2 Engine Failure problem

Failure Date: 01/30/2019

I was driving on the freeway on a very cold morning. All of a sudden I heard a pop sound and my car would not work. I have only 67,000 miles on my car. The entire engine failed and had to be replaced. My mechanic said that in the past 2 weeks he had 3 other people with the same problem. According to him the engine is not made properly because if condensation builds up it has no way to be released and it blows the engine. Ironically when I called my boss to tell her she said she had the exact thing happen to her 2 weeks ago on her Equinox.
