Engine code surfaced and told me i had a misfire. I took it to the shop and was told that coolant had leaked into the cylinder and i would have to replace the entire engine and would cost me $9,300. I called ford and even though there are recalls on similar vehicles with similar issues, there is not a recall on this particular vehicle.

Upon decelerating, my car stalled in traffic. I was driving on a suburban city street at approx. 35 mph, and decelerated to a complete stop. Upon pressing the gas to start going again, i noticed the engine had shut off. This is extremely unsafe, as a car that loses power while driving could cause a crash. I have taken my car to the dealership for inspection.
