Yea. Once you hit 30k the engine stops working.

Lol yup, through some engineering phenomena, the engine was built that as soon as it hits its 30,000th mile, it dies. I feel bad for the guys who are seeing 29,999 on the odo right now

Roomer has it, the Dilithium crystals in the starboard plasma conduits start to degenerate,this in turn causes the warp drive to fail.
No mate, some engines fail, some dont, mileage differs from engine to engine, I just read a post where the owner has 180,000 miles (believe it or not ) on the original motor. Use the search icon at the top of the page, and the Force will be with you.

The 30k engine replacement is right there in the manual in the maintenance time line. Don't forget the 50k fusion reactor replacement.
