2 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2019

My vehichle had been making a noise and started letting out a gray smoke from te exhaust. I took it into the dealership and they said it was leaking "oil" into the motor and I needed a new engine. That they did not know where the problem was coming from therefore Ford approved a new engine replacement sice I am still under warranty ( 31,000 miles). Even if a new engine is replaced. The fact that they do not know where the vehicle is leaking oil from still does not rule out that this problem can happen again and when. Also every time I come to a stop my car turns off and does not turn back on when I release the brake. When is Ford going to finally say recall these vehicles???? I have young children I drive every single day. . My children's safety in on the line here. Do Ford ceo's realize that? do Ford ceo's have children? grandchildren? maybe their children/grandchildren should ride in these faulty vehicles and be put at risk and then maybe they will re think their decision of recalling !!!!!!!!.

3 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 07/31/2017

I turned from the parking lot intersection in eagle run shopping center, NW of wendy's, from west to south onto the parking lot road that accesses the w maple rd & birch st intersection. I completed my turn and drove south down the parking lot access road to the w maple & birch st intersection where the traffic light was red. I came to a complete stop to wait for a green light. I stopped a ways back from the median curb of the intersection to allow for turning traffic from the west. Shortly later, while waiting for the light to change, I noticed a vibration of the car and looked at the tachometer which showed 1,200 rpm & rising (600rpm is normal). Immediately the car began to physically lunge forward with increased engine noise so I instinctively placed more pressure on the brake pedal which had no affect. The car's engine was now racing wide open & I had no control of the car's rapidly increasing forward motion. At this point, to avoid a catastrophic accident by being pulled into traffic at the intersection, I steered to the right towards the shoulder hitting the traffic light pole with the brake applied the entire time.
