Consumer Description

At ~114k miles, the engine failed without warning. While driving on the freeway in overdrive, at ~65 mph, the vehicle struggled to down shift or accelerate further. I exited the freeway in <quarter mile and pulled into a parking lot, putting the car in park. The oil light, check engine light, and oil pressure lights came on simultaneously, and the car shut off. A local mechanic diagnosed the issue as a thrown rod. No check engine light, oil pressure, or oil change light alerted me of an issue. All scheduled, routine oil changes were performed through the life of the vehicle.
