File date	30/03/12
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Turned onto state highway when engine began to make seizure noise and temperature moved toward h with shaking and lost power from engine. I put on emergency blinkers, removed foot from accelerator, tapped brakes, with noise continuing, while attempting to accelerate again with no power occurring. I drifted slowing down the highway a few hundred feet, turned onto a side road, with violent engine seizure noise continuing and turned off vehicle. Vehicle restarted without a problem. I got vehicle towed to dealer to be checked since i purchased the vehicle only two weeks prior. I highly suspect engine debris caused this very dangerous incident. I thought an explosion of the vehicle would occur and a crash from approaching vehicles. I will not take delivery of the vehicle in incident and requested out of contract.
