Description of the problem	Started hearing a whistling type of sound and noticing that the vehicle was not accelerating when i pushed on the pedal. As i tried to pull off the road the vehicle stalled and i could not get it started to get out of the road. Very scary. It finally started long enough to get to the side of the road and it stalled out again. There was smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. The vehicle would not start again. The vehicle was towed to the dealership where i purchased it and have it serviced. The service department called to tell me it was the turbo and that the vehicle needed a new engine. I will be going to the dealership on monday to pick up the vehicle but will have a list of questions on what exactly has been replaced and what type of warranty this new engine has.
