On Sunday December 24, 2017 christmas eve we were driving on 95 south returning home with my daughters and I was on the express lane and all the sudden I heard a loud noise coming from the front and the car stop speeding and I was able to pull over to the side where the car just shut off, a roade ranger came to assist us, he checked to see if it was the battery but I just bought the battery then gas/oil nothing. We ended up having the car towed to a mechanic in hallandale beach, where they told us is an engine issue. This is very similar to the recent recall of engine fail. Its now been 3 weeks and we dont have a car.
