Description of the problem	I was driving my vehicle down my street when the engine died. Right before it died, i heard a brushing noise and then all the lights illuminated on the dash. There were no other warning noises or lights prior to engine failure. I checked the oil dipstick and there was no oil registering on it. The smear that was on the stick was black. The check engine or low oil light never came on to warn me of a potential problem. There is also no oil on my driveway which would indicate a slow leak. It was towed to the dealer where they told my the engine was dead and i needed a new one. This is not covered under the 10yr./100,000 mile powertrain warranty since i bought this (a year ago) from a friend who was the original owner. It has approximately 89,000 miles on it now. I'm thankful i was in my neighborhood when the engine failed and not on the interstate where i had been moments prior to this incident. It is still at the dealership where i have been quoted $7-9k for an engine replacement. They have offered $2,800 for a trade-in towards another vehicle as an option.
