Consumer Description

The component that failed was the engine. It is available for inspection at this time. My car died in the middle of the road while my daughter was driving it. 2 different garages including the dealership I purchased it from confirmed the engine is blown. There was no indication given that the engine was blown. This is a known engine malfunction with these vehicles that I only just became aware of. The oil evaporates from the engine which causes a rod to get thrown.
