Engine Funny Noise problems of the 2014 Ford Escape

My Ford gave off exhaust smell from time to time and occasionally the engine light may come on. But dealership did not find any problems recently, the engine light came on and I drove my card to the nearest Fords dealership but, needed to schedule an appointment. Advised could drive home if no unusual sounds. Engine light went off before appointment, so I canceled. 2-3 weeks later engine light, came back on with smell of fumes. I scheduled an appointment. The day of the appointment, I started the car and coolant light also came on at start with the smell of fumes. Feeling uneasy driving the car, I had 2014 Ford Escape towed to the dealership that I frequent and describe engine light and coolant light came on during start, with a loud humming noise. Since I had already scheduled to get the works synthetic oil change and vehicle maintenance on the same day, I also requested diagnostic testing. The car was kept overnight. There is only 47746 miles on the vehicle and too many issues. I was advised the car had misfired codes and overheat codes. Pressured tested coolant pulled the spark plug, found coolant in a cylinder. The car needs a head gasket. Car smoked during cold start and exhaust smells like coolant. My car was previously recalled for a door hatch and overheating. . I have taken the car to the dealership several times before for engine light, but, vehicle check-up always seems to resolve the issue. On one occasion, requested oil change and vehicle inspection, when almost a quarter of a mile from home all of the dashboard lights came on. Had the car towed back to the dealership, the issue seemed to be resolved.

Our 2014 Ford Escape was recently under repair for the Jan 2018 coolant recall. It was completed on Mar 15, 2019. On Mar 16, 2019. Our vehicle had driven on the freeway for 3 hrs for a distance of 200 miles and upon exiting the freeway and stopping at a stoplight. My vehicle stopped moving and managed to get it onto a gas station parking lot. . I had it towed the nearest car dealership and they had diagnosed it and came back with the transmission and coolant being the issue. They are currently wanting to charge us a large amount of money to fox the repairs and transmission. I noticed that there is a recall for the transmission as of sept 2018. No recall message has been sent out yet. However. I believe my vehicle is affected as it would make an unusual sound from time to time when shifting from park, reverse, or drive as if it got stuck. I would love to have someone from the Ford assist me with this because it doesnt make sense for me to deal with this if this has been a discovered issue. Please assist me in this matter. Thank you.
