Hah, next time ask your tech to explain road force variance to you. I know of dealers not using factory spec'd oil (too expensive), not changing oil, and forgetting to add oil after drain.

This slight OT doesn't apply to you strat, but I wish people would go back to being more involved with their cars and understanding how they work rather than just dropping it off at the dealer and hoping for the best. At least be able to perform some due diligence on work performed (inspect, quiz the tech, etc.). Doing so will make you a better driver too. Ultimately people need to realize operating a car on the street is your responsibility.

Yup, seems likely. The odds of two new motors with many good builds between suffering the same mechanical failure are about nil. Unless the dealer rebuilt the old one and didn't know what they were doing.

Did the OP ever get codes pulled and posted here?
