1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 01/22/2021

Driving home from work last night in my car and when I got to my neighborhood, I rolled down the window a tad for some fresh air, and then noticed a weird cranking sound coming from under the hood. I continued home cautiously, noticing at this point that when I would accelerate the car would shake some and the lights would flicker some. I had not noticed anything on the 25 mile drive to work that morning and most of the drive home until slowing down from highway to neighborhood road. When I got to my carport I parked my car and got out, noticing the smell of burning oil. I quickly looked underneath and saw oil spilling, and looked behind my car to see a huge line of oil from where I had come through the neighborhood to the carport. Faint blue smoke was also visible, at this point I shut my car off. There was never a single indication light of any sort at any point in time. I have full service records I have always maintained my car every 5000 miles or less, last time being barely 2 months before this incident, $150 service and full checkup. 30 minutes later I came back out to inspect and everywhere on the underside of my car was dripping oil on the ground, a good 7x3 foot area with drips everywhere and main pool near the front. After doing some research I have seen many many claims describing this exact problem with the same year and model as me, as little as 8 days ago posting about it. I have never had any recalls or notices of this problem but I see class action law suites over this oil consumption problem online, however I see also see articles saying how over 41,000 vins were excluded and people are having extreme problems with this situation. Non-personal info as a young man with this being my first major purchase, having maintained my car as required and having paid $10980 I am extremely upset being out of transportation due to mechanical flaw on piston design.
