Symptoms is the coolant disappears rapidly and the engine overheats after driving five miles. Alarms go off. The temperature gage in the vehicle is at its max. In starting the vehicle, there is white smoke. There is check engine lights. I have less than 100,000 miles on my vehicle. It is not safe to drive, and is not driveable. I had a mechanic look at it and found evidence of coolant inside the cylinder. My vehicle has been parked for 2 years waiting for resolution.

The cost according to my mechanic is to replace the long block or replace the engine ranges between $4000 and $10,000.

It's sitting in dealer now for over 30 days engine on back order.
