The consumer was traveling about 55mph on the highway and heard a rumbling noise. When she applied the gas pedal there was a loud rambling noise. She looked in her rearview mirrior and saw white smoke though the window. Consumer got out of car and didn't see anything. She got into the vehicle and started it, and white smoke came from the hood. Car was turn off. She got out of vehicle, and lifted the hood, and noticed a big giant whole coming from the engine. A pipe was busted, and oil was leak out from the engine.
