Description of the problem	The car began to shutter and felt as if it was losing power. The engine light did come on and i tried to get to the shoulder of the highway, but the engine light turned off and the car began to function as normal. I made an appointment the next business day with no concerns from the service rep stating it was most likely from the weather change and scheduled me in for 5 days later. I continued driving the car with no known problems or identifying lights that a problem exists. After about 5-7 hrs after dropping off i was told by the service rep that the 1. 5 echo boost engine is losing coolant through the motor and the short block is to be replaced. As well as stating that this problem is on an internal watch list from ford. I have high concerns that i continued to drive my 18-month-old car (purchased new in may 2018) with my children as well as to/from work without the engine light or any known identifier that a problem continued. My main driving everyday consist of highway driving and this problem could of caused a bad mishap not only for my family, but anyone around me on the highway.
