1 Engine Funny Noise problem

Failure Date: 03/02/2013

While driving on the freeway my vehicle got very shaky and uncontrollable to drive, the check engine light came on and we noticed a burning smell and smoke coming from under the hood area. After being able to pull off freeway and check car we noticed a huge trail and puddle of oil coming from my car. Turned car into Ford dealership and was told that it was a oil leak from my engine oil cooler and resulted in a shattered piston in my engine from it being starved of oil. Was told by Ford I needed a new engine, but received a "remanufactured" engine long block from Ford. After almost 3 weeks I got the car back and that same day the car started to shudder and shake badly, everytime I start the car the car would crank over and take 5-10 seconds to actually catch and start. It would not accelerate, exhibits grinding scraping thumping noises from under the hood while driving low speeds. Trying to accelerate from a stop, forget it, the car gets stuck but revs high even though the speed wont change. Almost got into an accident due to not being able to accelerate like a car should. Told Ford and now sending car back again, but was given a TSB that these are "normal" characteristics. Im sorry but there is nothing normal about that and this car is a death trap!!.
