2010 Lincoln MKT Engine Problems

“Catastrophic water pump failure. I was driving on the highway and the engine started knocking and white plumes burst from the exhaust. I was lucky enough to get off the highway and to a safe place before the engine failed completely.”

“First time I was driving at about 20 miles per hour and let go of the gas pedal the car jumped out of drive and did a jerking sound they replied it was 2 solenoids were replaced the next time I was diving up a hill with a 20% grade and tried to accelerate and it lost all power.

I called an mechanic who told me my coolant leaked into my oil my water pump failed. It failed internal to the timing chain cover and dumped a large amount of coolant into the crankcase which then contaminated the engine oil and over filled the oil pan. …”
