Description of the problem | On friday 4/26/19, i was driving along the highway and all of a sudden there was a jerking movement, all error lights came on to the dashboard, and lots of smoke out the back underneath the car. I immediately pulled over to the side of the highway and a gentleman saw what happened said to shut off the engine that there was fire. I got out and noticed all of the oil draining from the engine and liquid dripping and sparking upon reaching the ground. There was a bolt found on the flatbed tow truck which was determined to be a bolt for a piston rod that shot through the block and oil pan. There was a catastrophic failure to the engine. |
