| Description of the problem | My car started making a weird humming screeching noise and then the next day it would not start. Found out the bearings have failed and caused complete engine failure. Its the same problem with your 2011-2013 models so the 2014 should be included in that recall. We have spent tons of money keeping the car updated on maintenance for college and this is completely inappropriate for a 2014 to have this happen. The vehicle was in motion when the first noise was noticed then parked immediately thank goodness at her dorm where the car, then would not start the next day and was towed. |
