Description of the problem	Stopped at a red light - middle lane of 3 lanes. When the light turned green i went to accelerate and realized the car had stalled. Car would not restart - repair shop said engine seized - which seems to be a common occurrence. Called one salvage yard that listed 4 in stock - they were all sold. I was stuck in the middle lane of traffic until a police car stopped behind me and turned on his lights. I am not under warranty due to being the 2nd owner (warranty is half - 50,000 miles). I still owe and now i have to pay at least 4000. 00 to have a used engine installed (which appears will have the same problem eventually). ... Updated 09/28/15 bf updated 12/08/2017cn
