Engine needs to be replaced at 57k according to dealer. Car ran perfectly fine. In July it had to be towed to dealer because it wouldn't start. I brought it to the dealer at the beginning of Sept. because it was taking slightly longer to start and CEL came on. Apparently it's failing compression tests. It's still at the dealer waiting for the replacement engine. Always checked oil and performed scheduled maintenances. Looking back it was probably a complete waste of money to do so.
