I have to agree. Consumer reports and other surveys doesn't show any statistically high rate of engine failures. I have to imagine you are either unlucky, it wasn't maintained properly, a shop screwed up a repair, of it was abused somehow.

What failed on the motor???

I have to think that the best option is ot find a rebuilt or used replacement of the same motor it came with. Otherwise check out the "Hybrid" forum where people swap differnt trannys and engines from different models and years.

My advice...find a cheap motor at a junkyard... so it runs good.. then trade in or sell the car and get a different one... ideally a new car with a extended warranty.
