The car had been acting funny , going fast then making a noise and going ok again. I am not a fast driver as in November my husband of 32 years , passed after being in a hit and run , from people with no insurance , my life is pretty much hell . I was starting to smell something funny like burning and I thought I maybe a tire or strut. I was at a signal second car in and loots of traffic , including school buses. There was a gas station about 30-40 feet from me , but the first car went in to get gas , so on second thought going by the pumps was not a good idea , so I put on signal and tried to pulled over . Car were speeding past me and the car began to accelerate and ll to the right,I turned left or pulled to the left , crashed into a pole hard . Seat belt went flying off , air bags on side did not go off , but front ones did . I broke my leg and bruises, plus a black eye. Since the week before I lost my job , I am doomed , have to try to find a job , because I can:t my car get unemployment. I loved my car first and only car I have ever had. Is there anything you could do to help as I have had many recalls and had them checked, but thois is just so strange I thought I had .

Wife was driving vehicle on rural road. No warning lights or buzzers but noticed engine temperature was increasing. She identified a parking lot a few miles up the road where she planned to pull into since the road did not offer a shoulder. Just before reaching the parking lot the engine stalled out and she smelled oil. With the loss of power she immediately lost control and almost collided with the oncoming traffic. She was able to correct her steering before an accident occurred and coasted into the parking lot. She contacted me and we walked through the incident and she opened the hood. She described the engine compartment completely covered in smoking oil. I also reviewed the engine when I went to retrieve the vehicle and noted that it had apparently seized because the belt was off. The dealership was contacted but remains elusive to any problems with the engine even though there is an increasing amount of complaints concerning these engines premature failure due to "engine sludge" available online. Thank you for your time in reviewing this potential safety issue.
