1 Radiator problem

Failure Date: 10/15/2018

My 2011 Ford Explorer only has 104k miles. In October of 2018 the car repeatedly shut off while driving home from work with no indication that anything was wrong. The next day it happened again, when I got it to finally turn back on the check engine light came on. I took it in to be checked and was told the antifreeze has spilled into the engine and we would need to replace the entire engine! I bought this car brand new and have had numerous problems including the steering lock recall as well as needing the radiator replacement in the first 3 months of my purchase. Also, no indication prior to those incidents either! I currently have this car sitting in my driveway and no answers from Ford. The cost to fix is over 6k! I noticed a recall being issued for this problem, however my model car is not included! this should include all Ford vehicles.
