NHTSA Complaint #11661141 — 2017 FORD ESCAPE

I was driving home from work going through a small town so I was only going 45 MPH when my engine started to rattle and smoke started to come out and I was able to immediately pull off the road safely. I noticed straight away that the engine was leaking and would not turn back on. When I had my vehicle towed to my Ford dealership, they had informed me that my engine block was cracked and the engine threw a rod that had impacted my starter. The engine has metal shaving in it so that has to be replaced, including the starter and turbo which was going to cost me $15,000. Also my Escape was just maintenance 2 weeks prior to the event so its unfortunate that the Ford mechanics "Missed" that big crack in my engine block.
