Description of the problem	While driving on the expressway (approx. 70mph) the car began to knock from engine loud. Also there was a lot noise i can't begin to explain. Immediately it smelled like there was a burning smell. There was black smoke coming from the exhaust. There was no issues or indications of any problems before this happened. Luckily i was coming up on a rest stop and i got it into the lot and called a tow truck. Of course i start making calls as soon as possible. Pull up complaints about the car. But i have one of the sool vin #s not covered under the recall for the same exact thing that thousands are getting help with. Still have to pay for the car. Can't drive the car. 2 months now of being told there's nothing i can do.
