Description of the problem	I purchased the car on 10/22/13 and i have kept the maintenance up on the car. Then on 2/13/15 (not to mention that it was my birthday) as i was driving home from work the car cut off on me. I had the car towed to the dealership where i purchased the car from and was told that the motor was blown up. Now here i was thinking that i kept very good care of my car and that a car with only 63k miles should not have had any engine problems! Now here it is almost 3 months later i still have to make car payments on a car that i can not drive.
