welllllllll... it was raining really hard cuz we were getting one of those Tropical Storm Eduardo bands and I was driving along going slow and avoiding puddles at all costs... i have a CAI... I pulled up to a red light and then went to take off again and my car had NO power whatsoever... so i pulled into a parking lot right then... my friend that was following me got in my car to see what was going on and i started driving in the parking lot... it was driving fine... then BAM... it shut off violently... threw me forward and i hit the steering wheel :
uch::... and then it wouldn't start again... it didn't make any weird noises
had it towed to the closest dealership and they called me the next day to tell me that theres water on my pistons and all in my intake... he also used the term "hydrolocked"... now i know if i hydrolocked it then i filled a whole cylinder up with water, correct? and more than likely cracked the cylinder wall, bent a rod, etc... he said i needed a new engine, well since thats not something thats covered under warranty and i really wanted a second opinion i went and picked it up... while i was there i asked him what was cracked, bent, or broken in the engine - he said NOTHING... now why can't they just flush out my engine, change the oil, plugs, etc and be done with it if it didn't cause any internal damage??
i took it to a different place and i'm waiting for my insurance company to go and look at my car - its covered under comprehensive damages - but the place won't touch it until insurance gets there...
what do yall think??
