Description of the problem	The engine has been serviced multiple times with no long-term fixes. There are at the moment 127000 miles on the car and i have just been told along with the known issue of the engine eating oil the rod holding the pistons in place is having problems. I have spent almost as much on this engine as it would cost to replace. The engine shakes the car, is loud while idle and has the tendency to jar on the highway.
