Ford escape, broken connecting rod, what to do?

This is an acquaintances car. It may have a broken rod in the engine. I know it is an ecopboost 2016-2017? this is a common problem? the car has had numerous cooling issues, I replaced alot of the cooling system few years ago. I heard there are recalls for this issue? Can I expect any financial help or discounts from the Ford dealership? I believe car has over 80,000 miles. So, what to do? Let's say repairs come out more than still owed on the bank loan? let's say, repairs are 10k$ but still owe bank 8k$.

Installed Ui 8.5 on Flip 6, now phone shuts down when I close lid

I just installed 8.5 and right after now whenever I close my screen, the phone shuts off. Is this coincidence and my phone is mechanically broken inside? or is the software causing the issue? I was planning on a factory reset but that wont fix the 8.5 operation system?

Something else I have noticed, the little top screen feels hot even though it is not on and the phone has been open running the main screen. I have deleted cache from One Ui home and also good lock and multistar which could be an issue. I put my phone in maintenance mode which disables all apps and it still shuts off when screen is closed.

something else, when the phone is CLOSED and power off, it recognizes USB cable plugged in and shows the charge status and battery percentage. so that makes me wonder is it more of a software issue?

the 718 boxsters reliable at 100,000 miles on the 4 cylinder?

not looking for just guesses but do you know anyone with a 100,000 mile 2017+ porsche? how reliable do you think the engine will be? I have seen quite a few macans with bad engines well below this mile mark. of course, I would be buying a car with 60,000 miles or less but I do plan to drive it frequently. I do understand sportscars require frequent repairs but engine cylinder walls should never be on my list.

Possible to install LCI steering wheel with shifter paddles into 2015 S without?

I have an F56 2015 automatic with base radio, no idrive.

If I get a newer steering wheel, will it fit with my airbag? And will the shifter paddles have connections? My car did not originally have this option.

What is going on with used cars? Jaguar F Pace S. The blue book price on my car is 15,600. I have it on sale for 12,300$ and trying to get it sold is like pulling teeth. I have not listed it on facebook marketplace. I do not want thirty kids messaging me asking to trade for a honda. Seems like dealers cant keep CPO F types in stock. I thought overweight americans loved SUVs? Everywhere on reddit people keep telling me the economy is great but everything I see points to people being dirt poor and financially struggling.

usually I leave the car in the garage but I am going out of town next month and the car might be outside or at the airport. What is going on with Ioniq 5 that so many european cars get stolen? I thought there was a software update to prevent this? I have a 2022 and am in the USA.
