I was driving home then started hearing a knocking noise coming from the engine. That's when I felt my car to lose power and start to decelerate. Once it stopped it shut off , and all of my light on my dash board was on. The battery light, oil light, eps light. I went to open the hood and it smelt like something was burning. After about an hour of waiting the engine still wasn't turning over. I left my car on the side of the road at an apartment complex.
My car is having issues describing what is happening in the recall, the engine is louder than when I go out it sounds like you're knocking noise and I just got it in September. I need to speak with somebody about this since it's not listed on the recall.
