    At 170208 miles the cam went out while driving it on a city street it started tapping lifters, i took it directly to repair shop for inspection and a new motor has to be put in. I bought this vehicle one year ago at 139171 miles with powertrain assurance with apg corp. But no one wants to cover it now that it has issues. Even with regular maintenance.
