Catastrophic water pump failure. I was driving on the highway and the engine started knocking and white plumes burst from the exhaust. I was lucky enough to get off the highway and to a safe place before the engine failed completely.
I have two complaints on this vehicle. 1. Driving down the road and hear a loud explosion that was the moonroof,. 2. The water pump was defective and put coolant into my oil and ruined the engine. This seems to have happened way too many times for this not to be a recall on both of these. My car literally overheated out of nowhere.
