Description of the problem | My engine, without any prior warning signs, suddenly started to make a knocking noise approximately 5 minutes after driving it. Within a few miles on the highway, the sound got louder and heavier, and the acceleration became very weak. I pulled over and stopped the car. When i tried to restart it was so hesitant to do so that i called for a tow. Upon inspection the engine was considered dead and had to be very expensively rebuilt. I keep up with my regularly scheduled oil changes and have maintained the car properly for the duration of my ownership. This malfunction came out of nowhere and was no fault of my own. |
