Intermittent p0302 cel codes fired for cylinder 2 misfire, over last month. Replaced plugs and coil, code cleared. Same cel indicator and code fired again. Symptoms are rough start up, coolant needing replenishment, took into dealer, coolant intrusion into cylinder 2 requiring engine replacement. This is obviously not an isolated incident with this 2. 3l ecoboost engine, what was know by ford to flawed during the 2017-2020 period. Two months after purchase of my 2017 mkc, had to have the short block replaced, under warranty, but the head was already warped and they replaced the head gasket on a warped block knowing it was only a matter of time that it started leaking. Now out of the range of that warranty and with looming $8k expense, not happy.

On multiple occasions when filling the car with gas the entire vehicle begins to shake and shuts off. There is no light or warning that comes on prior to this happening. During the malfunction a light on the left side of the control panel says to push the break for full power. However despite pressing on break it takes several attempts ( 5-10 ) to restart the vehicle. It stutter starts several times before starting and being forced into drive. This only happens when re fueling. I have added gas treatments as suggested with no relief. Last night the car powered down completely when i arrived home. The lights would not come on nor would the key unlock the doors and the power locks would not work to unlock the doors. Although this did not happen on the road while driving, i am afraid for the possibility that it can. I will take the vehicle to be inspected as i see a similar complaint here but no specific recall for this issue.
There's a fuel system gas delivery malfunction. Vehicle can be inspected per request. Car won't turn on right after having gas pumped. In one occasion while stopped at a red light the vehicle started making this strange loud noise on and off. I had to pull over at a parking lot nearby. The car also had a rolling motion feeling, the speed dial would be moving from 0-2 on its own while being stopped. My husband inspected the car and with a diagnostic device got error code p1450. There are existing recalls for same fuel gas problem for the same make and model and year as our vehicle but our vin number isn't included in those recalls. My check engine light first showed up mid or late february 2024 and early this month is when my car started showing problems, once while on the road and the other instances after pumping gas.
