Water Pump Problems of Lincoln MKS

I took my 2015 Lincoln Mks to the Ford dealership to replace a water pump. After they inspected my vehicle, they determined that it was indeed a bad water pump. They quoted that it would take 15 hours for the repair and cost $2,500. I had no other choice but to have my car repaired and paid $2,547. 5 days later my son was driving the car stopped and filled the car with gas. He drove the car 1000 ft and noticed white smoke coming from the engine. He parked the car and got out and the car ignited with the engine turned off. The fire destroyed the entire car. The fire department had to put the fire out. The fire started in the engine.

There is a leak coming from the water pump which is in the engine. It's on average a $1700 fix which is extremely expensive. From what I've been told by multiple mechanics is that it is a design defect the Ford did for that year. My mechanic said he's been fixing the same issue on Ford escape, Lincoln mkz, Lincoln Mks, and some Ford trucks that are 2013. My car is below 75,000 miles and this is typically a fix that doesn't occur until 120,000 miles. If this is a design defect than Ford should be paying for it not me. The car is not old nor does it have a high miles. This outrageous.
