VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK WITH ONLY 18,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN ON A TRACK OR USED FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN A WEEKEND TOY. COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AS A RESULT OF A VALVE BREAKING OFF INSIDE THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING CASUALLY AT 50 MPH. AS A RESULT THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING TAKING WITH IT THE POWER STEERING AND POWER ASSISTED BRAKES. I WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES FROM THE NEAREST GAS STATION OR SERVICE FACILITY OF ANY KIND. THERE WAS ALSO NO CELL PHONE SERVICE AND WAS LEFT STRANDED. I HAVE SINCE HAD A BRAND NEW ENGINE PUT IN AT A TOTAL COST OF OVER $ 16,000.

An investigation is not a finding of a defect, and closure does not prove a vehicle is problem-free.
