Sometimes mechanical things just go bad ....

I hope they get your car fixed up a new engine soon.

Sorry to hear man. I'm in the same position but at least you didn't mod your car. I will probably have to take legal action to win my repairs and now I'm only letting subaru touch my FR-S.

Best of luck!

This is why I do not understand the value of a warranty. Seems like the only stuff covered without trouble is the cheap little stuff (which wouldn't "break the bank" anyway). But for significant issues, like engine troubles, it's always a fight.

@kjdd787 have you done any racing or track events? Just curious what general use the car has seen and what led up to this failure.

And I had already filed a claim with scion USA and they called today to see how things were going and how the car is running I told them it's not running period now. Not even turning over so they said they will investigate the claim and hopefully return all of my money

Wonder if Nissan will pull this shit if they build the IDx... "well we wanted to build a real next gen drivers car, great handling and really fun to drive but would like to warn buyers that they will be questioned like they are criminals at every service appointment and if the car is not driven like a amish buggy their warranty will be voided"

I'm sure the dealership has to work with corporate on this.. They probably can't say anything until they get the go ahead from somewhere else.. Which takes some time, not to mention the holiday time.. Good luck with the fix.
