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.

Already rebuilt the engine, turbo is garbage and the coolant will continue to leak with new engine because it’s a flawed design. They are fully aware but greed is more important than safety or a satisfied customer. I pray the are held accountable eventually. https://plaincars.com/make/lincoln-mkc https://plaincars.com/make/lincoln-mkc#complaint-2171575 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT The contact owns a 2019 Lincoln MKC.
