Reported at 28,097 miles, April 2021 Crash

While driving on a highway (I95, speed 55 MPH) the engine suddenly died, was able to pull over and restart the engine, which now made a terrible mechanic noise. Could drive off to a smaller road where the engine stalled again. Had to tow the car to the dealer, who advised that the engine needed to be changed. Two weeks later the engine was finally changed but now this time they stated that the turbos needed to be changed.
