Description of the problem	I was getting dinner,and i admit that i pulled out rather swiftly and punched the gas,cause people in my area are very aggressive,however having the engine stall,should not have happened,or should i say my engine took a turn for the worst and stopped working for good. So here i was stalled in the middle of a busy hwy and people were honking and going around me. This was not a spot where i could just pull over. So i pushed the car to the next perking lot. I almost got hit initially and almost broke both my ankles trying to push this over sized toy vehicle. Towed it to the shop and i got a $6000 bill for a clunked engine. Now,prior to all this i didn't do many oil changes,however,how could i when the oil kept burning up. This always puzzled me as to why i kept having to put oil in it,with no visible oil leaks. I think that this engine also had a problem similar to the 192vwhatever engine. I think i had 130,000 miles on this vehicle,but i had no other problems with it. It may have had a lot of where and tear on it,but it should never have done this much damage. I think the,"nhtsa" should do some investigating on this and i will get to the bottom of this for everyone that had this problem.
