Description of the problem | While drivng on the 5n freeway in the fast lane, my car seized. I had enough momentum to get on the right shoulder. Warning light said nothing of oil leak and gave me the tpms warning (tire pressure). Diagnosis: oil plug fell out of oil pan, all oil leaked and engine was ruined. Weeks later, i recieve a "new" engine and they do not know why the plug fell out. If it was loose, it would have fell out quicker than 600 miles after the oil was serviced. Perhaps it was the wrong size oil plug, we wont know because it fell out. Recall is for 2011-2013 models.... Perhaps the 2017 has same issues!!! Nhtsa |
