Description of the problem	On 8/4/19 i was heading to work when my car decided not to go anymore. I was at an intersection making a left turn when all of a sudden my car did not want to accelerate. I could not get passed 3000 rpms. Felt the engine rev up but would only go 30 mph. At first i thought it was me, because the whole ride everything was smooth sailing and then this happend out of nowhere. So i gave it a little more gas and could feel the engine struggling. I came to the next red light and when i started to give gas it just jerked and i rolled into the nearest gas station. Immediately shut the car off and checked the oil. Because as i accelerated at the next light once green the oil light came on and kept blinking. I just changed it two months ago! There was no smoke or burning smell. No oil under car or any other fluid. I had to have car towed home, late to work because i got a ride in. Called the dealership and they wanted to charge me 6 to 8 thousand for a new engine once diagnosed. My car is out of warranty. There are 79,000 miles on it. I have been reading articles about the same thing happening to me. There is a recall for the exact same issues but for a 1. 6l. Mine is a 2. 0. Why isn't the manufacturer taking any initiative to look into my size engine when i'm having the same problems. I dont have 6 to 8 thousand for this. Please investigate. Please tell me i have some sort of chance of getting anything fixed at the dealership.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
