home. This needs to be resolved and fird/Lincoln needs to faithfully fix this dangerous defect, I could have died. Please please do something because I do not want anyone else to deal with this.

The contact owns a 2018 Lincoln Mkc. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The contact was informed that the failure was due to coolant intrusion into the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. In addition, the contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 25v685000 (equipment); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

I purchased the automobile on [xxx] with 44,175 miles. When the engine light came on recently, I took it to the Lincoln dealer here in las vegas, paid $205 for the computer to be assessed, and was told the problem was coolant leaking into the engine. They were not able to start any repairs at that time. I was not told what it would cost to repair or the time involved. I assumed it was an air conditioning problem. I drove it a few days and the engine light went off, only to come back on. I then took it to aaa ($177 for the diagnosis), reporting that cylinder 3 had coolant leaking. Tech found TSB 19-2172 TSB. 19-2172 is for current symptoms of misfire at start-up. It was suggested that I take it to the Lincoln dealer. While driving the car home on [xxx], the engine was missing, chugging. I was afraid it would stall. I am thankful it did not stall on the freeway and that I made it home safely. When I called the Lincoln dealer to make an appointment to take the car in for service, I was told it would take three or four weeks to get it repaired, that the engine would have to be replaced for $7,800 - $9,800, and that Lincoln motor company will not take any responsibility. He said there were two other vehicles in line with the same problem. Due to being afraid to drive it, I had the car towed by aaa on Monday, October 7, 2024, to the Lincoln dealer and was told the estimate to repair it would be $8,493. This is a coolant intrusion issue due to a faulty design in the engine block where the cooling channels will crack and leak coolant into the piston chambers. As gleaned from the internet, this appears to have been an ongoing problem with this model. I've observed so far from the internet that Lincoln motor company is not taking responsibility for this faulty design affecting many Lincoln owners. I am [xxx], and living on a fixed income. I had to rent a car and put up a $735 deposit. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
