Didn't drive again till 11/21/09 . Oil light came on after 50 miles of driving. Pulled over checked fluids, oil was ok. got back in started , no oil light drove 3 miles to home . Got up 2am on 11/22 to go to work started Ridgeline oil light came on and engine rattled and knocked and smelled like oil burning. Shut off took 1991 MB420 (old reliable) to work. Had Ridgeline towed into Dealer . Dealer claimed it "just Happened like someone getting a heart attack" and claimed they did nothing wrong. New engine will cost $6,800.00!!!
