Was driving to work about 25mph than all of a sudden lost acceleration was able to slowly drive to a parking lot but ended up having towed to my mechanic which I was in formed the engine had seized but could smell gas and the fuel had collected in the oil which was changed, after further consideration had it towed to my home. Tried starting it it runs anywhere between 10 or 15 seconds , had the starter checked working great so about 2 months I just have it parked looking for solutions. I had it for about 9 years with day to day driving to work and occasionally on the highway.
