“I got engine coolant leaking into cylinder #2 with error p0302. Car running rough and will not accelerate.

“Purchased car used from CarMax late 2024. Soon after 90 day Carmax warranty expired, the check engine light can on. Errors indicated engine missing on cyl #2 and that the O2 sensor was underperforming. Also, white smoke (steam) coming out of exhaust pipe. And, coolant fluid was all of a sudden low.

“My 2015 Ford Edge suddenly turned into a nightmare on what started as a normal drive.

Turns out coolant had gotten into the oil (a p…”
