I had a engine warning light come on so I knew about the one recall for brake lines so I took my vehicle to a Ford dealership in Murfreesboro to fix the recall and to find out why the engine warning light came on, so they gave me a ride home. They asked me to leave my vehicle so these 2 things could be completed and checked out. 2 days had gone by and they finally call to tell me, my car was ready so I got a ride to the dealership to find out what was going on! One of the employees said recall was completed but he said my engine would need to be replaced, because coolant was coming through a cylinder and going into my engine and it would cost me $8,700 to fix!! Now mind you I have only had my car for 2 yrs! I-??m disabled and need my car for my doctors appointments! I-??m still paying on my car and I have to carry full coverage insurance because it-??s financed!! So he told me I could mess my vehicle up further if I continue to drive it this way, so the vehicle is sitting in front of our house and I have not driven it since! My complaint # 1145819! I-??m widowed so I have to rely on my children to take me where I need to go, which is a big inconvenience for us all! My sister had the same EXACT problem with her 2016 Escape and it was recalled, why not my 2016 Edge, it-??s doing the EXACT same thing just different models! Please help me I-??m paying on my auto which is financed and full coverage insurance on a vehicle that doesn-??t run!! I need my vehicle very badly, can we trade vehicles" Or I-??ll be happy if you can just fix the problem, they will have to tow it though because it-??s not running now!! It has over 100,000 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME! I-??m disabled, widowed, and on a fixed income so please have MERCY on me!!! I can-??t deal with anymore disappointments!! My phone is set up to not answer any calls not in my contacts, so please leave a message and I-??ll call you right back! PLEASE HELP ME!!! Can you possibly make an exception, because of my predicament??"
