NHTSA Complaint #11423393 — 2017 FORD ESCAPE

On 3-7-2019 brought vehicle in for service at Larsen Ford in Lakewood NJ for engine light turned on with OBN code P3020. Service dept employee, Mitch Sperling their was anti freeze in number two cylinder. They kept vehicle till 3/15/2019 and stated repair was made. Except the repair for this should have been a new engine. On 7-2-2021 brought vehicle into service dept for engine light with OBN code P0303. This time it was anti frreze in number 3 cylinder approx 55,000 mileage. Service dept checked vehicle and came back and stated I need new engine. That they would order engine from ford and get back to me in about a week when to bring vehicle back and it would take 3 to 4 weeks to install engine and they will rent me a car. My problem with this is that i have to drive a vehicle that could stall and get rear ended until they get back to me. This vehicle should have gotten new engine back in 3-15-2019 because that is the fix ford recommends. Their on hundreds of complaints for this same problem going back to 2010 with the turbos. My vehicle has a 2.0 turbo and should never have been sold without this problem being corrected. Now I have a vehicle with a history of engine problems and if I attempt to trade in will come back on vehicle history. My position is ford was hoping that I would go over the 60,000 warranty and they would not have to cover any further repair without me shelling out 8,000 dollars for repair.
