I loved my 2015 Mustang GT with performance package, i was the first owner and owned it since May 2015. I had the oil changed every 3000 miles always used premium gas and i did a lot of maintenance on the car (spent $2000 on new battery and breaks 1 month before the engine died).

One day on my way to work the car shut down at a red light.

Few days later the dealer sent me a quote through the phone for a $15 000 repair for a new engine. I was heartbroken, I took it to a mechanic i know to confirm the engine was gone and he confirmed.

I ended up trading in my car for $6000 to a ford dealer and bought a 2024 Mustang GT with performance package.

Still a year later and i wonder why the engine died. One month prior to engine dying , my car was at a dealership service center for 3 days while they were doing maintenance (Breaks , oil change, and car battery). Did someone do something to the car during this time or did someone mess up my engine during oil change? I still question my self how a coyote engine can die after 80k miles as they are known to be very reliable.

I’m very skeptical about this. There SHOULD’VE been some symptoms, and one of your mechanics should have been forthcoming with more information.
