I was just at the dealer and i ask about Rod Bearing failure and Said that this is cause by driving te car hard over revved or red lining which will lead to Rod Bearing Failure... Not sure how concrete the info is but he said he had 2 cases with engine replacement.
well lucky for u previous owner might have drove the car hard and now u got a new engine..  |
So we bought //M cars for routine daily driving? I could do that with a natural gas Civic and pay $2/gal and drive in the carpool lane. That's just an idiot response. See below.

This is becoming a bit distressing.
Someone should start up a registry. I'd feel a lot better with at least a 100,000 mile warranty on the engine.
