Service Manager Jeff St. Germain was very understanding of our concerns with our 2016 Ford Edge with a 2.0 Ecoboost engine that was experiencing an MIL -engine light code P0302 - Cylinder #2 misfire and coolant leak with white smoke emitting from the exhaust. He properly advised us on his recommendations to have service tech Mike June run the proper diagnostics and check the cylinder of the engine with a bore scope. Service writer Samantha Marks was very courteous and professional when providing us with a loaner vehicle during vehicle diagnostics and options to consider for repair service for our Ford Edge based on the diagnostics and advice of service tech Mike June and Jeff St. Germain. Engine cylinder head was positive for engine coolant leaking into cylinder #2 and bypassing the piston rings (engine oil totally contaminated with coolant). We knew that Ford was receiving complaints about engine coolant leaks into the cylinders with the 2.0 Ecoboost as well as the 1.5 and 1.6L Ecoboost. In fact, the second TSB - Manufacturer Communication Number: TSB 19-2208 released in June 2019 by Ford/Lincoln refers to : TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
2.0L EcoBoost - Coolant In Cylinders, White Exhaust Smoke And/Or Illuminated MIL 19-2208

We just purchased our 2016 Ford Edge in July of 2019. After 4 months of ownership we had an engine failure. We were out of warranty and are now burden with a repair bill for a new engine - long block and labor, which we paid in full, for a total of $6731.08. Unfortunate for us as loyal Ford and Lincoln owners (we also own a 2008 Lincoln MKX AWD - Excellent vehicle with 130,000 miles and a 2003 Ford Ranger XL 2WD with 100.000 miles).
Summit Ford-Lincoln Service was exceptional. A total of 10 days for diagnostic services and engine removal/ replacement while being provided with a loaner vehicle during repairs.
Thank you Jeff, Samantha, and Mike for exceptional service! All of you are valued representatives/employees of Summit Ford and the 'Blue Oval" of Ford Motor Company. read more
