“Engine warning sign sometimes kept coming and going or blinking. Went to a mechanic and he thought it wasn't the problem of the engine since there was no record in the memory in the car. After a few weeks later, car stopped on the road. Towed the car to a mechanic and discovered two pistons were broken and he recommended to replace the engine to another one with new parts that belong to the engine. It cost me $2721.01 total to fix.”
