My engine malfunctioned by throwing a rod, causing the car to lose power and leak oil on the lower passenger side of the engine bay onto the floor below. I was driving to work on a busy highway at the time, and I had to pull over immediately to avoid collisions from other vehicles on the highway. The car immediately became undrivable. I had check engine lights visible on the dash after the incident and I could smell the oil that had leaked from the engine from inside the car. I had to call AA
No incidents so far. However, it is causing a lot of anxiety knowing that the car could potentially stall or crash since I received the email notice on 12/18/2023. What is a reasonable wait time?
