Hi, new to the forum. looking for some advice. I have a 2013 OB limited 2.5i cvt.
At 3000 miles the engine got loud at start and above 2.5 k rpm. Reported to dealer they investigated and tomorrow are scheduled to pull the engine. They did diagnostics and no codes even after torture test ride. Also no engine lights or other signs of failure. It sounds like the engine is running dry with no oil. That was confirmed to be full. Also, gas mileage went down to low 20's pg.
Ok, to me looks like a new engine. How long does that take? Is the 2013 2.5i available for transplant on such a new car?
Anything I should push for like extended warranty or even a new replacement vehicle? I don't know, that why I ask.
Never been in this situation prior.
The dealership has been excellent but, at some point is such a major failure at 3k miles bigger than the dealership? I would hope corporate would like to do an autopsy and rule out a major recall.
Looking forward to some educated direction with similar experiences and outcomes.
Thank you
