Your car is experiencing coolant leaking into the engine cylinders, causing rough idling, overheating, and potential engine damage. You may notice engine warning codes and rough running even after replacing coils and spark plugs. Ford has issued recalls for similar issues on 2017-2019 models but not your 2016, and the company has declined to replace your engine despite knowing about the defect. Fixing this typically requires engine block replacement or major internal engine repair.
