I just had my '13 towed to the Scion dealer with what I suspect is a catastrophic engine failure. I will know more when the tech gets to look at it on Monday. The car is an early production '13 that we picked up in July '12 and has just under 40k miles on it.
I heard a nasty crunching sound, check engine light came on. The just about every other light came on. Engine stalled. I coasted it into a parking lot.
The engine won't start. The engine does turn with the ignition key turned to start (I thought the clutch / flywheel may have blown up) but it seems to spin without much resistance. There is no sign of engine internals becoming external and the engine oil level seems fine. With no gaping holes in the block and no real knocking when I crank it over with the key, I'm thinking this is going to be something in the heads.
I just wanted to get this directly to the dealer, so I didn't check the codes before it went.
I also have a Subaru Outback that I need to change the timing belt, clutch and headgaskets on before winter. I was going to pull the motor this morning. I'm glad I didn't because my wife and I would be sharing a Miata on summer tires.
