In Seattle for a meeting and was driving my rental 2011-2012 Ford Fusion down I5 getting to my hotel when the engine made a strange noice and a bunch of smoke started coming out of the exhaust and would no longer accelerate. Oil light came on and I coasted to the shoulder. Wouldn't refire, so called Hertz and they sent a truck to grab me. Ends up it threw a rod thru the block... 16,000 miles on the car and it's last oil change 1200 miles ago... Freaky... Damn Ford products. Obviously NOT the superior platvorm. I've had no issues with the replacement... a Chevy Impala...
