“One of the engine main bearings failed at a little over 27k miles. There was a knocking noise on the lower part of the engine. The engine could have possibly failed leaving me stranded. Yes the dealer was able to replicate the noise and replace the main bearing. No it hasn’t been inspected since I’ve had it. There were no warning signs other than the knocking noise and loud idling.”
