well heres my story, two days ago i go to start my car up in the morning. everything is fine let her warm up in all. get down to end of my court and it starts shaking and it stalls. had trouble starting up the first couples times i tried and then it finally worked. ok so i shut it down and tried to replicate what i was feeling and it starts up fine the next few times. hmmm. started on my journey to work, and about 15 min down the road CEL comes on along with slip light. Car still feels normal until i come to a complete stop, it idles rough. Get to work called the dealership and told them i was bringing the car in with the issues. At the end of the day I get in and the car has no trouble starting up but the lights are still on. I take it easy leaving the army base that i work at and get stuck in the bumper to bumper traffic as usual. As I sit there waiting for traffic to move, I creep up closer to the car infront of me and the car stalls again. drifted into the shoulder i shut her down and tried to start it back up. The starter goes and Boom I hear a clanking noise and there is now smoking coming from under the hood. i get out and there is also oil draining very rapidly from underneath. dealership towed my car back.
only news i got from the dealership is that some how a cam broke through the valve cover and that they will begin a tear down next week. but because i do my own oil changes, they're trying to say that "it may have been caused do to lack of scheduled service" since they have no record of me bringing the car there for oil changes. such bs, you can only imagine what im going through at the moment.
