Description of the problem	Went to go get an oil changed on feb 9th. Monday, feb 11th drove to work and back home, when i reached the exit off the beltway, the car started put puting, smoke started coming out of the back, engine and oil light came on. I immediately drove it 6 miles home to park it. Had it towed an hour later. The shop said the rod busted and went through my engine and no oil was in the car. This has been an ongoing issues with this type of car. This experience has really dramatized me. Not sure if my insurance will pay for it and i will have to come out of pocket to replace an engine that could have possibly been a recall. Based of my vin: its not, but january 2019 & april 2016, there were recalls with this same issue. Its not right.
