The engine went stalled in the middle of the highway. Lucky enough, I was able to stop the car safely without any collusion. Brought the vehicle to a mechanic and diagnosed with excessive consumption of engine oil. The engine had catastrophic damage and needed a replacement. I spoke to piercey toyota service director ken johnson and he stated there is no active recall for the vehicle and do not believe it is the vehicle issue. I do not believe that is the case, further investigation is needed to prevent other same model drivers from a deadly engine stalling crash.
