2 Coolant Leaking problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2020

Purchased cpo with 38k miles on it. A week after owning smoke emitted from exhaust, check engine light came on and car was rough to start, idling hard. Car melted strongly of antifreeze but no visible leaks. Lincoln did inspection and says needs a new engine due to coolant leaking into cylinders and pistons failing. Engine is on backorder for two months. This seems to be a known problem. We are extremely unhappy. Haven't even had the car two weeks before this started happening. We want out of this car!.
