While driving I hear a popping sound -- thinking that I rolled over something with my tire but that's not it then my car starts smoking in the front and my windshield gets fogged up I use the defroster to try to clear my window but the smoke keeps coming up from the front . This happens anytime driving, parking, highway, city streets or just sitting at a light and I park in the garage I don't park on the street. This has happened on numerous occasions I already had the purge valve replaced.
I was told the clicking sound in the engine was normal for my car. I brought it in 1 yr and 9 months later because mechanic said it is not normal. They diagnosed my car , said I needed a whole new engine.
