“Car has 89,900 miles on it. Has been serviced every 5k miles. Never had an issue. And then last Friday the car started making a rattling sound under the hood. So I pulled over. No warning lights whatsoever was visible. I turned the car off checked everything and it all seemed fine. I turned back on the car and heard nothing. So I began to drive and after 2 mins the noise started again and now a warning ⚠️ light appeared and stated to pullover safely. I had it towed to shop only to find out that my engine was blown!”
