| Description of the problem | As my mother was getting onto the 105 east fwy the engine made a loud bang and rumbling noises. Immediately following the engine completely turned off and the car was still in motion. The brakes were functioning properly thus my mother was able to come to a full stop on the shoulder of the fwy ramp. All the engine oil was spilling out of the vehicle. Once the car was towed to the dealer, they said the engine had a hole and not repairable. The car is barely 5 years old and purchased new. Last oil change was done on 3/16/11 and the auto center did not report any engine issues. |
