Description of the problem	Upon driving on the fwy, my vehicle suddenly lost power as i was traveling. Although at that point no warning lamps had come on the dash. I put on hazard lights to get the attention of other drivers, but it seemed as though they didn't see them. As i started to get out of the fast lane into the right lanes, the vehicle was just coasting, thankfully i was near an exit, so i coasted off the fwy, at this point the car was going uphill off the exit and all the warning lights appeared at that point and the vehicle just stopped on the exit of the fwy. I contacted aaa because my car was in a very dangerous, exit stranded and i couldn't get out my vehicle. Once aaa tech arrived, he lifted my vehicle to tow it and he said to me there's oil pouring out of your vehicle, that's real bad. He suggested i go to a nearby shop he knew of and the owner had me watch him as he looked at my car. He thought perhaps the oil pan wasn't secured. But, once he lifted up the car and the rest of the oil was running out, he saw pieces of metal in the oil, he said "that's parts of your engine, right there, your engine is gone. I said what is that, he said , unfortunately you had engine failure!
