Description of the problem	On 10/13/15 while driving to work this car stutter when slowing for a stop light. The car did not stall so i kept on driving. On 10/16/15 while taking my daughter to school i was crossing the man-o-war and lyon drive intersection and the engine stopped running. I coasted across the intersection and got the car to the side of the road. I put the car in park and restarted the engine. The engine went on running as if nothing had happened. On 10/18/15 i decided to look the engine over to see if i could see why the engine stopped. I checked the oil and discovered that the dip stick showed no oil. I added 2 quarts of oil i had on hand and the dip stick now showed that the engine had oil, but it was still below the low mark on the dip stick. That day while driving the car the check engine light came on. My wife took the car into the dealer to change the oil and determine what the check engine light was for on 10/20/15. They changed the oil and said the check engine light indicated that i needed to replace the "exhaust oil control valve". On 10/22/15 the engine started acting funny. My wife took the car back to the dealer, on 10/23/15, and they said the engine was full of sludge and we needed a new engine. I did not believe it and wanted a second opinion. My wife barley got the car home. That same day i had the car towed to another service facility and they confirmed that we needed a new engine. They are now replacing the engine.
