Without any warning - no high temp light or any engine light - the water pump failed causing severe damage to the engine because it caused the timing chain to go slack and allowing coolant to get into the engine. This seems to be a known issue with this engine. I ran diagnosis the same morning with perfect results before failure. I was turning onto my street when vehicle lost power and would not start again.

I purchased this car within the past month from a used car dealership with 78,000 miles on it. This past weekend, i was pulling into a parking lot and the engine shut off while trying to park my car. Luckily there wasn't any traffic behind me but if this would have happened while cars were behind me, i probably would have gotten into a severe accident.
