| Description of the problem | I was driving vehicle at normal rate of speed on city street when suddenly there was a sensation/sound of gravel and then i could no longer accelerate. The car died and i had to pull over to the side of the road. The lights and sensors were all functioning, but the car would not start. Had oil change done at 6000 miles with synthetic oil as recommended. Dealer says engine is blown. Had no warning prior to this happening -- just stopped working. Unacceptable for brand new car. |
