Driving home from work on the highway. Going about 70-75 in 5th. I see the check engine light come on. since im about 10 mins away from home, i decide to drive home. As i proceed to drive i slow down to around 65 and the engine starts to make noise. As i keep driving the noise gets louder and louder until i cant bear it anymore. At this time im about 2 mins away from home and i pull off the highway. As im doing that i lose power steering and such. I take the car to 2 mechanics. Both say i need a new motor and the 2nd one, who performed "minimal" tear down, said the root cause was a rod bearing that came out and ground up the engine.
I have a warrenty with the dealer and he's claiming that the car broke down due to negligence aka i was racing and blew the motor. Im trying to find a way to prove my innocence so he will have to pay for the repair.
