I was running errands to prepare for my birthday party and stopped at a CVS. Went in and was out in 15 minutes. Tried starting the engine and it would refuse to start. I waited a while and attempted again but the entire care shook similar to how a big rig does when downshifting.

I had to have the car towed to the shop and when they looked at it the mechanic said I had a broken piston. I just purchased this car in November. I didn't even have the car for a year yet. I bought it with 102K miles on it. Ruined my whole weekend and birthday! Now I've been stuck driving a slow ass Toyota Camry while I wait on a new engine. $3,400 which could have been used for other improvements on the car.

I am so pissed car drove perfectly fine when I left work stopped at family dollar for 5 minutes come out tried to crank car and heard engine stumble tried a couple more time it wouldn't crank unless I was on the gas only for a sec and heard engine noise got it towed home and pulled the plugs and saw one of the cylinders had bent spark plug tips so I looked down the hole with a light and saw the piston had a hole in it broke valve $8000 for another engine but I see I'm not alone I've read at least 100 other people this has happened to mainly on 06 models
