Lincoln Mkc 2019: Retiros, Quejas y Ley de Limón de California

Purchased a 2019 Lincoln MKC from Mazda and Stokes on Ashley phosphate in North Charleston, South Carolina. I was told that the vehicle had recalls and they identify the recalls about the battery and the rear camera when I asked was there anything else wrong with the vehicle, they said no when I drove the vehicle home after a few days the engine light came on. After doing some diagnostics at the dealership, it will discovered that there was a misfire in the engine. They did a complementary repair. It took a couple of days when I received the vehicle. I took it home and after about a week, the engine light came back on for the same problem after further diagnostic come to find out that if this problem persist is because of coolant intrusion come to find out that this is common among engines that are 2.0 L Eco boost engine engines in the 2019 Lincoln MKC. I am making a complaint because I found out also that I will not get reimburse my money. Neither will they take the vehicle back. I called the Lincoln dealership and they will not do a Goodwill repair so I purchased a car about three weeks ago with them, knowing this problem and did not disclose it to me or told me about it cause this is common knowledge for this vehicle and they sold it to me and now I have payments on a broke vehicle, which I can’t afford $11,000 new engine or a long block.

My 2019 Lincoln MKC has the widespread coolant intrusion engine defect acknowledged by Ford. This is a premature internal engine failure due to design.

NHTSA #11715842

Ford's 2.0L EcoBoost engine has seen recalls and technical service bulletins (TSBs) primarily for coolant intrusion leading to engine failure, affecting models like the 2017-2019 MKC with issues stemming from a block design flaw and faulty head gaskets that allow coolant into cylinders, causing overheating, corrosion, and potential engine fires. This vehicle is confirmed to have coolant intrusion in the cylinders, resulting in premature engine failure.

NHTSA #11716109

Vehicle overheated, due to collant entering #1 cylinder. This coolant intrusion is apparently a well documented issue, from an acknowledged engine defect. (TSB 19-2346, TSB 22-2133) Ford dealership recommended an $11,000 + tax engine replacement, with no relief, as car is past its warranty. The vehicle has 58540 miles. Lincoln customer service also declined any goodwill repair. Independent Service Dealer (Craig’s Auto Repair Service 281-469-5949) first diagnosed the issue, recommended taking the vehicle to Ford Dealership (Tomball Ford).

ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO COOLANT INTRUSION TSB22-2229 DEALER SAID THIS TYPE OF FAILURE IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FORD/LINCOLN CORP REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR .

NHTSA #11722249

My 2019 Lincoln MKC with only 52,200 miles experienced unrepairable engine damage due to an internal coolant intrusion condition that directly matches Ford TSB 22-2229. On or around Jan 1st or 2nd, a check engine warning light came on as I was driving home at night. I did not drive my car any further except to the dealership for service on 1/5/2026. The engine failure was diagnosed by the dealership on 1/6/2026. This engine failure occurred well below a reasonable engine life expectancy, and is caused by a documented design defect. The manufacturer’s refusal/delay in recalling these engines with a known design defect places drivers at risk of being stranded at any time of day or night, and drivers risk becoming a road hazard to themselves and others when experiencing complete engine failure.

NHTSA #11712204

The head gasket has failed, leading to coolant intrusion into the number 2 cylinder. Several misfires occurred due to this. This is a known issue due to the design of the lower block, which uses a channel, thus causing a very small surface area for the head gasket between the channel and the cylinder, which accelerates wear. Spent $3,000 to fix this well-known design issue. Car at ~100k miles.

NHTSA #11725936

2019 Lincoln MKC with 96K mileage suddenly started running rough around 30mph and I was losing power as I was entering a highway on a ramp. RPM needle was fluctuating between 2K and 3K. Immediately drove back home and towed it to Lincoln shop. They said its an issue with Coolant Intrusion into the engine compartment and would have to replace the engine block. Estimated at $11K. Extended warranty company said claim is likely to be denied as these Ecoboost 2.0L engines are notorious for these issues. It is a faulty manufacturing and there is no recall. Costing consumers thousands of dollars and also putting lives of passengers at risk.

NHTSA #11705293

My initial reason I took the car to the dealership, was because the vehicle would not want to start or stay running after fuel was put in. I aIso had a check engine light on. After the dealership performed diagnostics on it, they said the purge valve was bad which was the cause of it not starting. The check engine light was on because it was low on coolant. So I scheduled another appointment with Wyatt Ford in Manistee MI 49660 on Dec 1, 2025. They performed a coolant pressure test and determined that it is losing pressure after shutdown. They cannot find a leak. They removed the spark plugs, but #3 spark plug is "stuck" and they are attempting to remove it. If the spark plug breaks, they will take more of the engine apart to access it and attempt to "tap" out the threads of it. The technician (Sherman) told me that the cause of it being stuck could be due to the fact of the coolant leaking into that cylinder. Sherman was able to remove the #3 spark plug and found coolant in that #3 cylinder. They are now saying that the engine does need replaced and it is not safe to drive. The service department (Ava) gave me Ford Customer Service number to call to start a case. I called 800-392-3673 and spoke with Alex. She told me she will do some further research and call me back in about two hours. It is now 12:30 pm east coast time. After returning a call from her, she said that there are no programs at this time with Ford to assist with replacing the engine. Only if there is a recall on this is when they would be able to replace it for us.

Lincoln 2019 MKC reserve head gasket problem check engine light on. Took to dealership and confirmed with compression test that it was TSB – 22–2229 had to replace engine with new long block. Lincoln Corporate Assistance paid some 2835.10 I paid $4265.05

My car misfired, then the heat wouldn't work then started to overheat. The car is 2019 MKC 2.0L engine. Only 64k miles on it. I am the original owner. Took it to the dealership and they said the coolant has back up into the engine. I read that this has been a known issue with these engines and was never notified. It is going to cost 10k to replace this engine.

NHTSA #11702879

The 2019 Lincoln MKC model made prior to April 2019 is part of a variety of Ford/Lincoln manufactured models that are known to have a coolant intrusion issue. This causes various issues within the engine system such as head gasket failure, cracked cylinders, and cracked engine block causing the coolant to leak and potential for fire risk. Although check engine light warning will be present, the code is presented as a misfire and the suggested fix is to replace spark plugs and coils. This will be completed, and seem to resolve this issue however, it is temporary and problems continue to persist. The car will loose power while driving and be unable to accelerate or continue to keep consistent speed such as when driving on freeway. Despite having a TSB 22-2133, customers are not made publicly aware of this issue and if they do not fit within warranty timeframe the dealer will not complete recommended service of the issue. Therefore, the customer is not at fault for the unsafe, known manufacturing issue and therefore Ford/Lincoln should make the effort in correcting this prior to serious customer injury/death.

Engine seizes while driving and chokes due to engine misfire. First occurence was at 34kmiles in 9/2023 and when brought for emissions check mechanic said needed new spark plugs/coil so had them replaced for $800. 3-4months later after only 1k miles check engine light goes on again and car hums/rattles like it will stall. My brother runs diagnosis and same issue and that’s when I started to do research and found that Lincoln MKC 2019 have known engine issues. As it was under warranty until dec 2024, I brought to Steven’s Ford in Milford CT and raised this engine issue and specifically asked for full repair to ensure issue is fixed. 18 months later on 11/12/2025, while driving car the engine starts to hum and rattle feel like it will seize and check engine light goes on again. Same issue from when I had repair under warranty but Lincoln dealer claims it’s a parts issue and not an engine issue. These vehicles are dangerous and can cause accident due to engine just stopping. Dealership and Lincoln refuse to provide any support.

NHTSA #11718003

Total Engine Failure due to coolant leak into the 2.3L Ford motor. This is a KNOWN issue with the Ford motors and it is not covered. This eventual coolant leak makes the owner have to buy and replace the engine with one that has similar issues and costs $8300+. This is unacceptable and Ford needs to cover and address. Never had an engine do this to me before and it’s horrible. Please hold Ford accountable. Navy AD and with the shit down, this will be an expense I can not cover with 3 children, one in college. Was planning on keeping this car till the filter falls off… not anymore I guess.

NHTSA #11695729

The engine light came on. It was inspected and there is a coolant intrusion. Apparently, this was a known issue for this engine. There is an existing Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 22-2229 and a Ford Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP) 21N12 related to this issue The program indicates up to 7 years or 84k miles, which I believe this falls under (my mileage is 42k) providing a one-time repair program providing a no-cost short block replacement. Ford is not cooperating.

NHTSA #11691373

Coolant leak, no warning overheating car turned off,needs new engine,coolant leak into cylinder ,only 62000 miles on the car

NHTSA #11683826

The vehicle has now been at the dealership for almost two weeks. I drove the car in under its own power and was shocked to learn that it needs a new engine (long block) due to a known issue described in a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 19-2346 After doing my own research, I discovered that this is a widespread problem with the Ford 2.0L engine, and the dealership confirmed this by stating they’ve replaced hundreds due to this defect. I then contacted Ford directly, but was told by customer service that the vehicle is out of warranty, and nothing could be done. The Ford case number is [XXX]. Let me be clear: this is not normal wear and tear. A major engine failure at only 63,000 miles is completely unacceptable — especially in a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle, which I was sold as reliable transportation. I now realize that Ford and its dealers have been knowingly selling vehicles with a manufacturing defect, without taking responsibility when those vehicles inevitably fail. This is a documented defect in the engine block, as acknowledged by Ford in the TSB. Yet there is no recall. Why? This issue poses a serious safety risk, not to mention a massive financial burden for consumers who trusted Ford’s certification and quality standards. It is deeply concerning that Ford has chosen to avoid accountability, leaving owners like myself to pay for expensive repairs stemming from your own design flaw.

There’s a cracked block/head gasket causing coolant to leak into the cylinders and now my engine needs to be replaced.

NHTSA #11694422

My 2019 Lincoln MKC with a 2.0L EcoBoost engine experienced coolant intrusion into cylinder 2, leading to engine misfire, check engine light, and severe vibration. The dealership confirmed the issue and recommended a full long block engine replacement, estimated at over $11,000. This failure occurred at only 48,000 miles. This appears to be the exact issue described in Ford TSB 19-2346, which covers 2017–2019 model year vehicles with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, including the Lincoln MKC and MKZ. The TSB acknowledges a design-related coolant leak into the engine cylinders that can cause white smoke, misfire, rough running, and warning lights. Ford’s recommended repair is to replace the long block assembly. I believe this is a widespread design defect and request NHTSA’s investigation to ensure proper manufacturer accountability.

NHTSA #11673753

The engine on my 2019 Lincoln MKC (2.0L EcoBoost) suffered a sudden internal failure without warning shortly after the factory powertrain warranty expired. The vehicle had no prior drivability issues, no warning lights, and had been maintained on schedule. While driving, the engine began running roughly and quickly lost power. The vehicle became unsafe to operate and had to be towed. The dealership diagnosed the engine as having internal mechanical failure requiring complete engine replacement. I was told the failure was not due to maintenance and that the engine could not be repaired. The failure occurred only weeks after the 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty period ended. This appears consistent with other reported EcoBoost engine failures involving internal defects such as coolant intrusion, low-tension piston rings, or block-related issues. A sudden loss of power while driving presents a safety hazard, especially in traffic or at highway speeds. I am submitting this complaint so NHTSA is aware of this engine failure pattern and the safety risk associated with unexpected engine shutdowns on these vehicles.

NHTSA #11728019

only 69,000 miles and have engine failure. Car shut down on the highway and put me and my child in a very dangerous situation. Dealership diagnosed it as coolant intrusion into the engine. Seems to be a widely known problem with the MKC. The engine now must be replaced and the cost is more than the car is worth.

NHTSA #11668103

2019 MKC - Purchased from Lincoln last year used 20k. Known coolant intrusion into the engine. Clouds of white smoke in exhaust and coolant leak. Misfire. Requires replacement per TSB Ford replaced defective engines with exact same problem; Customer Satisfaction Program 21N12 Certain 2017-2019 Model Year Fusion and Escape Vehicles Equipped with a 1.5L GTDI Engine – Short Block Replacement After Coolant Intrusion, PROGRAM TERMS This program provides a no-cost, one-time repair (if needed) to the 1.5L short block, due to coolant intrusion to the cylinder bores, for 7 years of service or 84,000 miles from the warranty start date of the vehicle, whichever occurs first. ...........but has not helped Lincoln Customers with the exact same issue.

NHTSA #11664550

Was uninformed about previous recalls to this same make and model that took place prior to me getting this vehicle. Was told by Ford dealership recently once I took the vehicle for diagnostic for engine light being on that coolant has been leaking into the engine and would require a brand new engine. This has been a manufacture issue that ford has been made aware of years ago and has done absolutely nothing about.

NHTSA #11656839

I started my car with no prior warning light or malfunction alerts on my dashboard or Lincoln phone app. Upon shifting into drive, the vehicle began shaking severely, accompanied by a loud rattling noise for the first time. I had the car towed to a Lincoln dealership, where they evaluated the issue (see attached file for their conclusion). Seeking a second opinion, I had it towed again to an independent service center, where they determined that a cracked electrical plug caused a transmission fluid leak. The defect put our safety at risk, as I was unknowingly driving with transmission fluid levels below the minimum and blackened oil. As a result the transmission had to be replaced.

NHTSA #11646921

COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE EMGINE BLOCK THAT RESULTED IN THE ENGINE BEING DAMAGED SO IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED ON JULY 2022 AND ONLY HAS 17500 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH MANY LINCOLN KMC'S. I THINK LINCOLN SHOULD PAY FOR ENGINE REPLACTMENT.

My Lincoln MKC 2019 2.0 EcoBoost with just 37k miles show and engine light. Dealership diagnostic was PC0301. Misfire on the cylinder number 1. The solution? Engine replacement with a cost of $9,000 USD. Due to a well know problem. Coolant leak. I can not afford to pay this amount, and unfortunately the vehicle is not under warranty. Ford Motor Company knows this issue and still isn’t doing anything to help owners that are out of warranty. Surely is not a problem cause by the user, is a defect from factory. This problem also affects Canadian market and Mexico.

My car has been in and out of the shop since I purchased it, while still under the company’s warranty. I have went months without my vehicle at times. I feel these issues were directly related to a known engine failure/faulty engine by the manufacturer. My car was in a shop for nearly two months due to a rough idle without any diagnosis because it wasn’t producing a code. I brought the vehicle back in around a month later due to the same rough idle and was told the vehicle needed a new purge valve. Currently, my vehicle is at a Ford dealership waiting for a new engine to be installed. My vehicle was misfiring at start up, but my check engine light never illuminated. My coolant reservoir was completely empty. I found out that coolant was leaking into the engine compartment. I have been without my vehicle for a month now. At minimum Ford/Lincoln should be reimbursing the cost of my replacement engine since this is a known issue. Overall, I feel this should fall under a recall. I have a two year old daughter and driving this vehicle was a safety risk. Had I known about these issues I would not have purchased the vehicle. Ford/Lincoln failed to disclose that these vehicles have a defect that causes coolant to leak into the engine’s cylinders, which can cause corrosion, oil dilution and contamination, and engine failure. Ford/Lincoln failed to disclose these defects create a safety risk, because the lack of coolant created by the leaks causes overheating and can result in the cylinder head cracking, total engine failure, and/or engine fires.

One morning I started the car and it was running rough. Soon after the engine light went on. We contacted the Ford dealership and they advised us that they could not examine the vehicle until next week and advised us to go to the local car dealership who would run a diagnostic and we code take the results to the dealership and they would check the error code for what may be causing the engine light to come on. We took the car to a local car parts store who ran a diagnostic then took the error code to the local Ford dealership who informed us that the error code showed a problem with misfire of some kind and they could not look at the car until the follwowing week. The dealership stated it was okay to drive the car until next week when they can look further into the problem. We drove the car for a few days when the car showed that it was overheating. We then took the car to a car parts store near by (different from the previous car part store) who found the car was low on antifreeze and refilled the car with antifreeze. A few days later the Ford dealership examed the car and found the engine was leaking antifreeze into the cylinder. The dealership infomed us that service advisory that this was a know problem with this Make and Model of vehicle and stated this was a "design flaw" with this engine.

My 2019 Lincoln MKC has a coolant leak internal the engine. It is a known issue listed on the TSB (Technical Service Bulletin), however, Lincoln does not want to knowingly issue a recall. It has been informed as well per a Lincoln Dealership Service Advisor that several Lincoln’s have been in the dealership with this specific issue In which they feel that Lincoln should issue a recall, however, has not due to them not wanting to be responsible for replacing multiple engines due to the financial expense. I have spoken to Lincoln corporate in which they agreed to assist with the expense, however, will not cover the full amount. I have researched as well as paid over $600 to have a Auto shop confirm that the issue being experienced is not something that one can cause themselves directly to a vehicle regardless of the mileage. This is a 2019 Lincoln MKC in which should absolutely not be taking place as well unsafe and concerning with having a minor traveling in the vehicle. TSB 19-2208

https://abc7chicago.com/ford-lincoln-mkc-suv-recall-fire-concerns/13337855/ The issue stems from a battery monitoring sensor that, because of where it's placed in the vehicle, could get damaged when the battery or electric components around it are serviced. The damage could cause a short circuit that, because there's no fuse in the circuitry, could lead to overheating and a fire. The vehicles involved are model year 2015 through 2019 Lincoln MKC SUVs I am reporting this because of the article that was distributed (above). Per your site, I do not have a recall. Per the Lincoln dealer I do, but they cannot allow me to come in for remediation due to not having guidance from Lincoln yet. Raising further awareness that this is an issue.
