Regardless I cant believe I already have what could be a major problem at such low mileage.
1 oil change, BONE stock car driven mostly on the highway. I got 2k off the initial purchase, I'm seriously considering trading it up as long as I dont take more than a 2k hit.

One issue is not enough to drop a car. Especially while you're still under full warranty. At least not imo...
Let them figure out what it is...they will....fix it. And off you go on your merry way.

His issue was the timing belt had stretched out and wrecked some stuff (I don't recall exactly what). He is having to do a full rebuild on the engine to fix it.

I don't believe this V6 has a timing belt. It's a chain.
