Ecoboost Coolant Intrusion. 2.0L Ecoboost engines common in (2015-2018) models suffer from a design flaw where the coolant leaks directly into the combustion cylinders. Took my car to to Ford repair shop Lucas Ford on [XXX] in New Jersey and they said I need a new engine due to this exact flaw. I was quoted $9000.
