I purchased the car in 12/17 at 71,000 miles, as a treat for myself for going through Bad marriage. After I had it for a day I noticed white smoke coming from tailpipe after car shut off. Being under used car warranty I returned to dealership and was told "Its just water vapor", colorless true, water vapor... NO! After driving 1 year and 10,000 miles I got on highway on way to work and... Sensors flashing, check engine light on, traction control and stabilatrack deactivated. Loss of complete power and limped to service shop at 25 mph TOPS! After diagnostics... Cracked 4th piston, cost for repairs $6,500 if it was just piston and $11,000 for new engine that they don't make anymore.
Now I'm stuck paying for a shiny red $20,000 piece of metal that's basically a lawn ornament at this time. I think the dealership knew it was gonna happen, just a matter of time, but as long as they didn't have to fix it!
