| Description of the problem | I was driving to fredericksburg on i-95 around midnight last monday. All of a sudden all my warning lights came on. My engine made a loud noise, stalled and then died while i was driving. I was able to get my car to the right shoulder luckily or i would have been dead probably. Got the car towed to the nearest shop. They said i only had 1 quart of oil, and i told them i that is impossible because i change my oil on a regular basis. My oil sticker is in the right side of my windshield. They said due to the lack of oil, i blew a piston and a bearing and they had to take my engine apart. So now my warranty apparently won't cover this so i'm stuck with a car with no engine. |
