Engine suddenly started knocking, pulled over, checked the oil and it was full. Finished on my way to work and it seized on the side of the road. I called AAA to have it towed to the dealer(TOWNE MAZDA OF ORCHARD PARK). Two days later they called back and was told they are declining to fix it. I don't understand why, it only has 33,000 miles and should be under warranty. All they did is pull the dipstick and say there was too much oil in it. I have been taking my cars to the same mechanic for 20 years. Guaranteed there was not too much oil in it and it was ALWAYS CHANGED WITH MOBIL 1 Oil with receipts to prove. Still having a problem with Towne Mazda of ORCHARD PARK covering under warranty. ALL I CAN SUGGEST IS DON'T BUY OR LEASE A CAR AT TOWNE FORD OF ORCHARD PARK NY.......

Got back home on Thursday night and immediately see smoke coming under my hood. Opened it up and defenitly feel engine overheat. I did not notice anything at all probably I was driving on highway.
Let the car sit over the weekend, engine oil leaked all over my drive way. Took it to dealership today and was told that there is a hole in the long block. Would need a replacement of new engine (part $4200, labor 16 hours $2880).
I have been having regular oil change every 5-7k miles. Just ridiculous.
