113,000 miles, the car said reduced engine power, service stabillitrack and then died. wouldn't start. took to repair shop and they pulled the solenoid from the engine and said it was covered with metal shavings. car was within oil change range but no oil present. now have to replace the engine and this is an issue with all these 2.4 engines.
Whenever i am driving my vehicle for an hour it starts to stall or sputter in traffic and the engine dies completely. it will restart but still continues to hesitate when accelerating. i've taken it to a mechanic and no error codes pop up when this happens so they do not know the cause or how to fix the issue.

Back on february 9th, 2019 i had an oil change and received whatever premium-ultra synthetic oil they had. this oil was rated up to 9,000 miles i believe. as i was heading in for an oil change on the morning of june 2nd, 2019 the car suddenly locked with brakes and steering becoming extremely stiff. i was driving when this occurred but had been coming to a stop with nobody in front of me luckily. had this happened 15 seconds before as i was going 55mph around a curve, i would have undoubtedly killed myself or someone else. there was no ability to steer the car or brake. when i took the car to the dealership they told me the engine would require a complete rebuild, costing seven-thousand-dollars. they claim it was caused by a "lack of maintenance (ie. not keeping up on oil changes)". the lack of oil then caused the timing chain to break, which then further damaged intake valves, head gaskets, balance chain, etc. now i know february 9th and june 2nd is nearly four months apart, however, in that time i had put less than 2,000 miles on the car. how was i ...
Timing chain tensioner failed at just less than 75,000 miles. i've been told by 2 different mechanics that it would be easier to replace the entire engine than get the pieces out of the engine.
The car was very noisy at start up. had the oil changed, the noise was better for a while but came back in less than 2 months and now it is constant. the car will stall out in the middle of driving. i will lose everything, electrical and power steering. this would happen whether or not on a highway or during city driving. engine light came on and i took it to my mechanic. mechanic told me it was in reduce power mode. camshaft coralation code.
Engine of my car acts weird and i took it to the mechanic shop and they say theres nothing wrong

Had to replace engine because of detergent in recommended engine oil. with the yearly oil change and high detergent levels it eats away at seals and gasket.

Check engine light on. code p0011 present. indicating over-advanced camshaft position sensor. while performing a u-turn, the vehicle died/lost engine power and steering locked in place in the middle of the road. the vehicle was spread across three lanes, as i was in the middle of my u-turn, with oncoming traffic approaching. luckily, i was able to start the car back up and regain control just as traffic neared my position. almost deadly situation. also noticing engine hesitation as well as shaking of the vehicle while idling.
