Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was going uphill and heard a clocking sound and speed was slowing down..shifted to 2nd gear and heard a big snapped...as i was going to the side curve, the engine seized on me (engine block). dealer said the rod in the engine broke and some internal stuff. i just can't believe that a 6yrs old w/ a 109,000 miles car would just give up on me. i previously had toyotas that lasted a long time w/no engine problem. i even had my oil change prior to my trip so i can't say i didn't have any oil.
