Odometer has 42,000. 00 miles. Car was running fine at 2,200 rpms (on highway, 70 mph with cruise control on) when out of no where I heard a faint knocking from the engine. Before I could get off at the next exit the knock was extremely loud. Before I could get home (3 miles) the engine seized. The oil was changed 700 miles ago and the oil level was full at the time of the incident.

Stared idling rough and at lower rpms. Dealer said on two occasions it was the fuel type I was using. Was never informed of this either during the sale or in writing (I. E. Vehicle manuals). The third trip to the dealer I was informed they needed to disassemble to top half of the engine and rebuild it.
This new car was purchased by me in 01/06 and the problem became apparent within the first 30 days. Dealer told me that nothing can be done unless a trouble light came on. V6 engine. At idle the engine misses and the care loses continuously while at idle.
There's a miss in the engine when driving at level or steady speed . . . Doesn't matter how fast or how slow. . Gear shifter is hanging up and hard to get out of park to drive. . . Gas mileage is a lot less than rated. . .
