A properly running and maintained engine WILL use oil...Ford calls 1 quart per 1000 miles normal, and will say "see ya later, have a nice day" if you complain about 2 quarts in one oil change period. After reading through it all again, the dealer has no obligation for a new motor even, and would probably have the warranty claim denied for engine replacement.

I can tell you work at a dealership.
Let's not forget that the engine stopped running and the car had to be towed into the dealer.
Stopped, not acted up, stopped.
The problem was traced to a lack of oil. 3.1 litres out of 4 were missing.
That's not good anyway you cut it.
If my friend was a lawyer and initiated a legal action against the dealer they would cave. Because she is not and I am starting to wonder about her commitment, they tell he to screw off.
All is not well with this engine, I can assure you.
