Consumer Description

(1) THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE ENGINE FAILURE (2) FOR NO REASON WHAT SO EVER, THE ENGINE JUST SEIZED WHILE I WAS SITTING AT A STOP SIGN. THERE WAS PLENTY OF OIL AND WATER IN THE ENGINE. ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PERFORMED. I AM NOW BEING TOLD I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. I AM 14,000 MILES OVER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED THIS CARE AN ENTIRE YEAR. *JB
