2019 LINCOLN MKC Engine Problems

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

On or about July 29, 2025, the check engine light illuminated in my 2019 Lincoln MKC Sport with a 2.0L EcoBoost engine. A mechanic inspected the vehicle on August 4, 2025, and confirmed coolant is entering cylinder one, likely due to a blown head gasket or, less likely, an engine block crack. Symptoms include coolant loss, potential misfiring, and the check engine light activation. The issue was identified through diagnostic testing (e.g., borescope inspection or compression test, pending specific results). No external coolant leaks were observed, indicating an internal engine failure. The vehicle has 89,516 miles and was purchased three months ago on May 5, 2025, from Ford City in Champaign, Illinois. Safety Concerns: Coolant intrusion into cylinder one risks engine misfiring, rough idling, or sudden power loss, which could cause engine stalling or failure during operation. This poses a serious safety hazard, as it may lead to loss of vehicle control, particularly at highway speeds or in traffic, endangering the driver, passengers, and other road users. The defect compromises the reliability of the 2.0L EcoBoost engine and requires costly repairs. Additional Context: • No known history of severe overheating exists, but maintenance records prior to purchase are unavailable. • The vehicle has no aftermarket modifications. • No crashes or injuries have occurred, but the issue emerged shortly after purchase, suggesting a possible pre-existing defect. • Similar coolant intrusion issues have been reported in earlier 2.0L EcoBoost engines (e.g., 2013–2016 Ford models), and this may indicate a recurring defect in the 2019 MKC. • I urge NHTSA to investigate whether this engine issue warrants a recall due to its potential safety impact.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2019 Lincoln MKC. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V378000(Engine); however, the part to do the repair was not yet available. No further information was available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Coolant intrusion to cylinder in the engine

Misfire of Cylynder 1 and then had it replaced. Still losing coolant and rough start intermittently. White smoke from exhaust

vehicle shaking when trying to start with me and my children in vehicle. Error code misfire of cylinder 1 and then smoke from exhaust. Just had it repaired in July

engine misfires, using up antifreeze PO302 PO316 Took to dealer, wanted to replace engine but I am 3 months out of warranty

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.

The coolant/ transmission fluid is found to be leaking into the engine. Now I to pay for a new engine when I have had the car 1 year and 8 months. I still owe $22,000 on the vehicle, and while it’s said that Lincoln knew about this problem, no recall was ever issued. I am 3,000 miles over the warranty, but there are no security message popping up to say this is a problem. The dealership said nothing is firing of to warn of a problem in the computer either. I had the oil changed 1 month ago but was not told or warned of an engine defect either ( I was under mileage that time). I am asking for assistance to replace this engine. I feel there should have been a recall to replace the models effected. Others have had their engines replaced free of charge I asking to extended that same courtesy free of charge. And a recall should be issued for theses bad engines when the problem was known prior to sale. I have purchased Ford vehicles in the past and but I was married at the time but he too has a LMKC right now. Please advise on some type of assistance. Thank you

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.

I purchased this vehicle less than 30 days. It had 29,257 miles. From day one, the vehicle came with no heating. When you push for heat, the cold AC blows. The part is in national back order. Secondly, when driving car at 20- 45 miles there is vibration, like a window is down when on a highway, but I'm driving in my neighborhood with all windows up. The vibration is unbearable. Thirdly and most importantly, when I slow to break, the car revs up, as if it won't stop. This is very unsettling. I'm never at ease because of this. This is a newer vehicle. There's a Toyota Camry 2011 and a Mitsubishi Outlander 2018 outperforming my newer Lincoln MKC 2019. I'm now afraid to drive the MKC because of the safety concerns. I just bought the car in October 5, 2022. I've reported this to corporate Lincoln. I don't understand why there hasn't been a recall. I do notice a flood of these vehicles in the market for sale. I'm afraid to drive this vehicle.

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

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY, SMOKE STARTED TO COME FROM THE HOOD. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MINUTES AFTER I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE SMOKE BECAME WORSE AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE SMOKE CONTINUED TO INTENSIFY AND STARTED TO COME THROUGH THE VENTS. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND SAW FIRE UNDERNEATH THE THE CAR. NOT TOO LONG AFTER THE ENTIRE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES, WHICH CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD TO BUST. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE FIRE REPORT (XXX)DEEMED THIS AS ACCIDENTAL AND BELIEVE A MECHANICAL FIRE.*DT ('PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).')*JB*JB

VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ERROR MESSAGE "THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN" APPEAREDIN ON THE DASHBOARD. HAD THERE BEEN A TRANSPORT TRAILER BEHIND US, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS DOING NOTHING FOR US. VERY DISAPPOINTING AS MY MOTHER NOW HAS TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT SHE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE!
