Well, found out this was an internal shaft failure that blew the engine. So the final outcome is they will only pick up 1/3 of the cost. It would of been more but I was told by the service manager it was due to the fact I did not get my 45,000 mile service done. What a crock of BS, come on they definatley know its a major problem on there end and we're the ones who have to pay out the ass for there design issues. So, my total out of pocket cost is 9,722.12.

So the question is now....once the engine is replaced do I keep my car or should I sell it and get something brand new. So far after 14 months of ownership I will have spent a total of 11,200.00 to get this car fixed.

Hope you guys have better luck with yours!
