Im from Chicago but I go to school in Iowa so I drive my car back and forth between there, its about a three hour drive. I took my car in at the beginning of the year and the dealer ship requested extra time to do the repair(approx a week instead of the typical three days. so they can go slow.) I said sure no big deal. well, I ended up having to take the loaner car back to school because the dealer took about two weeks to finish. I drove back on a Monday morning to pick up the car and then drive back to school the same day. on my way back about two hours into the drive my motor. blew. according to the dealer. a piece of metal from the valve cover broke free, shot threw the valve cover and all the oil leaked out onto the side of my car. the dealer shipped the car back to Chicago. PULLED THE MOTOR and installed a new valve cover to "confirm rod knock"( it took two weeks. just for the valve cover to come in). they had told me if the valve cover didn't work they would order me a brand new motor and swap it in. well that wasn't true. currently it's been two months, the car still has no motor. I still have a rental and they are still waiting on a short block and some other parts
