Check engine light suddenly came on and the vehicle lost all engine power and driving capabilities while driving at a low speed, turning a corner. There had been no other issues or indication of a failure of any kind. The car was pulled over on the roadside out of traffic and was able to be restarted with no problem. It was taken to a nearby auto parts store where they performed a free diagnostic check. The result that came back was generally regarding a vacuum issue in fuel system or lines. The gas cap lid and door were checked for proper closure and it was established they had been closed and sealed properly at the time the engine power failure occurred.
The lifters are knocking. And after 3 attemps it has yet to be fixed. I have been waiting a week now to hear from the dealership. They said they do not know what to do now. They are waiting for a factory rep. To call. Half the motor has been replaced. They have already replaced the whole valve train.
