I didnt think too much of it, thought maybe a bolt came loose on some trim. So I drove it trying to get home maybe 5 miles or less, the rattling seemed to not get worse but I started noticing some power loss on acceleration. Then I came to a stop sign and the engine cut off, with the whole dash lighting up. Haven't been able to start the car since, the engine cranks but wont start. The error codes i got were P000A,P000B,P000C,P00D,P1603,P1604

Any thoughts? Help? I was researching and it sounded similar to a spun bearing/rod knock. Is it possible to happen that quick? Will the car not start at all if the bearing spun? I didn't have any prior noises or issues

During your spirited driving did you happen to do a long curve? The majority of the per recall failures happened shortly after the driver entered a highway from a curving ramp. My theory was always that it was a combination of the silicone and the prolonged turn.

Bet you a beer it is your number 4 rod bearing. It was almost always the number 4 rod bearing.
