NHTSA complaint #11470529

Owner complaint summary

While driving on the interstate (65mph) in traffic, there was a sudden loss of power causing deceleration and the inability to maintain speed. A collision was barely avoided both from being rear-ended and from trying to safely move to the shoulder while other traffic passed. A certified mechanic later determined the piston in cylinder 2 broke, the spark plug broke and the piston rings pulled to the top. The mechanic also said, "Replacement of engine required." The vehicle has 52,839 miles (2,839 miles above the 50,000 warranty). There were no warning lamps or messages and no symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON OCCURENCE WITH THESE VEHICLES. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR A FORCED RECALL?
