This vehicle was well maintained, with oil changes and routine maintenance always done. The engine stalled while driving on Route 30 in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. My wife and I narrowly avoided a bad accident trying to pull vehicle safely off the road. The car would not start. Had to have it towed to our mechanic in Latrobe, Pa.
After a complete inspection of the engine, he determined that the engine was not repairable. Prior to the incident, the engine gave no warning at all. No lights, no noises or warnings of any kind. Problem is very similar to other engine failures we saw on line and elsewhere. To me this seems to be a manufacturer's defect, which many others have experienced.
