Description of the problem	At 13,650 miles the engine destroyed itself due to a defective crankshaft. I was driving home at night in the rain when the engine light came on and a loud banging sound was coming from the engine compartment. I immediately pulled off the highway & called roadside assistance. I waited for 3 hours for a tow truck and eventually had to call ct state police who summoned a wrecker. The lower half of the engine was completely destroyed. Manufacturer replaced the engine with a new engine assembly and engineers requested the old engine be sent to them for inspection as they had never seen this defect before. I was without my vehicle for 15 days. The first night i picked it up the engine light came on after less than 20 miles on my way home, again at night. It was not a dummy light. Another defective part had to be replaced. This time it was the egr module. I am now experiencing occasional skips when the vehicle tries to shift to upper gears from a dead stop. I am confident this product is a lemon and have worked fruitlessly to try to get the dealer/manufacturer to provide a replacement vehicle. This vehicle is unsafe and unreliable and i have received no consideration for a replacement other than to treat the transaction as a new vehicle purchase with mine as a trade. At the time of the first event, i had only owned this car for 4 months and put roughly 6,700 miles on it as it was a dealer's demo, driven by the owner of the dealership. It had over 6000 miles at purchase and i had only made 3 car payments at the time of failure. This is ridiculous! *nm
