My 2017 Ford Explorer with 62,000 miles suffered a catastrophic engine failure while driving at highway speed. The car immediately lost power and I was almost hit from behind. I limped into a rest area where the vehicle had to be towed to a dealer. The Ford dealer service technician diagnosed the issue as a main bearing failure. The car now requires a new engine that will cost $6700 dollars and Ford has denied to provide any financial assistance even though the vehicle has only 62,000 miles on it.
